dropping off the monster

This morning I dropped my son off at school and every day one of his three teachers meets us at the door they always greet him "Hi monster" and he never answers back till I say to him Monster say hi. To which he replies Hi or good morning I always thought this was a morning thing and that he only did it while I was a round until I had this conversation

Monster and I get out of the car and walk in to the school we are met by teacher # 1

T1 "good morning Monster"

................................

ME: "Monster please say good morning"

Monster "good morning" with a empty look on his face

I then look at the teacher and ask her if he ever says good morning or if he always has to be prompted to respond at which point she tells me he always has to be prompted even by my mother in law after he is picked up from school to tell them good bye??? I then tell his teacher I'm sorry then tell monster that it is rude not to respond to someone who is speaking to you and that he should acknowledge someone when they are talking to him.

I don't know why but this really bothers me. Like I don't have the since or smarts or manners to teach my son not to be polite. Which he is.... he says thank you and ladies first and your welcome although he does still talk with his mouth open (not from my lack of nagging). So I don't know I'm going to talk to him more to night and figure out what is up with the rudeness!!

Friends

Where have all my friends gone? I know this is a weird question and I don't mean any of you reading this I mean friends out side of the computer (or ones that don't live clear across the country). I sometimes feel like I've lost myself in work and home and being a mom and wife and often don't think I fit into the friend category any more :*( why is that? And better yet how do I fix it? and even better yet how do I make new friends? The last friend I made I pretty much stalked, begged, pleaded spent a lot of time trying to befriend and haven't really found I needed or wanted friends until recently I don't know what happened. I often think while I'm at my sons school that it would be so nice to ask one of the ladies if they wanted to go to coffee but Alas I don't drink coffee and wouldn't it be weird if I watched them drink theirs' hmm ,maybe I need to start drinking coffee ??? AND AND AND even more scary what if they said NO omg I'm sure my world would crumble and life as I know it would end and then all the other moms there would just laugh at me ... "psst did you hear that monsters mom thinks shes cool enough to hang out with us MUAHAHAHAHA. Then I also wonder if I would ever fit into there worlds of staying at home when I have a full time job and my house is NEVER clean and my kids are NOT perfect angles. I don't own Uggs or have a mini van and I'm not a size 2 hell I'd love to be a size 7! I'm not on the PTA ohhh whoa is me. I would love to go out with the girls and have a drink and laugh my ass off, go shopping in the mall with out my husband behind me making sure that I know every second we are there that shopping is the bane of his existence. Right now I think some of my problem is not being confident enough in myself to actually have friends I mean that would mean I'd have to leave the house in clothes other than scrubs and I def am worried about some one making beep sounds. (for just once in my life I soooo wanna be the skinny girl!!)

It sometimes amazes me at how different my children are. I think they are both amazing just in different ways.


My son is EXTREMELY out spoken and will let you know AS SOON as he decides he does not like some thing or if he loves it.





My daughter on the other hand will not tell you in words so much, but rather just wear the look on her face lol .








Dinner the other night was fish. I had gotten a marinade for it as well a sort of dill mixture and when I got home that night my husband had dinner all ready. He served them all up and we all tried it








TM: WHAT IS this?





ME: Its fish





TM: I don't' like it





ME: Then don't eat it but I'm not making you something else to eat and no treats






TM: "Fish is NOT good for little kids you should not feed little kids fish" Its ok for you and dad but not for little kids" (by this time my daughter is still eating but shes plugging her nose at the same time and also thinks that it should not be feed to little kids and at the same time not minding for the first time in a while that she fits in to the "little kid" category )





Honey then asks him if hes ever had fish sticks? he assures honey that "no I don't like fish. you should not feed fish to little kids it's not good for them it's ok to feed fish to big kids like you and mom but not to little kids."





The next evening we are having Chinese for dinner and the monster has a crab rangoon and says "what is this? I Like this what is it?





