OK, so Anthony thought it was so funny the other day when I said this, and he wanted me to post it. I think we were sitting at baseball or something, and he just thinks it's hilarious when I talk to inanimate objects (like farts). I talk to either someone in another car who cannot hear me or an inanimate object- or both- every day. No joke. Every day. "Well, Hello rogue, detached hair that's been tickling my arm for the past 10 minutes." "Hello, Precious... for letting me know you were turning by NOT putting on your blinker." "That is NOT nice Mr. Stone for stubbing my toe!" The list goes on and on... and on and on.... He has no idea how therapeutic it is for me to talk to these things/people. It helps diffuse anger, frustration, or just help me remember and accept in some, small way that I'm not in control.
SO, I cracked him up with the "Hello, Butt Smell." It's a nice day when you can make your 13 year old son laugh. Many times, he's laughing at me in another kind of way. This time, he was laughing at me in a good way.
We will have exactly 2 weeks left of school, and then our summer vacation will be exactly 8 weeks long. (moment of silence, please) I am SO already done with school, and I'm not even in it! Starks came home with a homework packet this Monday, and my face was utter disgust. A mother in baseball who used to be a teacher admitted that she was a strong proponent for homework as a teacher, but as a stay at home mother, she realizes how unnecessary it mostly is. I agree. I understand needing to focus them for another TWO weeks, but homework is not the way to keep them interested in school. There is nothing life shattering to teach the last two weeks of school. I'm just ready for summer. I'm ready for them to be playing outside in the dark until their skin is clammy. I'm ready for no more shutting down fun to read 20" before bed! I'm want no more schedule if only for eight weeks! Who's with me?!?!
Until then, these two weeks left of school will be fun and packed. My niece arrived today (Don't worry, she's watching a movie 20 ft from me on the couch with the boys... I'm not ignoring her.) to stay for just a few days before she heads to Hawaii with her grandpa. :D Starks has a semi-final baseball game tomorrow night for playoffs. (He keeps reminding us there's a new "Jessie" on Friday, too. LOL) He turns NINE on Saturday! There may be a final Championship game for #1 on Saturday if his team wins tomorrow. Father's Day is Sunday. These next several days are going to ROCK!
Did you read that Alyssa is here?!? I love this girl. I love who she is, that she's trying to figure out who she wants to be, how she got her mom's gift of love, how beautiful she is inside and out, and that she wanted to spend time with me before her big trip! WHAT?!?! Alyssa fits in like she has lived with us all of her life. I love it; it makes my heart sing. However, I cannot wait to have her all to myself tomorrow while the boys are at school. :)
Well, I'm going to say "Goodbye, Computer. Thank you for working for me today!" Now I've get to sit on the couch with my family and snuggle up to watch "Ironman 2." It was my suggestion... I needed some Tony Stark. :)
