FAQ

#1. Are Aidan and Asher your kids' real names? If so, don't you worry about strangers knowing their names?

Yes, Aidan and Asher are really their names, although I've toyed with giving them pseudonames. Some that have been given special consideration are Spawn 1 and Spawn 2 but that would make me the source of said Spawn and since I truly believe some form of evil trickery is involved, those are out. I could go the cutesy cartoon route with Dennis The Menace and Elmer Fudd (and don't act like Asher isn't obviously the one I'm referring to with that one) but I don't see those as quite good enough summaries of their personalities. And then there's always the generic animal references - Bull and Moose would be my pick in that scenerio. Sure I worry a little about strangers knowing their names but it's not like I post our address and phone number next to their pictures. Plus I've got a gun so I take the tiniest bit of comfort in that. But honestly it's mostly because I don't want to go back through all of my posts and change their names. I'm lazy like that...

#2. You seem to complain terribly about your kids. Children are a gift from God. Don't you even appreciate them?

First of all, don't slap me with the God card. I'm pretty sure I'm
not gonna get damned to Hell for what I write on my blog, okay? If I'm going to Hell for writing it, you're going for laughing at it. And, duh, I complain! They're kids. They're kind of a pain in the ass. More precisely, they are a pain in my ass and it's my blog so I guess that means I get to say whatever I want to. Oh, and don't be an idiot - just because I say out loud what the rest of you think in your head doesn't mean I don't love my kids. Quit trying to stir the pot and go back to saying and doing all the right things for all the wrong reasons. Come visit again when you get a sense of humor. Buh-bye!

#3. Why is Aidan always half n*ked?

Because he's a nudist and we encourage it uh, allergic to fabric uh, a werewolf so his temp runs way high uh, special. Yeah, that's it. And he's a brat. I pick my battles. Wearing clothes isn't way up there on my list of need to be in control of to keep him out of prison. And never say "always" when making accusations, it will only backfire and make you look like an ass. See?

#4. You're funny, you should write a book.

In my best Elvis voice*Thank ya, thank ya very much. However, I
can't seem to find a way to link my random rantings into a sensible, linear form required for such a book. But if you want I'll print everything out, bind it, and sell it to you for $30. Your choice.

#5. You spelled your son's name wrong. It should be AidEn.

No. If someone can spell Ashley - Ashleigh or Jackson - Jaxon or just make some shit up like Nevaeh, Aidan is fine. Look it up, Aidan Quinn, Aidan from Sex and the City, Aidan Kelly... Check it out and submit your question again, k?

#6. You're on my blogroll but I'm not on yours. What's up with that?

I read a buttload of blogs. I try to get everyone's button or link up on
my blogroll but despite my near perfection, I miss some. Just shoot me
an email or leave a snarky comment and I'll get right on it. I'm your
bitch, ya know?

#7. Aren't you afraid your neighbors will read the blogs about them?

Um, no. I don't think I could possibly care less. Everything I wrote
about them is true, they have acted like assholes and the thought of
them stumbling on this blog and reading not only what I said but the
comments from all of you makes my heart go pitter patter.
