Mundane bullsh*t

I got nuthin' today.

I'm working my fat ass off at work. Yesterday sucked, but what do you do? I left the house at 7am and got home at 8:30pm. Isn't life fun? Big project at work that I had to work on. I saved the day a couple of different times because the order we had delivered that we have to provision for another company with specific applications was fubar. I got it straightened out after several phone calls and internal moaning and bitching. Yeah me.

When I got home last night I was so frickin' tired, but I couldn't just go to sleep. I lay in bed, watching tivo'd Lucky Louie, among other things and was struck by one thought; if we could discipline kids the way our parents disciplined us there would be a lot less heartache among parents in the world and a lot less out of control, mouthy as fuck teenagers who think they can do whatever they want.

On Lucky Louie, Louie & Kim's best friend's 16 year old daughter is moving in with her 40-something boyfriend. She constantly tells her mother in a very loud voice to "Fuck Off!!" In fact, "fuck" is used in practically every sentence this girl utters.

The day my son says "fuck off" to me is the day he gets my five fingers across his mug in a loud, resounding slap.

My son is not even close to how that character behaves but I sure as hell am not going to let him talk to me in such a disrespectful manner or treat me like shit. What parent wants to be treated shitty by their own offspring that they suffered and sacrificed for? It's a huge "slap in the face" to our dedication.

I, for one, will never allow it.
