Today is a smorgasboard of theories....
1) Science Fair projects no matter how well intended for educational purposes, are a pain my ass. Yep, I actually swore because that's how much I hate them. I hated them as a kid and now I hate them as a parent. And I don't do all the work. That's not the reason. It's mostly because Science just isn't my thing and so it's hard for me to process my eleven year old Science-Genius talk about what she wants to experiment with. Is it anything that is simple, like growing mold or using different plant foods? Nope. I'm not even going to go into it on here it's that 'complicated.' Thank goodness the Court Jester is more inclined to be helpful in that subject area.
2) In general, people as a whole have gotten incredibly lazy. So lazy that they can't read menus before ordering, instructions before building, signs before entering/exiting/merging/not merging. And don't get me started on work ethic.
3) The youngest child is spoiled because
4) The experts say that quitting smoking is harder than kicking heroin. Fabulous. I've been trying to use mind over matter as I slowly cut down. I'm not doing the whole cold turkey thing. Why? Because I'm too much of a wimp. Quitting causes certain receptors on our cells to die. DIE. Like, withering away. I know it's good in the long run, but those receptors dying off is what creates withdrawals. So, experts suggest that you slowly step down. *sigh* However, I'm continuing to change my attitude about smoking. I'm hoping that if I keep saying to myself, "you're a non-smoker" it will eventually sink in. Okay, it's not that easy either, but......
What's your theory/thought for today??
