Good Gracious she's Googling Again!


You know.... they just roll their eyes at me.....

I ummm you know am not quite 40, but am really close....like two steps from the edge of the cliff close.
You know, the age where if you asked your parent what a word was, the inevitable response was... "Go look it up in the dictionary." and if you were lucky you had a set of encyclopedias to check as well... or the alternative was a trip to either the school library or the local public branch.
Hey, I try to keep up with the times, slightly... so being such a "trendy momma" when they ask me that I say "Google it". I get more heat for this...

I can't even finish my sentence...they start waving their arms and being comedians..

"We know google it!" Oh Yeah.... the're REALfunny. I remember thinking how cool it would be when they got finally got past knock knock jokes in 1st grade and the hilarity that would ensue.... Ummm - hummm.... makes ya long for a knock knock joke. Just you wait... I am going to get one of those new fangled recording de-vices so you can see what I have to deal with..

I'll post it here.

Silly kids.You know you think they would know better then to mess with a momma who wore "toughskins". Yep. You know the ones- the greens ones ya just "hadta" have. The lesser of the evils of that round Sears rack you were forced to spend perusing on a sweaty Saturday afternoon at Sears.
So what do you catch heat from your brood for?

Lots of mistakes......

So my DD took a class last year in high school. Child & Family blah blah something. Should have known this would be trouble.
This is my creative organized child with just a tad of OCD.
Result?
A really responsible, yet sometimes slightly annoying girl ...eh, but ya' know.. That combo kinda works :D
So, uh, she said I really like this class. I have learned a bunch of things....and , stops mid sentence and says "You have done a lot of things wrong as a parent."

Naw...Really? .... "Dear; that's a given, but thank you for sharing."
What else can you do...? Feign surprise? "Who me?" Please! I had to bite my lip as I tried not to laugh uncontrollably. Cause you know once you start thinking of all the things you have done your not going to be able to stop for a while and then the tears start rolling down your face and please, please don't let a snort sneak in there cause you know it gets you revved up again....

Oh Boy! I have managed to make alot of errors, but I think I have managed not to pass "the curse" along.... You know the big one we all got as kids.... When one day your mother was at her limit and said rather loudly.... "I hope one day you get a child that is twice as stubborn as you!" In fact if I remember correctly, it was said on several occasions...
Ummmm. yeah Mom? about that..... those were some mighty strong words. Knowing my mother I reckon it was probably said as a prayer. My Mom musta had a direct line to heaven... with God on speed dial....

So Moms... Does it stack? I mean do you get stubborn to the 7th power? I hope not! I'm not so good at math.


Mistakes?.... Lots of 'em. Today? Yep, plenty. They ain't gonna be the last either.

That's IT!

Ok..... this is sooo not fair. I'm an ok height.... now width? Umm let's save that for later. 5'8 - decent.

Didn't ever think I would feel short.....

till my baby walked up between the neighbor & I while we were chattin'. She looks right at him, and said " Well, now your taller then me! And I'm 5'8." I do a double take.....Yep, here he grows again!

How, can I give him "the eyebrow"? I just don't think it is gonna be as effective when he is looking down at me... Good Gracious.... we havent even made it to 8th grade yet...

Maybe I can try stilts...So not gonna work - I think that one defies the laws of physics... or Tom Cruise style wedges..nah. I'd turn an ankle.

Help.

Back to the list!
