Remember the days when the flight attendants were all nice and smiley? Flying the friendly skies? The ones on United forgot their happy pills apparently. Snippy, (not smiley )and not that I'm Giselle or anything but... a bit hefty to fit through the small aisles of coach. And the parents with the crying kids? No worries. I got your back. Ignore the idiot in 2 rows in front of you looking back and giving you the evil eye because you're not shutting up your kid. Been there. Like shutting them up is that easy on the ground let alone 20,000 feet in the air. And speaking of the guy giving the evil eye, my kid just put down his tray and then put it up again. That's what you do when you need to use the pull down tray. Sorry it got in the way of you listening to your music. And to the man behind me, is it necessary to lean onto my seat where my head is EVERY time you get up and down? You really need that much support to get out of your seat?

It's real. Winter is upon us. I know this because my kid was able to create a snowman in our backyard.

I dont get how people love having their faces licked by their dogs. I could watch Law and Order pretty much all day long and yet am still amazed when I find an episode I've...

I wish I had more patience When I lose my cool with my kids because they're losing their cool- I have to stop for a minute and think..okay, clearly hereditary crap is going on here! We are easily frustrated, quick tempered and an impulsive group. I'm not proud of passing this on to my kids. Although oldest's short 10 years of life has taught me not to sweat the small stuff (and I really dont. Dirty pants, holes in the jeans, drank a soda for lunch, ate two desserts..I'm not too crazy) but I still find myself blowing up over things. So I wish I had more patience. And the ability to think before I scream And I wish I didn't pass on that great quality to my youngest. I wish I had impulse control and could stay away from licking the bowl of raw cookie dough (did I say licking? I meanth, inhaling by the spoonful) I wish I could sing And dance well I wish I could make a living on writing or baking I wish I could stop drinking diet coke I wish I could stay ...
