I can't help it. I have to start even though my head is throbbing from no sleep.

Meredith Viera called me a babysitter.

She compared me to a babysitter.

She actually said, "What the difference?"

When I said I wouldn't want my paid caretaker drinking with my kids because I do not know what their tolerance or ability to modulate their consumption is. When I said this Meredith Viera said, "What's the difference?"

Meredith? I have had this type of argument with my husband often enough. Usually these types of arguments end with me asking, "Are you stupid? Seriously, tell me? Are you stupid?"

"Meredith, you just called me a babysitter? Meredith is it possible that you've never had a drink in front of your kids because your kids are with an actual babysitter? Who you pay? To watch your children for a set amount of time? Meredith is it possible that mothering is not a job for me. That it's a role I have and one I take seriously. I also play the role of a wife and an actual person who enjoys socializing with her friends like anyone else who enjoys drinking as a social activity. Sometimes I play these roles AT THE SAME TIME."

Janet, I haven't even started with you.....

Why has noone ever told me about the ebay auction? I have items to put up for bid, right after I finish my drink.
