Writing for pay is very different than writing for me. Hopefully the stuff I am working on for my self, (novel) will pay me eventually, I mean the assignment writing. Speaking of writing, my amazing cousin got an offer on her book! It is a comical take on a parenting self-help book. I will keep you updated. Back to me. I am not being the greatest summer mother, but I am trying. The many hours XX5 spent playing video games yesterday indicates I might not be trying hard enough. I bought the recent Time magazine that focuses on childhood obesity. Guilt upon guilt!
XY17 has a girlfriend, pretty much for the first time. I really like her. She is very sweet, smart and cute. I am always pushing XX17 to have friends over. He spends more time at his friends homes then they spend here. I really just want kids over here so I can feed them. It's a sickness. I need help. I know.

I commend you for wanting to have your kids' friends over! I have a very hard time opening my house to other people's kids. I should be a better mother too!

Love y'all
Thanks for the shout out! Is this a different girlfriend than you had told me about?
BTW, just ordered the new Sedaris book and THE POSITION by Meg Wolitzer from Amazon. So excited! Miss you. We owe you a visit. Will talk with P. Might need to be a sleepover. Okay, too much info for your "comments" section. I'll shut up now. xo
Darn! With all the kids you and burpkitty have, I was hoping to drop off one more and no one would notice the extra head (or mouth!) How is that for the nomination for Mother of the Year!!!
Love ya!
