Yesterday a very disrespectful little boy called me "Mrs. Whatever". It was one of those days that seems to drag on and on and on and on. At one point I looked at the clock and thought, I can't believe I have only been here one hour.
Today was a different story however. For an hour we watched "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory" and ate cupcakes and cookies.
That's the thing, when I wake up I really have no idea what will happen or where I will go or if I will have fun. It's pretty much an adventure.
The Robinson's have entered the age of information. Paul and I set up our DSL account today. We keep our same email address, and now we are able to talk on the phone and surf the net AT THE SAME TIME. This has taken on new importance to us since most of the calls I get for subbing come in the evening during prime surfing time for Paul.
Please say it ain't so. According to Mattel toys, Barbie and Ken have officially called it quits. Many suspect Cali Girl Barbie somehow involved, however, it is reported that they "will remain friends".

In honor of my brother and sister in law who are about to become parents, here are some funny quotes about kids:
