Babnanas 9: Something snappy.....Like BACON!!

[LegoMom3]

Kwitch - I say go for the TA thing. Between that and your photography, you'd be doing exactly what you love.



And here's a clown even the most clown phobic couldn't be afraid of.

Aw come on, MQ, is that the best you can do this morning?.....

 

[SadieDog]

That clown is not bad. I can handle that one.

It's been a very rough month. My husband has worked for the same company for over 20 years and for the 1st time, he was laid off for a month. Since my daughter sucked us dry, we did not have much to fall back on. I just keep telling myself to consider myself lucky it's only a month and think about all the people who have been out of work for extended periods.

Unfortunately I'm not working this week. It's school vacation and the husband of the family I work for took the week off. I'll be busy for a few days anyway. Tomorrow my husband has a colonoscopy and Thursday my son has oral surgery. Not only is he having his 4 wisdom teeth out, but 2 molars as well. He is going to be miserable.

SadieDog - I'm sorry things are so rough job wise. You still seem to have such an amazing attitude about it. I hope your guys make it through their medical procedures with minimum stress on your part.

Thank you! No matter how much things....well...suck , I remind myself of those who have it worse. I also like to find humor is all situations. Like when my son was at a friend's house my husband and I joked that maybe we should call him and tell him not to come home until after he eats supper with his friend b/c there's not much to eat when he gets home. OK so I have a strange sense of humor. He will be back to work soon.

...wow. *sniff* ...that's....*sniff* ...the NICEST thing....*sniff*, *sniff*...that anyone's ever....*sniff*...DONE for me.

 

[kimmar067]

It's not Sunday. So I can post monkeys and clowns. Better start looking for clown pictures.

...heh-heh-heh. ...................

 

[kimmar067]

.... now, where are my LOBSTAHS????

 

[LegoMom3]

.... now, where are my LOBSTAHS????

I think that should be SadieDog's department.....after all, she IS from Maine.

So I just got an e-mail from DS12's teacher. He got caught cheating (or, rather, attempting to) on a quiz today. Some girl was writing down the answers and in the process of sneaking them to him, they were both busted.


HONESTLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just when DS15 starts to calm down, now this one is acting up.

Calgon take me away!!

-------------

ETA: This is DS's version the Great Cheating Scandal of '12.....He was the last one finishing the quiz; everyone else was done and doing other things. He got to a problem he didn't understand how to do, so this girl was supposedly showing him "how", not outright giving him the answer. I explained that during a quiz is not the time to be asking a classmate for help.... I also asked him if he could see the teacher's point of view in thinking he was just outright cheating, and he does. So, he's lost some stuff here and has detention on Thursday, and I think after that we'll let it go. Lesson learned.

.

 

[SadieDog]

LegoMom, you had a good conversation with your son and he has detention. I would let it go after that too.

 

[Mean Queen]

LM - I feel your pain. DD12 is getting very good at lying to us. DH and I each asked her today how she did on a test, she told us both she didn't get the grade back. Then I ask her outright if she retook the test because she was acting a little off. She admitted she hadn't then tried to say she didn't remember telling us that she said she took the test, that wasn't what she meant, blah blah blah.

 

[kwitcherkicken99]

I CAN wait for us to reach that age...



Glad he could see the teacher's side and realizes what he did wasn't what he should have done.

MQ - does your school have an online grading system set up for that age group? Ours starts at high school, which IMO is too late, but it sure is sweet.

 

[kwitcherkicken99]

I'm home with a sick DD3 today. She's running a super high temperature but NOTHING is coming out. No snot, stool, vomit... she's just burning up. She hasn't eaten much the last couple of days and has been drinking. I'm not sure what to think is going on with her. I'm going to take her to the clinic this afternoon. I want to wait out the morning to see if we end up with any *ahem* fireworks.

Poor thing is miserable. She cracks me up though. The night before last, she was complaining that her eyes hurt so I dampened a washcloth and put it over her eyes. To her, it was a miracle cure. Now, she's been running around the house asking for her washcloth to put on her head. Ah the healing powers of a bit of cloth!

Happy Ash Wednesday as well! Yesterday I told DH "happy Fat Tuesday" and his response was, "What's so fat about Tuesday?" He didn't realize that today starts Lent! I'll have to get some fish fillets thawing, unless he votes for cheese pizza tonight.

It also cracked me up yesterday when a colleague was over the moon that yesterday was Mardi Gras. She exclaimed, "WAHOO!!! 40 days to spring break!"

 

[MichaelGau]

Nice one!!!

 

[daisyyy]

Hellllloooooo. 'member me??? I miss you guys. just so darned busy with things changing at work, and home is insane. I'm with you LM... Where is that Calgon when you need it. I'm feeling a migraine coming on, but hopefully I took a couple tylenols to ward it off. Why didn't anyone tell me 4 kids was a lot... oh wait.. people did tell me.... why didn't I listen? I love my kids to death... but they are killing me.... Feeling overwhelmed with them sometimes.. especially the boys... they just fight about everything.... anytime one of them has something the other has to have it at the same time.. and literally a physical altercation takes place... why can't they just leave each other alone for the next 8-10 years??? My DD's think I'm the chaffeur... and don't think they need to help .... is it too much to ask to wash the dishes they use?? nah.. it's easier to let mom do it after a long day at work... Oh well.... no really.. I didn't stop in here to moan and groan.... just really wanted to say HI.... Hope you all had a nice Valentine's day... Are you all watching survivor again?? or Top Shot... love that show.... my DS... can't wait to watch it everyweek, but he always falls asleep on it... Anybody know what happened to our winter? we had no snow to talk about... and I kinda missed it.. was hoping for a good one or two to get snowed in for a night.. just build a fire and have a snow day off of work... oh well.... I could skip right over spring though and get to summer... looking forward to getting outside and enjoying the sun... Can't wait. well, I've got an evaluation to do now.. gotta run.. I'll be back!

Reading what you wrote about your children made me smile. Okay it actually made me laugh. I have four as well. But mine are now adults. (where did the time go?) But I am so crazy in love with them it sometimes amazes me. Hubby and I both feel sooo incredibly........BLESSED. THEY LIKE US, THEY WANT TO SPEND TIME WITH US. They grew up being told that we are an unbroken circle. (We will always be there for each other) The circle just stretches to include who they fall in love with. And our circle is stretching. So hang in there. Before you know it......You'll be amazed too.


And to the rest of ya'll......I do not mean to make my children sound like angels. They weren"t. But we all survived. Ya'll will too. REALLY!! And you just might be very pleasantly surprised at the adults you end up with.
