Yes, I’m talking about summertime and kids arguing – oh joy! And for those idiots, like myself, who stay home with the rugmonsters and always have a house full of kids, extra joy! Oh ya, I also have one of the few pools on the block – so my kids are very popular in the …
It can’t be – no really – this has to be a joke. Wednesday CAN NOT possibly be the last day of school this year! Bad enough that I had to suffer sit through every freaking right of passage, award ceremony and class party for the past 2 weeks – now for the grand finale …
* 6 1/2 days of school left – YIKES!!! * Captain Papillion will be a guest on my radio show this week. Please let the kids listen (now to tell my kids they can’t go to the studio)!!! Saturday on AM 690 WIST from 3:00-4:00. The second half of the show, I will have Stephanie …
*** The House of Blues: I chaperoned a bunch of 6th graders to the House of Blues for a field trip. I was more excited than most of them because this was my first time there &… WOW! $12 for my kid (including bus cost) and $5 for me – this was soooo worth every …
I chaperoned my son’s 4th grade class to Honey Island Swamp for the day. Yepper, my first time in a the Louisiana Swamplands! What a great time and education for me, I mean the kids. You see, ain’t no swamps up there in MA where I grew up. This is all brand spanking new to …
* My favorite signs in Mandeville * I got an e-mail from a concerned reader who wrote that: the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality is planning on closing their Mandeville office which is the only one in the parish. Once they leave, it will be a burden on us all to get them back here …
“Opportunity makes a thief.” ~Francis Bacon~ “If you ever have to steal money from your kid, and later on he discovers it’s gone, I think a good thing to do is to blame it on Santa Claus†~Jack Handy~ Disturbed was an understatement for how I felt when I read yesterday that the “Toys for …
Let’s talk shoe stores. If you are a woman, you love them – when you are ALONE. If you are a woman taking kids or a man shopping…it is equivalent to HELL! I have decided that shoe shopping with children is the single most miserable thing in the world! They should hand out freaking valium …
* If you haven’t got into the whole LOLcats & I can has cheezburger craze – time to branch out. My kids love it (me too-guilty). * My friend Beth linked to the Barney Cam for White House cuteness overload. *Go play Simon Sez Santa with your co-workers today. Make Santa, kill Rudolph, pick nose, …
Snoopy Dance Louisiana!!! I wasted 2 more hours of my precious life (6 total) today and it finally paid off. My insanity for the quest of the freaking Holy Grail Wii, was validated by the droves of other idiots in search of it as well. I was considering printing out a shirt that said “Got …
***Good morning Louisiana! Did you change your clocks??? ***Thanks for reading today and don’t forget to read any posts you have missed over the past week. Tons of humor and misc. crud! ***Please vote for me today as I am a finalist in the Weblog Awards. Voting ends Nov 8th! ***51 days until Christmas – …
Saturday morning, yours truly, hubby and at least 1 or 2 of the 3 kids will head to Metairie, the PBS&J building to be exact (hubby works for them), to get down and dirty. Get your mind out of the gutter – we are going to participate in the Lake PontchatrainBeach Sweep. Besides doing something …
****Last Friday, during my field trip, we stopped at Cafe’ Degas for lunch. The 4 of us ordered a cheese and fruit plate and we each had either a salad or French Onion soup. I was drooling over the ice box pie at the next table….next time. This is a must go to place for …
Well…. at least I’m fessing up to it. Nah – can’t lie – no good at it (would make a lousy politician). Anyhoo, I know you have all been on the edge of your seats waiting for the results of the survey I posted about on Wednesday. I know I told you that I would …
I am disgusted with Ramon the pool boy and my maid lately. Maybe they have found better opportunities (& if you don’t know that they are figments of my imagination- welcome new reader). As a matter of fact, last week I heard a statistic about the unemployment rate in St. Tammany Parish. It is at …
