Teenagers..... my son who has done nothing all weekend that was productive EXCEPT water the xmas tree a couple times says to me this evening as I am carrying laundry I just washed and folded to my bedroom "Gosh am I the only one who cares about the xmas tree?" I admit I was a little snarky in my reply well gee son, I've been a little busy cooking, cleaning, doing the laundry, and serving you and your father drinks at your every whims, sorry I haven't had a chance to water the tree yet.

Bah. Y'know I don't MIND bringing them drinks when I'm going from room to room anyway what the he!!, it's just, don't you DARE sit on your butt and accuse me of not caring about the xmas tree when it's the ONE dam thing you've gotten off your butt to do all weekend.

Whatever. They both better get used to the new assertive me or they're gonna be fending for their ownselves and I'm gonna take off for three or four days and treat myself to some mystical stuff in Sedona and they won't be invited!!!

Rant over.

p.s. And I'm going to plan a solo trip to Sedona anyway. I deserve it!!!!
