The Wisdom of a 5 yr Old

The other day I came into the kitchen to find yet another mess for me to clean. It had been a long day already and it was only 10:30. As I began cleaning it, I also began to grumble and then I heard Anne give a long sigh and say, "It's all part of having kids, Mom."

#36

I know I'm getting older. I stopped dying my hair more than a year ago and just recently admitted that I have a grey hair. Okay, a few. I dance in the kitchen and I'm a half a beat off, but my bum comes in on the next one. My laziness in not putting lotion on everyday is finally resulting in wrinkly skin in the sunlight. And two age spots have appeared on my face.

But there are good things about turning 36 too- We went out to lunch for my birthday and our skinny, skinny waitress asked if I would like a half or whole order of my salad. I said "half" and asked her if it's still a decent size portion. Her reply was, "Oh yeah, you're gonna need a box for that one."
When my WHOLE order came, I was confused. But Matt informed me that I ordered a whole. (It was my birthday, I was thinking of lots of things, like Holy Bibles and gaping holes of the universe, you know deep stuff.) So I started to eat my WHOLE delicious pecan chicken salad. And it was delicious. Miss "Skinny Skinny" came by and said, "Oh good, that's disappearing rapidly!" I didn't even blink. Even though I knew by this time, I really would finish the WHOLE thing. No box needed. Don't even bother looking. Squeaky clean. And I was right. And I really didn't care. In fact, I was satisfied and proud that Skinny Skinny could see that I ate like a hungry hippo until ALL the marbles were gone. On a scale of 1-10 of self-conscienceness, I gave myself a 1- just because I happened to notice Skinny Skinny was saying all the wrong things to the right customer.

Happy Birthday to me!

Why didn't anyone tell me I had eyebrow hairs growing on my temples??

Want the Skinny?

I have created a new blog called, "Want the Skinny?" www.wanttheskinny.blogspot.com It's "a blog for conservative, busy women, who may not have time to do the research on current events and political/social issues. I'll get the whole low down and then give you the skinny. Disclaimer: All content is pure opinion, mixed with the word on the street and added bias."

Hm. I'm quoting myself. That's kind of cool. I am an "other source" voice to myself. Like I know something or something. What narcissistic pleasure!

Anyway for further explanation of my new blog go to the "Introduction", my first post, to see my reasoning behind creating it. If you want. You don't have to by any means, but I wrote it just to make it clear that I don't know a lot and don't proclaim to be some sort of know it all in all my redundancy. See?

I hope you take a gander and enjoy it. There is more to come, but I happened to have created it at a time when I am taking a vacation from politics, like Bob, (from his problems).
