Dear Sunday the dog,

You are very, very stupid. Sometimes I loathe you. Sure, you have those endearing dark brown eyes that exude innocence but I'm not fooled. The big hairy boy may be, but I am not. You are stupid but diabolical.

We felt sorry for you being in a dog run so we fenced in the backyard. Because you are so stupid, I will use small words so you can understand. This means we spent a lot of money on you. I wanted granite counter tops. That means really cool rocks in my kitchen. I got a fence because I thought you were a good dog.

You found a hole and ran away. Stupid dog. We fixed the hole. You have then spent the past summer digging holes under the fence and running away. We have then put pavers around the fence so you can not escape. You then dug up a sprinkler pipe, and a hole under the pavers but couldn't get out. Then you dug up my carrots. That's when I knew you were diabolical. Because of you, I said bad words. I said them out loud and my neighbors heard me. This is not good.

Too Sick to be Sick

I am sick.  Really and truly sick.  I even took a sick day and felt no guilt whatsoever that maybe I wasn't sick enough to have a "sick day."  Because I am.  My 5 year old was sick, too so I took him to the doctor.  I refuse to acknowledge that I'm sick because I don't get sick.  So with absolute glee, my little boy climbed up onto the table, stuck out his tongue and conversed with the doctor.  I heard something about cloudy ears and antibiotics and then I just turned it off. It hurts when sound reaches my eardrums. We drove back home, I turned on the television, brought in the dog, and let the babysitting begin.  I crawled back into bed and swam somewhere between consciousness and unconsciousness.  The kids came home from school.  I might have acknowledged them.  I made chicken noodle soup from scratch.  I couldn't even think.  My husband caught me in a sway and asked what he could do.  I grunted some terse instructi...

I Hate Pants

I wrote this on my Facebook page: Makayla just wandered upstairs and found me reading on the sofa, pants discarded, as usual. She laughed at me. I laughed at her. Then I realized that Makayla Jensen is not my daughter. Go home, Makayla! I'm not putting my pants back on just because you are here!  There are now two camps. People who agree with me and people who have absolutely no idea why anybody would discard pants upon entering home. Fortunately, I've found that I'm not in a camp all by myself. I found an article of 10 Reasons Why I Hate Pants: Best summed up by this Venn Diagram sent by Scott's cousin:
