My cats aren’t on valium but badly need it (is it wrong if I steal their’s??)

I speak through clenched teeth

Don’t have a four year old but would pinch their decaff or any other four year old within striking distance

jobs……I’m an artist, do I need one? (pls, don’t reply to that, was TONGUE IN CHEEK, apparently computer speak doesn’t relay that emotion, so was being obvious…!)

Hate microwaves

family meetings….what are they??? Do I need one?

My kids take out the trash when I threaten them

10. Conversations often begin with “Put the gun down, and then we can talk”.
no, it was a knife

9. The school principal has your number on speed-dial.
yes, for step kids (and my brother’s vice too)

8. The cat is on Valium.
no cat, but if I own one, I’m sure it would, LOL

7. People have trouble understanding your kids, because they learned to speak through clenched teeth.
yup

6. You are trying to get your four-year-old to switch to decaffeinated.
HAHA, nope

5. The number of jobs held down by family members exceeds the number of people in the family.
It has always been that wayu, LOL

4. No one has time to wait for microwave TV dinners.
Nope, gotta do other things while it’s cooking

That has happened a few times, maybe 4

That’s funny stuff!! I think we all need all the funny we can get these days. I laff about everything lately even the bad stuff like knocking over a whole cup of coffee which I’ve been known to do on occasion and which before would actually cause me raise my voice and emit a string of curse words. Now I laff about it. But then I’m easily amused. :D

10. Conversations often begin with “Put the gun down, and then we can talk”. - With 2 football players and an ex-Navy officer, it more of a “Watch him while I tackle you.”

9. The school principal has your number on speed-dial. - The school principle has both houses and three different cell numbers!

8. The cat is on Valium. - We had to give my cat away because we couldn’t afford the meds anymore!

7. People have trouble understanding your kids, because they learned to speak through clenched teeth. - My aunt became a speech therapist for a reason

6. You are trying to get your four-year-old to switch to decaffeinated. - I’m just happy she doesn’t put four sweet ‘n lows in like my stepdad!

5. The number of jobs held down by family members exceeds the number of people in the family. - Not since my mom got laid off!

4. No one has time to wait for microwave TV dinners. - When I want food, I want it now, dammit!

3. “Family meetings” are often mediated by law enforcement officials. - Do birthday parties count as family meetings?

2. You have to check your kid’s day-timer to see if he can take out the trash. - Ha, who takes out the trash? We tie the bag onto the dogs back and make him do it!

1. Maxwell House gives you industrial rates. - We have four huge drums of it right now! (That’s for the rest of the week)
