I do believe I may be planning a road trip to Kansas City. It's my fault. I got Buzz hooked on Christopher Elbow chocolates. She's the one who gave me the box of candy a couple of entries back. Bummer for Buzz is that her cancer doesn't allow her to eat chocolate right now so Buzz wants to road trip it to Christopher Elbow's. And once she gets done with this evil cancer thing of hers, I believe that a road trip to Kansas City is the perfect plan.
No school for the kids today. Thing 2 had a buddy spend the night last night and I was innundated by his foul language when I tried to sit at my computer, which is in the next room, with no door to close.
I don't get it. I don't swear in front of children (for the most part) so they must know it's not okay with me. Normally when kids realize I'm sitting in the room right next to them, if they're going to swear, they're going to keep it low so The Mom in The Room Next To Them won't hear it. Not this kid. He apparently didn't give a shit that I could hear every thing he said. Including the N word. Which really pisses me off. I let alot of it slide until the N word started flying out of his mouth. Then I went next door and told him that it wasn't okay for him to say crap like that, especially knowing that a Mom could hear it.
My kids are no angels. They let it fly. And if they're swearing in front of an adult (like their Uncle John), I think it's pretty much for the funny or shock factor. This just seemed to be an In Your Face, Bitch, kind of thing.
He finally apologized and stopped the language. It doesn't make up for his lack of respect but it's a start.
So - I finished the book this morning. It was really depressing. And I took a look at the first book she wrote, the one right before it, which looks just as depressing. I think I'll pass on that one, too. I hope her fiction for young reader's is less hopeless.
So this means I get to start a new book tonight. I love starting new books. I think I'll read Marley & Me. I only hear good things about it.
