Jerry Springer

Or so it seems some nights at work. Honestly, I think they ought to make it a little harder for people to have babies. I'm glad I'm not an obstetrician, or I would've lost my license a long time ago for tying tubes of people who have no business having any more babies without telling them what I did. You've got to have a license to hunt, drive, and fish, but you can bring a 4lb 9oz crack-addicted baby into this world that you have no intention of ever caring for? NOT RIGHT!!! If you were to put crack in the kid's bottle after he's born, that's child abuse, but you can do essentially the same thing to him while he's in the womb and that's ok?? I realize that Daddy has something to do with this as well, but often he's stupider and a worse parent that Mom. WHY DO WE ALLOW THESE PEOPLE TO REPRODUCE??

My boy has decided that the only way to watch soccer is in Spanish. Saturday while I was sleeping he asked Hubs to turn on the World Cup ("Gol, Papa") so he turned it on to ABC which gets better reception than Univision and that did NOT go over well. "WAAAAAHHHH, Gol!" As soon as my perceptive husband changed the channel to Univision, the waaaahhing stopped. He does have a point. Nothing beats the commentators who can make the word "GOL!" last a full two minutes, no matter which team scores.

We're getting a new washer Wednesday. Finally had to break down & buy a new one, as the repair on the old one lasted about 3 days, then it just absolutely refused to do anything at all. Of course this happens with clothes still in it and it's half full of water.

Happy Birthday to a Mr. Samuel Buerhle who turns 2 today, and to his father who turns 30 tomorrow.

To show how behind the times we are, our neighbors across the street lent us a couple movies, one of which was "Shrek" which we hadn't ever seen all the way through. Not the best I've ever seen but it was cute. Welcome to 7 years ago!!

I am totally in accord with you on the issue of irresponsible people having children! I have also always felt a desire to force birth control on irresponsible people who keep having children in the worst possible situations with no desire to care for them. I know the stance is not popular (or constitutional), but it's one thing for you to do something stupid that affects your own life and another to negatively impact the life of someone else. I think I can step down off my soap box now. :)
