My Fridge has Entered Menopause aka Let's all Get Food Poisoning!

If it’s Tuesday this must be Random Tuesday Thoughts. It used to be brought to you by Keely at The Un-Mom but she’s taking a hiatus. Okay, it’s been a really long hiatus but Random Tuesdays still rock on with help from Stacy.

I’m a little sad that everyone is leaving today. It’s been so much fun having the twins here. Oliver was already walking but Owynn hadn’t quite let go to walk on his own. But now he is walking around our house and he’s so proud of himself. They are just so adorable and we’re going to miss them all so much when they leave.

I admit I’m still wincing over the “G” word (grammy). Every time I hear it, I think of my MIL because she’s Grammy around here. Not me. It is a little weird to be a grandmother and still have younger kids at home. One of the benefits of getting married so young I suppose. For now I’m Grammy because I can’t seem to come up with anything better. I’m looking for something better before the boys talk and I’m stuck with Grammy for the next 40 to 50 years. Any ideas?

Our fridge seems to be going through menopause. We noticed that it seemed a little warm so we put a thermometer in there. It climbed up to 40 then almost 50 degrees. Ya, let’s have some meatloaf with a side of food poisoning. Then it dropped to 30 degrees and things started getting frosty. Then back up again to above 40. Right now we’re in the ice age again until the next hot flash. This is the fridge of my dreams but it will have to wait. It’s really not in the budget with out trip to Disney World next month. Food poisoning isn’t that bad, right?

Over the weekend we received a letter from the principal at J-Man’s school regarding his attendance. The first sentence went like this “It has come to my attention that the J-Man…….” Really, that the J-Man? Now, we all make mistakes, but when the letter comes from the school, you would expect it to be correct, especially if it’s from the principal. Oh, and for the record, when J-Man is sick, he will stay home. Period.

He has been sick for the past two weeks and didn’t go anywhere during Easter break. He missed the whole week of school before Easter Break also. I sent him back yesterday even though he is still coughing a lot because his pneumonia hasn’t cleared up, he got an ear infection, and he’s on yet another round of stronger anti-biotics. I sent in a note to his teacher explaining how sick he is/has been and when J-Man got home from school I said “Was the teacher happy to see you? Did she ask how you were feeling?” He said “She didn’t say anything. Nobody cared.” I’ll be so glad when 4th grade is over.

Today is the last day to enter our Jake and the Never Land Pirates: Peter Pan Returns” DVD Combo Pack.
