when is it not cool to lunch with your mom?

evidently today! C has a thing at school this morning that I plan on attending & the plan was for me to leave school grab some food and lunch with the kiddo, except maybe "you just drop the food back off you don't need to stay"
giant *sigh*

and even the doghouse gets a new roof

insurance adjuster came to look at the house yesterday and for some reason I had it in my head he was just looking at the roof uh no no the whole house & property and everything that was damaged not just the roof, color me clueless! And while I am so grateful no one was injured and we are all here safe & sound the car and property damage is a pain in the arse to say the least. It was a helluvah storm and we are blessed that that night did not turn out worse than it did.

no doubt opposable thumbs will win this one too

someone around here..either the dog or the kid..needs to be fully trained in the art of making Mommy some coffee in the mornings

what happened to fun field trips?

you know a museum, a ball game, the zoo or an amusement park? 5th grade field trip is to a place called Biztown, it's a Junior achievement thing all the kids get jobs & work for the day...um won't they be out in the real world getting jobs soon enough? or as David pointed out being "wage slaves"
C piped up that this would be fun and I told him I would write that down and remind him in 20 years when he was getting up & going to work everyday!

Happy Mother's Day

but it's kinda hard to get breakfast in bed when you are the first one up in the morning...

all these years....

I thought Ben & Jerry could do no wrong, I was mistaken the Jimmy Fallon Late Night Snack not all that good perhaps they can redeem themselves with Red Velvet Cake

no truer words...

Good decision not 2 release UBL photos. If u doubt he's dead, no photo will satisfy. For the rest of us, Navy Seals don't miss"

it's the soap all over again

one of the first hotel visits with C as a toddler brought forth some hilarity when we reached the wash your hands point....he had never seen a bar of soap before, well not one to wash your hands with I have had decorative soaps but at the house we only have liquid soap for functional purposes.
Last night David sent C out to roll up in the window in the car he has borrowed from his brother while we play musical cars, yup a hand crank roll up the window and it did in fact take C a few minutes and a second trip out to the car to complete the task.

the only downside

to the last minute dinner invite for dinner from MIL would be the fact that I did not cook dinner last night which means there are no leftovers for lunch this afternoon. I am hoping to make my eggplant parmigiana for tonight providing leftovers for tomorrow but with the apocalyptic storms about to roll through there is a possibility we might be without power, so fingers crossed we do not lose electricity.

hair today gone tomorrow

technically it was gone yesterday, I finally reached my tipping point and had my head shaved. I rather shocked the staff at the salon but it was painless on my end. Funnily enough they made me sign something which they assured me was standard anytime a customer was wanting something drastic done, they offered my a big glass of red wine and asked it I would like to go somewhere private. I declined on the private and accepted the wine and it was done. It freaked me out a little once I left the shop but I am very used to wearing hats at this point. MIL did buy me a wig which I need to get trimmed this week finally so I can wear it but the bad doesn't bother a bit. Well the look doesn't, I did find my head got chilly once the AC kicked in at the house, easily fixed by a bandanna. Going to sleep was a bit strange at first I think thread count on my pillowcases is going to be more important than ever but all in all I am happy with my decision. Now fingers crossed it will all grow back in time!
