My favorite of all Hyperbole & a Half columns!

Evil Mother :->

When my darling works late I take the opportunity to not cook a full meal from scratch. For example, last night was our church's pig roast fundraiser. I got two meals to go but by the time I finished for the night it was too late to eat them. So I was going to serve them for dinner tonight and make something else for the kids.

Fast forward to tonight. Darling is working til midnight. So instead of eating at 4:30 as usual, I waited until 6 when the kids were good and hungry. Then I made us sit down at the kitchen table and eat an orange before I would give them any other food. Then I sent them away and heated the pig roast dinners. I gave them each a small portion of roast pork with gravy, pineapple bake and carrots. Then I called them back and made them eat that before I would cook anything else. Now that they've finished that I will make what they want - Ramen soup and popcorn chicken. Poor husband would never have had the patience to sit through this method, plus he is hungry when he walks in the door from work. And he would not have been as amused as I was with the look on Ed's face when he ate the pineapple bake!

None the less, the kids found out that they don't HATE roast pork and we didn't have to involve dad in the tasting process.

Giant Fucking Surprise that it annoys me to not decide what we're going to do for the day until 11:50 AM.

here kitty kitty

CRAP CRAP CRAP CRAP CRAP!

I can't find the new cat - Cleo. DAMN DAMN

I was holding her on my lap at 9:30 pm. She was happy and purring, keeping her eye on the other pets. Ed helped her through the cat door to the basement right after that. This morning Dave couldn't find her in the basement - no huge surprise, he's not a very thorough searcher. So I went down there all confident that I'd find her sleeping on the sofa down there. Nope. Called her, searched, nothing! Searched with flashlight under beds and sofas, nothing.

Now it's noon, and I searched again, shaking cat food bag. Nothing

AND I CAN'T EVEN POST ON FACE BOOK BECAUSE MY SIS-IN-LAW IS MY FRIEND AND I DON'T WANT HER TO KNOW I LOST THE CAT ALREADY.

I just had to tell someone.

PS: I haven't even told my darling husband that we have a new cat. What cat? I don't see a cat :(

Yes, I'm STILL pondering LOST

look for post #984

This is a pretty interesting theory on the alt reality.http://forum.lostpedia.com/06x17-end-questions-theories-discussion-t58202p99.html

A New blog

I just started a new blog. I noticed I write a lot about domestic engineering and decided to make a separate blog for those types of posts to spare those friends not interested in that stuff from suffering.

I'd love for you to join me if cooking and organizing is your thing:
