Rules for Life and a Brief Hiatus
1. Occasionally, one is struck by something so obvious that it becomes a sort of rule for like. I have lots of these. The most recent I’ve added to my canon is the following: If your children are so small that they need a booster seat to see the screen at the movie theater, they’re just too young to be at the movies. Another good rule for life: If your much-too-young-to-sit-through-a-two-and-a-half-hour-movie*, obviously-ADD child asks for Skittles, for the love of God, just say no.**
2. I found a temporary cure for my recent insomnia: working out. I went to the gym Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, and while I wouldn’t call my workouts extreme, they did kick my ass, since I hadn’t been to the gym in a couple of months. Sadly, exercise is only a short-term cure; in a few weeks, my body will adjust to the working out and the workouts will no longer make me tired enough to get rid of the insomnia. Damn you, sleeplessness.
3. I must bid you adieu for a few days. Lord Kissington and I are taking a short vacation to visit his parents at their new home, far far away in retirementville***. So, I will not be blogging for a few days and hopefully will come back well-rested and with lots of interesting stories. Having in-laws makes me feel like such a grown up, until I remember that that 18-year-old chick who was arrested for being drunk and disorderly at her own wedding reception also has in-laws. At least I can be sure that my in-laws probably like me more than hers like her.
*I finally saw Pirates of the
**The child in question managed to hold on to the bag of Skittles for approximately 30 seconds before dumping them out. You’d be surprised what a racket 100 Skittles hitting the floor and rolling all the way down the theater make. Sadly, that was one of the more entertaining moments of this particular moviegoing experience.
***Actually, it’s a 55-and-over community on a golf course, which sounds like hell on Earth to me but they seem to be really enjoying it.

Not having any of mine that I know of, I can only offer a hearty amen about the littlest kids point ... If you know darn well your kid is gonna cry during a movie, get a babysitter!

Children should not be taken out in public unless they can behave! I should not have to suffer because of your failure to utilize birth control that is readily available to prevent such annoyances (sp?).
Reason #2948 why my cat is better than children.
It's official - I'm going to hell.
Have a safe trip!
P.S. What's up with the Gary comment - and nasty comments in general lately??

Ugh! I hate HATE children in a movie theatre!! It ranks right up there with screaming children in a resturant.

lady tiara is your daughter in law. she may not love the place where you've chosen to retire, but that's no reason to call her bad names.
