I am such the perfect mother!

This kid at work said something really funny today. We were talking about his older sister, who I happen to know because I used to work with HER at another place. He said "Yeah, she's really weird. When she was in high school she hung out with a group of friends that were completely anti-social with everybody else. They were the kind of kids that thought that running through the halls and screaming maniacaly was really cool."

Ah work... I bitch about it all the time here, and I had a busy, tiring, and stressfull day and felt like tearing my hair out at times until I realized that it wasn't worth it to feel that way over a job that pays 6.25 an hour. And then I relaxed and the day went by much more smoothly.

So now I am home, nursing a warm beer, and hoping that the Hamburger Helper I have on the stove will turn out edible. It calls for one and a third cups of milk, and I only had half that much milk left. It looks awfully thin and watery as it simmers. But I am so broke right now that's all I had to fix tonight. Oh, we aren't starving or out of food, that's just the only meat I had thawed and can't go to the store again until payday! Otherwise I would have went and bought some more milk...

I can only think of one other thing I should write about. Yes, it was my turn to be the complete drunken asshole last week. I feel absolutely horrible that I said all the things I did to him. I had somehow convinced myself that he didn't "want" me anymore and then berated him for it. It was the combination of cheap Aldi red wine and PMS and I wish I could take it all back. But I think we will survive and are getting along good now. And I realize that I was COMPLETELY out of my FUCKING MIND.

Best Album I Heard This Week: Get Behind Me Satan by The White Stripes. I love this record. My favorite song is The Nurse.

Best Movie I Saw This Week: We watched The Ladykillers again for like the fourth time, and I will never get tired of it. Ever. I watched the Howlin' Wolf Story. And then downloaded Smoke Stack Lightning.

Hot Topic of The Day: Well, since I last wrote, Michael Jackson was aquitted. Just like I thought he would be, and just like he shouldn't have been. I know that family was pimping out their child to him and they should be ashamed. Also I was thinking about this today as I was putting up cases of Ice Mountain spring Water: Mary-Kate Olson. Millions of little girls everywhere idolize her. Little girls who are way too young to be envisioning their heroine having to be carried out to the car after partying backstage with Oasis. I could actually envision MYSELF doing this, but not that sweet faced little scamp who's clothes I can buy for my 9 year old at Wal-Mart. And the hints and allegations of eating disorders and cocaine use. I know. It's not unusual for girls her age to be dabbling in self-destruction, but I hope the impact of all this on her young impressionible fans is not too severe and somebody bitch-slaps some sense into her! There, the mommy in me has spoken, and I can now properly serve my family their watered down cheese gruel!
