I am certifiably no fun. Not fun at all. I do nothing exciting or entertaining. Never have. Ever. I am very very boring... What? K didn't tell you? Well now you know. I suck.Don't get me wrong, my sources (okay source, K) tells me I am an excellent mom, as long as fun is not to be had. Never mind all the fun stuff we have done she wants something fun to do and RIGHT FRICKING NOW... okay, she didn't talk to me in all caps or say fricking, if she had she'd be in her room for an extended time out while I tried to figure out where the innocent child I once had was off to.Why am I suddenly no fun? I have heard in the past (yesterday) that I am the most fun mama ever in the whole wide universe. That was a title I was proud of. Probably came from me not noticing she was walking around with a stir straw in her mouth like a farmer with a piece of hay... she loves her straws. Could be from all the Wii play we did last night (Super Monkey Ball ROCKS!!!) Who knows. But I was fun... once upon a time yesterday... but today... today I suck.I think we will explore the reasons I am no fun... according to my source:Reason #1: I won't give her anymore crackersReason #2: I should play with her instead of getting ready for Nana to arriveReason #3: I made her get dressed (she has a point there, I enjoy my pj's too)Reason #4: I won't let her go to school today (she has no school on Mondays)Reason #5: I don't have the time to throw her stuffed cat a birthday party and she just CAN'T do it herselfReason #6: I still won't give her crackersReason #7: After she made 10 cards I didn't get out any more paper because I said it was time for lunchReason #8: I wouldn't make casserole for lunchReason #9: I made her brush her hairReason #10: She hasn't had crackers for "like a year or something, why don't you ever let me have crackers pleassssssssssseee the whole day I have wanted them everyday, you don't want me to have crackers anymore, okay I won't I am never having crackers again"My child has an unreasonably difficult life.PS: she had crackers this morning.

the invites...

Yesterday my mother showed up at my door with 13 handcrafted birthday invitations in one hand and 1.75 liters of vodka in the other. The two are mostly unrelated. The invites are made from paper and glitter. Stamp and ink. She didn't write in them, but provided

there is not a raccoon in my kitchen...

As I sit quietly in my living room working I tend to listen to the sounds of home. The slight buzz and hum of my heater, the birds chirping and chattering from my high windows, the rush of cars on the street outside, and the constant chirps, pings, and trills

you put your hair in the coconut...

I remember putting some crazy things in my hair as a kid. Lemon juice, kool-aid, mayonnaise, avocado, tea, and that scalding hot oil treatment. With that last one I might as well been torturing myself with tar and feathers. Then there was the one summer I strived to find the
