I started a post for you way back on Saturday, but just haven't had the heart to finish it. I have been cleaning, reorganizing, decluttering, teaching, and sleeping, in that order, since I got home, and it seems to be taking all my time and energy, so when I get to the computer, I just don't have the interest or fortitude to blog. At least that's what I have been telling myself. Sigh. I need to work on my attitude, don't I?
My mom was going to come down and help me with this house today, and she just called and canceled at the last minute, and now I am starting to go into overwhelm. I need to get a handle on this house, the messy, unused studio, and these disobedient, unruly kids. I will try to get to the blog later today, but can't make any promises.
Sigh. I wish I was still on vacation at Dy's house. I miss her and we made a really good team. Two mamas make dealing with everything all at the same time so much easier, and so much more fun!

Rant: Identigene
(Please wait for a moment while I pull my soapbox out from under the bed, and get up on it. Okay, I am ready.)
You are not going to believe what I heard on the radio: An advertisement for this. No kidding. You can buy it at Rite-Aid. The Ad campaign just cracked me up in a very surreal uncomfortable way. I am a station flipper in the car, so this is where we came in: "My husband had doubts and was quite upset. We used the kit, sent in for the results, and 3 weeks later, my dh is satisfied and content, knowing our child is his." I kid you not. Does this not strike anyone else as just totally weird and strange? That a DNA kit would be marketed to the general public? And with a marketing/media campaign like this? Look how giddy the three women are, all sitting around the laptop, happy and congratulatory that their friend knows just who is her baby's daddy? Sheesh. If you know me in real life, you can ask me sometime about my little family's experience with DNA testing. But however you look at it, I think this says a great deal about our current societal values, morals, and maybe lack thereof.
(Ahem. Stepping off the soapbox, and skooching it back under the bed.)
