Some random thoughts and things that happened this week:
- If you have kids, and their birthdays fall during the school year, chances are you have brought cupcakes or something similar to your child’s class. Since both of my kids are in Elementary School, and both have birthdays that fall during the school year (I think me and the hubby secretly planned it that way, since both of our birthdays fall smack-dab in the middle of the summer and we felt gypped as kids); I’m usually bringing something to the class to celebrate thier special days, even though many of those kids will be back at my house soon for the party that’s planned. R’s 4th Birthday is Saturday, so in I went with the cupcakes. As I approached the classroom (which is a portable adjacent to the school. This happens quite a bit in Florida schools.), I noticed R playing with a friend of his, and he took no notice of me. This is good, because I was hoping to sneak in and out of there without an emotional scene. This was quickly ruined, however, when many of his classmates, who HAD seen me, began chanting: R, your mom is here! R, your mom is here. Blasted kids! (scooby doo moment?)
- Having a bounce house in your backyard is like becoming a kid magnet, everyone rings your doorbell and wants to play with your kids, even if they don’t normally stop by.
- Bribing your kid to go to school with the thought that they will be bringing cupcakes to their friends in class can’t compete with playing games at home all day on the computer.
- To a 4 year-old, that Guinness BRILLIANT! commercial can and WILL get you out of bed at ungodly hours just so you can see it.
- Grey’s Anatomy on DVD is BRILLIANT! My hubby watched several shows with me (and liked them!).
- My house is never clean long enough for me to enjoy it.
- Husbands can (and often do) love you even on days you aren’t feeling very sexy. I’ve had a few of those kinds of days as of late, and my hubby has been very understanding and patient.
- The Backyardigans sing some catchy tunes. They’ll rattle around in your head for DAYS!
- and finally, nothing can ruin your blogging train of thought quicker than your husband exclaiming from the kitchen; “Honey, where’s the oyster sauce?”, and knowing you have to get up to help him find it.
On the upside, he IS cooking me lunch!
There’s party plans tomorrow for a certain 4 year old, and I will tell all about that with photos; plus I have to write about my newest thing, playing D&D with my husband. All coming up!
