Jeans on the chopping block

UGH!!! SCREAMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!

Last month I was discussing the issue with kid not being able to find jeans that fit correctly. I swear he still needs a size 12 in kids. But length is out of the question. I liked when we could buy jeans that had the adjustable waistband. But after size 16 that is not an option anymore. Well dumb-dumb my beloved child got in his head he was buying 28x30's over the break with his money.

Well apparently school was not happy with his jean choice over the break. They sent a note home about the fact he could not wear those jeans again. [which I did not get the note until almost 11pm last night!!] I KNEW IT!! I knew this would be their answer. I measured him he actually needs a 26x31 to be a great fit. Umm I have not seen that size. If one can find a waist 26 they are only 28 in length. He bought a belt, and the jeans look like total sh*t with it on. It bunches the jeans all up and puckers in front and BLAH!!

So since he bought all those 28X30's and they have been nixed. As far as I am concerned he can wear shorts or baseball pants. I give up!!

I really I am beginning to see why kids run around with their pants hanging down. They can not find pants that fit. I have never been so flush straighted on a matter of clothes in my life!! Ugh!!

I swear the men in this house have complete issues with clothes fitting. DH can not find them big enough in waist. Kid small enough in waist for long enough length. So as far as I am concerned he can pack up all his clothes he bought and just wear his stupid ball uniforms or his shorts. Neither an issue of sizing.

Were having a heat wave this morning .. 21 degrees. He looked sexy in shorts & jacket getting on bus this morning.

Ramblings of me

So I have a Hodge podge of things tonight. First being that CD mentioned I never posted a picture of the necklace [discussed here] he bought me for Christmas like I said I would. [side note: it does not say I would post a picture in that post, but we are here to please CD don'tcha know ..lol]

So it was hard to photograph this IMO but here it is sort of. Can't really read the words so I will just type them out.

"A Mother holds her child's hand for a short while but their heart forever."

He is such a sweetie when he wants to be. Darn those teenage hormones. Which I am sure now I will be in trouble for the "sweetie" remark.

Oh Well. Since I am already stepping in it tonight, let's discuss the instructors CD employs now. Umm why are they all such buff, built, hotties? How is a mother to concentrate on her kid? Are there no so-so, not off the radar instructor's? I am trying to listen to them talk and all I can concentrate on is the muscles, butts, and.. well you get the picture. His instructors in the past were just instructors. Plain John, run of the mill, kids.

CD started his 8 weeks private lessons tonight. My jaw dropped when this instructor walked out and introduced himself. I was all a flutter tonight trying to listen to what he saying. My mind would wander and I would have to pull it back in. LISTEN! dad dude will quiz you later and all you can think of is those arms, legs, bum. LOL. Oy! This will be a long 8 weeks. Plus the instructor on Saturdays. *sigh*

I think I will have to pick the next one. Skills? Ability? Nah! Has to be a plain John. Older. Beer belly. Yah! That is it. rofl.

Not sure what my odds that in a couple weeks the instructors he hired for Tuesdays & Fridays are going to fit these guide lines? He has had other instructors that managed to stay under the wire. So where are they? lol. This is going to be a long winter until spring gets here and we are through with these instructors if they all look like Monday & Saturday guys.

Enough on that topic. I am sure CD will have a thing or two, three to say about me going on about his instructors. Oh well .. get outta momma's blog!

Onto School. So tomorrow is it! School is back. These days have just flown. I wish it was longer. They are calling for bad weather so we might luck in another day. We will have to see.

I have still not healed enough to get around enough to return to volunteering up at school. The treasurer didn't contact me during the break about sending me a check [and I reminded her twice before school let out on the 18th], so I am not even going to worry about it.

I think I am done!! This year has been one struggle after another. I give! I am the only one the seems to break their butt getting that snack cart open daily. Which I don't mind if the funds are available without harping and hassles.

