Over the past couple of days my lovely offspring have been trying to outdo one another by seeing which one of them have the least amount of brain cells.
Exhibit A

That's right. My 9 year old has decided, without any input from her dear old Mom I might add, that it was time to shave her legs. Ah yes, it's basically a rite of passage that every girl goes through eventually. I just sort of assumed that I had more time.
I got the news delivered by, you guessed it, a text message while I was at work.
Brent- "Yeah, so YOUR daughter decided it was time to shave her legs tonight. We're out of band-aids by the way."
Me- "You're shitting me?"
Brent- "Nope. She'll be needing skin grafts tomorrow. Oh, and she also shaved her arms as well.
Me- "What the fuck? Who does she think she is? Michael Phelps? Jesus!"
Brent- "No worries. The bleeding is under control. She asked me if you were going to be mad. Now she's concerned that you're going to laugh at her."
Me- "Yes. Because she now has flesh and 9 yr old girl hair in my new Venus razor and yes. Absofuckinglutely. Gotta go. Morphine to dispense."
Exhibit B

So the next afternoon when I woke up, I was fully prepared to have a little chit chat with my leg amputating 9 yr old, but first I was greeted by my son who had apparently taken it upon himself to write on his own freaking forehead "I'm going to Will's house". Nice. Since when did he start printing out his itinerary on his head, you ask? Hell if I know.
Make me feel better. Those of you with kiddos, feel free to tell me about something they've done that made you question if they were switched at birth in the hospital.

Uh, yeah. Not so much. I mean, from the neck up I've pretty much met my goal, but since Brent isn't going to be carrying around my head on the beach, I've got some serious fucking work to do. So I've got this new totally attainable goal to lose roughly 102 pounds in the next 43 days.
