Oh ~ did Penni say that? She gets me all excited. I have to confess, "Mommy" is imho the hardest, physically and mentally the hardest job I can personally imagine; and I would tend to want to SMACK my husband/wife/partner if they even ASKED what I was doing. I am certain I would answer in the caustic. It is a job completely beyond my faculties, and that is why there was not even a reflective period, not even a obverse moment, when the ole vasectomy discussion came up. All you guys do is FLEX. Be flexible for this, for that, for this, for that and that and this..... Jeezus! L E T ME OUT OF HERE! There was a Roman Emperor, I forget who, who stuck some kids in a palace with deaf people to see if they would learn to talk. I would have to build my kid a heated box, that pulls up to a little door in Safeway, and send them an allowance. ("Snurd was raised by a door.") Then there's the setting example thing. "You want beer or a joint for breakfast." "If that's Work, tell em I'm not here." "Jeez ~ Fuck it." I would have to scrape off ALL my skin to even LOOK for an ounce of parental material. But Stumpy likes me. Hey! He and me are pals. I pet him. He never has to be picked up from school, just the floor. And he never forgets his lunch.

I forget the comedian, a funny sarcastic man, who wondered at the accomplishments of our ancestors, when today merely taking the dry cleaning in uses up an entire day.

I know exactly what you mean! THat just happened to me! I was going outside to clean the pool filters and thought- oh I'll get some chicken out for dinner first so I went to the refrigerator to see if we had any in the freezer and I noticed that there was no orange juice, so I got out a can to thaw, and when I put it in the frig, something smelled funny so I reached for a tupperware container that I didn't recognize, and knocked over a quart basket of blueberries and they rolled all over the floor, which Barb had just cleaned, so I had to stop and pick them all up, while the cats played soccer with them. Of course, the blueberries were too ripe and a lot of them burst when they hit the floor so I had to wash the floor again. And then I thought I'd better check the cats' paws before they got blueberry stains on the furniture, and I noticed that Myer's flea collar was very old and cracked. I thought I had an extra in the laundry room somewhere, and went to look and when I saw the dryer I remembered I had never taken the sheets out and remade the bed. But the phone rang, and it was Dan saying he was late so I poured a glass of wine and came in here.
