Okay, who missed me??
It's been a pretty busy couple of days here. Instead of the usually Lou-recap of the day....I'm going to give you all the "Stephanie-recap of my week"
Let's see....where to begin:
report cards came out this week, Patrick missed HIGH honors by a "C" in GYM....when I called the gym teacher (yeah, I think we all know I am THAT mother) he said Patrick got a C because he missed 3 gym classes and didn't make them up. UHHHHH, well, nobody ever told us about making up GYM CLASS!!!! So....Neil and I have spent that last 3 days *****ing about the school system, and trying to decide what we're going to do. This is the 3rd incident in 3 months that has left us scratching our heads. The concept of No Child Left Behind falls squarely on the parents here in our school district. I know....I know.....we're talking about GYM class.....but I have to tell you all that Patrick was devastated...he was a crying mess.....and Patrick is NOT a crier....sigh...it's not easy being a mom.
Today...I spent two hours this morning at my parents' house while the fireplace guy installed the new blower in the fireplace. While I was gone, someone came into my house. How do I know this??? Funny you should ask.....there were wet footprints on the new kitchen floor....PLUS....the toilet seat was UP!!!!!!!! Stop laughing.....I've called all the likely culprits...my DB, my DF, my DH....nobody was here....so I figure in case I go upstairs tonight and find that all of my underwear is missing, I better call the police department. So...I call the local PD, and as luck would have it the Chief himself answers. I relay my story, tell him I'm sure it's someone we know, who happened to be in the area, but I just wanted to put it on record in case anything DID come of it....his response...."Well, if it were me hun, I would have left a note...AND put the seat down!!!" gotta love living in a small town.
Guess we now need to lock our doors...that's just not going to be good for me and my midnight tequilla driven escapades to the neighbors house (*makes mental note to copy MORE house keys*)
Hmmmmm...what else??? Nothing much other than I'm still trying to figure out how the rat/squirrel got into my house...but more importantly WHY he/she picked my house. Why is it we always assume rats are male????
Yeah, that's a topic for another day.
So, in closing, for your viewing pleasure, I've added a new picture of Jr. and a new feature to my signature for your enjoyment....a little aside I like to call "Jr. Says:" Now I know MOST of you totally won't get this, but for those of you that do.....there's nothing like listening to JR on the radio when he's racing......pure enjoyment!!!!
Oh yeah, thanks Lou for planting the fondue virgin thread in my mind..guess what we're having for dinner??????
Guess that's all for now from the snowy north. How's that for good use of white space Lou?? Gotta give me a bit of a break, I'm a designer...I LIKE WHITE SPACE!!!!!
Matthew would have been freaking out too........I'm glad that you're the type of parents that are involved & care about ther kids education.
In a way she has a point, but don't tell her I said that. And lock your doors! That would scare the you-know-what out of me!
