Status Update In OVER 140 Letters
Posted By Melissa on October 5, 2009
This room is still a mess. In fact, the only difference from when these pictures were taken on Sunday are, I have her cell phone and the floor was used as her bed. I think, perhaps, a daily pictorial update will be taking place. Along with the fate of her metallic orange Samsung AT&T, a really super cool phone.
Yeah. That’s definitely a twitpic a day!!
Today she asked me so sweetly, that Princess Pigsty, if I posted pictures of her room to my blog.
And she asked me, so innocently, that Princess Pigsty, if I could perhaps not post pictures.
Being the kind, wonderful…EVIL…stepmother…I laughed. Said it was too late. And yelled at her to get busy doing her homework because she had a pile of poop to scoop up.
She shrieked.
I cast a spell that grounded her to the kitchen table, shackled to a chair, until homework was done and it was time for Hebrew School.
She shrieked louder, cursing me because the other kids were watching the DVR’d episode of Saturday Night Live that had Lady Gaga and (sigh) Princess Pigsty’s future husband, Ryan Reynolds.
But I…just cackled evil-y and…you guessed it, blogged.
Looks like it’s going to be another tough night on her bedroom floor. And another day without being able to log onto Facebook from her cellphone and computer. Because yeah, those are in MY room, being held ransom, along with the iPod Nano and a lovely little digital camera.
As for sex ed in the kindergarten. I spoke with the teacher. And I know nothing yet. She said she would address it. But I don’t want to bring up the whole sex thing with my son again. Just seems like I’d be defeating a purpose of some sort.
I’m seriously thinking of changing the name of my blog to my own name. I feel like it’s time to grow up. I think my name is pretty grown up. And the dot com is available. Will you all still love me if my blog changes to melissabrodsky dot com? It’s something I’ve been thinking about for a few months now. And I’m creeping closer and closer to…the change *cue in creepy music*
I think it’s amazing that, if you leave a comment on The Bloggess and it’s one of the first ones, it creates a HUGE spike in traffic. So, hi all you Bloggess readers. How are you today?
Twitter is the ruination of blogging. It causes more drama, suspense, action…than all reality t.v combined. It brings out the awful in people.
BUT, it also brings out the good! Sometimes.
Mostly bad though.
I’ve kind of lost my love for sitting on Twitter all day. Which is kind of good because I’ve begun folding laundry again and my dishwasher is usually emptied.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I have some children to cackle at as I drive them to their dreaded Hebrew School.
*very, very evil laugh*
Because I love you madly as a blogger, I am going to say this, with the utmost of sincerity and because-I-love-you-ness..
Your blog name is the only thing I’ve never liked about your blog.
You are a rockin mama, but the drool thing is kind of a turnoff.
But you blog so well and like such a girlfriend I would KILL to have nearby, I still read you regularly
So yes, go with your name. Or just some version with your first name in case you ever divorce the King.
Just an opinion from an asshole
I will always love you, regardless of the name…
I’ll read you wherever you move too. I always have a good time while visiting your blog!
A current conversation with my DIL about my granddaughter’s bedroom came to mind as I was reading this. I refer to her as emo Queen of the Hazmat Dump. After viewing the situation I suggested she be prevented from going to the mall with friends and allowed to stay home and clean her room. Apparently, my DIL has no stamina when it comes to whining. Room still looks like a hazmat dump. You go girl. Stand firm.
As to the name change? I personally think Melissa Rocks! and we can leave the drool on the washcloth or some other place equally suitable. lol
I am another one with a VOTE FOR YES to the name change..
And the twitter thing.. so get that.. I have been on and off (mostly off by like 80%)..
Well, I’ve followed you before… I’m pretty sure I’d follow you again.
(umm… as long as I end up having some way to access private posts, because really? That’s kinda frustrating…. especially since my NOT having a way to read those in NO way helps keep them private. I mean, if I knew ANYONE referenced, I could see keeping me out….
)
Kidding… well, kinda. I’d still like to read those posts. But I’ll follow you anyway.
yep, i love your blog, so I don’t care what the name is, I’d read.
glad you’re over the twitteritis…
If she holds out for too much longer, you can always do what my mom did to me. She cleaned out my room when i was at school. And by cleaned out, I mean what went in the trashbags was her choice, not mine. She rearranged and organized it too. I absolutely hated her at the time for it, but now I am a neat freak. My house (with a cat, bunny baby, and husband) is much cleaner than even hers. Beware of being called evil for several years, but she’ll be better for it in the end.
Ya know I luvs you right? So I’ll stalk you no matter what your blog name is!
…And I’m with you on the Twitter thing. I seem to have lost that lovin’ feelin too. I think it started the day Twitter almost died. Made me realize that I can actually *gasp* get a life. heh heh!
Twitter has been busier than a cucumber in a women’s prison lately with all the drama! I can’t stand it.
Other than that, I love Twitter – when people follow back, of course. It is about interaction and community, and you can’t have that if it’s a one-sided conversation.
I think your name adds more dimension to who you are than your blog name. Face it, kids only drool when their cute babies or sick. I’m with you on the cleaning. My freshman and junior finally get it and actually clean their rooms, of course, they don’t want to lose their media. Sometimes you really do have to be the bad guy to be a good parent! It always amazes me how much garbage they really do have in their rooms! And what you can find under the piles!
Would totally follow you to your own domain name…your writing is what keeps me coming back, not your blog name. I however, hope you don’t stay bored with Twitter too long…I’d miss your refreshingly honest tweets.
I’ll read you no matter what the name of the blog is. And, like you, i lost interest in Twitter a long time ago – and Facebook may well follow, too. They both are time sinks.
I understand the deal with Twitter– It’s really kinda weirded out my blogging, mainly because the most important people I want to “read” or “know” what’s going on? Are on twitter, and don’t really NEED to read my blog.
I’ve been detached from there a lot lately– My blog AND twitter.
*shrugs* I dunno.
I love you so I’ll love whatever your name is.
xo
Truth be told, I’ve just been waiting for the new domain name to start leaving inappropriate comments. Seriously, I think it’s a great idea! And I’ll respect you just as much there as I do here…
Thank you for showing one way to deal with a slovenly teenage daughter. I hope my little girl never gets that bad!
um…if you change your blog name; i dont think i could still love you.
get your name domain just point it to rockdrool. They both will work. I have http://www.juanitachronowski.com but since no one can spell my name other than my friends then I use http://www.jack-in.com they both go to the same place
I love your cruelness with the princess – I’m taking the lessons and will be employing it in my own home! ha ha ha!!!
as for loving you if you change your blog name though….
nah, of course I will!
