In less than 2 months we’re supposed to be going to Disney World to pick up our daughter. She’s down there doing an internship and having lots of fun. As you might expect, our 2 younger children are excited, but\u00a0one of them, our\u00a06 year old, J-Man, has a few concerns. You see, he will celebrate his 7th birthday while we are there. Most children would be\u00a0excited beyond belief. I mean, really, could it get any better than that, celebrating your birthday at Disney World?\u00a0 Not J-Man, he’s worried about a few things, like getting gypped out of a kids party and presents. I managed to convince him that we would have a kids party for him after we got home and he finally seemed okay with it then the matter of the prize box came up.\u00a0Apparently, when it’s your birthday at school, Mrs. G, his teacher, has a prize box and the birthday child gets to pick out a prize. It’s a big deal and\u00a0he’s worried\u00a0he’s not going to get his prize. I assured him\u00a0that his teacher would let him get his prize. Then he was worried his teacher would pass out the book order forms\u00a0while we’re away and he’d miss a new Skippy Jon Jones<\/strong><\/em> book.\u00a0Fortunately, he came home with\u00a0the book orders last week\u00a0and there are two<\/em> new Skippy Jon Jones<\/strong><\/em> books to buy.\u00a0 Phew!\u00a0I think we’ve got his concerns about Disney taken care of, but I’m pretty sure he’ll come up with some more before we leave.<\/p>\n

Sissy has discovered The Amazing Race<\/strong><\/em> this season and looks forward to watching it every Sunday night with me. If you’re a fan of the show, then you recall that last week’s episode involved a member of each team racing through Siberia in their underwear. This brought up lots of unexpected underwear questions from my daughter. One of the women on the show said “I don’t wear underwear.”<\/p>\n

Sissy: \u00a0“She doesn’t wear underwear? Why doesn’t she wear underwear?”<\/p>\n

Me: “Ummm, I’m not sure? But that’s kinda gross.”<\/p>\n

Sissy: “Ya, that’s gross.”<\/p>\n

The we had the blond flight attendant running in her thong and every time they showed her from the back, her bottom was blurred.<\/p>\n

Sissy: “What do you think happened to her underwear to rip like that? Do you think she fell?”<\/p>\n

Me: “No, she didn’t fall and\u00a0they’re not ripped. They’re supposed to be that way.”<\/p>\n

Sissy: “Ewww! Why would anyone wear underwear like that.”<\/p>\n

Me: “Ummmm, they think it looks better under their pants.”<\/p>\n

Sissy: “Oh.”<\/p>\n

Today, Sissy got home from school and said she had an “almost perfect day.” I’m thinking, hey, that’s pretty good, almost perfect. I never get that. Apparently, her almost perfect and my almost perfect are two different things. Then she told me that she got bitten by a third grader\u00a0on the bus ride home. That was what ruined her perfect day. She was sitting in the front seat and there were only a few kids on the bus. The driver was in the middle of the aisle talking to some boys and they were waiting for more kids to get on. Then this little third grader came over near Sissy and opened the bus driver’s personal compartment. Sissy asked her what she was doing and the little girl said she was looking for Jolly Ranchers.\u00a0Now Sissy can be a little like Spongebob in The Hall Monitor episode, so she took it upon herself to tell the little girl that she couldn’t get anything out of there and closed the lid. Then held it down so the little girl couldn’t open it. That’s when she got bitten on her arm. Thank goodness she had on her winter coat so it didn’t really do too much damage. But really, you’d think a third grader would be past the biting stage.<\/p>\n

I’ve realized Facebook is draining a lot of my time out of my day.\u00a0 I’ve been sucked in to what people are doing, who’s saying what, and who’s writing on who’s wall.\u00a0 I joined Facebook for more traffic for the blog, but ended up filling out notes, and sending people cyber crap, I don’t understand it either<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Working out is not fun.\u00a0 Maybe to some people it is, but to me, it just sucks.\u00a0\u00a0I sweat, get out of breath, and ache all over.\u00a0 Plus I don’t ever see results!\u00a0 I don’t know,\u00a0maybe I’m suppose to eat better too.\u00a0 I’m taking a vitamin now, what more do I need to do?<\/p>\n

What causes jealousy?\u00a0 Do you start to get jealous when you start to get older?\u00a0 Maybe after you’ve had a couple kids?\u00a0 I don’t know what causes it, but I DON’T like it!\u00a0 I was never jealous, I mean never, but now, I’m a head spinning, pea soup hurling maniac.\u00a0 Where’d that come from and how do I cure it?\u00a0 Please don’t tell me to work out more, I don’t like that either.<\/p>\n

I realized tonight that my 10 year old is embarrassed to be seen with me.\u00a0 At 10!\u00a0 Isn’t that a bit early?\u00a0 We were going into his band\/chorus concert, and he walked about 30 ft ahead of me!\u00a0 I wasn’t wearing yoga pants or anything, I was still dressed up from work.\u00a0 It probably didn’t help that I kept yelling at him to slow down, etc.\u00a0 That’s probably why he sped up and went right into the school!<\/p>\n

It also doesn’t matter if I come to his school events.\u00a0 There I sat alone, waiting for my husband and youngest son to get there.\u00a0 I went early because our oldest had to be there 45 minutes before the concert.\u00a0 And along comes the band to come in and sit, I see my son, say his name and wave.\u00a0 Guess what he says to me, “Where’s Dad?”.<\/em>\u00a0 Not hi Mom, just “Where’s Dad? <\/em>”\u00a0 Which I replied with, “they’ll be here any minute don’t worry<\/em>“.\u00a0 So what am I?\u00a0 Apparently not as important as Dad.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
