Whine
Me: My wine is gone.
Husband: Understand that after this, there is no more.
Good husband - bought me a bottle of wine for after the 8 year old birthday party
Bad husband - He only bought one.

Time flies
whether you want it to or not, no matter what you are doing. Unless of course you are doing something you dread then it creeps by or worse seems to move backwards. But that's not the point.
What is the point?
My baby is 8. She's my oldest, but my two are so close in age (they are 16 months apart. Yes, I did do it on purpose. Yes, I am mentally unstable. What's your point)... as I was saying... they are so close in age that I consider both of them my babies.
She's tall, she's mature, and she's 8. Eight! EIGHT! How did this happen? Soon she'll be 10 and then a teenager, and I have been listening to all of you, I know the best is coming.
Sigh.
It isn't enough that I have to deal with my emotional ramifications of her getting another year older... we have to have the dreaded birthday party. I suggested a nice bowling party or pottery painting. You know something where you go somewhere, not your home, and someone, not you, sets it up and cleans it up. Somehow we are doing a kids party in my house. I will have 10 under 10s running around my house which is currently a disaster area. The whole house needs to be bulldozed and start over.
By tomorrow afternoon.
Last night her brother got upset because HE hadn't gotten her a present yet. And I forgot all about buying plates and forks and stuff. And I suppose I should have some sort of activity for them to do. And my parents are coming and I have to remember to get clean sheets on their bed.
Do you feel sorry for me yet?
I didn't think so.
Oh, and Uncle Anon, she squeed when she saw your gift.

It's not a toy
The girl child came to me this morning with one of her beanie baby kittens gingerly held in her hands. It was spread eagle on its back.
"Mommy, brother killed my kitten."
"I guess you will have to use some mommy magic to bring him back to life."
She looks at me completely serious with tears and says, "They may just be toys to you, but they are REAL to me!"
I wonder if I need to start planning the funeral.
We talked about something else for a minute and then I noticed that although the kitten was still on its back she had curled it into a ball.
"Mommy! He's not dead, just sick!"
"I guess then he will just need a little mommy love to make he all better."

What have I been up to?
Because I am too lazy to think of something to write, here are my Tweets for the last couple of days:
- 1 degree outside. Too effing cold! The day should be called on account of freezing.
- why oh why must #thebachelor suck me in everytime? I'm hooked.
- why why why must he always keep the one who is so obviously WRONG. #bachelor

- 1st day back to school 4 kiddos. Missed bus so waited in ginormous line to drop off at school. 1/2 hour late to work. 1 degree out. Damn!
- My daughter is making a WoW character with her dad. Why did I think that "I" would be the one addicted to that game?
- RT @MarinkaNYC: Omg, it's the day before Monday Eve Day, isn't it? <<-- well, that just ruined my night. Going to bed now.

- Meh...
- @subtlepen my brain says I should be somewhere warm and tropical with cabana boys and drinks with umbrellas.
- It is still snowing, big pretty flakes. The kind where you should be home with a fireplace, a blanket, and a book.
- It snowed. Time to find out if I remember how to drive in this stuff or if I am one of those idiots on the road I complain about.
- Avatar. Awesome. Worth every penny.
- Off for a little dinner then some Avatar. Can I squeee now?
- Get to go see Avatar tonight!
- Is it time to go home yet? 10 am. Crap.

- For the 1st time in family history I won annual Christmas card game. With minimal glaring and bickering. I will not be letting any1 forget.
- Time to begin the annual Christmas night Uno game. Everyone better watch out because I have a good feeling about this.
- Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good... well, just have a good one!
- Off to do some last minute shopping as soon as the babysitter gets here. Then it's off to Grandma's when the hubby gets home from work.
