I spent a lot of my youth getting high, following the Grateful Dead and all of that stuff. Now that I am old I just have shorter hair, no McMansion, BMW, yachts or anything like that. I bitch at my kid for not recycling and disappointed that pot is not legal yet.

WTF? Are you me?

I was never a hippie as a kid, I don't smoke dope, but I'd probably pass as a hippie now if I really didn't try...

..... I am not lazy or smelly, but my kids attend an alternative school which uses a co-operative rather than a competitive approach to learning, I recycle like Big Brother is watching me, and I am totallly involved with my kids' schooling and activities. And they call me by my first name. sometimes. They call me "monster" more often..... (works better in a crowd of kids trying to get their parents' attention....)

I don't typically make resolutions, I just end up disappointing myself. There's the long running reminder every year to make sure I fill out comment cards or put a word in for the manager if I get great service somewhere. That's really just become a way of life, because I know how good it feels.

When it comes to ME, I know I need to be kinder to myself, so maybe I'll cut back on my self-deprecating humor. Maybe I'll say a nice thing or two to myself now and again. You know, real stuff, not like bragging about my great eyebrows, *snicker* things I actually DO. Positive affirmations.

Because I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, and goshdarnit, a couple people like me.
(Crap this is going to be harder than I thought.)

I guess the boys are old enough that me wandering around scantily clad is "ewwww, gross".

"Its hot, you dont like it, go to your room boy!"

I'm the opposite. I've trained my nephew that he's embarrassed to be outside the bedroom(where he changes his clothes) without pants on. Yeah, I'm like a mean nun in a Catholic school.

monster · 12-31-2011, 03:31 PM

Our kids just have to live with it. It's not hot, though. Funny, they all made their own decisions to stop being naked around the house. We try to remember robes when they have friends sleeping over.

Aliantha · 01-01-2012, 12:54 AM

My kids are used to bits hanging out all over the place here which is good cause we have doors on two sides of our room, one side of which are french doors with only filmy curtains, so if they're walking past and i'm getting changed, that's just too bad.

I try to remember to take my clothes to the bathroom when there are other people here. Sometimes I forget. In those cases, they just have to suffer too.

DucksNuts · 01-01-2012, 07:04 AM

Yeah I do that, Alil.

When I shower in my ensuite its ok, but when I take a bath, I always forget the clothes. Plus I have to walk the full length of the hallway, my front door faces a court and everybody walks here.

As mentioned, Im not quite used to having neighbours and usually duck out to my car in my undies or out to the clothesline to grab underwear. The houses behind me are 2 story.

Generally I dont stress, they see more of me down the beach.

Do your kids catch you in compromising positions with those french windows?

It was by the band Ambrosia. Right?

Yet on I Fart Radio, they always list it as by O'Aces.

And a search finds it by a band called Ace. I remember a band called Ace.

Huh? WHICH IS IT? HELP ME.

Not sure what I was running into before. In fact I can't re-find it. It's like I wandered into some sort of Interwebz Twilight Zone.

Ha. There it is again. This time I saved the picture. It is definitely the song How Long and the picture on I Heart Radio is of some guys, with O'Aces written over them. WTF?

However, I can't attach it. I get this message:

imscale.png:
This JPEG image has the incorrect file extension.

I opened it in MS Pic Manager but it won't let me save it as anything else.

Crud.

I know it's not important. I just don't get it.

I think the people who drag their feet when they walk (I can hear my mom now 'pick up your feet!') are the same people who lay across the front of their shopping cart like they're too tired to stand up straight.

Carry yourselves like you have some dignity, people.

Sundae · 01-12-2012, 12:48 PM

None of the children on my table at school seem to be capable of sitting properly on their chairs. They sit right on the edge, rest of the chair pushed out behind them, slouched right over their work. ARGH!

I do remember being told to sit up straight and pull my chair in all the way through school. And NOT ro rock on my chair. What I never realised is just how bad it looks, how lazy and careless and how dangerous it really is, not just an annoying adult-ism. I've seen falls off chairs (and chins bang tables) that could have been quite nasty.

And I had no idea how bloody annoying it was for the teacher to say it again and again and again and again...

I have been complimented often on my posture since. And also because I am extememly comfortable sitting cross legged with a straight back (people notice the oddest things). So something must have sunk in at some point.
