never mind

what I said last year!
fried oreos are the way to go!

tooth fairy

oops forgot to leave her a note or send an email last night.....
C swallowed the one he lost yesterday so she had know way of knowing to stop which is what indeed happened with the very first tooth he lost when he was 4 yes he started early, my mutant baby.
So what does the fairy leave at your house? personally I got a quarter when I was a kid but with inflation and all she leaves a dollar at out house these days

9/11

today has been a day like any other in my life lately, get kiddo up, breakfast,lunch, on the bus, go to class, work, back to school, grocery store, make dinner, start laundry...life goes on.
I was fortunate not to have lost anyone that day but if you are up for a good cry(and we all know I can tear up at the drop of a hat)head over to a beautiful letter /metrodad wrote to a friend he lost in the Twin Towers a mere 7 years ago.

the stuff they don't get

C was singing or his version of "rapping" something about mother with a different mother yesterday morning, I believe it was meant to be brother with a different mother but it was not something I was going to correct or explain at 6.30 in the morning.
This morning he was going on about mother of a different color so I pointed out the he indeed had a mother of a different color and wherever he picked that up it wasn't meant to be nice thing

do you ever lose blogs?

or I should say bloggers that you enjoy reading?When I am stalking reading blogs I follow I tend to follow links or check out what other people like to read and quite often I find new people to stalk follow my problem comes when I forget to bookmark them and then there is the some are bookmarked at home, some at work and some I think oh I'll just remember them and in fact I rarely do. I thought about adding a bunch to my blogroll and I still might but that might takeover my whole blog all by itself

kids are stupid

so C is friends with a boy who is disabled/developmentally challenged I have no idea what PC term is currently being used. I was talking with the boy's grandmother this morning at the bus stop (she is raising the child and in my opinion should be up for sainthood!) and she asked if C had mentioned anything about the older kids taking pictures with a cell phone. The bottom line being the older kids are making fun of this little boy taking his photo, having him laugh into the cell & recording it and maybe taking pictures of the other little kids as well. So I need to ask C about it this afternoon and I tell you I am tempted to tell him to kick somebody's a** tomorrow but I won't for many reasons. I am not concerned with C's ability to take care of himself he has been well versed never to start a fight but he damn well better finish one if someone starts in with him. Ultimately he is very sweet natured & mean kids have always seem to bewilder him. C just can't understand what they have to be nasty about and admittedly neither can I. And while we're at it why does anyone that young need a cell phone?

fall ball

C had his first baseball game of the fall season yesterday he had base hit, a walk & hit by a ball, it was a good game and his team managed to come from behind & tie it up 10-10 apparently a tie being as good as a win in this league. He has moved up to the Roberto Clemente which is coach pitch for 2 innings then move to kid pitch. It really changes the game for them as they learn, I suppose the key is to score as much as you can the first 2 innings or hope you can get runs walked in as the kids start to pitch which helped our team, that one child was a pretty bad pitcher. You had to feel sorry for him he was trying but it just wasn't working out for him. C knows he is not very good at pitching and shows no real interest which is good David & I have seen way too many episodes of Real Sports that have focused on how pitching hurts young kids! Plus it seems to fall under the odd category of things David did in his youth that he doesn't want C to do-pitch or play football in that category currently. I think he plays 3rd base very well and David thinks he is better in the outfield, although he is pretty strong as catcher I guess we'll see they still move the kids around each inning in this league.
I am curious about the no gum rule this is the first time we have come across it chewing tobacco ok but gum?
