I wasn't hungry

till I told D to throw away the rest of the pizza...
We are off to "yankee" land in the very early a.m. sadly our touristy plans for the statue of liberty have been thwarted because I couldn't get tickets, but you can't get in the crown or anything anyway these days. next year I'll know to get tix way in advance. I did pacify C with a substitution of the museum of natural history, he just saw night at the museum when we went to FL so that was ok in his book.

connor's story of the day

on their little field trip to the local park with the spray/splash pad today while the kids were playing the lunches were sitting in the shade and when they went to eat connor discovered a giant hole in the bottom of his bag. upon further exploration his sandwich was missing and as his teacher looked around she saw a squirrel running off with half of connor's peanut butter sandwich! luckily everyone chipped in to share their lunch with connor.

mondays suck!

as I sit here finishing a glass of wine & debating with myself whether or not I need to open a bottle..my guess is I'd wake up with a hangover & have a crappy tuesday as well! So odd little illness all weekend didn't accomplish anything I wanted to do, we are road tripping to CT on Saturday so I do have lots to do to get ready all of which I now need to get crammed in this week by thursday in fact, that is my goal to be ready to go thursday so I don't run around like an idiot on friday, stay up late then we don't get on the road at a decent hour. That includes tae kwan do & a dinner with mil-hey not having to cook never a bad thing!
Took dog to vet & has a double ear infection, poor little guy it's kind of like having an infant all over again because they can't tell you what hurts & that kills me. So drops & antibiotics he should be fine. It made me late for work and sort of out of sorts even further. Plus there is some goofiness at work that is seriously making me cranky in an evil & hateful sort of way which I just need to bottle which makes me crankier..
Then in a moment of goofing off got on a local forum to find myself begin trashed-well the way I do my job anyway, so I de-lurked for the first time, responded, stewed for awhile then felt better. Few wonderful people that I know came into to defend my honor & quite frankly I have no idea who this idiot is so why ruin my day? any further that is..
Then pick C up at daycare/summer camp whatever you want to call it his teacher hands me his cap gun-not really allowed..Which is what we freaking told the kid I am grateful it was just daycare & not school hell knox county has a zero-tolerance thing he'd probably get expelled & lord knows we can't afford private school & yes snob that I m not excited about the "alternative" school. So no tv, ninento ds, breathing you know the basics for a week & I've taken the cap gun away period end of story. When I calmed down had to do the mommy& daddy still love you, responsibility for actions speech blah blah blah, which quite frankly I never got as a child, I'll bet D never got as a child or any of our friends got, when did it all go PC? I really hate yelling at him or punishing him I always feel like the worst mom in the world, clearly he needs boundaries etc
wow I am this rambly & only one glass of wine, I'm getting old...
