Evil Mommy

Since we celebrated our first day of Girls Week at Chez Evil by having School Girl throw up all over her room (and I do mean ALL OVER her room) last night, and now my brain doesn’t work correctly (as in: guess how long it’s taken me to type just this much) - I thought I’d just do a links day.

If I have to hear one more politician suck up to mine owners by talking up the oxymoronic “clean coal”, I may hurt somebody. Really bad.

I briefly thought about writing something about yesterday’s primaries, but I realized…I really don’t care who wins. Just tell me who to vote for once it’s over.

A newly discovered letter reveals how Albert Einstein felt about religion in general. Interesting.

Want to see what I’m making for my next gift project? Here ya go.

And speaking of gifts…Once my brain begins functioning again - hint: it might not happen until at least tomorrow - I’ll announce the winner/s of our contest from last month. Now I need to go see if School Girl has kept down her breakfast.

So, Mother’s Day has come and gone. We had to buy a new washing machine on Saturday - long story, it’s been slowly dying for the past 2 months and the motor went from sluggish to nonexistent in a day - so I figured that would be my Mother’s Day present.

Later on that afternoon, Evil Dad asked questions about my iPod. The Shuffle that I inherited from his vendor one Xmas ago has died, too. My “hypothetical iPod”, apparently, now does a bit of video. So I spent Mother’s Day afternoon on the back porch, watching a really bad kung-fu movie with School Girl on the world’s smallest video screen. I also got a couple of Nightmare Before Xmas things that I’ve been looking at, and a necklace and Hello Kitty earrings from School Girl.

My favorite present? It’s a toss-up between the booklet and Shrinky-Dink pin that School Girl made on Friday and the text that M sent. I wish I had seen it sooner than 4:30 yesterday, but it got sent to Evil Dad’s phone by mistake. We sent her a Mother’s Day card, picked out and written by School Girl, and some more pictures. Mother’s Day has always been difficult for the two of us. Things are getting slowly easier between us, so I’m hoping that someday we’ll be able to go out for Mother’s Day together. But we’ll see.

Do I feel like a mother? If I say that I can’t write about that, that would be an answer. At least as much answer as I’m prepared to give. I hope every mother out there had at least a tolerable Mother’s Day yesterday.

If you’re living in the Denver area, and are upset about the proposed amendment that would grant “personhood” to zygotes, head over to the Capitol today and express your opinion at the anti-”personhood” rally.

If it wasn’t so far, and School Girl got out a bit earlier, we might go ourselves.
