She has a few "friends" who only hang out with her when they don't have anything else going on. I once watched her sit down next to two of these girls and they immediately stood up and went to sit down somewhere else. I've never had such a strong urge to slap someone as i did with that 13 year old!Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05462900500920016433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24756113.post-44370315719697230542007-12-16T18:01:00.000-06:002007-12-16T18:01:00.000-06:00oh my god...this is seriously funny! why are ther...oh my god...this is seriously funny! why are there so many weird children at your playground??<BR/><BR/>sometimes i still can't believe I'M THE MOM and i need to keep my cool. those kids are lucky you didn't give it to them!<BR/><BR/>too funny. and i love the family santa photo. you look great!charmedgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12317107200577724625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24756113.post-24799816525306462442007-12-16T15:21:00.000-06:002007-12-16T15:21:00.000-06:00Maybe the carpet cleaners will move?

They frequently park their semis in front of their house. Imagine my glee when I saw the sale sign go up last week! Our property values will skyrocket!

You exercised a lot of self-control. I don't think I would have left until I made that kid cry. Because I'm mature and think that bullies deserve to be bullied.

I'll be getting out of the house most evenings next week--after full days of caring for the boys while still recovering from hernia surgery, I'll need the time away to detox. Pick any night and you and me will step out together. Nothing crazy, just a cup of hot cocoa up the street and a chance to kick back without any screaming, illegal dumping, or rock-throwing. Unless we're in the mood to do it ourselves. Let me know.<BR/><BR/>-DebAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24756113.post-77701808799058902642007-12-15T09:30:00.000-06:002007-12-15T09:30:00.000-06:00Your stories made me WEEP WITH JOY.Your stories made me WEEP WITH JOY.Swistlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13126937282657655091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24756113.post-54707237537126075372007-12-15T09:09:00.000-06:002007-12-15T09:09:00.000-06:00Jen- I know this will be hard to believe, but MY n...Jen- I know this will be hard to believe, but MY neighbor is operating a carpet cleaning business down MY street too! Only he dumps his in his septic, because we don't have sewer or storm drains. Since all the homes on our street are on 1/2 acres or acres, it seems we are the ONLY people NOT operating a business out of our home, although I have been accused of operating a daycare without a license. We have the "welder" two doors behind us. Then we have the "landscaping" business across the street. Directly behind us, the guy runs a music studio. Then we have the "drywall" owner guy who I also call Chicken Man because he has the chickens. Keep in mind, we live 10 minutes from the Strip right smack in the middle of Vegas. It's not like were out in the boonies! So, yeah, I LIVE in a strip mall! But when I start selling insurance out of the house, I guess no one will be able to complain!<BR/><BR/>You should have karate chopped that little brat!

I don't think nice policemen like little 10 year old punks! I also probably would have given him an earful of not so nice words! <BR/><BR/>On a side note - I am so enjoying reading your blog and stories! I find myself checking in regularly to see what you are all up to! I especially love when your Mom chimes in - she always has such calm advice - years of experience under her belt!

You are so totally the next Erin Brokovich...without the trashy clothes, of course.<BR/><BR/>I have to agree with you - there is something completely and utterly maddening about big kids at the playground. I find myself wanting to shake them and scream "what is the matter with you?!"...until about .2 seconds goes by and I realize that doing such a thing would NOT be setting a very good example.
