How did Mary die?

So I was watching this thing on A&E about vampires. I will never again call myself a freak. I'm just saying.

The kids were a mess today, being Halloween and all. Ungrateful little snots. I got up early to go to Wal-Mart and buy them candy, and do I get thanks? Well...yes...but after that they acted like jerks. Oh well. Some of them were yelling the others down and assuring me that they were listening. Bless their little hearts.

Speaking of vampires, I'm almost done with The Historian...it's taken over my life, but in a good way.

so...that's fun. And that's funny!

I gave in. Blame Emily. But hey, she and Sam (and Phoebe) are basically the only ones likely to read this, so that's ok.

My kids are priceless some days. I will be venting about them often. If any of them are reading this, you know I like you, but come on. Some days.

For instance, on Friday, they were shocked to discover that *gasp* I had a mother! And she came to school! According to them, I'm also 38, 30, 40, 21, sterile, dating mysterious men, a mother of several, and (when they think I can't hear them muttering 6 feet away) stupid.

It's so nice to be loved.
