Am I missing out on life or is this it?

So, a brief view of FB tells me I have missed out on parties, sporting events, concerts, races, camping trips, and travel.
After having three ten-year-old girls for a sleepover, ferrying children to sports practices and friends homes all day, standing in line for Chipotle and experiencing Dignan's new favorite video game which consists of throwing ice cubes down the ass crack of someone bending over; I am thrilled to be going to bed by 10 pm.

    As far as I'm concerned 10 pm is a late night. 4 kids is fantastic but exhausting.

      Thank you for commenting to the blog. It is difficult, but I find adding kids or removing one is sometimes good at changing the group dynamics and actually calms the brood.

Mother - Grandmother - Godmother I was hanging with the boys watching something on TV. It was probably a comic book before it was a show, every half decent program out there on TV/cable/Netflix was started by Marvel or DC They got to be running out of comic book concepts to steal from soon right? Someone's going to have to get creative out in Hollywood. We need Norman Lear and Gary Marshall to jump back in the game. I think one might have passed away So Dignan asks "What are you getting Mom for mother's day"? I said. "Me? Nothing." Liam: "why not?" Me: "well, she is not MY mother." Dignan: "I don't know. We hear you getting yelled at ; you get in trouble more than we do! Me: "well yes but sometimes she needs to inspire me. I tend to like sitting, but that’s about all she does." Dignan: "are you allowed to wear a baseball hat to the dinner table?" Me: "well no but...” Liam: and vegetables...

Howdy Folks I am back from the dead and want to apologize ahead of time; I have several posts that I will be putting out in the next day or so and this is going to be long.  I was pretty sick there for a couple of weeks and could think of things to write but just couldn't muster up the energy to type (whaaa, I am such a baby when I am sick). It started out with Liam getting sick about a month ago.  After he had got better, he came and showed me a patch of red rash in the middle of his back.  I didn't think much of it, but by the next morning, it had gotten bigger, so we went to the clinic.  Well, a trip to the pediatrician and then a dermatologist and pediatric derm and finds out the kid has shingles.   Is he Ten years old or Seventy?  It spread from his back to the front of his chest, in his armpit and down his arms to his finger.  Thank god it was Liam though, he didn't complain once, and my boy took it like a champ.

I have been sick for two days, my body aches and I feel like I will never be better.  Living the stereotypical Irish catholic wreckage of the future. Being sick and laying down all you have time to do is think and the topic of late revolves around my waning days of my 40's.  I have the big 50 coming up, is that old anymore?  Can I buy into 50 is the new 40 load of horseshit?   Can I still have dreams or is that all gone and now,  do I really need to act my age.  What the hell does that even mean?? Well, I guess it means I should open my mail at least, that seems like a responsible thing to do. Sweet Jesus on a stick!  AARP??? Really?? People think I am funny, but really it is some cosmic joker who arranges these things in my life so that the jokes write themselves. Well, NO F'ING WAY.  I ain't doing it, I certainly am not retiring anytime soon, if ever!   So what is the sense? Then........ Movie discou...
