Just wanted to take a moment to say, Happy Birthday to my cohost and the best friend I’ve ever had.
Dr.Wilma ~ You are the best!
Much love,
Professor Betty and your other fellow readers

 So my daughter is turning one this weekend. I have not bought any gifts, planned any parties, or put much thought into the whole thing. I love my little bean but does she need a huge party that she won’t understand and in most cases as I have witnessed have a mental breakdown from all the goings on? I do suck for the whole gift thing. I can confess to that but she has EVERYTHING she could want or need to play with thanks to the fact that she is the second child so out came all her brothers old baby toys.  read more »

 I am going to force myself to buy something today. This means the mall (UGH) perhaps a keepsake such as a bracelet or necklace. On second thought she might end up chewing the damn thing off. Maybe some Rawhide… ooooh and swim goggles for her toilet adventures? She would probably really enjoy those more than the alternative.

NATICK, Mass. - A child’s birthday party at a Chuck E. Cheese restaurant was cut short after a fight broke out between two mothers. Natick police said the mom of the 9-year-old birthday boy apparently became enraged because the other woman’s son was “hogging” an arcade game.

Sgt. Paul Thompson said Catherine Aliaga, 38, and Tarsha Williams, 33, both of Boston, would be summoned into court to answer charges of simple assault and battery stemming from the scuffle.

Thompson told the MetroWest Daily News that police received a number of 911 calls about the fight Saturday night.

He said what started as a birthday celebration turned into a “birthday melee.”
