Dude, it's college, seriously.

SO tomorrow my wayward son starts community college. Of course I am unbelievably grateful for the community college system here in the U.S; it's how I got my B.A, and how a teen with a miserable 2.1 GPA still gets a shot at university, but......'Elementary Japanese' and 'Religion, Magic and Witchcraft'?
I can only assume he's preparing for the Hogwarts Semester Abroad program.

Catwoman.

A fish, a gerbil, a rabbit; those are pets. A cat on the other hand, is more like a felony-you get 15-20 years for those.

Christian Inspiration

Given that this is Sunday, I would like to share a spiritual message texted to me recently;

"U r ruining her" [ my daughter's] "future STABILITY as a WOMAN!!!If u continue in ur ways, may GOD punish u accordingly and curse YOU. Clearly ur the abuser."

It's all fun and games until someone gets plagued by locusts.

Saturday Morning

Why does my garage smell like a cat toilet?
Oh wait, I know why.

The Season of Sharing

It's hard to get in to the holiday spirit after my cat peed on my new bra.

Tristesse

The saddest thing I've ever seen is three children (14,12 and 7), standing together, their hands on a coffin, saying their last goodbye to their mum.

What's it all about?

You know those days when you're being sued for bigamy and fraud, when your mental ex-husband threatens to 'have your head' if you give your daughter the H1N1 vaccine because it's a government mind-control conspiracy, and you're listening to npr on a Power Rangers head transistor radio in your car because your stereo keeps getting ripped off?
Everyone has days like that. But then you find out that the Mum of your daughter's best friend finally lost that battle with cancer and died, leaving behind three young kids and a husband who really loved her, as well as siblings, parents, friends who are all devastated .
Sometimes you have to quit your whining and just get on with it.
