11.5 weeks and counting

11 more weeks of school. It is so bizarro to think I will be done by summer and it will be the first summer I can relax, work part-time and hang out...and you know what? I put it in writing, hung it on my mirror and I'm holding myself to it. I want to do a little yard work, hang with the kids...you know do that stuff you other moms do...Go to Starbucks, wander around Target aimlessly, go to the library, hit the pool and be home to make dinner. I haven't done that in sooooo long. I can hardly wait. Bobby thinks I'll be bored outta my mind...Whatever happens, if you guys notice me start blabbing about signing up for some other "real school" (if it's paint a pot, don't worry)...stop me...please.

ohhhh M Jacobs...

If you hadn't been such a nerd all those years back in punk rock days...wearing your khaki pants and long flowing hippy hair...you would have known we were all about the Catwoman eyes, in 1987.

Just ask Soo Catwoman

it's ok...i still adore you...and your Simpson Tattoos

I brought you in....I'll...

I feel bad...
I had it out with my 13 Y.O. I just couldn't take his nonchalant attitude towards school anymore. I asked him yesterday where his notebooks for school were. He actually looked me in the eye and said,
"I only have one."
Seriously...let me do the math....7 classes, full year of work and you have ONE EFFIN notebook? not even a 3 ring binder? REALLY?????? Why the hell do I go school shopping if we can just use one NOTEBOOK for the next 6 years!!!!????
and by the way, you little shit...I'd like to point out to you, that I have NEVER...ONCE....seen a graded paper from you. NOT ONE!!!!!!!! Where are they?
"Ummmmmm, I recycle them."
(nice terminology)
You mean you throw them into the garbage?...
I will kill you...do you get it? I have that ability, I am your mother, and as you know I brought you in; I can take you out, and no one will even question it...if you don't start bringing shit home, doing your homework, and using more than ONE EFFIN FOLDER for 7 classes...I will kill you....I will.
I seriously will.

I quit drinking yesterday...
I could have used a cocktail before and after that conversation.
Oh well...I treated myself to a Bubbly Water with a lime wedge.


I will kill him...seriously
