So, Mark's been gone for the week and won't be home til late tomorrow night, but then works on Sunday and leaves again on Monday for the bulk of next week.

When Mark's gone, the boys and I turn into total bachelors. It dawned on me as I was coaching my 4 year old and refining his technique of belching the alphabet that I am the world's worst bachelor.

Seriously - the house is beyond trashed. There's a week's worth of mail and newspapers piled up on the kitchen island...

Can I just say that they aren't just jerks...they are really more like a$$ and then some holes!!!

I'm not normally this pissed off, but I guess I am just floored by people's arrogance, lack of sympathy/empathy, what ever you want to call it - I could scream! We're raising a generation of self-absorbed, awful people.

Well, can I just say that I am beyond excited!!! All my kids started public school this week in some form or another. The oldest had his first day of 2nd grade, and the middle one starts all-day KG tomorrow. The baby (can I even call him that anymore?) starts 1/2 day preschool at the school tomorrow as well.

Sad thing is, the extra half day for KG and the preschool program are $$$ - I have to pay tuition for both of them. And then we have some daycare on top of it. So while we...

Just a little bit about me. I figured I would take a leaf out of Heidi's book and do it on a page.

For those of you whom I haven't traded or interacted with on the site, I am the other owner of Hotcouponworld.

I have been married to my DH for 11 years, although we've been together 13 years in all this month.

Mark is the silent partner on the site. You'll see him post very rarely, but he's on here every day making sure we run smoothly from a technical...
