Which one? Dance Moms or organic vodka?

Although, you really can't watch Dance Moms sober... So you might need both.

Oh boy. Honestly, it really makes you wonder about what goes on in some people's heads.

I've learned people are stupider and crazier than I ever imagined. And to think I used to worry that my kids did poorly on standardized tests at least they have values and common sense. Good God all mighty.

You got that right. Actually, I find the girls really sweet, but the moms and the teacher are just dreadful. Dreadful and sad. They have these tiny little girls practicing for these dance competitions for six hours a day after school when they should be at home doing their homework and sleeping, all because they want to push them into some imagined Broadway career that's totally not going to happen. These kids are screwed.

You guys seem to have some of the same rules about food that I have. Here are some of my favorites:

1. If you eat it away from home, it doesn't count because you had to burn all of those calories getting to wherever you are.

2. If crumbs fall off, it doesn't count because the calories and fat were all in the crumbs.

3. If it says "Low Fat", it Lowers the fat in your body. If it says "Fat Free", it removes all fat from your body

4. Twinkies are the healthiest food around. All of those preservatives will keep me looking young forever. Anything that preserves is good, right?

I have a million others. One girl always asks me about everything she eats to find out how it is healthy. She feels really good knowing that the cake she is eating has milk and eggs.

Hey Zim! It's this dreadful show about a kid's dance co that I watched a marathon of last Sat when I had a minute home by myself. OMG. You'd probably throw the tv out the window.

Visit is going fine, I haven't completely lost my mind just yet, thanks!

Missed out on all the goings on around here, tho.

I need one of your "things I learned" synopsis's.
