day in a life

The snow is all gone now, it has been raining for two or three days straight. I love the rain, right now I am sitting in my living room listening to Maladjusted and the rain and wind are banging the window. I have a nice cup of tea I bought today and thinking about reading a bit.

I feel so rich this month I decided to buy whatever I wanted at the store today, the only thing I could think of was a new brand of tea....I think that is kinda lame. I did go to the bookstore to check out a book I want to read but they didn't have it, I might go to another store tomorrow. but the tea is good.

When people think of a single mom they tend to get a certain image. A poor,overworked, lonely woman, and just someone who needs every excuse to complain. That is what people seem to expect of me here on the ice anyway. I don't get it, my mom says I'm not like most single moms but I don't think so, people tend to focus on the negative and the moms who complain seem to be a stereotype. I think people in general act like idiots when it comes to money, at least they do here on the ice. They complain about not having enough to buy food for their kids but they are wearing designer clothes and have the most expensive phones on the market and so many NEED a ipad. I don't feel poor at all but I know I am very cheap and rarely buy things I don't need (except when it comes to books and coffee).

My son is in a bookclub and he loves it. He gets a new book in the mail every month and we read them together, he probably has about 50 books and he is not even 6 years old. Most of the boys around him have computers and he tells me about all the computer games they play. Six year old kids playing computer games about killing zombies, that is not OK in my opinion!

I know I'm not perfect, I watched LOTR with him but he wasn't scared or anything like that, I may have mentioned this before but the only tv thing that he has been afraid of and had nightmares about is the Simpsons. He saw a treehouse of horror episode and was really scared but the main thing is that the dad is always trying to choke his son. that is not nice. we are gonna watch 'Ghostbusters II' tomorrow, when we watch movies like this I narrate the whole thing so maybe that makes it not so scary.

I'm gonna take my boy to get a haircut next Saturday, he asked me if he 'could get hair like Morrissey, not like when he was young but like it is now'! of course, that would be very cool

I guess I have said enough about nothing for now, gonna go read.
