If having or writing a blog needs a purpose mine is to write down things that are happening to me and my family and the thoughts that I have about these situations. I am writing for myself and not trying to be worried about readership or response. Also since I made some snarky comments about a certain bloggers choices in music with out having my own blog for her to comment on, I felt that I should apologize and give her the chance to make snarky comments about something I might write down. This is for you Jessica.

Happy Thanksgiving. Parenting is difficult. After having a good Thanksgiving dinner my oldest son tells me he wants to take off skiing with his best friend. I would not be so concerned but the weather has been terrible, it is a resort that is 2 hrs. away, neither one has driven there by themselves and the roads to the resort are windy narrow and steep. So why do I feel like I am ruining my sons life by telling him I will take him and his friend next week. Responsible parenting is not fun and makes me feel old and uncool. Thankfully he is a good kid and even if he does hate me at least he is not in my face screaming how much he hates me.
