Oh boy, the good old Christians are boycotting The Golden Compass. I'm not surprised, obviously, but come on, people, give kids some sort of credit for how much they can actually understand. ( Cut for potential spoiler for the books. )

I told my kids on Monday that it's not my job to have them make Mother's Day things. They are to do that at home because we have too much to do. They have crayons and paper at home. Why do they have to take up my precious time to make it in school ( Read more... )

I'm disturbed by the fact at least one of my girls says Fergie is her favorite singer and "Fergilicious" is her favorite song. Other than the horrible four minutes I spent watching that "Humps" video last week, I've never heard any of Fergie's crap. So I looked up the lyrics to hear why this 7-year-old is listening to.

My mother has the radio on to the Christmas music station.

I walked through the kitchen going La la la, I can't hear it!I REFUSE to have anything to do with Christmas until after Thanksgiving. Christmas is my favorite holiday and I love the songs and movies, but dude, Thanksgiving comes first! Give it some love ( Read more... )

I ripped my kids a new one this afternoon. First time so far this year, I think. One kid informs me that he doesn't want to do Science, so I told the class, "Well, SoAndSo doesn't want to do Science, so I guess that means we're not going outside to draw pictures as I was planning to do." (We're talking about living and non-living things and ( Read more... )

I've never read The DaVinci Code, although I plan to one of these days to see what all the hoopla is about and I always read/see things that the Church says to boycott, but I'm completely sick of hearing about it everywhere I go. The preview is all over the place. The History Channel has a show on right now. The Catholic Standard and Times keeps ( Read more... )

My mini-rant to my mother after she was all Oh, why aren't you going out this weekend?

Do you even know how irritating my week has been? I don't want to go out. I want to be left alone. Remember the whole "I'm an introvert" thing? I'm happiest when I'm left alone. I'm not one of those people that wants attention. People that like that are ( Read more... )

AOL's main story is the death of the sons of Hussein. And they have the pictures of the dead bodies. I'll admit my morbid curiousity got the best of me and I looked at the pictures. Gee, it really left me feeling so very patriotic, looking at pictures of two dead men ( Read more... )

So I didn’t have to work until 6 today, just 5pm. Bought Lilo and Stitch used at Blockbuster and I’m hoping it works because it looks a little on the scratched-up side.

Had a Cary Elwes night unintentionally. Watched Men In Tights and The Princess Bride, both high quality movies. Love it. Left me wanting to watch Holy Grail and Spaceballs. ( Read more... )
