The black and short of it

Matt wanted his hair dyed black. I wanted it shorter and neater. We struck up a deal.

It is beginning to look a lot like Christmas?

Well not yet, but I am hopeful. Laid down the law for the kiddos.
1. House must be cleaned including bedrooms before decorating can begin.
2. No Christmas shopping will be done before house is decorated.

If rooms are not cleaned before Saturday, I will clean without mercy Saturday so tree and other Christmas crapola can be dragged down from attic.

So what are they doing? Watching a rerun of the suite life of zack and cody.

Anyone want to make a bet on the date the house is actually decorated and shopping can commence? I take 12/24.

Kristen-her geniousness and then again not so much

Kristen tried out for Honor band a few months ago. She found out yesterday that she made it! Go, girl! What this means is that she will be playing in a concert with other middle school students from around the district. The concert is 1/30, the same week that she registers for high school.

Now for the not so geniousness moment. I got up at 5am to bake a cake since I have been assigned snack duty at work for today. I made a spice cake and went to get the cream cheese frosting that I knew was in the pantry. I opened it only to find it had been sampled and replaced in the pantry. I smell a sugar thief. I confronted public sugar enemy #1 who did not deny it. Her response"I was hungry and it was the only thing here to eat". Sure, the only thing edible in the pantry was this lonely container of icing.

This is going to be a vent

If you do not want to listen to me complain, do not read any further. It is cathartic for me so I am going to do it anyway.

Matt-He infuriates me at every turn. Yesterday he and Randy got into a huge fight because apparently Matt feels as though the world should stop and everyone feel sorry for him when he has a bad day at work. His supervisor told me he was not doing a good enough job cleaning(Who could not see THAT coming??). Well I agreed with Randy; Matt was extremely disrepectful towards both of us, but was especially mad at me because I took Randy's side. Well, Randy was right! So, now I have to choose between my husband and my son? Matt says he can not wait to move out. Whatever. His friend Scott is going to declare himself an emancipated minor in 3 months. Matt wants to do the same. Sorry, Buddy. Not getting along with your parents does not meet the criteria. Matt is even more upset with me because I told him he should not try out for a part in the next round of 1 act plays. He does not have a predictable work schedule and he does not have time to get all his homework done based on his grades. He is extremely self-centered and makes me cry.

Kristen-a princess through and through. She was annoyed that she had to spend two hours at the hair place yesterday. She was obnoxious to the point of embarrassing.
Hopefully today will be better. Matt is at work. Kristen seems in a less princessy mood.

Randy is a whole 'nother story.

Wath'up

Yo dogs!
Sabrina comin' atch ya with a post of my own. If I'm talking funny, its their fault. Mom left a totebag with the delectable smell of sweet and salty nut bars wafting out of it. Matt was working at the alley, the three of them went out to dinner. I could not resist that delicious smell. I had me some tasty sensations. I ate 3 sweet and salty bars and then what treasure did i find? Those delicate little morsels individual wrapped. Honey lemon Halls it said. I ate about 6 of those, topped off with about 6 wild cherry ludens. I found some comtrex, advil sinus and lactaid pills but decided to path. My tongue feelth weird. I hope they get home thoon tho I can have thom water. It was tho worth it.
