Complaints about Wacky Mommy (and Wacky Boy), by Wacky Girl:
1) Doesn’t let me sleep.
2) They (WM & WB) always tell me to watch Boohbahs and Teletubbies.
3) Wakes me up too early.
That’s it.
Anyone need to vent? You’re amongst friends… all anonymous…
“I and the public know. / What all schoolchildren learn. / Those to whom evil is done. / Do evil in return.”
–W.H. Auden, poet (1907-1973)
Recipe of the day, a la Hockey God:
heat oil in pan
add 1 T black mustard seed, cook until they start snapping
add 1/2 T turmeric, salt and pepper, onions and garlic, sautee
dice potatoes and rinse, add to sautee
dice greens, add to sautee with water to prevent sticking and to make a little
sauce
cook until greens and spuds are tender (20-30 min), adding water as necessary
add lemon/lime juice, coriander (about 1 T), cook for another 5 minutes
garnish with fresh chopped cilantro and serve over rice
serve with love.

from Wacky Girl:
I’m excited that school is going to be out in four weeks! What I have learned so far in kindergarten:
no more “old nonsense,” got it?

“Finish every day and be done with it. You have done what you could; Some blunders and absurdities crept in; Forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; You shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.”
–Ralph Waldo Emerson, writer and philosopher (1803-1882)
“Tell all the truth/
but tell it slant.”
— Emily Dickinson
“Hope is the thing with feathers/
that perches in my soul.”
— Emily Dickinson
Yes, that was the advice my 3-year-old gave me today: “If a meat eater comes after you, you’re on your own, Mommy.”
HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY!
“I can feel for her because, although I have never been an Alaskan prostitute dancing on the bar in a spangled dress, I still got very bored with washing and ironing and dishwashing and cooking day after relentless day.”
— Betty MacDonald, 1945
