Monday Morning Musings - Drop Dead Fred

Uhhhh, yeah. So it's snowing.

My kids have this obsession with talking like Fred on iCarly. It's very irritating. See for yourself:


You know how my old neighborhood is multiple birthville? There was a set of twins just born a few weeks ago. And I just found out this weekend that another girl is pregnant with twins. My friend LaRee said she and another girl figured that there has been a set of twins born every year for the past 10 years or something like that. KA-RAZAY!!!

I can hear my kids in the other room talking like Fred right now. Have I mentioned before that my house echoes? AHHH CABBAGES!!!!

Yeah, so my kids are out of school today. Why, you ask? Get this. "Quality Teaching Day". What the heck? This is what I say. I'm not stupid. Don't put a special politically correct name on it like "Quality Teaching Day" in hopes that I won't mind that my kids are missing yet another day of school. Just call it like it is. "Teacher Prep Day". I understand that teachers need time to prepare. It's just that when you call it "Quality Teaching Day" that just kind of sounds like you should be spending the day teaching. In a quality manner. Kinda hard to do where there are no kids there to teach. You would think that TEACHERS would know the definitions of words well enough to come up with the proper day off terminology. I'm just sayin'.

Just had to say as far as multilple birthville goes, it's been 9 sets of twins born in the last 8 years.... though this is the first year we'll actually have two sets. And yes, we're all going crazy :)
