With Apologies to Joan Jett (and her fans)

Right now she's the sweetest girl you've ever seen
I can't believe Bugaboo is seventeen.
Our list of kids is long.
But she's our favorite one.
And I can tell it won't be long
Till she will leave me, yeah me.
And I can tell it won't be long
Till she will leave me, yeah me, singin'

I'm on birth control.
I'll put another nail in your coffin, Mommy.
I'm out on parole.
Come and waste your time and lecture me.
OW!

She smiles so sweet and flips her golden mane
My room don't matter she says
Cuz its always the same
She said though I'm never home
You can call my phone

And next she's movin' on
Without me, yeah me
Next she's movin' on
Without me, yeah me, singin'

I just smoked a bowl
Got a dime bag in my sock drawer, Mommy
I just sold my soul
So go and waste your time and pray for me.
OW!

I'll say I'm takin' you home
Your care-free days are blown

No more movin' on
Livin' back with me, yeah me
And she won't be movin' on
But singin' a brand new song
Yeah, with me, singin'

I walked a rocky road
Got put in my place real quick by Mommy
A debt to her is owed
Please come and take a chance and rescue me.

Homemade Love

Last year Beeman wanted to make homemade Valentines for his Kindergarten class. I saw these in Family Fun magazine and thought they were very cute. But cuteness comes at a price. It took for-freaking-ever to just do the prep work and cut all the squares and slots and strips and hearts and I was glad I started a week early.

Getting him to sit down and weave them and then write on them was an even bigger chore. He got about halfway through when he decided he wasn't going to write on them anymore, only sign his name. He was very distressed when I didn't agree with his plan.

This year I thought for sure he would want to buy some from the store and was shocked and dismayed when he said he wants to make them again. The same kind. Why didn't I just keep my mouth shut and pick up a box of Transformers valentines? Why, oh why, oh why? So the cutting begins. With 2-year-old help of course.

Gotta Say

I gotta say Matt Leinert I mean Kurt Warner cleans up nice. He got that suit on QUICK after the Superbowl didn't he??? I'm impressed. Me likey.
