Fuck Calgon and bubble baths. GIVE ME BOOZE. Sometimes a dad doesn't brag. He yells and screams and has to be an asshole. Yeah, that's what I looked forward to all day at work. I longed to come home to fighting, name calling and no help with the housework. Days like make me want to drink. So I went to the Man Cave (my bedroom) and had a couple of shots of Jameson's and a couple of beers. Of course I had to cook dinner first. Bill was doing homework alone in the livingroom all night and Powerkitten went to her room to "clean". Yeah, well I am pretty possitive that she was texting all night. She likes a boy and now he likes her. Of course you can't just text back and forth with the boy, you have to text your BFF about everything said. She was suppose to be doing laundry. Guess how many loads got done. 2. Because I DID THEM.
So anyway, let's move on to something else I am pissed about. The weather. I HATE winter. We never hit single digits in Dec. We have twice this week and now will twice this weekend. WTF?
And what the hell is with all this snow and ice? I need to move to Phoenix or somewhere hot. I hat this. My knees REALLY HATE THIS SHIT!!!!
I wanted to go to bed early, but nooooooo. Zooey Deschanel is on Leno tonight. I have to stay up for her. There are very few women on earth I'd ever change my mind about marriage for, she is one of them I'm pretty sure. I have her on youtube singing "Dream a Little Dream of Me" in the background as I type. Don't worry, I am using both hands to type.
We have a new place to eat in town; The Rowdy Beaver! OMG! I giggle everytime I hear the name. It's suppose to be a family place. I have a million jokes about them. I'll blog on it sometime, somebody remind me. I was at the dentist this AM for a cleaning (because who doesn't want to drive 12 miles in a wintery mix at 8 AM for a cleaning?) and I'm laying back in the chair when I hear the commercial so then I'm thinking of more jokes and trying not to laugh while she's working on my mouth. Fun. Thank God I didn't have the chick that gives me a hard-on. That's hard (pardon the pun!) to hide at the dentist.

Sometimes a Dad Has to Brag.
Last night was Christmas concert night at the HS. The choir performed at 7 in the auditorium, the band at 8 in the gym and then a reception with snacks and some small groups performing in the commons. Powerkitten (Kid1) played a lot last night. (In case you don't know, she is an awesome clarinet player.)
She started with the choir. 6 kids were picked to play for the choir along with some of the string players from our big local symphony. Also playing with them was their old band director that retired last year. Needless to say, the kids were more excited about playing alongside their old director than they were any of the rest of it. Last week some kids in the band learned that the "pros" were going to be playing and they tried to tell Powerkitten and some of the other kids they weren't going to be good enough to play alongside these people. PK was pissed. "Have you not heard me play?" was her response. Well she certainly showed them. At rehearsal Friday the HS kids that were picked all proved how capable they are. Last night the performance was AWESOME!!! the choir was beautiful but PK and the kids played amazing. Her solo was outstanding. I was awed and I hear her every day, so that takes a lot.
Oh, and when the choir was getting ready to warm-up, the choir director took PK aside and told her that she was incharge of the musicians and to gather them together and lead the warm-up. PK was floored. And nervous. She wants to be a HS band director someday. To be asked to be incharge of the pros, and her old director (think "mentor") caught her off gaurd. But she did it and was complimented by the pros for how incontrol she was. WOW!
So she got a few minutes to catch her breath as the crowd moved to the gym. The band played very well. A fun Christmas concert. PK had two solos and nailed them.
So we moved to the commons and the brass ensemble went first. They kind of stunk. then the clarinet choir played next. PK had picked the girls in this. She picked the music and was incharge of all of it. Friday she even cut several girls for not coming to practice. They did a really good job.
The jazz band was next. They were awesome. We haven't had a jazz band in yrs at the HS and the kids really wanted to "wow" everyone. They did. PK plays 2nd tenor sax in jazz band. It's an instrument she is just learning. She struggled a few times last night, but she did good.
I took a program and I wrote her a little note and put it in her purse. She found it right before she went to bed. I think she really liked it. All I wrote was "You never stop amazing me! I Love You." and signed it "Dad".

FUCK IT'S COLD!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah, I said it. It's fucking cold. It's 6 people. That's not wind chill. You know what I did this AM? I got up and went to feed the stupid black lab and water her and let her out for awhile. The usual start to my morning. Stupid bitch annoys me. So I get the food, open the door and put it in her dish. Then I look for the water dish. It's gone. Stupid damn dog. So without thinking, I bounce out the door to look. I see it halfway across the backyard, so I just walked after it like normal. I was halfway back to the house when I realized I had on big warm socks, boxers, a t-shirt and a stocking cap. (Yes, I sleep in a stocking cap. My room is fucking cold and I don't have any hair. The socks and t-shirt were odd though.) The odd thing was I never really felt cold at all, except when the breeze blew up inside my shorts. Yeah, that sucked. I HATE WINTER!!!!!!!!
I really do. Sometimes I think I'd like it if I had somebody to cuddle with, but not today.
Plus, I was out of gas almost so I got to stand out doing that this AM. Sucked. Plus it was $1.44 in my little town but there was a huge line, so I thought I'd get it coming into the city, only to learn there it had gone up to $1.59. Just my luck.
So my weekend basically sucked. I took the girls with me to the company party Fri night. They decided to sit there and be bumps on a log. I should have sent them to their mom's. At least then I could have got drunk. When we left we went to Walmart. We bought the new Batman movie, because we LOVE IT and Bill wanted Lost Boys, so I got it for her. We watched it that night. Bill loved it, Kid1 thinks it is the cheesiest piece of crap she's ever seen.
Saturday was a mess and I stayed home and slept Sat. night because I was in a pissy mood. Yesterday was shopping and stuff, nothing special. Then Sunday night I got to watch my COWBOYS win!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
One last thing about the cold; Sat. it was 61. At 7 AM Sunday it was 55. At 2 it was 19. 30-45 mph winds both days. I'm done bitching, for now. Fucking cold.
