sentimental or just weird?

the collection of baby teeth in my sock drawer? why was I saving them?
Yup those have to go!

certain stereotypes die hard

Nazis were bad guys. Always the "good" villian on televsion or in a film and they should have sharp features, menacing eyes and a severe German accent. I just don't think Tom Cruise is going to fit the bill for me so pretty sure I'll will be skipping Valkyrie

the case of the missing gloves

let's get Nancy Drew on this asap!
I bought 6 new pairs of gloves in the beginning of November. New pairs because God only know where all of the pairs I bought last season went to. And yes C grabbed the last available pair this morning! This is not new and each year I threaten him with having to buy his own gloves if he doesn't start finding some of the missing gloves but it's not usually so early in the season.
He better watch out or Santa is only going to bring gloves not toys.

christmas request #276

C wants "one of those insect phones"

muffins for mommy

and more importantly they had coffee for mommy at school this morning! We must be moving up in the world it was actually good coffee & they had real creamer, unlike the primary school who only ever offered the powdered stuff. I wonder if we'll get flavored creamer by the time we hit the intermediate school? and then who knows Bailey's Irish Creme at the high school? I don't know if I missed an email or a flyer but they were also trying to raise money for the Empty Stocking Fund, a very worthwhile cause and I was grateful for the freak coincidence of having cash in my wallet that I could donate, it didn't look like they were taking credit cards. My only complaint would be some of the parents seemed unaware that the parking lot is considered part of the school zone. Wow slow down you idiots! and sadly David no I don't think they have a donuts for dad morning...dads once again the short end of the stick.

peanut butter

if I had only known the ridiculous amounts of peanut butter that would be consumed in this household I would have bought stock in a peanut farm. Personally I can't stand the stuff I'll eat it maybe once a year by choice or by necessity if I haven't been shopping. The boys on the other hand have been know to eat the stuff by the spoonful, C has it each & every day for lunch and it is a frequent breakfast ingredient as well hence the need for the 20 gallon jug of pb. Even oscar loves the stuff! After watching a program on sandwich shops this weekend the boys are all about Peanut butter & Co. A little pricey but luckily available at local supermarkets, it'll be be a treat and not everyday pb and most certainly not offered to the dog! The dark chocolate & cinnamon raisin swirl have been huge hits so far selection has been limited so we may have to order the maple, honey & spicy kinds online. Maybe Santa will bring some...

the wearing of dead animals

I am not taking any sort of moral stance here come on I wear leather, am a meat eater, in fact my favorite meat is little milk-fed baby cows that aren't allowed to walk so while I have zero desire to own one the idea of a mink coat does not offend terribly much. I am however curious about the when & where of well wearing them. the Kroger? or perhaps the full length mink on campus this morning? Now maybe she was going to a lunch
or something but the coat just seemed a little out of place on the campus of a community college. I'm thinking if I owned a mink it would only get worn on special occasions, out to dinner, social functions maybe church not just roaming around town but who knows if I had one I might indeed where it everywhere...

glad we only have the one

because he won't stop talking to me, following me, asking questions, asking for food, can he have a hug, what about television, can he play computer, can he join this web site, what about that one, ohhh what can he do now, is it time for dinner yet, what are we having? Oh my God if I had more than one person doing this today I would wind up in a sanatorium. Heck if the one I got does not stop soon I might wind up there yet. Although if there were another rugrat maybe they could bug each other and leave Mommy alone?
