We have just about survived the first day off due to icy weather. Yesterday was the slickest drive home ever. We have been here, in Oklahoma that is, now for six+ years and I don't recall it being that slick ever! People were CRAZY!! Sliding sideways into ditches, bassakwards down our neighborhood hills. (That reminds me, I've got to thank neighbor Grogan for the good laugh he gave us last night when he demonstrated his awesome driving abilities.)
Anyway, no school again tomorrow. (Someone may need to call in and check on us sometime in the early afternoon. I mean, I must be insane to ever want a day off of school due to weather. I may kill someone.) My dreams of a tranquil day off, curled up by the fire reading "Twilight" is complete fantasy. Instead, I get "The Twilight Zone." Words like idiot, stupid and fatty McFatpants filled the air. I heard the occassional whimper which was usually followed up with a shrill scream. I have learned today that my 13 year old knows more than me and that it is a wonder I passed the sixth grade because apparently they do math different these days and I don't know what I'm talking about. (Challenge: take a deep breath, quickly exhale and read the last sentence I wrote without breathing.) Anyhoo, hopefully it will be back to the ol' grind Thursday!
Before I leave you tonight, I will leave you with a quote I find oh so true:
The greatest pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot do.
Good night, and have a pleasant tomorrow.

ReplyDeletei'm so sorry that you don't know much. you WILL NOT get smarter for the next several years. just know that one day you will see your daughters get dumber too when they have beautiful daughters. it's in the genes, i think. hang in there and as they say, 'when the rope gets shorter just hang on'. no, that doesn't sound right does it? i just realized that i can't remember what i meant to write. is that you, mar? i'm going to bed now. don't let the door hit you before you go to sleep. (or is that for something else?)
ReplyDeletelove you, mom
Mar - you are going to have to "tough up" to make it over the next several years. Raising these kids is a ridiculous task. But, look on the bright side - I've survived, and I'm not TOO damagaed!
