Why do I have to be an optimistic pinhead??

I had a sh!t weekend. Spent most of it wishing I could drink wine or martinis (Concussion says 'NO!') and crying. Why? Because I'm a stupid optimist. It's been 6.5 years since I've been around the skids. I cannot have children. I went into this with rose-colored glasses that were as thick as Coke bottles. Yes, the skids are COD. Yes, their mother is a Ho. But DH is stable, consistent, hard-working, loving, and steadfast. I got to skip teething and croup and 2am feedings and poopie diapers and terrible twos... it was gonna be GREAT!! I was Betty Crocker and Suzie Homemaker rolled into one.

Rakastan khavia!!!

I'm a Finn. Finnish people are serious about their coffee and are the largest consumers of coffee in the world, averaging 12 kilos per year. DH and I drink more than our share - 45 or more kilos a year (that's over 100 pounds).

In a family with 5 children, I'm the only one who got the Coffee Gene (all of my siblings are tea drinkers...sigh). I like it black as pitch and STRONG. DH and I brew our coffee separately because I actually brew it too strong for DH (who is German/Italian)!

How to tell DH "no effing way in hades" in a NICE way?

My family has a summer house in another state. DH and I usually go twice a year (Spring and Fall). This year, we won't be going until Summer because:
1) DH has to work another shift for someone who will be out on surgery,
2) PrincASS graduates from HS (end of CS!!), and,
3) PrincASS is joining the Army at the end of May.

Yesterday, DH tells me that BioHo thinks we should take PigPen with us on vacation. WHAT.THE.F*CK.

Firstly, I 853% RESENT that 'Ho so much as suggesting a brand of potato chips to try, much less taking her kid on OUR vacation.

I wrote this 2 years ago. Perhaps I should revise it...

The Twelve Days of Skidmas

On the First day of Skidmas,
My skids gave to me:
An F in American His’try.

On the Second day of Skidmas,
My skids gave to me:
Two pissy sheets
And an F in American His’try.

On the Third day of Skidmas,
My skids gave to me:
Three burnt toast
Two pissy sheets
And an F in American His’try.

My darling boy - the best-est, sweetest, most loving, smartest dog in the whole universe - was diagnosed with osteosarcoma in his left, front leg. My world is on the brink of collapsing.

Mr. P is my forever love and my guardian angel and has literally saved my life twice. The first time was when I was going through severe depression and didn't even want to get out of bed. I HAD to so he could be fed and go outside to do his biz and get some play time. And since I was up, I decided to go ahead and get ready for work and go in.

DH just told me he doesn't want to have Christmas this year. Oh, he'll buy presents, but he does not want a mass skid invasion, no decorations, no food. Woo hoo!!!!!!!!!!

I am SO hoping he doesn't change his mind!! }:)
