Invasion of Baby supplies

Well it has happened. My entire house is slowly being eaten by Babies R Us. It just keeps eating and then shitting out pink stuff. Like "Onesies." What the fuck is that? I put together our stroller today and now it is in the way of people playing pool. Takes up the entire side of the fricken table! It does however fold down nicely into something close to the size of a Yugo.

AAaahh. My garage is also a victim of this invasion as well. Somewhere around seventy thousand diapers have made their way in there and I can no longer get to any of my stuff. Like my cordless drill, or my collection of various industrial strength glues.

In the end though I have to say that this invasion of baby stuff has made my life a little more interesting. I am talking of course about the video monitoring system we received as a gift to help us keep tabs on baby Farrah. She is not born yet, so I am using it to keep tabs on Kathy in the shower.

Hee hee.

My Parents

Being a human being is hard. Being responsible for other human beings is even harder. It would seem to me that you cannot pick your children as much as children cannot pick their parents. We all just get stuck with what we get! I know that sounds horrible to say, but it is true.

If I could have picked my parents, (I am however satisfied with what I got stuck with. :) I would have picked parents with the following things in mind.

1. My parents would be somewhat hip to the younger generation.

2. My parents would allow me to be who I am, and accept me no matter what faults I may have.

3. It would be nice if my parents made a good deal of money. And were generous with it.

4. I would like parents who suported my endeavors and pushed me to be a better kid and eventually a great adult!

5. I would want them to insist on me taking excellent care of my teeth and gums. I will need them for a lifetime.

6. I would like my friends to think I have great parents.

7. My parents would always be there to help pick me up when I fall down. Sometimes even adhering a band-aid to an owie.

8. They would teach me how to be a great friend to anyone looking for friendship.

9. Right from wrong is a good lesson for my parents to teach me. I hope they do that.

10. School always seems more important to parents than to kids until it's too late. My parents will make me realize this in kindergarten.

11. Mom and Dad will not shy from the embarrasing conversations. I don't want to be a parent while I am still a kid.

12. My Father will teach me to respect women.

13. My Mother will teach me what to look for in a wife.

14. Both parents will stay up late to wait for me to get home from my first date. I will be home on time because they
told me to.

15. My parents will live long lives to see me accomplish all of the things they hoped I would. I will give them
grandchildren in return.

16. My Mom and Dad will always love me even when I am being a self-centered, egotistical, greedy little shit.

17. My parents will ALWAYS say apology accepted.

I love you Alex. Even when I don't like your behavior.
