hooky

yes D& I played hooky yesterday-ok so we actually took vacation days but that makes us sound so responsible & all and we can't have that. After dropping the boy at school I had & facial & massage to start my day compliments of D. I had never been to Oasis but if you are in the Ktown area I highly recommend it-excellent service, I did not pay an arm & a leg and the up selling was kept to a minimum. On to a quick sushi lunch at Gohan-Ya, no alcohol please because our next stop was meeting a friend at the gun range. Yes people I have shot my first handgun, didn't drop it or kill anyone in fact the boys said I hit target about 85% of the time-I think I improved once I stopped shutting my eyes when I pulled the trigger. It was not as horrible as I thought it would be and by the time we left I was much more comfortable with the whole thing than when we went in and most likely I will go again. I must admit V's 9mm was easier to handle than D's 40cal oh look gun talk I may be a southerner after all! I know C is itching to try but he has a few years before D will take him to the range. On the upside I think I range membership is what D will get for his b-day this year. Then it was off for a pitcher of margaritas to round out the afternoon. And a movie last night Bourne Ultimatum was great or maybe it was just great to see a regular movie at the theater but I enjoyed it. C went to his grandmother's last night for an evening of chuck e cheese, pizza & dvds He has been retrieved and we are off the the ball field for his first game in the machine pitch league.

how cute

C got his first phone call last night from one of his new buddies in 2nd grade. Big discussion of yu-gi-oh cards ensued.

mommy guilt to start the day

C woke up this morning with a headache, bellyache & complaining that he did not sleep very well last night. Not such a huge shock he had symptoms last night but I hoped a shot of motrin & an early night would clear all of that up, unfortunately no.. Normally my schedule is flexible and I could stay home with him or my mil lives less than 5 minutes away and she happily will take him for the day. Except today, I have class-my first class not something I can really skip & mil is in NYC for a few days., so I feel guilty sticking my husband with the sick kid for the day which is ridiculous, he is a hands on father who in fact had more experience with babies than I did when C was born, he has flex days to burn they "expire" in October and one of the reasons he saves them is just in case someone gets sick & he needs to take a day. So why do I feel guilty???

I'm nervous

and excited, after an 18 year sabbatical I am going back to school tomorrow. It's just one class to start with for right now and hopefully it won't be too taxing I am still working full time & running around after C which is equally a full time job. I figure I can study at tae kwan do and baseball games and I know both my boys are supportive of my decision and will help anyway they can. C is cute letting me know there is nothing to be nervous about"it's just school mommy!"

although...

he could fall back on a rasslin career
