canāt wait for the outpouring - oh she hates her son! such a bad mother! - well the saying goes, there never was such a good child born that his mother wasnāt glad when he fell asleepā¦
No joy for ellie on this day
As she watches her son skip and play
Her days are all filled with strife
How she hates her lot in life
Her husband never seems to help out
God, how could she have married such a lout
Cleaning, washing, food to cook
All her sacrifices they overlook
For granted she has been taken
She feels she has been forsaken
But it could be a really great day
If they all would just up and go away.
I love when school is out! We donāt have to get up so early/go to bed so early. We can learn lessons in the yard and garden, go on walks, color, paint, watch movies in our pjās, go to the library - all during the day and not scrunched into a hour at night! Yay!
@Nelly55ā¦ As a young goaler, chores were mandatory at our house whether school was in session or not! When school was out, then we could concentrate on BASEBALL!!!! I grew up in St. Louis, where the Cardinals are a civic duty! ;-)
This is my first summer at home with the kids, and Iām mostly looking forward to it. Iāve already told them that weāll have lots of fun, but weāll also be doing some chores, that one goes with the other. School let out for us in GA last Friday, and so far so good. Mid-July should be interesting thoughā¦
@rac0308 I believe the Cincinnati Reds are in first place in the NL Central Division. They are one game ahead of St. Louis. (LETS GO REDS!!!!!)
I can understand Ellieās melancholy as she contemplates an entire summer of Mikeās energy and keeping up with a toddler. No matter how you love your kids, itās difficult to keep up with them and take care of all those other responsibilities around the house. Hopefully, Mike and Lawrence will find something to occupy their time and keep them out of trouble.
It doesnāt look like sheās rejoicing there, Paul Jones. You people make up what you want to see, you donāt really read the daily happenings, that ās why you canāt handle when people point out what really was written. List of chores? Where did that come from? Heās happy about summer vacation coming soon. Elly Patterson is never happy about anything. How many days do I have to go back to find a moment when she was happy about anything? Forget about days, how many story lines do I have look back through? She was happy maybe once or twice this entire year so far, and when she is, itās always for selfish reasons, especially when it spites someone else, which are the two times I can recall for the 2010 reruns.
The spammer is bad enough, whatās worse is that the flagger-person is asleep for the second day in a row.
Michaelās joy will last about a day before āIām boredā kicks in. I remember what I was like, and it didnāt matter how many activities I had ā my mom just couldnāt keep me entertained.

What happened? Is the economy now so bad they had to let go the guy at Go Comics that was in charge of getting rid of all the spam???
