Good enough to keep me childless for another 10 years. >_>

Oh yeah!
It's funny because I remember being a part of that pack of kids. My poor mom...ok, no really. She deserved it, I'm sure. And boy was it fun to wreak havoc in the grocery store!

Seriously, though, wouldn't it be easier and cheaper to hire a sitter for a couple hours? And where's the husband in all this? Poor woman :(

According to my sister-in-law, no, it is neither cheaper nor is it easier to hire a sitter and leaving kids at home with Dad is even worse. I guess the enemy you know (having to wrangle kids but being able to have some sort of control) is better than the one you don't (coming home to a house full of blood, burnt carpet, tied up siblings and hamsters in the toilet).

HA! That sounds exactly like what you would write if you had kids!

Why, thank you! That is a fantastic compliment! I need to find a topic to blog about for the public, instead of just rambling here to friends. Maybe I can make some extra moolah that way?

That was very funny, and I am glad she got such a good bid for her cards- her creativity deserved it.

Yeah, I guess she did the same thing a couple of years ago with a baseball that her kids used to break the light in their room and that started a chain of events that lead to a hectic day, so, to exact revenge and make herself feel better and to punish the kids for playing ball in the house, she put the ball up on eBay...and got $1125 for it!!!! Such a smart woman! ;)
