Beginning to suspect that I may have a bit too much time on my hands.
I actually spent time this morning debating whether shaving makes me look ten years younger or whether not shaving makes me look ten years older.

I am so sorry that they found him dead, but I am glad that his remains were found. I am sure his family expected this outcome, not that they gave up hope. At least they have closure.
Wait, Road Association Treasurer. Youâre telling us, the 12 other homeowners on the road, that if we want to pay our annual dues in installments we have to make the deposits ourselves and give you the deposit slips?? And you use a bank that doesnât even have a local branch? Thatâs nuts. Iâm the treasurer of a road organization with 42 lots and itâs my responsibility to make deposits of checks that dribble in all year. Hereâs what I will do. Write out a check each month as Iâve been doing and get to the bank when I feel like it.
Then on top of that, you let your young dog run loose, which is a violation of state law. Today she got our puppy so excited that he ran through the invisible fence to play with her. Grr. Iâm glad my daughter saw what happened and managed to call our dog back.

I never gave much credence to conspiracy theories until I read multiple articles claiming that puppies sleep 18 to 20 hours a day.

Your kids are feral and without boundaries. They donât wear masks, shoes, helmets, or clothes. Your nine year old daughter pees in the alley, your dog poops on our yard, and your mother screams through our windows. Riding a skateboard down a street with heavy traffic should not be encouraged. You canât even abide by the trash rules. All of the kids were disruptive in public school and THAT is why they got kicked out of the illegal religious school you moved them to so they didnât have to comply with the law.
And no, I wonât âethicallyâ share your parking and towing bill after you parked egregiously in front of our house.
Personal responsibility. Figure it out.

Apparently a pup tent is now a required item for your freshman student heading to Auburn.
Donât doubt yourself.
You are smart and kind.
You will do well.
Trust yourself.
Have faith that you have been well-prepared.
Now go out there and be yourself!
We are proud of you and always, always, will be.

I pine for the days when universities were havens for civil debate, free expression and open inquiry.

New puppy.
I donât know.
Maybe itâs me.
Maybe I am not setting a good example by using indoor facilities.

Remember when you told me you wrote your daughterâs essays and then she got an ED into an extremely elite school? I thought to myself Karma is a â â â â â . Whelp, it certainly is. Now you find yourself in a position if not wanting to crush your kidâs dreams because you have no idea how to pay for this. The prestige doesnât seem so shiny anymore does it.
Some people can only drive in one lane.

Now that most of his acceptances are in â how does a parent compete against the lure of a girlfriendâs college that is OOS and costs much more than several excellent in-state options?
By spitballing the idea of purchasing a new cello since the in-state options are so much cheaper.

MIL, I am glad that you are super busy playing bridge every day. You definitely need the companionship & mental stimulation. But I truly hope you arenât telling your friends that your kids never call. They have both been trying to reach you, to say hi as they typically do. Your phone is either off the hook or unplugged, and i donât think you ever even turn your cellphone on. Maybe you could actually call your children once in awhile?

One kid landed a job he wanted. Another signed a contract for a property he wanted.
What a wonderful day of news sharing! Super good news twice in one day is rare and makes a mama feel really good! (Now the part I donât want to say) Itâs cherished because the way my body felt yesterday, I donât know that my news Iâll get to share after testing in latter March will be in the âgoodâ range.
Seize the day.

Stupid dog. Will you behave at the next doggie introduction so we can adopt a sibling for you?

My question was simple: how old are you? Your son was on the verge of tears as he refused to answer. As soon as we were alone your daughter told me the truth.
You told your son to lie about his age and told your daughter to lie about her brotherâs age. Great parenting. Iâd say that I hope it comes back on you that youâve taught them to lie, but I wouldnât wish ill for the kids.
Is it because the price goes down for older kids? Oh how I wish I could prosecute you for theft of services, but thatâs not my job.
There is a reason you got rejected from all 13 sorority houses at your university. Yep - it was me. Bullying isnât cool and it doesnât help your social status.

Huh, snowmobiling on ungroomed trails in the wilderness is a little more harrowing than on the groomed trails Iâve done in the past. It may take me a couple of rum and Cokes to recover.
Note to self: In the future, donât put off insuring snowmobiles. We were very fortunate that our sled was OK after we ran into the tree today.
After that incident, I suggested that DH ride by himself and go exploring with our experienced friend. I stayed back at the friendâs cabin and drank beer with his wife.

Our new member of the family is a recycling genius.
Apparently, at no cost, anything can be recycled into a chew toyâat least according to the actions of our new black lab puppy.
