On a lighter note...
Well, I'm starting to wonder how my boys actually see me. Seems that they were channel-surfing a few weeks ago and found a reality show about a single parent raising some "high-energy" boys with a penchant for driving the parent nuts. C even remarked that, if we had one more, it'd be almost like out house, excpet that we don't live in a mansion.
Intrigued, I told them to let me know next time it was on. Well, they did. Guess what show they compared us to?? "Growing up Gotti" on A & E. I'm not sure wether to laugh or puke. Mike Note: Neither boy had ever heard of the Gotti Family, so I am somewhat releived by that.

Thats UNREAL the show is famous for her boys being so out of control and her being clueless. I would DEFINATELY question what parts are similar to your life... perhaps they just like to identify with the gotti boys.

Oh my. Didn't know you had THOSE kinds of connections, Mike.
