Open Letter to my kids....

I love you guys....

I like your friends, too...

Most of them, anyway.

And I like some of them because I like them - not just because they are your friends...

So....


Having said that.....


Forgive me if I do not understand when you feel the need - as all of you have in the not too distant past - to message me something to this effect....


Mom, quit posting on so and so's wall - I am not talking to them anymore...
A simple:
Wow, so and so is such a bastard/bitch/ashole....you would not believe what he/she did...I am not talking to her/him

...would suffice....

Then I can make up my own mind about whether or not I post on his/her wall....

I may have something to say to the bastard/bitch/asshole...

....

...

....

Just saying...

Things that suck about family vacations...

One of these days I am going to realize...
  • Everyone has different expectations for the family vacation...
  • Everyone assumes that everyone else knows exactly they expect out of the family vacation...
  • No one seems to have a clue what anyone else is thinking or why anyone else is in a frickin' bad mood...
  • Mom cannot make it all better no matter how hard she tries...
  • Next trip there will be a disclaimer..."How much fun you have is up to you...Mom is going to have fun...because Mom is perfectly content to do nothing or do whatever sounds fun at a moment's notice...with or without anyone and/or everyone else...."
  • If anyone is not ok with the disclaimer...do not feel obligated to participate in the family vacation...because vacation should be what you want it to be...
  • It seems I promised myself to make everyone aware of this disclaimer about this same time last year...my bad...
Excuse me while I visit Jose in margaritaville...
