The Lecture
Ever get one of those miserable colds that just won’t go away? I’ve had one off and on for about a month now, and the last couple of days are “on”. Ick. I stayed home from work yesterday and today, and today have been sleeping on the couch for most of the afternoon.
The ebay link below is a great read, be sure to read some of the comments. I am sure most of the parents out there have experienced this at one point in time or another.Â

You haven’t lived until you’ve gone grocery shopping with six kids in tow. I would rather swim, covered in bait, through the English Channel, be a contestant on Fear Factor when they’re having pig brains for lunch, or do fourth grade math than to take my six kids to the grocery store. Because I absolutely detest grocery shopping, I tend to put it off as long as possible. There comes a time, however, when you’re peering into your fridge and thinking, ‘Hmmm, what can I make with ketchup, Italian dressing, and half an onion,’ that you decide you cannot avoid going to the grocery store any longer. Before beginning this most treacherous mission, I gather all the kids together and give them “The Lecture“.
