S is the letter of the day

As in, "Shit I forgot that I need to write a paper for tomorrow."
As in, "Suck it MOM I don't need a nap!"
As in, "Son of a GUN that hurt." - When you step on some random toy.
As in, "Sunday would be SUPER for a multi-family dinner get together."

I am feeling a little cranky today. My to do list is looking about as long as it ever has. My kid didn't take a nap. And I have to write a paper for school tomorrow. FRICK!

A paper on the origins of butternut squash, complete with reference citations and a title page and all that wonderful crappola. Don't get me wrong, I am all for literacy and the ability to write a properly cited paper. And I could have, about 12 years ago when I last took an English class. But writing a paper for a cooking class seems a bit ridiculous. Also, when you ask a librarian to help you get started and she looks at you with pity and contempt after all of her database searches come up empty and refers you to some random website, you are pretty sure she is just trying to get rid of you. So I am working on citations......and figuring out just how much Wikipedia can be trusted.