Me: Its a crab ragoon it has crab and cream cheese in it.





Honey : crab is fish you don't like fish remember ?





TM: well I like this fish ( and for the record so does my daughter.)

They make me laugh and some how I can't help but love them both so much my heart feels heavy at times.

ugg

Picture of tree I did not acquire the awesomeness I still have a lot to learn about the camera bare with me.

Took the day off tomorrow so I could go to bingo for books and was excited because I'd have the day to myself and could get some things around the house done! Honey has the day off too. I am soooo bummed I know that's not very nice of me but really I don't get a lot of time to my self the house is full in the morning and everyone is home after I get off work so I was kinda looking forward to getting all sorts of stuff done like the laundry and clean the kitchen and WATCH WHAT EVER I WANT but no now I have to watch what he wants and just BLAH OK done pouting (well not really but) I'll let it go I know it sounds weird but really I get a lot more done when hes not home.

To cold to get the mail

This was written on 1-8-2010

I have decided that its entirely to cold to get the mail. Where I live our mail boxes are not right outside the front door but, in a little cluster down at the end of the street. So my thoughts go to the fact that its crazy to go out there in the cold (yes that's right it's 22 BELOW here) and the mail can only contain one of two things either the bills that need to be paid or the weekly flyer that no one and I mean NO one reads. So like I said before why even bother :) am seriously thinking about moving to Florida and then I only have to worry about getting sent out to the ocean during a hurricane and hey who doesn't like a nice swim. (take it easy I know there nothing to joke about but hey I'm COLD!)

On a better note I love what it does to the trees this morning it was warmer here probably about 2o degrees (yes I know a heat wave get out the tanning lotion and flip flops!!) and the trees had a frost over the top of them they are so pretty that way. When driving down the street you catch a glimpse and they look to be little diamonds in the trees they sparkle and shine. So this am on my way to work I took pictures of the trees (I know what a freak.) they were just amazing I will have to down load them and put a few on my blog, hope I caught some of the awesomeness.



So going on this week we have Bingo for Books at my sons school!! I can't wait we do this every year. One of the girls told me she would work for me so I could go EEKKK I'm excited and the silly thing is there not adult books there kids books but the great thing is ALL the kids get one in the end, even if they don't get a bingo(some adults as well) all go home with a book. In years past when my daughter was in elementary at the same school we would go and have a blast. I hope things turn out this fun with the monster too, only thing is I don't know if he can sit still that long lol.



My daughter has Basket ball tryouts today I hope she gets on the team! I don't know if she's been playing as much this year as she did last year (she played really good last year and most important she had a blast!) however she knows alot more and if she doesn't get on the school team she'll play for intermurals which works for me just as well I just hope it works for her.



Husband went back to work yesterday they were sent home today because their boss forgot to order out supplies! All I can say is GGGRRRRR (see no swearing Yay me!) .

Long time no see right!

Yeah really I don't have an excuse so I'll skip it.
I decided this year I'm going to try to write at least once a week. Writing for me is kinda of like going to therapy. So I'm going to do it!! I also want to get better on my grammer and English this year I feel stupid sometimes not remembering where all this crap is supposed to go! The other thing I'm going to do this year (if it kills me and it just may) is quit swearing. I feel not very lady like and would like to go back to my cute (inside AND out :) self and feel like swearing is not cute really my goal is SMEXY ;) but baby steps right lol. OOH one other thing I'm going to READ more well I hope too any way that one may go by the way side but not too much. I think I will be making a TBR pile and adding it to my blog roll so if any of you have any suggestion that would be great! I like just about anything except politics (reading is enjoyable for me and I don't find politics enjoyable more like a serious grownup thing ;p.)
So just a fill in for now have 2 kids yes that hasn't changed also know as The Monster (my four year old son who is totally decribed by his name and baby girl my 13 year old daughter ... still married well (we call him honey around here and every now and then a few other choice words :P haha)... I was when I left the house this am lol.
