Sassy Kids

It's been a while since I blogged!!

Okay, this morning the boys had a few minutes of "free time", so Daniel was playing a game on the computer. Johnny was sitting next to him anxiously waiting his turn. "Mom, can I play this game next?". I told Daniel 1 more game and then it is time to get his hair done. (and by the way, my kids need hair cuts something fierce!)

So, Daniel gets up from the game, I am at the sink waiting for him and Johnny says, "Daniel why did you exit out of that game." GRRRRRRRRRRRR, that turd does it every time!! Just to irritate and get Johnny upset.

By this time Daniel is in front of me getting his hair done. "Daniel, you know your brother was waiting to play that game after you. Why did you exit out?!!" Of course he said, "I don't know." Well needless to say I advised him he was grounded from the computer for the rest of the day. His response, "I don't care". REALLLLLLLY??? "Okay, now for your sassy comment, you have another day added. Now you are grounded from the computer for 2 days." He had a look of shock on his face, "What, 2 days, you said one day." HELLO, do I need to repeat myself! I said, "Yes, it was one day until you decided to get sassy and say you don't care. Would you like to add a third day?" Softly he said, "no."

Don't sas Mom, you will not win!!

Standing on a street corner in Detroit

Talk about scary business! Recently I had to go to Downtown Detroit to the Wayne County District Court House for work. My defense attorney's office is walking distance from the Court, so he told me to park in the parking garage and meet him in the courtroom. "Umm, Jeff (attorney) I don't know where the heck the court house is." So he told me to walk out of the parking garage and he'd meet me there.

So I am waiting. Nothing. Crap! The court house, um yeah is directly in front of me as I walk out of the parking garage. DUH! So I start walking toward Woodward (yes Woodward in Detroit!!) thinking, his office is on Woodward, I'll meet up with him.

Here I am standing on the street corner, I am certain looking completely LOST, with my Coach purse wide open, not zipped, freaking out. People walking around all over!! Scarewee peepo, I mean scarewee! I am trying to look like I know where I am going. This man is walking up to me. Oh Lord Jesus!! I am dying wondering what the heck he wants. I am putting my gloves on at this point because it was cold and windy. He comes up to me and says...... are you ready for this...... I wasn't........ "Now all you need is something to cover your ears and you'll be warm." WHEW, I was able to breath again and bring my heart rate down. Poor guy was just trying to be nice and I was scared to death.

Almost 5 minutes pass. I am dialing Jeff on my cell phone. "DUDE where the crap are ya!" And yes, that is exactly what I was going to say. Needless to say I have dealt with him on many of my cases and am very comfortable for the most to be "myself" around him. POOR GUY! As the phone starts ringing I see him standing in front of the parking garage waiting for me. Good grief, should have stayed put!

So every thing is cool, I made it, I am alive. We are sitting in the court room waiting for our case to be heard. All of a sudden shear panic sets in. I am in a parking garage and I have no cash! NO CASH!! Do they take Debit I thought?? How the heck am I going to get out of here? Shoot, I am going to have to ask Jeff for money. What a loser and big time DING BAT I am.

And then I remembered that a few days earlier Jim at work had given me $20 to buy goodies for our "community pantry". Thank you Jesus! Whew. It cost me $17.50 for 2 hours parking! Yes, that is right $17.50! That is more than Disney, and I enjoyed Disney. Did not enjoy going to Detroit!!

I have an iPod with all boy songs

Johnny is listening to my iPod right now. He is thinking he might like to take it to school for show and tell. But he doesn't think the girls will like the songs because they are all boys songs. Because the iPod used to belong to David and he's a boy. LOL Dude, your Mom is a girl and she listens to the music. It is not just for boys. Funny kid.

Michigan

I am cold!!! It is freezing outside and freezing in my house. Poopy crap!

Dentist -GRRRRRRRRRRR

I had a dentist appointment @ 10:00 am to have a old filling removed and redone. Didn't get back to see the dentist until after 11:00!!!! GRRRRRR, I was getting ticked thinking of the trillion things I need to do! My stupid mouth was numb for 5 hours. And I had a terrible headache.

The boys had their dental cleaning appts yesterday too. Yes, two trips in one day to the dentist. Needless to say when we got there they were running behind! BIG surprise. I still had my pounding headaches and the boys were playing with the Lego's in the waiting room. The sound of the Lego's being swished around in the bag made me want to shoot myself in the foot. I thought my temples were going to pound out of my head. I think it was from the shots in my mouth earlier, stress, back in the swing of crap! LOL After the boys were both done I had the receptionist, my boys and two hygienists all trying to talk to me at the same time (with my headache)! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. Daniel has his first 2 cavities. Both small but need to be filled. Johnny needs to have the seals put on his back molars. Then the dentist came out to talk to me about Johnny's teeth. (Oh good grief, can I leave???). Johnny has not lost his two upper front teeth yet. And they are not the least bit loose. The x-rays show that the adult teeth are up there, but the baby teeth still have the roots 100% connected and they shouldn't be at his age. Dr. will give it until February to see if they start to loosen and fall out on their own or he will have to pull them. SURE, okay, GOOD LUCK WITH THAT ONE!! Tim, dude, that will be your turn to take Johnny to the dentist!!!! Bye Mr. dentist man, I am leaving now.

Tanning

I went tanning yesterday. I haven't tanned in over 11 years. Oh my, too funny. My arms, chest and face are tan, but the rest of me - WHITER than white! So the lady sees that I have a little bit of color already and says that I should be fine for 10 minutes in the Hex. 12 minutes is the max no matter how tan you are. No I contemplated in my brain for a few and told her that I wore a one piece in Florida so my stomach and back or WHITE, WHITE girlfriend, WHITE. Do you understand white, no sun exposure at all!!!????? So I think shoot, 10 minutes should be fine. WELL, as I was grocery shopping and squatting down to get some canned good from the bottom shelf, my bottom felt a little, um BURNT. Yep, when I got home I looked, I am pretty much a lobster. Thanks tanning lady!! I should have listened to my little brain saying maybe do 8 minutes. PRAISE GOD I did have underwear on, so my butt cheeks aren't completely char broiled.

Johnny, a mold of Matthew

I know I have told Shari this time and time again. But Johnny so much reminds me of Matthew when he was little. His belly laugh is 100% the same as Matthew's. When he laughs like that, I can totally hear Matthew, 9 years ago.

His smirking smile - the same.
Some of his facial expressions - the same.
Squishy Spongy butt - the same.
Thick hair - the same (I know not identical, but you know what I am saying)

I just can't tell you the countless times that I have a smile on my face remembering Mattie Jakie at Johnny's age, through Johnny right now.

After all, they are related!! Just weird how much of Matthew traits and mannerisms (wow that is a big word for me. hehehe) I see in Johnny.

And then there are the farty and hairy parts of Johnny that remind me of another middle child!! LOL LOL LOL Without disclosing any names, he is at North Central right now.
