Mother's Day: Pros and Cons
Pro: Waking up to find this hot daddy next to me, along with sweet cards from B. and Clara "Dust Devil" Jane.
Con: My own mother currently dislikes me, and my father pretty much hates me.
Pro: Since we cut our visit to my hometown short by a day - hey! - we've got an extra day.
Con: All that wasted time driving to and from my hometown, nevermind the time there. Don't get me started.
Pro: Getting to spend some time with my cousins Tyler and Hillary while in my hometown, who I don't see often enough.
Con: Getting so spend some time with another cousin, who felt the need to tell us how one of her many dogs comes running when he sees anyone picking their noses because she wants to eat the boogers.
Pro: Discovering the potential of making our next home in Belleville, Illinois, where they have a quaint town square, several Metrolink stops that lead to urbanization, and houses like this sell for about a dollar fifty.*
Con: Realizing that, if we do move to Belleville, I'll be one of those Illinois drivers I mock. Or worse, all those Illinois drivers I've mocked will be waiting for me.
Pro: I'm going to Chicago to see U2 tomorrow!
Con: I missed last night's Chicago U2 show in favor of having my pysche bull-whipped yet again by my parents.
Pro: They're sitting in the living room. One's talking to his mom in Michigan. The other is playing with her LeapPad.
Con: I honestly can't think of one, aside from I haven't completely fucked up my relationship with both of them. There's still hope.
Much love to my fellow mamas. Yo.
*And how could I possibly not live in a town with a restaurant named Hazel & Betty's Mexican Food, located in the bowling alley? We could base this potential move solely on the existance of this restaurant.

Okay it takes time to completely fuck them up, I am only at partially fucked up with my family, and I have over a decade. Give Clara Jane a sibling, then you will be well on your way to fucked up.
Whee! I finally figured out where you went! Happy Belated Mother's Day, Robin. Don't let the family stress you out (easier said than done)...I skipped out on the Mother's Day pilgrimage this year and it was the best Mother's Day I've had in a long time. Maybe I'll post on that later.
I assume you are recovering from a rockin' U2 show. Please please pleeeease blog about it because I heart Bono so much and have not seen him live in an embarrassingly long time. I must live through you.
All we need is a comment from PKB and I'd have a triumvarent of Lisas!
