Back to School

We are on our third day of First Grade and knock on wood everything seems to be going well. Big Cubby has been pretty happy going into school when the bell rings. He is very tired when he gets home from school due to the fact he is not used to being gone all day.

Last night we had a melt down because he was so tired. It was a very difficult night. He told me he liked going to school in the morning but not in the afternoon. He wants to come home after lunch. I explained to him that he would miss all the fun stuff that happens in the afternoon if he came home. I was afraid this morning we would have a meltdown but he was happy and went in to school with no problems.

Big Cubby's new teacher is soooo nice and she has been at the school for a long time so she has seen it all. One of the mother's I talked to said she is the best teacher in the whole school.

So we begin on a good note. It has been awesome around the house while he is in school. It is quiet and not stressful. I am enjoying it. Little Cubby misses BC though.

Here is to a great school year for everybody!!

Scene from the Mall

A couple of weekends ago, we went to the mall to look for Fall clothes for me for my birthday.

While the kids were watching this fountain and Hubby off to get us coffee, I happen to see this family of four that just left the Build-a-Bear Workshop with two newly made bears. The children were two little girls I am guessing 4 years old and 2 years old. The younger in a stroller. The husband and wife stop by the fountain so the little girls could watch while they talked.

I happen to look up and I saw the father's t-shirt. I read it and could not believe my eyes and had to read it again to be sure that was what it said. This is what it said:

Yes I love you, my d**ks hard, isn't

I did not want to write out the d word fully but you get the idea.

I kid you not. This was what a father of two daughters had on his shirt at the mall. I was shocked and it takes a lot to shock me. When Hubby came back with the coffees I told him about it. He could not believe it either.

What possess a grown man with a family to wear something like this? He wasn't young either. What possess a woman to let her husband wear this shirt around their daughters much less let him out of the house with it on?

I am not a prude but having children has made me more aware of things out there that I don't want them to have to deal with. Thank goodness Big Cubby who can read was paying attention to the water fountain.

Some people.

PS. I tried to find it online but could not. I have no idea where he got it or if he had it made personally.

one of those days

If I liked the taste of whiskey I would be drinking a whole bottle right now.

Let's just say I can't wait until school starts in about 8 days.

You Are a Turkey Sandwich

Conservative and a bit shy, you tend to stick with what you know and trust. You are very introverted, and you prefer to blend in whenever possible. Though you may be hard to know well, anyone who does know you considers you a true friend. Your best friend: The Ham Sandwich Your mortal enemy: The Tuna Fish Sandwich

What Kind of Sandwich Are You?

36 years ago

I was born on this day. Yeah, today is my 36th birthday.

So now I am getting old and you know how I can tell besides the wrinkles and gray hair, the 80's are retro and cool now. The JCPenny commerial redoing the Breakfast Club. The great teen movies from the 80's are being repackaged. It is hip with the young people.

So another year another wrinkle.

Oh and the with this picture you would have thought I would have grown up to take my clothes off for money.

Happy Birthday to me!
