I told Steve I’ve had this post in my head for a few days now. I wasn’t sure exactly how it was all going to go, I just knew that title was going to be a line involved.
I was poking around online, and I found myself reading a forum on women being submissive to their husbands as a biblical lifestyle choice.
Ahem. Michelle, I’ll wait while you pick yourself up from the floor. I wasn’t there for any personal interest, you twit. It was like an internet train wreck, I couldn’t help myself. Kinda like those videos of Sarah Palin giving an interview while turkeys get their heads cut off behind her. Now that I think about it, there might be a few more people on the floor with you. I’ll wait while you all get up.
*whistles*
Ok, so I was there reading what the idiots had to say. There was a thread about domestic abuse, and whether being submissive included putting up with it, or something like that. One helpful person said that if a wife had enough faith a Band Of Heavenly Angels™ would fly down from Heaven and stop the fist about to hit her.
Now enter the are you FUCKING kidding me line. :) I spent a good five minutes with no coherent words coming out of my mouth. Just sputters at the thought that someone actually believes that shit. I mean, REALLY? Teh stupidz, someone haz dem. Teaching that to a child should be considered abuse.

Ok, a cute monster. Mom got Gavin the Fisher-Price Kid Tough Camera for christmas. He’s been running around like a crazed thing taking pictures of everything. He fills it up, hands it over for us to “empty”, then runs off again. In typical child fashion we’ve gotten lots of pictures of his feet, the ceiling, the tv, etc. He loves to take LOTS of pictures of the same thing. At least it’s digital. :) He’s over on Flickr now as Gavin’s Camera.
One christmas when I was little, I got a Fisher Price tape recorder. I remember recording everyone that day, no doubt being a bit annoying. :) I would love to have that recorder now to hear my grandmother playing the piano and singing. Terrible audio, but it was MY terrible audio.

I have a lot of laundry to do. I have it all separated out into piles in the hallway, waiting to go outside (BRRR!) to the washer. Waiting, because it’s 26° F outside.
Gavin has been a bundle of energy this morning. I tried to sleep in since I drove to Tupelo and back yesterday for us to see my parents. Gav, OTOH, has been running, yelling, dancing, pretending to be a dog, driving his cars around and tormenting the dog and the cat. I was taking a break for a moment, checking my email and seeing what was going on on Ravelry. Gav walks in to what he calls The Desk Room.
“Mommy, I made a sand castle! Come see!”
“Ok sweetie, just a sec.”
“No! Come see!”
All my separated laundry is now in one big pile in the hallway, “tending” (pretending) to be a sand castle.
I’ll be the one trying to keep my laughter from becoming that hysterical stuff you hear in loony bins. ;)

Air vents are dark places where dolls can hide.

A friend of mine had to put one of his cats down this morning. The vet had tried treatments, but nothing was helping. The cat went peacefully, being held by the one who loved him best.
Lucky for him he was a cat and not human.

It’s my birthday, it’s my birthday. Shaking my booty like it’s my birthday.
Hey, I’m allowed to have some silliness on my birthday, aren’t I? Just found out an old friend of mine from Orlando has adopted a baby, I’ve had a chance to sit and relax and knit by myself today, and it looks like it might snow. Let the happiness commence.

While coming home from daycare tonight, and discussing they had hot dogs for lunch:
“I don’t like hot dog dogs. I only like warm hot dogs.”
