rolling on....

Remember a month or so ago when the Husband was going grocery shopping and (gasp) putting loads of laundry in "for me" (because obviously I'm the only one in the house that eats and wears clean clothes right?). Well that lasted exactly one week and we are back to being King Lazy of Lethargic Island.



I hate to bore you with another post about how my husband is worthless and blah idiot blah blah stupid. Why do I stay married to him you ask? Good question. You'll be the first to know when I figure it out. He is easy on the eyes, but I'm not much of a sucker for that kind of thing so that's not enough to keep it interesting for me. I'm giving this issue some serious thought and I will let you know once the smoke clears from my brain bursting into flames.


Big One has a birthday coming up (remember how I was all "help me help me" about her birthday party?) and we have made an executive decision about how it will be handled. Big One wants a Wii for her birthday. This is quite an expensive gift for a 7 year old and more than we usually spend on the gift itself. Parties can get kind of pricey depending on the venue. So we made a deal with Big One, if we get you a Wii for your birthday, no party. You will still have a birthday gathering of the whole fandamily complete with cake and a couple small gifts to open, but no 'party' with all her friends and neighbors and all that. She was a little undecided at first...and then after her BFF's birthday party at the skating rink this past Friday night, she was all over our idea. It was drama on skates, six year old style....


Big One has been BFF's with this little girl, we'll call her McSassy since they were in diapers. They still see each other every day at the same Mini Storage they've always gone to, but since they go to different elementary schools they only see each other in the afterschool program. McSassy's skating party was the talk of the after school and everyone was excited. She invited everyone, including the dreaded other girl, we'll call her McBully. She is 6 going on 35 and good LAWD is that girl manipulative. She tries desperately to split up Big One and McSassy on the daily. She is so jealous of their BFF-ness that she's pits one against the other and usually someone ends up in tears. It's drama drama drama. Well at the skating party McBully was pulling out all the stops trying to be McSassy's favorite and Big One got her feelings demolished. It was devastation and pouting all up and down that rink. The icing on the cake so to speak was when McSassy let McBully have one of the Littlest Pet Shop cake decorations off the birthday cake to take home..........too far........

It took me an entire day to pull Big One up out of those dumps.....no pretty. Apparently McBully got all bully-ish after Big One left and McSassy was all "wait a minute this is MY party...back off Bully girl!" and of course when Big One heard that she and McSassy are back to being BFF's now and are all "we aren't going to play with McBully because she tries to make us be mean to each other" and McSassy tried to make it up to Big One by bringing her the other pet shop decoration to school......good move McSassy, Big One is on cloud nine and feeling avenged.

Oh the humanity.....

I can only imagine it gets worse the older they get. I say we start smuggling the booze into the mini-parties? inappropriate much?
