a stupid ass time

well, as you can tell by my lackluster performance in the blogosphere, i've been stupid busy lately. i have a huge endeavor that i've been involved with for a while now that i can't really talk about. doesn't that piss you off when people do that? it's like people who "check in" at the hospital on facebook but don't give any further information. i always hope it's something really bad happening to them like a nailgun shot them in the face if they are that annoying of a person to just check-in at a hospital without explanation.

anyways. what i can tell you is that this endeavor has left me little time and very little patience. tj accused me of being "short" lately... which is something he should know about at a whopping 5 foot 8.5 inches. some mystery guy on the internet accused me of abuse and negligence because i take my two young children to baseball games. i sent him a private message telling him i'm dying of cancer and that in the short 6 weeks i have left i wanted to enjoy a ball game with my daughters. of course i'm not dying and nor do i have cancer, but i sure enjoyed his apologetic and graveling response. then there are the 5,678 people that have asked me if i have applied sunblock to london's pale skin this summer. yes - i applied both sunscreen and stupid-repellent, but obviously one isn't working.

it isn't helpful that i haven't enjoyed a proper vacation this summer, either. tj - in all of his shining brilliance - suggested that instead of taking one nice long vacation that we embark on a series of "staycations" which is code word for "motel 6's all across indiana." instead of sipping margaritas on siesta key, i have been forced to drink sarsaparilla at vintage baseball games where old men yell "huzzah" and other annoying pre-civil war phrases that make you sound like a douchebag when used in a public setting.

i am really trying to get back to my usual happy-go-lucky self, but it is just so hard when every single person i encounter is just a complete stupid ass. especially moms. stupid ass moms are on my last nerve and the girls haven't even enrolled in kindergarten yet. roz isn't potty trained and london is still breastfeeding. when these two facts are discovered by stupid ass moms, all hell breaks loose. one stupid ass mom had the audacity to ask me if i was going to try to recreate the infamous time cover where a toddler was standing up breastfeeding.

i just laughed it off, waited a couple of seconds... and then brought up her son's lazy eye.
