The day wasn't going well already. You know how it is, you wake up in the morning with that migraine or the pounding headache in the back of your head. The kids are up at the crack of dawn (literally) and they keep coming into the bedroom to 'help you' wake up. You fumble your way down stairs to a screaming chorus of, 'Daddy, she won't quit looking at me!' And then you have the old reliable 'Hey! That's my stuff!' And what are those comments without Back-up Plan 'B': 'Hey! That's my spot!' was bellowed out as the kids fought over the fluffy pillow in my office while watching Little House on the Prairie.Libra

I wiped the sleep from my eyes as I fixed my morning lifeline, a steaming cup of Joe (which was destined to be spilled all over my desktop, keyboard and carpet!). After cleaning up the mess, I headed back into the kitchen but stopped half way there to remove the tiny doll shoe embedded in the bottom of my bare foot. The kids were at it again. That was it!

I threw the ingredients together in a powdery fury to the chorus of a clanking, ceramic bowl. There it was.

The dough stared back at me, yearning to be thrown, rolled and disciplined.There's a lot of stupid assed speakers and such in my school that come and talk to us about sex and saying no.Bullshit I say,they hand out papers with 50 ways to say no to sex.Being the .....
I picked up the gooey substance and slammed it on the countertop! Pounding, pushing, pulling and kneading until it begged me for the rolling pin. I glanced at the built-in drawer under the oven and quickly produced a rolling pin. Without mercy I rolled, bunched up, and rolled again until the dough cried out, 'I've had enough!'
For the 'Coupe de Gras', I placed the submissive heap in a bread pan and threw it into the oven. 'There now', I said to the unbaked loaf.

I felt great.
