Some of you have seen the Not Me Monday schitck that a lot of Bloggers do, and I have to say that I read them and laugh cause hey, I have so totally been there. Most if the ones I read have to do with living with young children so my stuff with my teen and practically preteen just don't seem to fit but there are times when you just have to laugh at the stupid things you do to survive this crazy world. So here are a couple.
I so totally did not take a whole day off for what was supposed to be a major dentist appt. to have them spend less than an hour with me then say hey see you next week, Arrggh that would totally suck I mean the dentist assistant made a big deal about this when I scheduled the appt. I was expecting a long boring wait and lots of pain only to have them practically pat me on the head cause it was nothing. And on top of that they say oh well this is going to be a bunch of little appts thing and not that big a deal. I was actually a little mad that it didn't hurt more. Totally bonkers!!!
I took a second day off for Taryn's graduation that was worth the time off but seeing as part of it was unpaid do to lack of PTO I could have done without the perfect square of Sunburn on my back from sitting in the bleachers at the graduation.
I did not root for the Lakers to lose so that downtown LA would not be a mad house. Then I did not take Monday off cause said win made that day the celebration parade day. Last years was so bad I swore I wouldn't come to work that day again.
I did not take on the cleaning of Zack's room then yell at him when I found all kinds of scary boy stuff under the bed. That would just be silly cause he should be old enough to clean his own room right. HA
And I did venture in to the pit of my own accord right.
But all and all things were pretty good this last week. You notice this time all the looneyness was me.
Some thing to check out.
We had our end of year picnic for Boyscouts last weekend and well I have to say that though it is nice to have a group that is a little more laid back it was totally un organized and pretty much a flop. But we had fun so I guess it did it's job.
But what I want to share is a site that I heard about at the party.( I am better than your kid) www.thebestpageintheuniverse.net/c.cgi?u=irule
We have all had our kids draw, paint and sculpt us things that are just precious to us as parents but don't ask us what they are cause your guess is as good as mine. We love our kids and think they are the best ever but really most of them will not turn out to be the next Monet. The site is a guy who has taken a look around his office and seen our masterpieces for what they really are. Grade F pictures that we would never put up if they weren't from our kids. A potato with stick coming out of it does not make a dog. I guess this has stuck with me a bit cause a few months ago my wonderful HR lady at work decided that they were going to cover some of the bare spots with a children's art instillation. OH WOW really we can't put up off color bumper stickers in our cubicles but they now have aliens shooting laser guns in our lobby. Take a look and see how you grade them. I will give you the ages of the kids who drew them later.
