Parenting Styles of the Lazy and Ignorant

I still know how to line dance. It really truly is like riding a bike. No matter how long it's been, it all comes back to you. Took my country boy with me to Bushwhacker's last night. He doesn't dance though and nobody would ask me to dance with him sitting next to me. Well, one guy asked me but only because country boy had his arm around Amanda so some creep would leave her alone.

Another fabulous shout out to M's dad's parenting style. M and I are sitting on the couch tonight, flip the TV on and it's on VH1. Whatever was on, the commercials for 'Daisy of Love' came on. M says she thinks 'Daisy of Love' is funny. Holy Christ! what planet is it OK to let an 8 year old watch 'Daisy of Love' and 'Family Guy'? It's not! Ever!

We had a little discussion about what a twit Daisy is, how the silicone in her boobs has killed her brain cells, and how all the guys on the show are complete douchebags (using slightly different verbage of course). I decided we would leave VH1 on and we would watch Daisy together. As we talk about some of the people on the show, and the bad life choices they have made, she declares that she has seen this episode before and proceeds to tell me what happens with the skunk and the guys in their underwear and how 6Gauge showed everyone his "6Gauge" while they were in the limo.

Funny, yes... was I ready to hear my 8 year old's interpretation of Daisy of Love, not so much.

Oh My Long Neglected Blog

Where shall I start? My country boy is still mine. This coming weekend will be six months since we met at the bar with the peanut shells on the floor. We took 14 hour road trip to Montana and Yellowstone last week with little ones in tow, and he didn't run. M likes him, and has fun with him.

Cowgirl's closed, remodeled, took down the stripper poles, and when we went back we were the token white people. We are in search of a new favorite bar.

M's dad has gone from dickhead to slightly responsible and all the way back to complete dickhead. He had a girlfriend for a while, who had a daughter around M's age. This actually made him be a better dad. Now that they broke up, he needs to switch his weeknight visitation to a different night because he's "a single guy now. There's a lot to do on Thursday nights for single guys downtown." Never mind that M is better behaved when she doesn't bounce back and forth between houses all week long, it's Thirsty Thursday at PGE Park.
