Mamacita says: the weekend is almost over – indeed, on Sunday afternoon, the weekend is as good as over because that’s when the depression starts, although it’s not as bad as it used to be. More than anything else, it’s the “have to get up in the morning as normal people always do” that hits [...]

Mamacita says: This weekend is unlike any I’ve ever experienced, ever. I can’t remember it ever happening, anyway. If you are a pervert, burglar, murderer, or one of my stalkers, please cover your eyes as other people read the following: I’m alone in the house, ie, nobody’s home but me. And since it’s temporary, it’s [...]

Mamacita says: These particular scum-sucking spawn “humanoids” are once again being discussed in the Blogosphere, so I’m re-running my own take on them. I refer to Michael and Debi Pearl. I beg of you all, do not buy any books by these people. (link removed on advice from much smarter person than me.) I have [...]

Mamacita says: Since southern Indiana has been covered with snow for two weeks now, I thought I’d use that same idea for Quotation Saturday. The forecast for tomorrow night, indeed, is for more snow, but unless the “feel” of the air changes between now and then, I would put my money – if I had [...]

I posted part of this a couple of years ago, but it’s the weekend and I think it bears posting again because when I think of all those exhausted teens being dragged from their beds because some adult thinks that because he’s up, everyone should be up, I get really angry on behalf of the [...]

Mamacita says: There is nothing on the planet as important as our kids, and we really need to keep aware of what’s going on in their world. Even when we don’t like to admit that these things are happening. Oftimes, those things that are the hardest to believe, are the very things that are really [...]

Mamacita says: Well, well, well, another Saturday has sneaked up on us! “Gumption” is an old-fashioned word, but gumption itself is a quality that seems to be old-fashioned, too. Schoolkids aren’t given time to prove they’ve got gumption or not, because before they can even comprehend that they can’t comprehend something, an adult is right [...]

Mamacita says: I am not, by any stretch of the imagination, exactly a spring chicken these days, but when the time comes that I stop asking questions, they can bury me. In fact, they should. What possible use is a person who doesn’t ask questions and seek answers? Can’t think of a thing. I’m not [...]

Mamacita says: When I was a little girl, Dad would often wink at Mom after dinner, and say “Now I’ve got gas; I guess I’ll go out and sit on the car.” And she would roll her eyes and say that HER family didn’t talk like that. And I would be all happy because, hey. [...]

Mamacita says: The weather forecast for Thursday night was a severe snowstorm. It didn’t show up, so I mocked it. On Friday, the snow started falling and hasn’t let up even as I write, which is 3:15 a.m. I really don’t understand how it could possibly be snowing; I mean, we have plenty of milk [...]
