Spring

Spring has come early to my office.

Inauguration

I believe Tony said it best.

Crap 101

The Princess is looking for her gloves and snow boots. She comes into the kitchen where her father and I are finishing lunch:

Princess: Mom, I can't find my gloves. You need to find them.

Mom: No, I don't. This is your problem, not mine.

Princess: But Mom...

Mom: You are a bright young lady. I'm sure you can solve this problem on your own. Look at your report card. You just received all As!

Didn't they have a find-your-crap* class?

Princess: Yeah and I got an F!

And I wonder why my kids are so sarcastic. If my husband decides to home school the kids, he's going to have a Crap 101 class to teach the kids how to organize, maintain and find their crap.


*We use this term to describe the sundry toys, clothes, papers and other stuff that kids seem to accumulate in large amounts.

1 inch in 4 months

Or, why my son eats ALL the time!

Lipstick on a pig

Mom: Here buddy, you'll like this.
Hotrod: What is it?
Mom: Try it, you'll like it.
Hotrod: It looks like a pretzel.
Mom: It is, but it has a candy coating.
Hotrod: I don't like pretzels.
Mom: See the red and green stripes? Like a candy cane. It tastes just like candy.Try it.
Hotrod: But it's a pretzel. Yuck, it's a pretzel.

I guess it doesn't matter how you dress up the pretzel, it's still a pretzel to a 4 yearold.

It's official

It happened. I didn't think it really would, but it did. I was offered partnership at the firm and I accepted. First female partner here. Youngest by about 15 years. Am I up for the challenge? We'll see.

Congratulations to President-Elect Barack Obama. May the Lord grant you wisdom, protection and courage in everything you do.
