Can really really suck.
I wish I had a wonderful guide for all those little things that we have to deal with. You know what I'm talking about,.... messy rooms.... boyfriend troubles,.... cell phone calls that use up all your minutes for the month, or how about loss of scholarships and wanting to have a boy you've never met but only online to visit you over the summer??? Yes, there really should be a guide for all these wonderful trivial things.
It's been awhile I know since I've posted. Lots to jabber about :o)
My cousin and her family are working on moving out our way. They even made a week long visit here,.... they're from Las Vegas. Moving to Arkansas,... CULTURE SHOCK! lol It's been a long process since her husband not only is driving loads out this way to put into storage, they need to find a rental home, and he needs a job. Busy busy!!! BUT they hope to be headed out of Vegas by the 15th. I'm really looking forward to it. They're very nervous about starting over again. Sure can't blame them. I want them to have a new and better life here,.... with ME! My cousin is more like a sister than anything to me. We were VERY close growing up. Pretty well inseparable. She has a daughter Sydney's age (year younger) and while they were here they got along beautifully!!! It was great! Kinda like when we were kids :o) Very exciting.
Since I'm not sure how she'd feel about me posting pics of her and the kids here, I'll refrain,.... but we had a great visit that's for sure!!
What else?? The school year is nearly over :o) Looking forward to that!!! Maybe I'll get to sleep in some???? Wouldn't THAT be great?? :o) The kids would be getting out in two days but we have snow days to make up, so now it's 7 days. Well, 6 since today is over.
Brian is already done with school. We went last week and got his transcript in hopes of sending it in so he could get his scholarship reinstated since he bombed so bad the first semester. He paid for the second semester. Well, he bombed again. SOooooo he not only loses his scholarship for good,.... but he lost the money he paid for the 2 classes. I'm so disappointed. He's not been able to find a job here, not to mention that he blew his car money on those classes that he won't ever get back,.... so he has no car. Just a mess. His plans now are to go live with his dad in TX. He'll be within walking distance to places that he can apply to, so it will be a good move. I hate it, hate that he's leaving,... but I know this is the right thing for him. I'm also grateful that his dad and step mom are willing to help him out.
The girls already know he's more or less leaving,.... but aren't realizing it's "for good" but Jess is looking forward to having his room. LOL I can't blame her. Sydney is a slob. Jess isn't a neat freak by any means, but she's a whole lot neater than Sydney is.
Oh, and while I'm talking about Jess. She met a boy in a chat room (she's an anime freak, found some kid type chat place) and she tells me how he's got some beanie babies he's going to send her as he doesn't want them anymore. Todays news is that he wants to drive up here this summer to SEE her. HUH? How OLD IS this boy?? 18. Riiiiiighhhhttt. You're 15,.... this is SO not going to happen. We're just 2 1/2 yrs apart,.... Mmmhmm..... what part of this is SO NOT going to happen did you NOT understand??? LOL
Sure I tossed it around, maybe I'm being too strict??? "I'll talk to Chris about it,.... but don't hold your breath" Maybe it was false hope I gave her??? But I couldn't make it anymore clear to her that I didn't like this idea even a tiny bit. "you would never be alone with him,...." "he is NOT staying at our house" ROFL That sort of thing,..... to which I got "I know.... " "I know...." no,... she did NOT know.
Text hubby about it,.... "Tell her to tell him not to waste his money" :o) LOL Good way to put it,... so yup, that's exactly what I told her. I'm sure she's bummed out about it big time, but eh, she's 15, she'll live :o) Lots of time for boyfriends when she's older right????
What else can I share????
Took Geoffery to the Drs last Friday. He'd had this up/down low grade fever, sore throat, wanted to rule out strep since its going around at the school. While there waiting, was a sweet little blonde headed baby girl with her parents. She was in her mom's arms and watching Geoff and I. I waved to her which in turn she waved that cute little baby wave back. Such a doll.
"Isn't she cute Geoffery?" he was playing on his DS, pokemon game of some sort,... ".... hmm? yeah..." in his "whatever" sort of voice. "Don't you want one???" "A BABY??" "yeah! Shouldn't we have another one???" "....NOooooo!!" *giggle* I was pretty amused.
"Babies are like puppies,..... they always chew on things... don't they?? and whine...." ROFL!!!
I cracked up. I've always told people that having a baby is like having a puppy. You're cleaning up pee/poop, vomit,.... you've got the whining/crying thing going on,.... the teething stage is always fun,... Dr visits for shots or illnesses you can't treat at home,.... yup yup you want to experience having a baby, get a puppy first.
Granted once your puppy is house broken,.... having a puppy in the house is tons better. You don't have to hear the whining about why they can't go over to a friends house, their room isn't THAT messy,.... or "ewwww do I have to eat THIS for dinner??" Well, I could go on and on and on with that one,....
Yeah, there really should be a parenting guide for all the little things that we don't know how to deal with. Just say NO! I think will be my motto from here on out.
