Busy day... I'm going to try and write a fast post.

Great luck at the Mom 2 mom sale, spent way too much... oh well. My cousin called when I was heading home and said she was in the neighborhood and wanted to stop by. Don't you just love that? So, luckily I was 2 minutes from home, told Jeff to dress quickly, I got the kids dressed, we both cleaned the house as fast as we could, and there she was. Yes... people have seen kids in their Pj's before, but I just like my kids dressed when someone comes over and toys not all over the place. So, our day of lounging ended there.

I got the bug, and started cleaning out the storage room, started organizing the toys, brought some out of the storage room, put some in the garage, folded and put away the kids clothes. We were digging in the storage area under the steps trying to find our costumes for tomorrow. Jeff looked and swore he couldn't find it, then I got involved, and we found them. And yet again have vowed we are going to clean this area out, right after christmas. (It has all our holiday decorations in there and is messy as hell).

Made some sugar cookie dough, put it in fridge and will make some halloween cookies tomorrow. Made some halloween chocolate suckers. Gave everyone baths and now here I am.

I almost forgot to mention about me saying the f bomb in front of Jeff's mom yesterday. She was shocked and was mad.... saying that I shouldn't say it in front of my kids. Obviously it flew out before I thought about it. I was trying to get Steph out of the car seat and carry a pizza and it just wasn't working, I didn't know she opened up the door already. Oh well, life goes on.

I just read a blog about this, and the woman echoed my thoughts exactly. Growing up I was never allowed to swear, you never heard my Mom swear, and my Dad would when he got mad. I used to go to a friends house, where her parents were very relaxed on swearing, everything except the f bomb, but eventually she relaxed slightly on that too. I think when the kids are teenagers I won't have a fit as long as they use it wisely and understand who you can say it in front of and who you can't, and as long as every other word isn't a swear word, I'm ok with it. So far, Jess has not repeated any of it. Our kids will hear us swear, we are both sailors and more so when we are driving. Usually I try and prevent from saying such words, but when you get mad... words fly out before you think... shit happens... which reminds me of a joke....

Perhaps one of the most interesting words in the English language today, is the word fuck. Out of all the English words that begin with the letter 'f' ...fuck is the only word referred to as 'the f word... It's the one magical word. Just by its sound can describe pain, pleasure, hate and love. Fuck, as most words in the English language is derived from German ...the word fuieken, which means to strike.

In English, fuck falls into many grammatical categories:

As a transitive verb for instance.. John fucked Shirley.
As an intransitive verb... Shirley fucks.

Its meaning is not always sexual, it can be used as...

An adjective such as... John's doing all the fucking work.
As part of an adverb... Shirley talks too fucking much.
As an adverb enhancing an adjective... Shirley is fucking beautiful.
As a noun... I don't give a fuck.
As part of a word... absofuckinglutely -or- infuckingcredible.
And as almost every word in a sentence... Fuck the fucking fuckers.

As you must realize, there aren't too many words with the versatility of fuck...such as these examples describing situations such as:

Fraud: I got fucked at the used car lot.
Dismay: ahhh fuck it.
Trouble: I guess I'm really fucked now.
Aggression: Don't fuck with me buddy.
Difficulty: I don't understand this fucking question.
Inquiry: Who the fuck was that?
Dissatisfaction: I don't like what the fuck is going on here.
Incompetence: He's a fuck-off.
Dismissal: Why don't you go outside and play hide and go fuck yourself...

I'm sure you can think of many more examples.

With all these multi-purpose applications, how can anyone be offended when you use the word. We say use this unique, flexible word more often in your daily speech.

It will identify the quality of your character immediately.

Say it loudly and proudly: FUCK YOU!
