DS12 is watching "Star Wars The Legacy Revealed" on the History Channel this morning. Its really good! I never realized Darth Vader's helmet resembled the Nazi's.
DS9 is taking a break from making Poptart ATCs. Yesterday he told me he was running out of ideas for Poptart flavors. I guess its down time for his creativity until he recharges. Got any ideas for flavors of Poptarts you'd like to try?
Maybe I need recharging too. I'm generally dissatisfied with life these days. I know I need to count my blessings and get over it, but first get your cheese, I want to whine.
I have lost my patience for parents who don't parent! Why do so many people ignore their child's inappropriate behavior and fail to correct them?
I shouldn't be surprised. They aren't really parents but taxi drivers. They shuffle their kids from school, to swim lessons, then soccer, then karate, etc. They don't even pay attention to what their child is learning.
"I don't know what level my son swims at now. I don't know who his teacher is. I want to schedule lessons for spring but what level will he be in?" Translation- I just pay for lessons. I don't watch him swim. You introduced me to his teacher weeks ago but I didn't care to learn her name. I don't ask him how he's doing. I certainly don't come back for family swim and swim with my child ever! We don't have time for that!
I have also lost faith in our DMV department for issuing driver's licenses. The past two nights I've had near misses.
I slowed down and signaled I was pulling over. I was dropping off my nephew in his driveway. The moron behind me doesn't slow down but honks his horn and flips me off. Nephew is in the van so I can't return the insult.
Last night I'm driven off the road because moron #2 wants to pass someone when it wasn't safe to do so. Never mind the fact that 200 yards further, the road opens up to 4 lanes. It was more important to threaten my life.
If DS9 is serious about wanting to be a police officer, I can't wait for him to kick butt doing so! I can't tell you how many times I wish I had a dashboard camera!
I have to stop being Darkside Dawn. DS9 is playing a game where he has to spell words and he's asking for help. (Unschooling spelling lesson time)
Thanks for letting me vent. I'll turn back to my cookie baking self soon.

We are all allowed to have our "black mood days". I agree about some parents today. Seems like parenting skills have been lost somewhere along the way. Sunny days are around the corner.
Yes, yes, vent all you want. It's healthy... right? People make me crazy too. I make me crazy! My mood lately? Not so much the dark side, but the lethargic side, the apathetic side, the lazy side! Not so good either.
Everyone gets to have dark days. My mood has been on the lazy side lately. I just don't feel like doing much of anything. I think it's the depressing weather. I am so ready for spring + warmer weather. Then I'll be complaining it's too hot. LOL
Better to get it out than hold it in, that's what I say.
Dark here also
WE NEED SPRING!!!!
Hugs! Sorry you're having a rough one and SO agree with you on the issuing of driver's licenses. I question our state too on that. Icy roads, blustery weather and do people have their headlights on? Can I see more than the hood of the car behind me who is following WAY too close for conditions? GRRR! I agree we do need spring.
