Louisiana? Do I type with a southern accent?

ETA: and Dew's butt is probably looking better than mine. Thanks to CD and wine (a great combination), my butt now looks more like (______ l_______)

Were we on Twitter my butt would be a trending topic.

Hmmm... Maybe my butt should get its own FaceBook page.

I am a horrible mother. I decided to let DD spend the night at a friend's house tonight. What was I thinking letting my 6 year old sleep more than 1 room away from me?

Oh. Did I forget to mention that she is directly scross the street and I have seen her more tonight than if she is actually staying at home?

She keeps checking up on me to make sure I am ok.

I don't understand Twitter. I understand Facebook. That is my other tab that I am constantly switching to (damn Frontierville), but I just don't get Twitter.

I have a 5 and 7 year old (almost 8) and we haven't done a sleep over yet. However, I am able to recognize that not all kids are like mine, and not all neighbors are like yours. Therefor I will not use this one incident to determine if you are a fit parent.

Wait a minute. How can you call yourself a parent? A true parent thinks that all kids are exactly like theirs and cannot possibly see someone else's POV. Humpf. An you call yourself a parent.

It was strange, but because they are drectly across the street, they were back and forth to my house all night anyway. She didn't even take clothes for tomorrow. She got ready for bed here. She went over there in her nightgown and will come back over in the morning for breakfast in her nightgown. I love my neighborhood.

Now that she is tucked in, I am gonna watch a little uninterrupted TV and then head off to bed. HAGN all.

Morning everyone!

I missed out again last night! You guys were busy.

The graduation party was a bit of a bummer - had to come home to eat. By the time we go there, not much left and we didn't get there late.

Our Mr. Coffee motor broke. Thankfully, we have a really god-awful generic brand backup that drips coffee on the counter when you pour a cup from the carafe, so we were able to have our morning coffee before I had to run out and buy a new Mr. Coffee. Also thankfully, I found the "non-programmable" version of the one we had, for only $17.98. We never used the programming part anyway so we saved 20 bucks (the programmable one was $38.98).

Also, I finally got tired of my desk chair creaking with each milimeter of movement, and the seat cushion was so old it was no longer cushiony so my butt was perched on the rigid platform beneath what used to be the cushion. Tres uncomfortable.

As a random final thought in this post:

Kanata: je me sauviens, dood. If you really want people to not know it's you, then stop using the french apostrophe.

The french apostrophe has always annoyed me. Since I've seen many people use it on the internet for years, you can't truly use that alone as an identifier.

Morning everyone.

DH and DS went to look at cars. I passed. I should NOT have had that third hot dog last night.
