  1. Just for the record, I don't feel bad at all. In fact, this is absolutely sexist. Who made the law that it's the man's job to change lightbulbs in the car? Do I make videos of myself doing the dishes? No, I don't. I see right through you, young lady, and your guilt trip has FAILED.

    I own serious teenage boy arms. Another fun thing about boxing: suddenly I'm seeing lots of women with the exact same body type. It's like the one muppet movie where Gonzo finds his species.

  6. Let's just say the self-sufficiency wore off after TWO WEEKS. I was losing it yesterday. The kids have clean underwear and are fed, which is about all I have going for parenting skills right about now (he returns home tomorrow).
