What I would like to know is WTF happened this morning? I woke up late. We ALL woke up late. I'm rockin' the "no, I didn't wash my hair this morning" look. Ugh. I cannot stand NOT washing my hair. The other half was running late this morning and had to move around cars because he decided to take the OTHER truck to work. The kids -- ohhhh, don't even get me started on the kids.

Tonight after dinner, Malia wanted an orange for dessert. Aidan wanted to skip dessert (gasp!) and decided that he would rather play for a little bit on the Playstation 2 (the kid is addicted...much to my dismay). While Adam was cutting the orange for Malia, Aidan came into the kitchen in a big hurry...he wanted Adam to come watch him play the Spiderman game. Adam finished slicing the orange and, as Adam was wiping his hands off, Aidan says to his father:Put the knife down, Dad...I'm afraid you might cut the cord to the Playstation. … [Read more...]
