was i wrong to decide to have an only child?

Milo: mom? Goddess: huh? Milo: i got a question for you. Goddess: (mutters under her breath) i guess i can't say no. yeah go ahead Milo: if you had the choice, would you be a vampire or a werewolf? Goddess: i guess i would pick the werewolf Milo: (walks away dejected. only had a philosophical rant to share if i had answered to the former) Milo: (pokes head back in doorway) that's okay, because you don't have to die. vampires have to be dead for like a whole day. Goddess: (smiles) god i wish this kid had siblings. Goddess

Why listen to me? I'm just your mother.....

I sat and watched him all night, eating like a puppy who has just discovered a new food. I can't count how many times I gave him "the look". He kept on putting the food in his mouth. When the food is good, sometimes it is hard to stop. Ice cream, cookies, cake , pie He reminded me of the kid from that Charlie and the chocolate factory, you know the one who got stuck in the Chocolate River tube because he was so fat? yeah. that kid was MY kid on Christmas. He rolled around on the floor like a drunken midget and finally found his way to bed (he camped with me because i knew what was coming but decided that i didn't want a repeat of the Jimi Hendrix episode) So he blew chunks around 1am. all i have to say is yuck, yuck, yuck and double yuck.*sigh* His uncle and i did some direction to help him clean up. i had to stay clear of the bathroom for at least 15 minutes because of the smell. *sigh* I have found that you can only nag so much then you just have to wait and see and hope that they learn. Let's just pray he did... Goddess

The Cold's Prayer*

*recited in a rhythm close to "The Lord's Prayer" Our head cold, who art in sinus, how did you get so bold? Thy dripping nose thy ice cold toes Theraflu and Nyquil's in the closet. Give us this sneeze our daily dread and forgive us our coughing as we forgive those who have coughed against us And lead us not into the ER but deliver us from dry tissue noses for thine is the hot tea, the vitamin C, the Zicam Now and forever. Amen.

Christmas sometimes depresses the fuck out of Goddess!!!

I know I have to put most off this shit in the proper light, but MAN! What I wouldn't give to enjoy a pleasant surprise every once in a while. Christmas has always been one of those holidays when I so look forward to that special day of food, family, fun, and surprises. I am a giver and i truly look forward to those special occasion when i am actually given something. well..... Perhaps my heart is broken and it was my own son who faced the responsibility of handing out broken hearts today. He has been working himself into a frothy mess trying to get his ass to BIG LOTS without me to buy a couple of items of interest. I was excited as most children are thinking i was going to get a cute little something my son really wanted to give me to show me how much he loved me and was into the christmas spirit. he came back with a hand-buzzer and a tube of green and orange Goop! not his fault. i have to lower my expectations of being treated in a special way the way i WANT to be treated. Goddess knows she set herself up for that but you know what i always say......it is a pain in the ass to suffer from an incurable case of HOPE. *claps hands* "that's it kids! Pity party is over. nothin' to see here!" Goddess.
