So we're driving down the street with the windows open and Zac decides he is tired of his gum, so he spits it out the window. I tell him he shouldn't do that because now someone is going to walk by and step on it. He said that he was just trying to raise gum awareness. He said people have walked all over gum for to long and now it is time to put a stop to it. Gum does have feelings, by the way. Apparently he feels like someone needs to stick up for the gum and he was doing that by spitting his gum out onto the street for all to see. And hopefully not walk all over and abuse. So next time you see a discarded piece of gum lying about, keep in mind that that gum has feelings too.
I seriously took part in the naming of all my children. But for the life of me I can't get their names straight. Ever. Sometimes I go through all the names before I finally arrive at the correct one. All while the offended child is staring at me like I'm an idiot. What is really bad is when I call one of the girls Zac. Or call Zac one of the girls names. Or better yet, when I call Zac Sam (Sam is my little brother who is married and has a kid). My kids get so upset and I try to explain to them that it's a mom thing, I'm not the only one who does it. The other day after I went through my list of names before arriving at Aubrey, Aubrey just looked at me with her hands on her hips, her head cocked to the side and her eyebrows raised and said, "What do you need, like some flashcards with pictures like they use in kindergarten?"
Zac got a recurve bow for Christmas. On Christmas day he lost an arrow in the yard in all the snow. The snow never ever melted so he could find it. When it finally did melt a few weeks ago, he went out to try and find it. That is when we, along with the majority of the neighborhood, found all the vole tunnels in our yard that had been hidden all winter under the snow. Unfortunately he could not find his arrow. He said that maybe one of the voles came out and found it and carried it into his tunnel underground because he has seen them do that in cartoons.
I am not a good example of milk drinking to my children. I gave the stuff up probably 5 or 6 years ago. And I have never looked back. Jack. My life in the nasal department has been so much better since I gave it up. I have been a walking sinus infection since I was a pre-teen. I don't think I've had a sinus infection since I gave up milk. Can I get a hallelujah? Aubrey has now decided that she doesn't drink milk either. I try to get her to have at least one glass of milk a day. She does have a growing body after all. OK, I have a growing body too, but mine is growing in the wrong direction. Anyways. One day I was trying to get her to drink some milk and she said, "If you want me to drink this milk, you should probably get me a cookie."
Am I the only one who never feels quite alone when I'm in the room with the XBox Kinect or my cell phone? I just feel like there is always...someone...watching... My cell phone has a camera on the front and the back of the phone. Convenient, huh? I always cover the lens on the front of the phone when I'm using it. I'm all like, HA! Take that sucka! It's the back side of my left thumb. How exciting is that to watch?!?
