Things that make me laugh

My sister Melissa doing her impression of Corduroy:

If you've never read this book you probably won't get the reference:

Thank you work out bag

Before you came into my life, socks were strewn haphazardly all over my car floor, hair ties were lost in the pockets of my purse, and sports bras were on constant display.

Because I Bloody Well Stammer!

Sometimes when I walk into a session I really wish that I had a tshirt or a billboard with these statements written on them in big letters, just because I feel like I repeat myself all the time:

1. Being a parent has to be one of the most difficult and underappreciated jobs.
2. You need to take care of yourself too.
3. When kids say things like "I hate you" they usually don't mean it.
4. YOU ARE THE ADULT, NOT YOUR CHILD
5. If you don't talk openly about sex with your kids, they WILL go to other sources (ie the internet or their friends) for an education.

Confrontation

In the past few weeks its become apparent to me that:

a. To be a good therapist, you have to confront your clients

b. I tend to avoid confrontation

c. The Judge in court doesn't want to hear nice things I have to say about my clients. He wants to hear about improvement.

So, in the last two days I had three very confrontational sessions. And aside from a bit of door slamming from the kids and awkwardness between me and parents, it didn't go that bad. 

Papa Americano

As of today, my favorite song to zumba to:

To Russia, With Love

It's that time of year again.
