I have very little to offer you as to why the long absence other than I’m not dead, nor did I run off to the land of endless margaritas and cabana boys.
We all survived the Holidays even though I was sure I would end up in a padded room before the New Year.
Both child units were sufficiently spoiled and WB managed to eat through over $350 worth of groceries in a 2 week span. And while I miss him now that he is back at school, my pocketbook is enjoying the reprieve.
Here is a lovely shot of my son enjoying everything University has to offer:
Please note the appropriate ratio of boys to girls. At least he has good taste in beer.
WG is doing amazing at school, having joined both the Volleyball and Drama programs. She is currently experiencing her first ever week of exams, so the mood swings are enough to cause whip lash.
And the biggest change around here is that Rhino and I are no longer together. The short version is I don’t share.
What this means for WG after the end of the school year remains to be seen but until then she will be staying with me and WB.
And rather than end this on that depressing note, as per Jen’s request, I give you Snorkeling in Wisconsin:

Hmm, I did wonder since you hadn’t mentioned Rhino for a while…and the obtuse facebook statuses. Stata? Statia?

Your son…
Knowing what’s going on with Rhino, I won’t comment on that any further than I already have in my expletive-laden emails.
As for the photo, you don’t know the bare ass in question, right?

Jen – no I don’t know the bare ass in the picture. Although it could very well be one of 5 ppl that just popped into my head:)
And yes, my son. Wearing a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle shirt while chugging a Heineken.

Glad you’re back. I’m with Jen re: Rhino. And I thought that last email from Jen might actually break under the weight of all those expletives. They must be making stronger emails these days.
Love the WB pictures. His dorm seems to come with hot and cold running girls. So tell me, are there more than just two boys at this Uni? Pictures seem to suggest otherwise.

I’m glad to hear you haven’t frozen solid up in Canada. Sounds like you’ve got some great people looking out for you re: Rhino. Sending you good, and warm, thoughts.

My balls shriveled up upon seeing that snow photo and I don’t even have balls!
I am sorry about you and Rhino but you’re a smart woman and I am sure you made the right decision for you.

As long as that’s not you in the picture, you’ll be a-ok.
Re everything else. You so deserve a do-over.
Rooting for you in your corner.

I wondered about you and Rhino after your last few posts. I’m sorry to hear it’s over, but going by the comments, it wasn’t a nice ending. Hang in there….

Sounds like he’s sharing more than his fair share… I’m so sorry and if you want, I have enough testosterone flowing through my body and not to mention I’m big enough, I’ll kick his ass for you. I’ll even let you watch.
Sending the vodka, STAT!
