Day Two: RULES

I keep a list of Things I Should Blog About (TISBA), or, if I were concerned with proper grammar, Things About Which I Should Blog. Guess what's NOT on it? POLITICS. I am going to leave politics alone all month. In fact, my only mention of politics will be my announcement of my non-mention of politics.

Also, not to whine on DAY TWO, but seriously? November? Why not blogging every day during one of the months that doesn't include a major holiday and shopping for the next major holiday? (As if I'm that organized, despite the DNA from my mother that states I must shop for Christmas at least 15 months in advance.)

Ok, rules over, rant over. Here is an item from the list of TISBA. It has come to my attention that my childrens' friends don't think we have any rules. In fact, it has been said in front of me "Pools have no rules."

As evidence to the contrary, I offer the following:

POOL RULES
1. be nice to each other or the Mom will beat you with a sock full of spare change
2. no TV or computer until jobs are done
3. two hours of computer, tops
4. don’t tease the Dad because he is a delicate flower—a poppy, perhaps
5. teasing the Mom is perfectly fine, since she can both dish it out and take it
6. only Bonnie is allowed to poop in her pants

I'm so excited that you are blogging all month! Daily doses of Jerilyn! (In fact, you might inspire me to blog more, although that probably wouldn't be a good thing.)

[Mom]

Only 11 months in advance. But you can start thinking about it 15 months in advance.

Lucky Bonnie. Aren't you showing favoritism by letting only Bonnie poop her pants?

And we'll see about the politics. There will be absolutely no gloating on Wednesday here on the Salad? Hard to believe!

[Jerilyn]

@Zippy: You're on.

@Laura: Silly you, I love your blog. Although the title gives me the guilt.

@Mom: Who are you kidding? You think about it as soon as you hear someone is pregnant.

@GAF: I am only showing favoritism when I clean up Bonnie's mess. Everyone else is on their own. And yes, no gloating or otherwise. After all, no matter who wins, I will be doing the same thing: hoping and praying that this country unites and moves forward. (GAH! DID YOU JUST BAIT ME INTO TALKING POLITICS?!)

Oooh! GAF is good. And sneaky.
Definitely looking forward to the daily doses of Jerilyn.

I'm so glad your blogging again. I've missed you here - though I do get your thoughts on FB.
