My sister isn't right.  Her poor animals.  LOL!

She *is* funny tho.  :D

On Top Of Things...Not

So I've been traveling so much lately that I missed Owen's parent/teacher conferences.  So I emailed his teacher yesterday and apologized for missing conferences (but  I told him that I had been traveling a lot and blamed it on Ken and told him at least my children were alive...lol) and told him I still needed to speak with him. He said that he still had 5:15-5:30 tonight available. I emailed him back that I felt bad that he had to stay late and I was available whenever.

He never responded so I dumped Owen (with Shane as the chaperone) over at the college for tennis and raced to the school hoping he was still there. I was kinda pissed that he didn't confirm with me but i took a chance that he would still be there. So I pulled up to the school and there were a ton of cars. At 5:15 pm. Weird right? I was hoping that the doors weren't locked. They weren't.

When I went through the front doors, there was a sign up that you didn't need to sign in at the office if you were here for conferences. I thought it was left over from when I missed the conferences. As I walked down the lower hall, I noted that one teacher was talking to a parent. I still didn't clue in that it was actually conferences. Not even when I passed the cafeteria and there was PTA stuff going on. It finally hit me when I rounded the 5th grade hallway and saw his teacher sitting in his room with another parent, with his door closed, and tons of other parents all over the hallway, that I had actually not missed the conferences.

You know, I thought that the 5:15-5:30 time that he gave me was a little weird. I apologized for being irritated with him for not emailing me back because obviously he was preparing for conferences. I confessed to him my blonde moment.

 

Then I decided to be the good mom, and support the kids school at the same time, and take my kids to the McDonald's spirit night.

 

Unfortunately, it was one day early.

 

I guess I should have actually read that piece of paper that the PTA sent home.  You know...the one that I made Shane go back inside and get so that the school would get credit for us going.

In my defense, Owen told me it was spirit night.  I suppose that I should have verified that he was right.

 

I am so totally on top of things.

 

God have mercy, I rock.

Happy Birthday to Me!

Happy Birthday to me!

A month and a half later, thanks to the US Postal Service

It looked like a lovely birthday card.  :)

Cha-Ching...Next Generation

Apparently Ken forgot to tell Shane the rules of mom doing laundry.

Cha-ching baby!  Woot!  Woot!

I only have two questions.  Where did he get all of that money?  And why is he carrying all of it in his wallet?

You know, Owen complained that Shane was stealing his money.  Maybe he was right.  :/

And yes.  He's rocking a duct tape wallet that he made for himself.  :D

But no.  I'm not going to take his money.  THIS TIME.  I will explain the rules of mom doing laundry and the next time, it's finders keepers, losers weepers.

And yes.  That's the cleanest wallet known to man kind.  That thing went though the wash just like Ken's does when he leaves it in his pocket.

I guess I should remind Shane about that little bonus of me doing laundry too.  I don't check pockets.  LOL!

Presidential Election 2012

By this time tomorrow, the votes will be counted and the current President of the United States of America Barack Obama will be moving into in his second term or his Republican challenger, Mitt Romney, will be celebrating his victory in his first term.

Personally, I'll be glad to see this election end.  It's been nothing but negative ads and arguments between people that are normally cordial and friendly.  Not sure where civility went but I'll be glad to see it go bye bye.

And hope that it actually goes away tomorrow.  Because my bet is that it won't and there will be challenges to the voting.

Hope I'm wrong.
