Mark Twain Is My Kind Of Guy

One of my favorite quotations ever, and so so SO apt today:

"In certain trying circumstances, urgent circumstances, desperate circumstances, profanity furnishes a relief denied even to prayer." -Mark Twain

Circumstances have tried my patience massively this week in general and today in particular.  And I have little enough of that virtue to begin with, God knows.  I guess I should just be happy that the kids have not learned any new and unacceptable vocabulary words today.  Time to drink a big glass of wine and hope that tomorrow is less frustrating.

    One year my New Year's resolution was to include the word "cocksucker" into my vocabulary as much as possible.

    Ms. Moon: I love it! So much more practical than the more standard resolutions. :)
