I read the coolest quote in the Gazette this week. It made me realize how true it was for children and adults alike... I've had a rollercoaster week so far and its only Wednesday. Ive got several dragons to slay before the end of this week...
"Fairy Tales do not tell children that the dragon exist. They already know that dragons exist. Fairy tales tell children that the dragons can be defeated"
- G.K. Chesterton
Isn't that so true? As children, we see the dragon being defeated in every fairytale we read. In our minds, our Daddy could slay the dragon with one slash of a sword. I hope that all of you had Daddys that made you feel that safe - - that protected.
Then we grow up. We begin to start seeing dragons pop up into our view left and right. Dragons like broken down cars, bosses who are jerks, nasty Chrsitmas shoppers, grouchy family members, past-due bills - - insert your dragon here ______________________.
I don't know how you were raised, but I was raised to defeat the dragon! Slay it - - leave the carcass behind you and move on. I know, I know - - sometimes the dragon wins, but if that is the case, you gotta go down fighting! I am so thankful my parents raised me to believe in that way - -
The dragons CAN be defeated.

Im freaking out
Something is seriously wrong with my hand. My whole pinkie on my right hand is numb and I have no freaking idea WHY! It feels like it is asleep. My back is ALLLLLLL messed up so I imagine that I have a pinched nerve or something. WHY GOD, WHY???
All of this coupled with the fact that i started my period. Damn these teenage daughters of mine for making me regular again. I SWEAR, I better not get pregnant.
Okay, my bitch session for the day is now completed.
Have a nice day.

Stressful day
I am having one of those days people...
Let me put it this way. I am now alternating between drinking Cappuchinos and large wine glasses of Pinot Grigo.
And its only 4:10 in the afternoon.
Oh Joy, Oh rapture.
Is it bedtime yet?

I Hate...
I HATE_________! Fill in the freakin' blank.
I am in the WORST mood!
I'm trying to get ready for a garage sale where I am selling a MOTHERLOAD of kids clothes and I have no time, no space, and its FREEZING outside.
To top it off it's made me an aweful mom. I have ripped the heads off of 3 out of four of my kids.They are totally in a demilitarized zone right now and they are shooting tylonol at me instead of bullets.
Bad day - - all around. And the only thing that will make this day better is the fact that LOST is on tonight, thank God almighty. Another TV show that Crystal got me stuck on... Thanks Biotch.
Wish me luck on the garage sale tomorrow. I loathe it all intirely and would totally got goodwill to pick it all up if I didnt need the freakin' money for Christmas!
BTW, can someone tell me how a mother of 4 (5 if you count the Husband) can have a garage sale, keep the house clean and stay sane all at once. Tell me, so I can come kick your BUTT!
The husband made the right choice bringing Pizza home for dinner. ;)

MY NEW MOTTO
Since my husband has been home for the last several days my house has become completly trashed. I swear, I dont even know where to begin. So... I have adopted a new motto. You like?
I keep wishing for the house-cleaning fairy to show up and clean while the Princess is sleeping. Dang it...
