I'm Not Alone!!!!!!!!!

Wow, read this PLEASE, it totally outlines my parenting approach and what I believe in.

I don't think I could ever put it into words so eloquently. Here's what I'm going to live by, as per the article:

Manifesto of the idle parent

We reject the idea that parenting requires hard work
We pledge to leave our children alone
That should mean that they leave us alone, too
We reject the rampant consumerism that invades children from the moment they are born
We read them poetry and fantastic stories without morals
We drink alcohol without guilt
We reject the inner Puritan
We fill the house with music and laughter
We don't waste money on family days out and holidays
We lie in bed for as long as possible
We try not to interfere
We push them into the garden and shut the door so that we can clean the house
We both work as little as possible, particularly when the kids are small
Time is more important than money
Happy mess is better than miserable tidiness
Down with school
We fill the house with music and merriment

In other news, my 2 hour GD test SUCKED. I threw up the orange drink in the parking lot between hour 1 and 2. I didn't tell the technician because I was so afraid they'd say I had to come back and do it again. Now I feel like I should have told them because what if the results are all wrong because of it. UGH.
