Firstly, I'd like to direct your attention to the right of the page, where I've posted links to a couple of blogs that bear reading. 15 Minute Lunch, who boasts one of the funniest writers whose stuff I've had the pleasure of reading in a long time. Secondly, but not least, My Mad, Mad World, the author of which actually turned me onto the 15 minute Lunch. She's pretty funny too. She's got stories about her life and her kids that will make you pee yourself.
MY life? It can be pretty funny too. I'm a single mom. Three kids, aged 30, I mean 8, another 7, and 1 who's 3. I'm madly in love with a man who also has three kids, twins age 11, and another who's also 8. My mother also lives with me, and has the ultimate pleasure of looking after my kids while I'm at work. Someday, we all hope to live together in one home, just as soon as we find a house big enough and the money to pay for it. So, altogether, that's one mom, one dad, one grandmother, six kids and two dogs and I think a partridge in a fucking pear tree.
We just got back from our weekend getaway spot, our trailer. It sleeps 8, if you're willing to sleep practically on top of eachother, but we manage to do it. This particular weekend was Hallowe'en at the trailer park. They do that sort of thing for the kids, that and Christmas in July, pancake breakfasts in the park for the kiddies, that sort of thing. The Christmas thing is priceless because the dude dressed as Santa is actually some fat drunk redneck dressed in a Santa suit, socks and sandals and he rides up on a pickup truck, but our kids don't care because they get presents.
Anyway, the Hallowe'en thing. The kids got into the spirit of the whole thing and decorated the trailer for the whole ordeal. Here's one of the spots they chose to decorate:
Gerry was way thrilled.
