Saturday night I am watching Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs with Boo (age 3) and Jacob (age 13). The Dwarfs are comeing back from work to discover that Snow White is in their home. Jacob says, "How many Dwarfs are there anyway?" I was left speechless as this is my honor roll student. Even Boo looked at him like he just fell off the turnip truck.
Discoverd last night that a group of 9 year old boys are very different from a group of 13 year boys. I had 9 year olds here last night. They all kept their shirts on. No questionable language. No phones going off nonstop. No body odor, smells from bodily functions, excessive cologne or stinky feet. And most important.....They only eat a fraction of what the 13 year olds eat.
Not one nonrelated 9 year old opened the fridge or cabinets looking for something else to eat.
Not one 9 year old came down the stairs and announced they had to pee. And then came out to inform me they "didn't think it was ever gonna shut off". Not one 9 year old tried to give me a bear hug and pick me up.
The list of differences goes on and on. However, I am fully aware that in a few short years these same 9 year olds will be doing all of the things list above and more.
I am on my second night of sweet and innocent 9 year olds. These weekend the 13 year olds will be desending upon my home. Thank goodness I'm making a grocery trip tomorrow.
"V-Day" is set for April 2. Yep. He actually scheduled a vasectomy. It will be Good Friday in every other home in the County, just not ours. I do wonder if he is gonna play all big and tough or if he will be a big ol' baby.
And FYI.....I will be paying extra for pain. He is getting the new proceedure that is no incision and no stitch. WHAT THE HELL?!?!?!?! I gave this man 3 children. Two via c-section and one that should have just been pulled out of my nose because it probably would have caused less damage. I think he should at least have a little pain. LOL
Good thing we don't live on a hill. A few days ago Jacob came in to ask me to move the the car, which happens to be a Suburban, so they can play basketball. I was busy and told him to give me a few minutes. I look out the window to see that they had put it in neutral and were trying to push it away from the garage. It would have been easier if the driveway was paved AND if we hadn't just had several ton of rock hauled in. I watched them struggle a few minutes before I went out and moved it. It was good for a laugh.
I seem to be obsessed with Sylvia Browne book. You know, the psychic that sees spirits and such. I know, tell me I'm a freak. But they are really interesting and give you a lot of food for thought. I've on number 3 and just ordered another today.
I also seem to have a problem with buying sewing patterns. Even though I haven't sewed in 2 weeks I just keep accumulating patterns. Part of the reason for lack of sewing is I have been listing a lot on ebay. My sales are totally in the toilet. I'm selling stuff but for far less than I was this time last year.
I did make Boo a few Bows the other day. I hadn't done that in awhile.
Taken the kids shopping tomorrow. Jacob needs track shoes. Kyle needs shorts and we might go ahead and get his baseball cleats. There is next to zero food in the house so we'll be making a big Walmart trip too. Maybe I should buy some fabric to go along with all the patterns I'm not sewing. LOL
That's pretty much it in a nutshell. Same ol' stuff just a different day.