Also when I was elected Secretary of PTA at the end of last school year I told them I was not sure how long I would be able to attend meetings. Now here we are in January and baseball practices have started. They landed on Tuesdays & Fridays. So PTA meetings being on Tuesdays is a problem now. So I think I will just step down from my positions on the board. Let someone else have the headaches. But we will see. Once school is back in session maybe she will send a check home with Catcher Dude. But I just don't see how I can lift, drive, and such like I was before. Then 8 weeks actually 6 weeks from now I have another surgery and have to recover from that. Hmmm .. I am doubtful this will work out anymore. I will have to chew on this some more and see what I really decide.

Well it is waaayyy past time getting Catcher Dude in shower and bed. Tomorrow is going to be hard enough. His sleep patterns really got messed up this break. So I am sure 6 a.m tomorrow will be a B-E-A-R. As will CD.

Oh and I just remembered I have the second part surgery at the root canal specialist tomorrow. Dang! This was scheduled before all this other stuff and surgery came up!! I really should have cancelled. I didn't notice it on my calendar until just now (well I just now flipped off December onto January!!) BITE! Ugh! Now this should be interesting. UGH! Why was there no reminder call today? Thanks!

Sunday this, that, venting all in one

So I am finally getting around to sharing some pictures from Christmas day. It was a nice day. Quiet. Actually my mother surprised me with a digital camera for my Anniversary. (I was very clear we would not be doing Christmas this year!) So she wrapped it up in wedding paper.

Catcher Dude got me a necklace. It is the most precious thing. I can not help but cry every time I read it.

Now Catcher dude .. he raked it in even though Christmas was suppose to be back burner. Mainly clothes. Gift Cards and money.

We had a nice day. No cooking, cleaning, yelling, fighting .. just quiet. We mainly just watched DVD's in bed all day. (Of course what else could I do?)

Tree before it was ransacked.

Catcher Dude opening gift.

What ever. I see 2009 is the year for us to COMPLETELY disagree.

(Mom will have finally say .. my house, my roof, my car that has to transport ya)

Finally putting together car he got 3-4 years ago.

Nothing really new today. I am just trying to stop being bored. I am still feeling like complete doo-doo. I called the Dr. office on Friday. What a waste of time. They were open. But the surgeon on call seeing patients had no clue about my type of surgery. The nurse on call knew nothing about it either. So they both wanted me to come in this week. BUT my Dr. is on vacation.

I am really getting annoyed. I still can not really sit, or stand the pain. I am supposed to drive kid to his baseball camp we bought him starting tomorrow. There is no way. So that money is down the drain!! DH is really pissed off'ed. DS is mad and disappointed.

I really messed up. I should have put my foot down and said NO! But I let this Dr. bully me. So that is the "great" update. I just try to stay out of every one's way. I seem to just make them more mad when I need help. So I just lay .. quiet and try to make no requests.

I tried to tidy up around here today. No one else is doing anything! I managed to crawl down the stairs to do some laundry. I was totally out of under clothes and towels. 3-4x day site baths can do that. That 'bout killed me. But DH is not here he left for the day. DS is sleeping and won't get up and help. As I said before my needing people and help has worn out it's welcome.

Catcher Dude and his clothes .. oy! I am the biggest "pick your battles" type person. But he HAS to find jeans that fit him. I hate the ones he is wearing. We have been 'round and 'round on this. He has to move out of the kids section for jeans, though really in waist he is not ready. The 14's are really to big in the waist, and really, really to short in the length. 16's are just a tad longer, but not enough and they swallow him in waist. Talk about saggin and belt Nada!! .. Oy!

So we tried taking him over to men's. The smallest I could find was 29x30. The length perfect! Waist .. oh boy, he will be suspended by first block. lol. The kid sizes are not long enough.

But what does he do yesterday? Bought the 28 x 30. Sigh! I am so mad I could spit! He gets suspended and he will NOT be playing ball. PERIOD! I could care less about what dad and him say. I am the driver. (Well if I can ever drive again. lol)

Let's see what else?? Hmm .. well I guess that is about it for my hodge podge of news and vents.
