Conner hit a milestone for Running Club. Why they give 6th grade boys anything that is white is beyond me… but good job buddy!
These are a few of my (least) favorite things….
Tyrone Wells (one of my favorite singers) has a song called The Hate Song. It’s a funny list of things a jilted boyfriend has compiled in order to make himself feel better. Things I hate, in no particular order: 1) People Who Don’t RSVP I have actually put “Please let me know as soon as […]
Have you heard of this Barack Obama guy…?
Scene: morning, our living room. Conner is watching the news. Conner: “Mom? What’s Obama’s last name?”Mom: “Obama.”Conner: (with a laugh and a little snort) “Obama Obama?! pfft!” oy.
Back-breaking amounts of homework.
This is wrong. There should be no need for kids to have to carry this much in their school backpacks. Conner’s backpack easily weighs 40 pounds. Devin’s weighs a bit more than that. Are today’s schools under the impression that our children are pack-mules? (Stubborn and mule-headed does not mean they can carry this much […]
He never listens when WE tell him to shut up…
Conner told us last night that there was going to be a dance after school this week, and that he wanted to go. It went a little something like this: “Um, there’s this dance after school and it’s sometime this week, either Tuesday or Wednesday or Thursday or Friday. It’s either $4 or $10 or […]
This is also more like it!
Yaaay!!! If I am dreaming, please just let me sleep a little bit longer.
I would have been freaked out too!!
I now know what the ticking sound was that was freaking Conner out the other night.… It was the sound of his imagination crashing into scary images and then melting into a puddle of gibbering I’m scared and I’m home alone goo. I can’t say as I blame him. This is what he was freaked […]
I’d like a Xanax Martini please.
I woke up yesterday morning, excited about the day. I was going to do 3 fun things for ME! ME!! (9:30) – In the morning I was meeting a girlfriend for coffee (with Grant along for the ride, but that’s no problem because each of them like each other more than they like me… I […]
Am I being Punk’d? So bad it’s funny… or at least it will be someday.
My day yesterday: 6:15: wake up and go back to sleep 6:30 wake up and go back to sleep 6:45 drag ass out of bed 7:00 make coffee 7:15 start chugging coffee 7:29 (note to self: do not go to bed with wet hair) 7:30 put hair in hot rollers to get rid of “Medusa” […]
Funny, I don’t remember getting hit by a bus….
Conner just came home from school. He showed me a scrape on the back of his leg that looks like tire tracks. Conner: “I got another scrape on my leg.” Mom: “How did that happen?” Conner: “I don’t know. I don’t remember anyone, like, driving over my leg or anything.” Mom: “Well, that’s weird. Try […]
