Look, if I come back in here and start typing before I’ve actually finished planing, you have my permission to kick my butt and tell me you won’t read a word I’ve written for the rest of the week.

And then I can come back and say “God, you guys are so harsh!”

We took the kids to the drive-in tonight to see Shrek 2 (my step-kids hadn’t seen it yet) and boy, is it COLD out there. Picture a parking lot full of kids sitting in lawn chairs in sleeping bags. The kids, not the lawn chairs.

Packed, this place was. Junior last outside for half the movie, his sister stayed out the whole time. We didn’t stay for the 2nd movie, it’s just too late for Junior. But there’s nothing like the microcosm that is a drive-in movie theater crowd.

Somehow, I forgot to change my Sidekick last night. This thing goes through batteries like my son goes through grapes. And grapes go through him.

So it’s not on today, because even though I thought I’d put it on the car charger during the commute, I unplugged it when I dropped Junior off at his daycare place because I didn’t want to leave it on the seat, and then I forgot to plug it back in. Honestly, how can I be trusted to care for a child when I can’t handle plugging in my phone?

Where’s my coffee?

Our area has another plane crash, this time on the road beside the airport. According to the Worcester Telegram, a passerby helped get two men out of the plane, both alive at the time.

It gets scarier and scarier all the time to live within a mile of that airport, and I’ve lived within a mile of it my whole life. My parents lived on the take-off path, and I now live on the landing approach. I don’t know which one is worse, given that planes have crashed near their neighborhood, and the big one last year was near mine.
