the MOVIE

several months ago C was chatting with his cousin (niece #2) and his grandmother when he brought up the MOVIE which you see this year at school, his knowledge seemed limited to "you grow hair EVERYWHERE" then he turned bright red and I believe that was the end of the discussion. He never brought it up to me & David and we figured we would take the wait and see approach for time being . Well permission slips came home for the MOVIE which is this week, there was more talk of hair that grows everywhere and it looks like David gets to have the TALK with C this weekend. Oh lord give me strength

feeling nostalgic

some friends just had their first child and our 2 year old grand-nephew is in town visiting so the fact the my baby is close to being as tall as me, will be turning 11 this year and starting middle school next fall has been pulling a little on my heart strings a wee bit. It seems like just yesterday we were bringing him home from the hospital as we left the hospital both David & I left with the wild sort of feeling...you mean they are just going to let us walk out of here & take this tiny human home with us?

hoarder in training

my garage is moments away from being declared a national emergency site and yet I managed 3 bags of trash in less than a 1/2 hour this morning! Imagine what I could do with a whole hour? Ah who knows it's coffee and catch up on my DVR time now

my new favorite word

or rather slang would be bougie
no idea why but niece #1 & niece #2 use it frequently and for some reason it has struck my fancy this week

what is up with all the April birthdays?

always popular in my family growing up we would celebrate my brother, father, grandmother, grandfather & an uncle's birthday all on one day of course with all those names to fit a large cake was required. With the advent of facebook and the tab that let's me know when folks have a birthday I am amazed at the amount of people I know with April birthdays which would make conception what in the summer months? Would have thought more babies would be conceived during colder months.

grammer 101

I have no problems with they're & their however when we get affect & effect I'm lost. I am also incapable of spelling restaurant with out spell check.

the town crier

twice in the last week I was asked how I was feeling as I had been sick, these were folks I do not know well enough to have told about any kind of sickness. I had a day where I had eaten something that did not particularly agree we me and we will leave it at that. Evidently MIL had been sharing my ailment to what detail I have no idea and I do not want to know.

the bendy straw

growing up that was the standard of sickness. You would get ginger ale with a bendy straw that was the only time you would have access to bendy straw at the house so of course same goes in my household. In spite of current circumstances we really do not have much cause for the use of bendy straws but we always seemed to have several boxes on hand just in case, in case of what I am not sure but with the near constant weird medical oddities David has suffered recently we have almost exhausted our bendy straw supplies, guess I'll need to add that to this week's grocery list and here is to hoping they will sit in a kitchen cupboard unopened & unneeded for quite some time!

probably not very PC of me me but

I am particularly cranky today, overly cranky& it would seem and lot is getting under my skin a lot that should probably not. So very cranky that I even had to stop and asked my self good grief is it PMS?

early warning system

at 4:21ish this morning I got woken up with the news that C heard a train sound and was that a tornado so should we all pile into the bathroom....however this train sound was indeed um just a train we live close enough to to tracks to hear trains all the time. Thanks to my my budding meteorologist for looking out for us!
