Who ARE these people?

Not Much

Not much to say. Yesterday was relatively calm for a first day back after time away....so that was good.

Today, things are venturing into the old, familiar "annoyed to be here" mode. Things are going to get busier around here as we get more holiday stuff going, so that will keep me on my toes, I am sure.

Just feeling a little annoyed today....can't explain why.

There's a thread on alt.wedding that's making my head explode right now. Someone's mom has promised a girl she can be flower girl in her daughter's wedding. Thing is, the couple getting married has decided not to have any children in the wedding party. So the presumptuous mom of the bride with the big damn mouth should undo the damage she's done, right? Well, not according to many posters, who have somehow turned the little girl into the victim in this scenario, suggesting ways to incorporate the kid so she's not disappointed. Hello? Life IS disappointment. Tell the kid the truth and let her deal. Sheesh. This whole mentality we have about trying to keep kids from ever experiencing any pain or disappointment is so stupid, and it does the kids a great disservice. Part of the way we learn to deal with the big bummers in life is by practicing on the little ones. No, they shouldn't be mean, but tell the child plans aren't what they originally thought, or they changed, or whatever.

And don't get me started on moms who get all excited about Sproglina being in a wedding. UGH. Children as fashion accessories. "They will say that Cayleeigh is SO CUTE, and everyone will know she is MINE, and I will look good!" No, they'll say "look at that kid, all hyped up on sugar and lack of sleep. She's putting her finger in the cake. WHERE are her PARENTS?!?!"

Can you tell....I don't really care for children?
