Biggest Disappointment: Seeing the bottom of a pint container that held ice cream and realizing I ate the whole thing ... and then sadly coming to terms with the fact I'm not bulemic nor can I ever be.
Happiest Moment: The day the boys learned to say: "I love you"
Saddest Moment: Saying goodbye to my daughter before I could ever hear her laugh or feel her take her first breath
Most Memorable Victory: Filing for a divorce (first husband, the current one gets to be buried....)
Most Memorable Defeat: The day my son finally outwitted me ... seven years ahead of schedule.
Biggest Fear: That my kids will remember when I screwed up and was "human"
Number One Pet Peeve: (Tie) College drivers and the college kids two houses down that don't seem to get this isn't the part of town to be partying, especially on Thursday nights.
Stupidest Thing Heard: Firefighters that use plurals when none are to be had (we're going to threes; gotta run these over to ones)
Smart Stuff: Failing to Plan is Planning to Fail
"Sure, you can get anything you want... after I get a million dollars."
"Okay, little dudes, let's get moving."
"The most important thing you boys need to learn is that no means no and no you may not buy a ...."
You wouldn't catch me dead saying:
"The back door is wide open, honey, come on in"
"Sure your kids can stay over until you get back next week"
"Honey, let's go take the Harley out for a spin"
"Next year, boys, I'm homeschooling"
Most Admired: Fellow losers (refer to links in the navigation section), my Aunt J. who has been able to see things for what they really are and not back away from the glaring truths, my girlfriend, D. who has gone back to school and has gone from a computer know-nothing to a genuine grade-A geek
Least Revered: Unfortunately, my mother who is incapable of using her intelligence or having the backbone to stand up to the injustices we have faced, my brother and sis-in-law who gripe about the injustices but still put on their poker faces and just *deal* (or would that be de-ni-al?), my sister who was slowly progressing and made my most admired list until she met up with a loser whom we all suspect is also her "supplier"
