The ranting continues

Another open letter:
Other parents (really just mothers*) at the playground,
Pay attention to your brats children! Some of us that visit the playground at the park or indoor play areas would actually like our kids to come out with all the limbs they entered with, but you what makes that difficult? When little Timmy is running [...]

Welcome to my world

So the weather has been fantastic lately, cool and crisp just the way I like it. Only problem is our house is pretty damn cold right now and our heating? Not working.

I’m already convinced you are all just [...]

What do you get…

When you mix a birthday and Easter at preschool?

An “egg laying giraffe”, of course.

Are you kidding me?

Seriously? SERIOUSLY?!
So, this morning, aka: the hottest day predicted this week, we wake up to find that our air conditioning is not working. Great. I call the real estate agent who tells me, “We’ll get someone out there as soon as we can.” In the past this has meant that nobody comes for ages and [...]
