Hey!
Right. So i was totally super excited to get my motherboard from our super awesome friendly cool guy UPS driver (i think there's some kind of Pavlovian response thing going on here), but after building the system, it still refuses to run. Rats. I am happy only because i have actually saved money in this whole transaction. Maybe my buddy Franks and Beans (a name which he adopted on the same night i adopted "Ghetto Booty Lag") will help me out with troubleshooting. Tomorrow?Also, i went shopping today with all three kids. It's weird how a 20 minute jaunt to the store defies the laws of space-time, and takes an hour and a half. It still seems fun... i enjoy the chaos of handling all three kids, and the looks of mixed admiration and horror i get from passers by. And the inevitable "Got your hands full!" I wonder, do they ever say that to MOMS??? If they don't: darn them.
I can’t tell you how many times I get the “You must be busy!” or “You’ve got your hands full!” Those are the polite comments.

-- karen - 31 October '07 - 07:31Oh good. I was almost certain that people looked at moms with three kids in tow and just thought something like “Trashy lady… having all these kids and can’t feed them…” instead of those relatively kind expressions of sympathy.

Re: your post from today, I find you adorably naive thinking that everyone can make homemade costumes. Because I can’t. At all. Well, maybe I could throw together a hobo costume, but I doubt my kids will all want to be hobos every year for the rest of their lives. That’s why children’s consignment stores exist! Thank heavens!
