Day 475 of the headache...

Now I'm getting sentimental for the days (yesterday) when I said this bitch was gone.  She ain't.
I can also tell I'm pushing crazy because I just typed 'ain't' without referring to something my precocious child said... and by precocious (pre-ko-shus) I mean heavily influenced by morons.
It came back in a very big hurry last night and I am sorry to report that it stayed the night.  Bitch.
Just like a naked woman in the sauna, I tell you. . .

I pumped the excedrin primer and took the 3 out to the bank and target to feed the bills and to paper the people (bounty, wipes and t.p., baby) who live here. I survived Target, but just barely.  They have put toys at the end of EVERY SINGLE AISLE.  and i am not kidding, and I am not pleased. not pleased. WE are going to have to have some serious de-tox in this house to get us all through this season, material-wise.  I love the lights, the decorations, the food, but I just don't want all that shit in my house, and I don't want the pressure that I feel to buy it so my kids will be happy.  I feel that pressure, do you?  It is an ugly feeling, especially if you don't want to spend the money you have so carefully saved and scrimped for... on a plastic mickey that dances.  know what i'm saying?

In the past months, I have simplified, we are without cable, there are no toys in the boys' room at all,( not that they will EVER sleep there again or anything),   I got rid of 50% of the animals and cars. holy moly. not a single kid has said ANYTHING. unbelievable.  but i have a birthday (almost 3) coming up and then the christian motherlode. . . I can already feel the chaos.  I've started hoarding again, spaghetti sauce and squashes... go figure... I guess I'll feed the hell out of the neediest children ....

talk to me, i need more to write about and quickly...

this is responding only to the last of your post;
Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children." --Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953
