At your age, is $45k really worth the haemorrhoids, heartburn and having to urinate every five minutes?

Except for the pee'ing part, I had a pretty easy pregnancy but nah, it's not for me. I'd be one of those crazy ladies who would fall in love with the baby and refuse to hand it over probably. At least, I'm not certain enough to say that I WOULDN'T do that to ever agree to give it a try. Fuck that.

I did, however, just send in a brief application for a...3 letter word for "work". I can't even say it again. Me??? &^%????

I hope to hell they don't write back.

I thought about it for 5 minutes but I can't come up with a three letter word for bitch?

Dog, dummy.

Well they asked me for more info. I didn't apply to make great money or anything. It just sounded interesting, it's not many hours per week and the hours are flexible.

That said, after I sent in the letter, I did the math and realized after taxes, I'd probably be bringing home about $100 a week after paying the house cleaner. If I fired her and the once a week dog walker, it would almost be a break even.

Just thinking about this shit is too much work.

You applied to be a dog?

No. I applied for a 3 letter word...job.

She just called and worked me into taking her to see Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs II; had the theater and showtime options on-hand and everything. "I know YOU'LL love it!", she kept saying. Couldn't say "no". Crafty kid.

Haven't seen part I, so hoping I can follow the story line okay.

Been there...............done that. Pizza is good after.

Username could get a bus and pu kids at school but drive them around for an extra hour till their parents got outta work and save enough for a Mercedes ragtop for next summer.

I hope you're okay & it wasn't a little kid that needed an exorcism.

Sally! Stay out of the water!

It was a really fun movie - watermelephants, hippotatoes and all. Office Earl's character made me laugh out loud a couple of times.

I took her to Mel's Diner a few doors down from the theater. Cheeseburgers and chocolate shakes. Good stuff, but don't think I'll be hungry again before tomorrow morning.

She's crafty, but sweet. She probably won't need an exorcism til she hits 12 or 13.

8 yrs. old is probably my favorite age when it comes to little kids. They are old enough to carry on a conversation and have fun with but not so old that they are sullen and lippy.

Why, I'm not afraid of no stinking killer whale.

Your town made my news this morning. A man has died from contracting the flesh eating bacteria after being in the surf.

Oh crap, I didn't see that. I'm actually getting ready to go to the beach, one of my son's friends is having a birthday party at the park there. I guess we won't be going in the water.

Agreed.

They change when they leave elementary school and head to junior high/middle school.

I've got a 20 year old and that's a great age too. Past teenage drama, more mature and they finally appreciate mom and dad again.

6 and 5 is pretty fun too, though they still love to torment each other.

I could never be a stay at home dad.

I'd never survive.

That is not a bad idea. I could earn tons if I made homework completion a mandatory part of bus departure.

I think a job like that calls for a big, obnoxious whistle. I want one.

My Nana's 100^th birthday is today.

Oh the things she has seen. Happy birthday Nana!!!

Being patient shouldn't be such a struggle.
