American Girl

She waits another week to fall apart...

About me

American girls are weather and noise....

If there must be trouble, let it be in my day, that my child may have peace. ~ Thomas Paine

Random Fridge Art:

Beautiful, yes?  This piece, in construction paper and sticky paste, is titled "Like-a-Ducky Penguin".  (Hey, I don't name 'em.)  The artist is my nephew J, 3.5 years old.  This is an important piece because - as you might be able to make out, he has a staple scar right in the middle of his chest.  That's because he was on the bulletin board at pre-school.  The WINTER bulletin board.  His presence on my fridge can only mean one thing - that the winter board has been taken down and replaced by the Spring Bulletin Board.  SPRING!  It's here!  Yahoooooooo!

In other news, did anyone hear me complain when my husband worked on Christmas?  Valentine's Day?  Any of the important holidays?  Nope.  Not me!   I understand that that's the kind of job he has.  But come on, this Thursday is St. Patrick's Day.  The holiest of all days!  He NEEDS to have the day off.  Is that unreasonable?  Is it not sad enough that I had dinner with my brother on Valentine's Day?  Do I have to drink green beer with him too?  (Disclaimer:  Not that I'm opposed to drinking green beer with any of my brothers - it wouldn't be the first time, and it sure as heck wouldn't be the last, but that's not the point)  I'm starting a petition, right here.  All in favor of him finding someone with a non-Irish wife to work his shift for him, sign below.

Rusty, you may be a cat woman, but you are not an old maid. I say we all hoist a pint on St. Paddy's day, virtually together!
