4 things I did not need to hear today:

"I'm afraid there's been another biting incident."

"It says eight hundred dollars because you went seven hundred and fifty minutes over your plan."

"Isn't she* great? A blog and a two-book deal!"

"Mom, ______ peed on the floor!!"

Somewhere else, other people are succeeding in life. Their children are using their words to defend their personal space, relieving themselves in toilets. They live comfortably within the bounds of their anytime minutes. They get their hair and makeup done by television and magazine stylists. They got showers this morning. They blog only if they have something incredibly worthwhile to say.

They always have something incredibly worthwhile to say.

*Yes, dammit, she is. And beautiful and funny. And I bet her hair just looks that good anyway.
