It's Been Awhile . . .

It's been so long, I'm not quite sure what to write. My internet at home has not really worked for the last 2 months, school started, etc, etc, so I haven't done any posting.

I do have to tell you about clothes shopping with Jarom. He really needed school pants, so he and I found him several pairs to try on. He was in the dressing room with the door closed and I asked him how it was going. He opened the door and told me: "I'm ok with the pants, but the wall rejected them!" I was wondering what he meant by that, then he pointed at the floor and showed me where all the pants had fallen off the hook on the wall onto the floor. He's so funny.

Let's see, what else? Oh, yeah, we went to Amber's SEP conference last night and found out she's the best reader in her class. At the beginning of the year, she's where the school district is hoping she'll be at the end of the year. I knew she was a good reader, but not that good. She's really in to "A Series of Unfortunate Events" books right now.

Meagan is doing all right, I guess. She finally went up to her swim coach and told him she can't run, jog or do lunges around the track because it hurts her knees too much. This was only when Tyler went up with her and MADE her tell the coach. Good for Tyler!

Cameron. Last night he took Jetta out to the backyard. On the way in, he did a roundhouse kick and kicked his shoe up on the roof. Luckily, it rolled off on its own.

And me? I survived David being gone for almost a week. I was so glad when he got back! I do not like being a single parent. As for David, he said he had fun, but says he's not going to Vegas next year. The 7 hour trip with hardly any stops is too much for him. We'll see . . .

My Mom

My mom is so funny. We went to visit my parents last night and took my mom her belated birthday present. Part of it was a little Tigger "action figure" - because my mom loves Tigger. She looked at the box and said, "Ooo . . . ages 3 and up." I said, "I hope you're old enough for it." She answered, "That's debatable."

This morning David told me that last night he used the bathroom at my parents' house. After he came out, my mom asked him if he found any soap in there. He said, no, he hadn't. My mom said, "That's because the soap bottle had an octopus on it, and I couldn't stand to look at it. I've been putting smiley faces over the octopus. You can use the soap now."

I had no idea my mom is anti-octopus. The things you learn. Now I know why my family is so entertaining (at least I think so!).

Someday I'll have to tell you Ray's definition of "nerd." And about his t-shirt collection (Mr. Rodgers, Bob Ross, etc, etc.)

De-Tox

Can I just say that I really hate detoxing? This past month has NOT been fun. I guess I'm going through all this because my kinesiologist is moving and I have to do it sometime?

This week has been BAD. Everyone I know is moving out of my neighborhood. I feel horrible. Work has been CRAZY. The weather has been weird. I guess life could be worse, but I want it to get better.
