Thing I learned this week...
***
1. It's really not a good idea to sit on the same side of a basketball court as the opposing team, even if a long time friend is there. It's really, really, really hard not to punch the other parents in the face for talking smack about your son's team.
***
2. If you take off after waiting for your 13 year old to decide to come to car pool after 20 minutes, and leave him at school for a few hours while you shop... he won't make you wait again.
***
3. I'm not as "cool" as I think I am. When I talk to my son's friends at school... and we laugh and banter... my middle son tell's me they are only being polite to me.
Nice huh? He, unlike the other two... will be moving out of my home the day he turns 18... (j/k) (maybe)
***
4. Cutting "bangs" on my hair DOES NOT hide the gray streak hiding underneath it. What was I thinking?
***
5. Making sourdough starter is a long, babysitting process... but soooo worth it!
***
So that's what I learned this week.
Okay.. so it's not earth moving stuff...but I learned them anyway...
Maybe next week I'll have learned how to cure a disease or something...
Really?? You left him and went shopping?? Bravo momma!!

Oh yes... it really happened... he just dawdles every day... like I have nothing better to do than to wait for him... I have games to get to, and two other kids to pick up...
ReplyDeleteSoo... this week... I called his cell(that he has on silent) and told him I was waiting again... he didn't show... now he'd have to wait for me to get done at the mall... I'd be there when I got there... have fun.
Surprisingly... the next day? he was waiting for me... EARLY!!! Hmmmm...
when i was in high school, i drove my two brothers to school as well. and one was always on time and one was always late. i got tired of waiting for the other one and i told him several times i was going to leave him. he didn't think i would do it. so he was late again, and i left him home. my dad thought it was hilarious. my brother? not so much. but he wasn't late after that. imagine that...haha
ReplyDeletesound like you learned a lot. Next time pick me up before you go shopping. I won't make you late.
ReplyDeleteLoved your lessons for the week. I have experienced the waiting game before and have gotten back by not showing up as quickly the next time around. :)
ReplyDeleteI have resorted to covering the gray line with a little dark eyeshadow. In a pinch it works.
Laughed at your MIL comment on my blog!
Sourdough starter sounds more fun than a disease cure any day ;) Sounds like a fun week!
ReplyDeleteyeah, it's a sobering moment when you see middle school kids rolling their eyes behind your back...sheesh.
ReplyDeleteaDORE your banner..."want somma this?" and "the eye" made me giggle like crazy!!! my dear italian elderly friend bit her knuckles. when i asked why, she said her mom had taught her to do that instead of saying something or doing something she'd regret! soooooo cute!
