first of many friday nights to come?

had to stay up and wait for C to get home from a football game.

bless her heart

I don't think the Governor answered a single question put forth to her did she? I gave up around 10 o'clock and went to bed. She clearly can handle herself in a debate but come on the bar was set pretty low. I seriously doubt any one's mind was changed last night but they should have been. If republicans wanted a woman in the VP slot they could have poked around a little more to find a more qualified woman to fill the position.

not getting away with nuthin'

so little boy didn't hand something in yesterday-I guess all he can manage of behaving & doing all of his work is 1 week at a time. I must admit I probably did overreact & lit into him then I made him call both of his grandmothers to tell them he had a bad day. For the past week he has been calling them to let them know how well he had been doing so I wanted him to know the flip side was going to happen when he screwed up. And I keep saying screwed up but it was 1 assignment and I know this will be an ongoing issue but I would like him mostly on the straight & narrow as far as school is concerned.
the funny thing is C "accidentally" called and left the message on my mom's cell phone not the home phone which is the only number we ever call when calling my folks. My mom has a cell really only for emergencies she hardly ever uses the thing and never mind texts or even checking her voice mail for that matter!

I thought the boy was cured

from the whole allergies thing! Wasn't the surgery last year suppose to fix everything? No apparently not because the debilitating allergy season in K-town conquers all in it's path. Got a phone call from the school clinic this afternoon at around 2.15 C had a belly ache-it's all about the sinus/allergy crap we go through this every fall so I told him to go back to class for the last 1/2 hour & I would leave work to pick him up from daycare early. There was no way to make it from work & pick him up without getting caught in the bus & car lines at pick up and quite frankly no not for a vague sort of bellyache anyway. I fell for that once just once last year and no more. And he knows that so I was concerned he was already back to slacking off at school but a quick email from his teacher reassured me he had a good day academically. He came home & slept for a bit had the "sick" dinner of toast, applesauce & ginger ale then after a shower declared himself cured.

who says

everybody should own a home? I know someone who should not have been given a home loan and surprise surprise surprise they defaulted on the loan & lost the house not at all shocking when you look at their financial history. I am by no means perfect and am well aware circumstances for folks can change on a dime but a little common sense would not hurt the industry!
When we married both David & I had less than stellar credit but we worked to improve it so we could buy a decent house. And when the time came to purchase we bought a house we could afford not the mortgage we were approved for!
oh and stop asking me if I would like to open a credit card every time I purchase something! First of all if I wanted a credit card I would ask and secondly 10% which while is a discount it's only the tax so not much of a savings in the long run!

too much time checking my email

because I have 6 accounts including work school & personal stuff!
Seriously it seems a bit excessive..not to mention trying to remember what password goes with which email.

little boy is growing up

the big bedroom purge on C's bedroom has begun!
We are cleaning out everything so that the bunk beds & desk MIL is purchasing for him will actually fit into his room. There are tons of toys that he just doesn't even look at any longer never mind play with. C has the ball rolling with 3 garbage bags full, if I had the time I would do a garage sale but we are going to stick with Goodwill this time. I did have to rescue a few items Shrek & his little elephant/rattle were 2 things I couldn't part with!
