This is no big deal really, but it just aggravates the crap out of me today. First of all, I love them all, I really, really do, but being inside with four cabin-fevered kids has worn my patience to the breaking point. I fixed a great lunch. We had all kinds of finger food - bagel bites, taquitos, mini chimis - we pretty much ate ourselves sick. Not one hour after lunch, my daughter comes to me wanting a snack. no, No, NO!!

I'm sorry, but I've got to bitch about this somewhere and this site is my outlet for bitching, so here I go. We got a friggin' DUSTING of snow!!!! Not even 1/2 an inch. People that live in my town are complete idiots when it comes to driving in any kind of weather. Take it slow, take it easy. The roads were indeed slick. It took me 1-1/2 hours to get to work this morning, but I'm here!!! Three girls called in this morning saying they could not make it to work. Okay. If you can't make it in now, how about trying again in another hour or so.

As a consideration for all. If you must make popcorn in microwave, please make sure that it does not burn. This creates a strong and acrid odor which is not easily eliminated since windows do not open to outside. Thanks for your consideration.

I don't know what an acrid odor is but I know it stinks.

If you are 30 or older, you will think this is hilarious!!!!

When I was a kid, adults used to bore me to tears with their tedious diatribes about how hard things were. When they were growing up; what with walking twenty-five miles to school every morning.... Uphill... Barefoot... BOTH ways Yadda, yadda, yadda

And I remember promising myself that when I grew up, there was no way in hell I was going to lay a bunch of crap like that on my kids about how hard I had it and how easy they've got it!
