The first thing I do

The first thing I do, or stop doing, when I get my tax return is to stop cooking for a while. It isn't the cooking I dislike so much as it is all the distractions while I am trying to prepare a meal for those ungrateful, I mean my children. I love cooking actually and I pride myself on the fact that I make everything from scratch! The old fashioned way. It is very good. Now that I am not working I make a hot breakfast every day for my kids. My son will eat four pancakes, scrambled eggs and then have a bowl of cereal. Then I make two batches of muffins to take with them and for after school snack. My son is growing like a bad weed. One of his cousins is 6'7" and my son is trying to be as tall as him. At the rate he is growing, he might make it. He asked my the other day, "Is God as big as Bryson?"

I am not as "with it" as I would like to be

In some ways, I am proud of the fact that I am stuck in the 80's. Life was good then. My parents paid the bills and I still got to stay out till midnight. Life really was better then.

what I am really needing here is a person that can guide me into some technological advances that I need to make. Do you know what comes up when you type in a search "cd burner"? You get "we did not find that exact term, but we think this is what you might want", and I got blank cd's for sale.

I need to take music off of Kazaa and put it on cd's that I can play at home or in my car (when I actually do get one for my car) so I can get Kazaa off my computer and hopefully it will run better.

I do not have the first clue of how to pick a cd burner. Do I really need an mp3, too? I am afraid I will get ripped off. I think I really just need a new computer, but I already downloaded all that free music and screwed up this computer. I do not want a new computer until after I get the free music.

See? The eighties were so much better! Just put on an album. Of which, by the way, I still have all of those!

kids say the darndest things

My twins recently turned six. Gone soon are they days when their older sisters and I could spell and have a few secrets or discuss how to manipulate them.

The other day the kids were fighting. One of our rules is no name calling. I tell them, "I did not put the name Stupid on your brothers birth certificate". So the ten year old screams at her brother, "You are so S-T-U-P-I-E-D!"

My dad said once that siblings keep each other in their place, I believe it is true.

The best part of having kids, is you get to read the best books and watch the best movies!! I have the scripts to all the Disney movies memorized! How many people can say that??
