Grant is not always the best behaved little kindergartner…. he’s a BOY. He wiggles. He talks out of turn. He doesn’t always follow directions. He runs with scissors. Typical 6 year old boy stuff. When I picked him up from school on Friday, I received a report from his teacher that he created quite a […]
A 5 minute car ride lasts 5 minutes…. A bad word lasts forever.
The other week I was making one of my many trips up and down Los Al Blvd… running errands… picking up kids… dropping them off someplace else… (going back to the store to pick up the one thing that was actually on my shopping list, yet failed to get.) I was frustrated, for sure. However, […]
‘Scuse me! Comin’ through!
The situation: I’m trying to get Grant to clean his room…Me: “Grant, it’s time to clean up your toys. I’ve been asking you to do it, and I MEAN IT! It’s time…. You can’t even walk in here!” Grant: (thoughtfully) “Well how about I just clear you a path…?”
At least I know what to make when The Queen comes for dinner.
My wonderful son Devin. So sweet. So handsome. So smart. Such a goofball…. Last night I made stuffed bell peppers for dinner. They’re fairly quick and easy, plus red bell peppers were on sale for 19 cents each this week and I had plenty to use up. Due to a meeting, Handsome Hubby couldn’t be […]
Today has been brought to you by the Letter S.
Scene: JoAnn Fabrics. I am making invitations and needed decorative paper. Grant: Look at all of these papers! What are these papers for? Me: They’re scrapbook papers. People use them to make scrapbooks, but I use them to make cards. Grant: Mom, you said a bad word. Me: (reviewing everything I had just said) No, […]
God bless you. Now move on.
Scene: Our kitchen. I’m battling an unwilling kindergartener over a homework assignment. Me: Please do your homework. Grant: I need to sharpen my pencil first. Me: No you don’t, it’s fine. Grant: Look! It’s raining! Me: Yes. Please do your homework. Grant: When do I get video games back? Me: At the rate you’re going, […]
Good friends to have around….
After school yesterday afternoon, I asked Grant how his day was. “It was great! Charlie and Douch (rhymes with couch) went to school with me!” “Who are Charlie and Douch?” “My hands, of course!” Of course. That kid is so odd. He’s been walking around, treating his hands like they’re little puppets and wants us […]
Christmas – according to Grant.
My Mom wanted to take Grant to have an over-night (or two or three) at her house. I did not have to think twice. (Christmas prep without a five year old under foot…? Um OK. Twist my arm.) My Mom called me to tell me a funny Grant story. Apparently, she and Grant were walking […]
What’s in a name? And what does it have to do with you leaving the kitchen?
Scene: The kitchen. I am trying to make dinner. Grant is underfoot. Me: “Grant, I need you to get out of here, there are hot things in here and sharp things in here.” Grant: “OK…. Mom? Why didn’t you name me PJ? You shoulda named me PJ.” I just don’t even know what to say […]
Well, I did suggest that you hurry up….
Scene 1: Getting ready for school… Mom: “Grant, get out of bed.” “Grant, eat your toast.” “Grant, please put down the Legos.” “Grant, please hurry or you won’t have time to play on the playground before school.” Scene 2: Walking Grant to school…. Mom: “Grant, you better hurry up or you won’t have time to […]
