Who am I? And what would you like for supper?

I was going to update the site. Really. But my friend Janna introduced me to Ancestry.com. Demps Clark, or Dempse, Dempsie, Dempsey, whose father's name is Will Clark, or William, or John william, or maybe William John, William J? anyway, guess you can tell how I spent the weekend when not cooking.

Don't you love cooler weather? It makes me want to cook--except when I' m huddled into bed with my laptop searching for illusive relatives, The laptop even keeps my toes warm.

new posts

I'm going to update this blog--cross my heart. I even have pictures of my favorite place on earth to share. Might just make this a play on the computer all day day.

It's Over. So very Over.

My vampire obsession, that is. I've been walking around for weeks now, saying i wanted Carlisle to make me an age-appropriate vampire.

No more.

I watched TrueBlood last night.

Nothing else need be said on the subject.

What is DC??

DC are my "Dearest Children" text messages. my kids have been hateful and just not very nice at all this summer. They're capable of influencing humanity until the end of time , but don't seem to be hitting those strokes with me so far.

Anyway, DC 2 explains the rationale behind these texts.

I rarely* ragged on the kids when they were altogether--or even here at the house at the same time. So, having made that breakthrough thought, that I yell at both of them the same; they just don't happen to hear every time it happens when they're not here.

I needed to find a way to communicate that to my DC's. DC is a manner for me to comment on adverse behavior (prompted by the fact that somebody used the food processor and left it i the sink for me to clean up--oh no, I'm so very over this crap. It's been happening ALL freaking summer and it's over and done. (See, Bill, I promise you, I don't live Gina better!!! I love both you the absolute same--which may vary on any particular day).

See, DC has already brought better communication between us.

BTW, I'm pretty sure I told them that they have to actually replay text w/i 5 minutes or i'm cancelling their cell phone contracts???

*Trust me, it's "rarely" as compared to the number of times I want to do this, dammit.

DC 2

the rivalry between you two has always just really bothered me. I
really tried very hard to follow whatever current line of perfect
parenting that was in fashion at the time. I'm actually pretty damn
committed and do things right, so why then, did my children so
horribly resent each other? IT'S BECAUSE I DIDN'T YELL AT YOU GUYS
TOGETHER!! You each thought I never "parented or corrected the other
child.--only you. But, don't worry darlings, that shit is so over.

what's worse than a house full of burst pipe?

Getting everything moved out so the repairs can begin.
