Post-Mother's Day Blog Post

I've had three whole days without the necessity of going to or attending any type of academic function--no receptions, no meetings, no classes, no work--and I've decided one thing for sure: I really needed a fucking break. I don't plan on even driving to the town the college is in except once, and that's because I'm too much of a jackass to get direct deposit. Good luck to those of you attending the May Mini. I think that class is going to be a good one, but fuck it . . . enough is enough, for a while anyway.

Well, I had a pretty quiet weekend, I guess. Friday was a real asswhip for several reasons. First of all, my A/C decided that it was going to stop working, which is not a good thing. My wife and children went out of town, so that would have certainly given me the chance to get some serious partying done. Except that I was really fucking tired from not sleeping much earlier in the week. So I sat at home all fucking night and laid on the fucking couch. I had a few drinks and burned a few smokes, but it's definitely not what one might call a party night. I thought about watching Capote since it won Best Actor, but I didn't think I'd be able to maintain focus. So maybe I'll check it out tomorrow. Or then again, maybe I won't (Just had to give this some recognition--it could be the most confusing book ever to allow a naive 6th grader to read).

Saturday . . . hmmm . . . well, I'll say thanks to my brother who came over and checked out the A/C, which is now working fine after its mysterious actions from the night before. Then we went and fucked around at random home improvement stores and nurseries looking at gardening type bullshit. As I managed to escape multiple places without spending any money, I felt as though I had really exercised some self-control. I deserve several cookies.

Weird and fascinating quotes I heard recently that makes me think my children are operating on two different wavelengths:
Question: If you could wish for anything in the world, what would it be?
  • Tyler: "I wish that bad things wouldn't happen to good people."
  • Kaelyn: "I wish the whole world was made of chocolate."
P.S.--Go Mavs.

OK, laughing my ass off at Tyler. He really does take after you.

And is that the Judy Blume book about wet dreams? The one you didn't understand until college? I think the last Blume I read was Blubber. Really should've read it as a child, maybe I would've enjoyed it.

Nevermind, read that wrong. I thought he said he did want bad things to happen to good people. :P

After reading the first comment about my son, I took it as a compliment. The second comment which retracted your earlier statement was an unneccessary kick in the crotch. Thanks, A-train. You're the best.

"I deserve several cookies."

You should've been at my house, given the fact that I spent most of the early portion of the evening in the kitchen, making dinner, making the asswhip that are deviled eggs, and baking some shit--all of which are various things I've neglected to do during the past couple of weeks.

I think my husband was shocked that I still knew my way around the kitchen.

I think I'm going to the grocery store with my wife tomorrow to help show her where they have things that aren't already prepared and frozen. Man cannot live on Totinos alone.

Don't be crotch-kicked. When I originally thought he said he hopes bad things happen to good people it sounded like something you'd say while making an overt effort to be angsty. Not a sincere angsty comment. Angsty for show, if you will. Which, in essence, means you're not cold-hearted, it's simply for effect. Much like my perviness, except my perviness is in fact very real.
