It's not easy to have one.

I thought writing a blog five times a week was sometimes tricky, and I'm not even a parent. I don't have children of my own. So imagine the respect I have gained for parenting while fighting to have 20 seconds of the PC while fending off a 7 year-old intent on playing his Incredibles game, and downloading iTunes songs for a 12 year-old girl and trying not to sound like my grandmother. I mean, for God's sake, I'm all ready to be modern, I like Maroon 5 and I think retro 80's music remakes are utter crap, but her music makes my ears bleed. Hemorrhage, really. Kelis, Snoop Dogg, and Oukast. Not only can't these people spell, they can't sing either. I found myself saying: You listen to this? It's just noise! but then realized I would be terribly uncool and so kept my mouth shut.

Gotta' strive to be cool, after all.

So nothing from me today for a few reasons:

1) I am utterly exhausted.
2) Melissa and Jeff leave shortly but until then it's stll MTV Jams throughout the house
3) I have to be getting on with writing my next short story submission since the deadline is Friday. Not like I procrastinate or anything.
4) The tsunami has me feeling blue.
5) I find posts about my Christmas holidays to be stunningly boring.
6) I have little time to get to the PC.
7) My email is screwed up.

So I will sit here in front of the pc in my pink Lola wig tonight and write a story for a competition. Heck. It's just my soul I'm offering up. Not like it's anything grand or anything like that.

Be back tomorrow.

-H.

2 Sorry, but I have to ask. Are you JUST wearing the pink Lola wig? No, nevermind. Better not to know... Oh, and I know exactly what you mean about fighting the kids for the computer. Luckily, I'm still bigger than they are

4 Awwww, man. I like OutKast. Kelis (is that the Milkshake song?) is kind of crap.
