Things overheard in my kitchen

What does it mean when I hear #3 son ask #1 son "How do you spell dismemberment?"?!? (Remember, #3 is the 10 yr old)

Hmmmm

Terrible Tuesday? I hope not. Hubby may already have another company lined up. Cross the fingers and toes. I've become to friendly with my snooze button. Apparently, after I hit it 4 times it stops. Oops. #3 son had to get me up today. I have things I should do today, but I'm having a big case of meh. Why do today what you can do tomorrow? Haha. Okay, never mind. I'm moving now.

BAH Monday

Monday has struck again. Hubby just got informed he is being laid off. I reserve the right to be pissy until I pick #3 son from school. Now I have to go organize something before I pound the keys off this keyboard.

Monday

Hello Monday. Not so bad so far. #3 son on school patrol this week. He was ready to go at 8 am. haha. Didn't need to be there until 825 and school is a 2 min drive away. The frost was very beautiful this morning. It's still heavy on the trees.

This is the view from my window. I'm busy doing a whole lot of procrastinating today. Exhausting. Actually, I think I'll work on Lil' Bit's blankie. TTFN



2011

I've been reflecting again. No I have not become a mirrored surface. I've been thinking. Yeah, I know, dangerous territory. I've realized 2011 will be a big year for me. #1 son should graduate from high school (fingers crossed people). #1 son also will legally become an adult. Yeppers, the big 18. Is he ready? Probably. Is #1 mommy? NO! #2 son will be 16. Old enough to drive, but no learners yet. None of the 5 children have a learners yet. Yes, I said 5. I now count I.S. (se previous posts for I.S.) as he seems to require our *cough* wisdom as parents. #3 son will enter middle/junior high school. (I'm soooo not ready). #1 grandbaby will turn 1. #1 mommy turns ..... drumroll please ...... 40! Ewwweeee. 40? really? Crapsticks. My dear, long time, friend will turn 40 26 days before me. I think we should do something cool together. Something to celebrate 40 years of life and almost 35 years of friendship. But I have no idea what. Any suggestions? It would seem that my mind has rejoined reality. Bah. I was having more fun being absent.

I am currently watching a documentary on the making of Silence of the Lambs. Kinda icky, but interesting.

Argh

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH! There. Now that I have that out of my system, I'm going to play a board game with #3 son.

Today is the day

I'm having post tramatic stress. As in I'm not sure what to post on my blog. Yesterday I was waiting for #3 son to get out of school. I had grand baby so we were waiting in the toasty warm jeep. 8 mins into the wait I'm fiddling with the radio only to hear a horrific CRACK! Huh? I look up to see a loverly crack has formed on the bottom center of the windshield. As the horrible cracky/poppy noise continues I have visions of the whole windshield falling in my lap. I have thoughts of "HOLY CRAP (profanitiy cleaned up for sensitive readers) HOW do I drive home with a wind shield in my LAP!!" I have a vivid imagination. Said windshield did not land in lap. Yeah! crack sprawled about 8 inches and arched back down. I guess it's done. I was just asking hubby 2 weeks ago if the windshield was covered for all the nicks we have and if we should get it replaced. He goes NAH, it doesn't need replacing. Yeah, right, not 2 weeks ago. Now, maybe.
I'm going to find something joyful to do. *sigh*

internet

Ha! So my internet went on vacation for 2 weeks. Nice. I didn't even get invited. Got to visit my mom lots since I was doing my important internet stuff at her house. The grand baby gets more beautiful every time I see her. My 3 boys are still rangy. I'm still working in the blankie but it goes slow since it seems the more time I have to do stuff the more stuff I have to do. I've been getting the urge to go driving lately. No particular place, just drive and see where I end up. I still have silly hollyhocks still trying to grow. Don't they know it's time to die now? I cleaned up the other 2 gardens for winter. Most people get what's called spring fever, I get fall fever. I want to go out before the snow hits. I want the house ready for us to be shut in for 4 - 5 months. I enjoy the sights, sounds, and smells of fall. Medium is on tv now so I'm going to watch that now. Bye.
