Quiet As A Mouse 1970-01-01 00:59:59 In December I posted about Brandelion and the front door. Yesterday morning I came out into the living room about 5:45 AM, and he informed me,Mom, your keys are in your car.*half asleep* What?I put your keys in the car so you could find them.*louder* YOU WHAT????Yep, they're in your car.Sure enough - he had gotten my keys off the counter, unlocked the front door, gone out into the driveway, unlocked the car (didn't know he knew how to do this), put my keys in the front seat, gone back in the house,and LOCKED the front door behind him.at 5:30 or so in the morning. PleaseI beg you,don't call CPS. Read more:Quiet

Surviving the Commute 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Now that I have been working downtown for two days, I am becoming reacquainted with my "city" language, as opposed to my polite suburban curses such as "fudge" and "shoot"okay, I have never said those words except maybe, "I would shoot someone for some fudge right now"....well, never have said that either, but it seems more likely than "oh, fudge!"*please avert your eyes from this post if you have sensitive ears*I feel like I have been absent from my blog for eons - but, really, only two days. Yesterday, quite frankly, felt like a week.Yesterday MAJORLY SUCKED ASS!I spent nearly an hour and a half EACH WAY driving - then, they don't even have an office for me yet because my new office is still occupied because she can't move, because her new office isn't ready because the guy in it can't move....etc....because some jack ass up the chain of command hasn't bothered to get his SHIT out of his office - some excuse about "being in a homicide trial..." blah blah, freakin' blah. So, Read more:Surviving

Postponing Valentines 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Today I left for work before AtHomeHubby got up, and will be in bed before he gets home from work. So, we agreed that Valentine's Day in our house is tomorrow. We don't make a big deal out of it - we just had our anniversary last month. I just got him a small gift for tomorrow morning.My point though, is that my son (thanks to the Disney Channel no doubt) knew that it was V-Day. I got home, and was checking my email (after checking my explorer history to make sure my 16 year old baby sitter isn't using the computer!).Anywho... Brandelion came in, leaned his head on my shoulder and said,I love you, mom. I just wanted to tell you that - because it's Valentine's Day.Brandelion is such a sweet and sensitive boy that he went on to tell me,I didn't get any cards for Valentines
, mom. (sad voice).Now I feel like CRAP - I didn't think he was old enough for me to worry about Valentine's day - YIKES. So, this post is partially hoping I will find this next year and remember that I h
I got nothing 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Trying to think of something to blog about....nope.I got nothin'Check out AtHomeHubby/Big Papa's post. Before reading it, keep in mind that I lived with him AND his brother for several months. Hard to believe I survived.
He's Moving 1970-01-01 00:59:59 This was too traumatic a couple of days ago when it happened, but now it is funny.AtHomeHubby and I have really laid down the law about the rules in the mornings because of this and this. The deal is that if the rules are broken, no TV for the day. Hard to believe that AtHomeHubby signed on for that, but he is a glutton for punishment. The rules for Brandelion include - no food without asking permission, he has to stay in bed until 7:00, and he can't go outside.This was tough for him for several days, and he lost a lot of TV privileges. On Tuesday, he informed AtHomeHubby that,I'm moving to Nana's! You're too mean, and she's nice.He then started crying, packing, and called me at work to say goodbye. It was horrible. I felt really helpless, but AtHomeHubby persisted that this was "good for him" and "it will make him appreciate us."Then, AtHomeHubby told Brandelion how much he would miss him, and how we would all cry all the time if he left.Brandelion finally relented, broke down an Read more:Moving
Oh minty cookies of my diet downfall 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Thanks to Mike's nearly criminal consumption of Girl Scout Cookies, the little cookie-pushing leprechauns have come west!They have moved into the parking lot of my neighborhood grocery store.They tempt me so - with their cuteness and their "we have a new sugar free cookie this year."Well, I don't want your new sugar free cookie - I want one thing, and one thing onlyTHIN MINTS!!!But, says my inner voice, you don't need thin mints. Besides, what's so special about them? You could always eat the Keebler Grasshopper cookies - they are really the same thing, and you manage to avoid those all year long. And don't forget your weight loss goal this year - how are thin mints going to help??So, I answered my "rational" inner voice. I don't know what's so special - but I know they are special. Plus, it's for a good cause. Plus, I'll just get one box. Just one box this season - there, craving satisfied. Humph.I tried people, I really did. I caved. One little box. I decided I would take it Read more:minty
