I gave in...

Hello my loves. No... I didn't give in and cut my hair. I love cutting my hair, that part was easy! I gave in and joined Face Book... ya, ya... you're all wondering what the big fucking deal is? Well, the big fucking deal is that now I've got one more way of trying to stay connected with all you people. It's pretty fun... I have to admit... I'm a little addicted to the crack they call Farm Ville. The girls at work got me hooked. Wasn't my fault. Talk to them. I'm weak. Blah, blah, blah.

So... crazy weather around these parts lately. One minute I've got the AC pumping and the next I've got my new Mountain Hard Wear fleece zipped up to my chin (yes I'm name dropping and totally bragging but it was a bday present and I'm allowed to brag now and then). Welcome to the land of the Great Salty Lake.

And yes... I use foul language on occasion. I'm not going to apologize. This is my blog and I put a warning on it. This is not a journal I'm keeping for my kids... this is for me (and you too baby... of course!)

So... I feel like a neglectful Mistress. But that's part of the game is it not?! You've all been very, very naughty monkeys and I'm punishing you! (I must be careful... it's very easy to enjoy the power trip a little too much and get lost in character).

Did I mention I miss Miss Salti? Well, I do. I might cry. She's gone from Monday to Friday every damn week and all I get are the weekends which of course she shares with everyone else (and herself). Where is she you ask? I'm sure she blogs about it... go read her.

So. I have no more Sookie books to read (ya, I'm a huge nerd and read them all in about 2 weeks)... no more True Blood to watch until next season... no new Twilight to read or watch...

WTF people!!?

I'm having withdrawals. Could you tell? No?
Then you are an idiot and it's time you were punished;)
(see how easy that is... you must try it sometime... very fun).

Okay. I'm just apparently rambling. I worked last night and got a two hour nap today. I've been setting up my Face book account and playing farm ville with the kids all day along while attempting to maintain my cool, keep them fed, dressed, and in the proximity of my property. I think I've had about all I can handle today. I could maybe handle a good stiff...

Oh well you know;)

till next time...

A Girl Can Dream...

Wanted:

Sugar Daddy...

You know... the usual. Just someone to pay the bills so I can spend more time doing things around the house with the kids.



Maybe he could provide a nanny so I could take a vacation to some humble location now and then?


If you know anyone who would be interested... let me know;)

Contradictions

I had to put up with 8 years of this horrible public speaker. Eight. Luckily I wasn't in public school at the time. But if I had been I would have dutifully zoned out along with everyone else. Because that's what you do if you don't want to listen to something. Today I read a note that came home with my second grader from his Principal:

"Random School" Parents,
Random School students will have the opportunity to watch President Obama's speech on Tuesday september 8th, live at 10:00 a.m., in the Multi-Purpose Room.

However, should you prefer your child not participate in this experience, e-mail (principal's email address) and your request will be honored.

Thank you,
Merry

Here's my response:

Hi Merry!
We absolutely love being apart of Random School. My son, Tristan, is in second grade in Ms. H's class. I know you only requested that people email you if they wish that their child not take part in the President's address to children but I thought I would write to express the other side of that. I can't recall a time all throughout my school age or within the last couple of decades when parents have been given the option to 'opt out' of having their children listen to the President speak on TV. I think the right to choose is a lovely thing but unfortunately in this case I feel like it shows our children that what their President has to say is not important. Has the outcry from parents been so severe that Random School felt it was necessary to follow this media fueled trend? I am just an equally concerned and curious parent and would like to know.

Aside from that... Thanks for all of your hard work! It's apparent in the teachers and our beautiful school what a great job you do around there! I have other friends with children in various charter schools and I have to say that I think ours is hands down the best;)
Take care,
Auri
