I Want My Two Dollars!
Lena and Liberty start a paper route today. Now maybe they can buy their own damn food and gas. Kidding! I know they would choose to buy video games and starve to death, clinging to the warm screen of the DS.
Anyway, we’re terribly busy because we all have jobs now, except Maya who is very quickly learning to read so she can get a job. She’s sitting on my lap as I type this and she just said, “Why does it say ‘Maya’? And why does it say ‘job’? I’m glad I didn’t type effin’ job or something like that. I’d hate for the first sentence she ever reads on my blog to contain profanity. (I wouldn’t really mind that, but I felt I needed to say that for that part of my audience which is comprised of good mothers.)
Um, anyway, yeah jobs. And we’re going to Michigan this weekend so the girls can trick-or-treat with their cousin so I have to make sure there are things to pack and stuff. Lena, Liberty, and Riley are all going to be characters from the Naruto books. (I gotta get this kid off my lap, she just said told Lena and Liberty, “Mom typed your name on the computer!”) And Maya is going to be a princess/cheerleader.
I’m kind of glad that we’ll be spending the last weekend before the election in Michigan. Hopefully, I’ll be able to pretend there is no election coming up, which will enable me to sleep the sleep of the non-swing-state citizen. We have election stuff to do on Monday when we get back, though. I did phone banking a few days ago again only this time we were calling democrats who have absentee ballots and telling them to mail the suckers in. It was way more fun than last week because everybody was all, GOBAMA! and stuff.
Ok, that’s all I got. It’s time for laundry now.
And just in case you don’t know what my title is talking about, here’s a video for you. Ok bye.

I couldn’t control my clicky finger when I saw the title of this post on Twitter… I don’t know how many times I yelled that line at high school and college friends, although I don’t think they ever owed me two dollars.
Come to think of it, I might need to use this technique for past due accounts occasionally.
Enjoy your trip!

Hey! I just saw your link to me in your sidebar, thanks!
But what I really wanted to say is that I am not one of your good mother readers so feel free to say anything you want. If I had kids they would be watching South Park with me. (Good thing I don’t have any.)

[...] and Preludes and Nocturnes, it was Coraline. I made the girls listen to the audio version on the Halloween road trip to Michigan. They were creeped out, but once they heard the ending, they wanted to hear it again [...]
