Tuesday's Dilemna.

When I think about what to post today, I don't know where to start. I am having major problems, people.

I might as well let you know that you may or may not hear from me again this week. And it may be because I've been hauled off to jail for killing Brandon. At some point he decided to "help me" get my computer running faster. And now my computer has sighed it's last breath and gone bye-bye. Thanks, Brandon.

Actually, I can't be completely sure if it truly was Brandon's fault. Or mine. But considering he doesn't have to sleep with the Attorney General and here his deep sighs, the rolling of the eyes and the jaw tightening over his frustration, I'm blaming it on Brandon.

Things always go better for me when I put the blame on others. (Ephesians 3)

So at this point I am without a computer. I bummed this computer off of the AG but normally he leaves his at work, leaving me with nothing. No way to check my emails, no way to post my deep thoughts, or play Tetris. What will I do?

Who knows, it may come back to life. But if it by any chance it requires calling a Dell service representative - then forget it. I would rather drives screws through my fingernails than talk to them over the phone. Once they asked me to check the battery on my computer and I broke out in a rash because I couldn't find the battery on the bottom. The AG pointed out that it was the big, black box with the sticker that said "battery" on it.

So there's the computer problem. But that might not be my bigger issue. What I might need to focus on is the fact that Meridith and Brandon have decided that Remi needs a "catchphrase," something they can be responsible for teaching her.

I like to imagine that Mary Poppins taught the children she was responsible for the catchphrase "a spoonful of sugar." Or that Mrs. Doubtfire taught the children in her lot how to say "Oh Dear!" in that high pitched voice of hers. But my children's caretakers? The family members that spend the most time with my little ones? Want to teach my oldest princess how to say, "THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID" in response to anything she may hear.

So if her preschool teacher tells her, "Remi, it's time to lay down on your nap mat." She replies, "That's what she said."

See how precious that is?

I have really got to find some different people to be an influence in my children's lives, don'tchathink?

And now you see my dilemma. Two big problems. Only one solution I can think of...kill Brandon.
