State of shock

My mother called tonight. My moms hubby's (my stepdad) work is closing in June. They offered him and 9 others jobs in another state!! Oy!!


What a shocker. I can not imagine her being gone. What is more surprising .. it could have been us. Up until 17 months ago my DH worked in same place.


Another shocker .. 2 of the other 9 people ... are my mil and her hubby. Yeppers. Hubby's mother and his step-dad work at same place and was also offered a job in Florida!!


Crazy man ... crazy!!


Should turn out to be interesting 2 weeks.




too be continued.

Ring the tooth fairy

Kid lost first molar tooth tonight. It bled for a while, but that was due to it getting caught, tangled, whatever .. up in his braces. Oy!! But it is out .. and babyhood is growing dimmer.


Kid is SUPPOSE to be working on a state report for school. His state is Nevada. Darling Dana/hiplvmom2 was so kind to send a wonderful packet about the nice state. But has *butthead* I mean kid started? Nah!! Let's just bug the crap outta mom and wait until last minute.


P/T/S meeting are tomorrow. So we will see how his grades are else wise.

Mom, how many overies do you have?

Is what I am hearing across Wal-greens.

Dang! Science Unit!! Kid picks a very public place to announce his new "learns" today.


Then loudly ...


kid: "Mom, do you have eggs?" (As I am checking out at the counter and male kid cashier looks up)


Me: "Sure, a whole dozen at home." (trying to get us out of the very public place kid has picked to start converstation .. )


Kid: "No, you!! Do you still have eggs left in your overies .." (Now cashier is really looking ..)


I got a whole lesson on the way home about "cycles" and "eggs" and "tubes" ...


I just do not remember having science units in school like this when I was in school. I do not remember boys learning girl "things" (cycles, parts, etc) and vice versa. I do remember watching movie .. boys in one room .. girls in another. But I certainly do not remember what all Oy!! What doesn't kill us .. makes us stronger. :)

Dora ..

*G* mom's boyfriends mom passed on really good Dora tickets for Saturday night. I was not looking forward to taking her. The "she-Devil" she is. But she was actually very well behaved. It was a good time. We had our own parking place. That was actually right in front of the door, so we didn't have a long walk at all. The seats were very nice. I wish I had taken my "good" camera, and taken pictures. But oh well .. once again I let myself talk me out of bring it. I brought a click and drop one. We will see how well they turn out.



Daddy took kid to see "Dick and Jane" I was happy he spent some time with him. He doesn't do it very often. But boys will be boys.



*G* spent Thursday Night, Friday Night, and Saturday Night.

today was a waste.



i really need to start having a goal for each day. i do not seem to be getting anything done. i did mange to do a load of laundry, and dishes. haven't any energy. i did make kids orthodontist appointment, husbands dentist appointment, my orthopedic appointment. i am finally breaking done and having knees looked at. but no surgery!! i will not give into that. boys went to hockey game tonight. of course they lost. bad year to have season tickets. oh well. they had a good time. tomorrow i will call about booking another class. sounds like fun. least evening out.


school has started the "health" unit at school. i am not sure i am really ready for all that. i do not remember boys learning female parts and girls learning boy parts when i was in school. i was shocked to see kid sitting there tonight looking at all the female parts ... oh okay ... so questions??? nothing yet. we will see. i am not making a issue out of this in front of kid. though i am going to read his packet when he goes to bed tonight. i should have done while at hockey game. oh well.


well window in tonight was a lil boring.
