oxymoron of the day

fast food...rarely fast and sometimes not food at least not anything easily recognizable

Easter...really???

how is it Easter already....wasn't it just Christmas??? I need to stop by the grocery store on the way home to pick up eggs we somehow missed out last year on that since we were road tripping and wouldn't you know C still expects the "bunny" to deliver something and I might add Easter bunny still creepy as hell but he does have the very best candy

name, rank & serial number

growing up the biggies were learning your phone number & address, I still remember my first phone number HA1-6..something, something, something okay maybe I don't exactly remember I'm old give me a break. These days kids have to learn the above and cell phone numbers, more than likely several cell phone numbers. And it struck me yesterday as C passed our email address to someone that it is some pretty handy info for kids to learn as well.

spring break

this time for the kiddo and nope not doing anything this year either...there has been talk of a Disney trip for next spring break but of course we were suppose to go this summer right after school let out, that got changed to Thanksgiving at some point and currently I guess it has been dropped altogether for now with hopes for next March. I suppose the only way we will get it done is if I just book it and make a down payment forcing us to actually pay for the trip. Not much going this week hubs & I have work, I have school, although labs were cancelled this week giving me this evening off, C had his sleepover, is spending some time with MIL, has gone to daycare a couple of days and is spending the day with David on Friday doing guy stuff I suppose. Unfortunately I don't have any vacation to spare and take a day off with him this year which bothers me but it cannot be helped. We have some Mommy/C time booked for Saturday starting out at the ihop for breakfast which I am looking forward to

dear US Government

-first off huge waste of money sending me a letter telling me you are sending me a census form then sending me a census form
-it probably even came on a Saturday for all I know, yes please drop Saturday delivery of mail it'll save tons of money and most of us can wait till Monday to get our junk mail
-kudos on the "count" of gays & lesbians; families do indeed come in all forms!
-they come in all colors too.....my son is multi-racial, hell for that matter most of the south has American-Indian blood of some sort in their background, anywho no box to denote any variations on that
