Why is that whenever I send my husband to the store, he always forgets something. What was the purpose of him demanding a list. And his favorite line is, "oh they didn't have that." And explain to me why if he has been to the store multiple times, he always calls asking what aisle something is in! And another thing why are men so scared to use a coupon, I mean that just totally blows me away. He will be first one complaining at the end of the month, when there is only a little bit of extra cash leftover after the bills are paid, and I will remind him that he should have used those coupons!

Toy Story 3!

I am so excited about Toy Story 3, but deep down I hope this is the last one. I mean really this kid should have stopped playing with toys a long time ago. And did you see the previews for it, there is a Ken & Barbie doll. If my memory serves me correctly the kid in the movie is a boy right. Ok I know that's wrong, but really I'm sure I am not the only one thinking it.

Summer Camp!

Why is summer camp so freaking expensive! I mean really some of these places are charging like half a mortgage per week per kid. And they make it sound real nice too, some of them have pics of kids on the front of the brochure doing all this cool stuff, like volleyball, soccer, swimming,but when it starts, your kid comes home everyday like "we made popsicle stick houses all day, and watched a movie"(YAY!!). Come on, seriously this is stuff they could do at grandmoms house for free, but instead of watching movies, you get to see grandmom's soap opera's and Oprah!!

Standardized Tests Suckie!

Most student's score proficient or basic on a standardized test given by whichever state the student attends school in. In some cases the material on the test has never been taught to the student. So why is it that a student who repeatedly makes honor roll, have to attend summer school.Why should some stupid test that a child didn't have time to prepare for determine what type of student you are. That's why I should home school my kids(sike!)
