I'm Not Dead Yet

I know that it has been a long time since I have posted, I mean really posted anything. Time gets away from me as I keep up with my 4 kidlets (2 big and 2 little), and as I study. Did I mention that I am studying to become a Medical Transcriptionist? Well, I am. And it dominates a lot of my time. Time that I don't have after running the kids around, doing laundry, planning delicious meals (did anyone see where the # to Little Caesar's went??) etc. And, truth-be-told, I like to hang out with my kids--since they are home from school, and all.

So my days this summer have been pretty cool so far. Some chores in the morning, swimming, and watching NCIS. I guess I lived under a rock, or was watching something else, because this show is awesome and there is LOTS of it. Yeah, me!

But it has been brought to my attention by Steffi that she misses my blog. Wow. She reads my blog? I think that she might be the only one who does, but alas I mustn't let my reader down!

So, don't throw me into that cart. I'm not dead yet.

The Perfect 'Gotcha!'

~Special thanks to Michou who sent this little diddy by email~

Janet's wedding day was fast approaching. Nothing could dampen her excitement - not even her parent's nasty divorce.

Her mother had found the PERFECT dress to wear, and would be the best-dressed mother-of-the- bride ever!

A week later, Janet was horrified to learn that her father's new, young wife had bought the exact same dress as her mother! Janet asked her father's new young wife to exchange it, but she refused. ''Absolutely not! I look like a million bucks in this dress, and I'm wearing it,'' she replied..

Janet told her mother who graciously said, ''Never mind sweetheart.. I'll get another dress. After all, it's your special day.''

A few days later, they went shopping, and did find another gorgeous dress for her mother.

When they stopped for lunch, Janet asked her mother, ''Aren't you going to return the other dress? You really don't have another occasion where you could wear it..."

Her mother just smiled and replied, ''Of course I do, dear. I'm wearing it to the rehearsal dinner the night before the wedding.''

gotcha!

Sometimes words just make me laugh. All of a sudden an english world won't sound so anymore, and I will bust up.

Today it was a spanish word.

Gigante.

Say it in your head. Say it aloud. Now say it in your best Antonio Banderas accent!

See. Told ya.

Gigante.

Ba hahahahah!

Got Gum?

I have recently been informed by my high-school girls that sharing gum in school is kind of like a drug deal.

Yes. You heard right.

Evidently gum is the hottest commodity in school
(back in the days when dinosaurs roamed the earth and I was in school, gum was most definitely NOT allowed in school--even at lunch--which leaves my kids incredulous)

When sharing gum, it is not uncommon to palm it to a friend, pass it under the table, and to use phrases like, "Don't tell anyone you got it from me." Seriously.

You see, gum is expensive. The sticks are few. Everyone wants it. And NO one believes it if you say that it was your last piece.
