Conversation between me and my son

I could not find any socks this morning and my feet were cold, so I though, "Hmm, ratchild and I wear almost the same size. I'll borrow a pair of his."

Ratchild: Mom, are those my socks on your feet?
Ratmom: Yep.
Ratchild: Why are you wearing my socks?
Ratmom: Because I need socks.
Ratchild: But they are MINE!
Ratmom: Who bought them?
Ratchild: You.
Ratmom: Doesn't that make them mine too?
Ratchild: No!

Gotta love 11 year old logic.

First Post In Forever

Okay, I have given up on Project 365. It was nice while it lasted, and I may try again, but circumstances have conspired against me and I am so far behind I will never catch up.

For some reason, the school decided that my severely ADHD child needed to be in advanced math and science this year. Uh, hello? It is not that he is not intelligent enought to do the work, it's just...wow, butterfly...and kitty...oooh, shiny. So this puts extra stress on the homework wrangler (i.e., me). So now I have to come home from work, cook dinner, wash clothes, clean, and oversee more homework that I have ever seen in my life! No, I am not smarter than a 5th grader. Can you say mom needs a happy pill? Please?

I am going to at least try to get back into blogging. Who knows, I may actually have some interesting stuff coming up soon. Munchkin child and I are supposed to go camping with Cub Scouts soon. The first time I have been camping in, oh, 25 years? Tent? Sleeping Bag? I can't bring my parents' RV?

Happy Friday!
