I'm curious what the average bedtime is for children of the ages 6, 11 & 13.
What time do your kids go to sleep?

Why bother?
Today has been a shitty day. Plain and simple.
I won't bore you with the details of what lead up to this shitty day - but I will tell you about the straw that broke the camels back.
I made dinner for everyone, I clean up the kitchen, Marcia invites me to play a game, I play. Afterwards they get ready for bed, they come back into the living room and say, "Night, Dad". They hug him and leave. I immediately want to cry. This has happened so many nights. Where I am ignored completely - whether they mean to or not, it hurts. I expressed my hurt feelings to Mr.Brady, who said he hadn't noticed and that he would talk to them about it.
Did he ever get around to talking to them about it? Nope.
Did he go into their room afterwards to talk to them about it tonight? Nope.
Did he even wince, noticing that they had, once again, ignored me? Nope.
Sometimes it's just nice to feel included in the ready-made family, you know?

Meme for moi
I have no excuse for my behavior. I am sorry. I am turning out to be a horrible blogger. And I honestly don't think it's because I don't have anything interesting to say. I do. Really!
I'm just lazy.
Thankfully, Lacey tagged me to do a meme post.
The meme rules:
Link to the person that tagged you.
Post the rules on your blog.
Share six non-important things/habits/quirks about yourself.
Tag at least three people at the end of your post and link to their blogs.
Let each person know they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.
Let the fun begin!
1. I am shamelessly addicted to trashy magazines. I can't help it. I frequently read US weekly, Star, In-touch, and Hello. I blame it on Britney.
2. I have a very particular way of folding towels. I am the only one in my house who folds towels because...apparently my method is "too hard".
3. I have tricked the Brady kids into thinking my lasagna is the 'real deal'. It's a completely unhealthy and a fast food version of it, but they're hooked.
4. I bought Britney Spears' last album, "Blackout". I know, I know.
5. I love Jolly Rancher Jolly Jellies. I must have a constant supply.
6. I was recently told by a psychic that I'm going to have twins and a boy. I'm not sure how I feel about this. Especially since the Brady family already has 3 kids.
