*** My son has started high school this year. Public school. It is our first experience with public school. I think I'm in love. First day- he comes home with a t-shirt given to the Freshmen, me: "ugh- who do I write a check out to for that?" No one! FREE! And, um, the bus. Oh. my. god. I don't have to wake up. I don't have to put on shoes. It picks him up directly in front of our house which probably contributes to the childhood obesity issue these days, but WOW- how easy! Why didn't someone tell me about this earlier?!
*** My husband used to bring hardback books into the "library" (the commode for his special time). It disturbed me because, well, it's gross, but more than that, if he had a whole book- he could be in there for like an hour, when really the "chore" at hand only needed a maximum of 18 minutes! Lately, I've noticed a new disturbing trend... finding DVD cases in the bathroom. Now, the bathroom is right off of our bedroom and only feet from the entertainment center in our room, so the first time or two, I gave the benefit of the doubt, that he was putting away a DVD and the urge, if you will, came upon him and he ran to the bathroom- with the case in hand. First Gladiator, next, The Firm, then... Rocky Balboa, I figured it was time to address it. He fessed up. Admitting he didn't have the time to get through a whole book- the synopsis on the back of the DVD made for good shittin' reading. However- these are OUR movies- in OUR DVD collection- that we ALL touch! EWWW! I have two suggestions- Reader's Digest or the back of his Preparation H tube!
***I have looked like a homeless person for the last 2 weeks. I swear, next week, I'm turning a new leaf- going to the gym, putting on clean clothes- that match- sort of, but I get the weekend to prepare myself. Monday is the day though! No excuses.
*** I think I should stop getting my bank statements online because the e-mail is labeled "XXXX Bank Alert" ("alert" is a bit of a strong word for my monthly statement, don't cha think?) It makes my heart drop out of my chest every single time I see it! It's reminiscent of when I use to get snail mail from the bank, but it wasn't a thick envelope so I knew it wasn't a statement- it was just a third of a sheet of paper stating that my account had insufficient funds. It's actually kind of funny that they only put that on a tiny piece of paper, but your statements include an 18 page outline. I guess once you bounce a check , you're not worth the investment of paper anymore.

My bank always sent the insufficent funds memos on pink paper. I always hated getting the mail on those days.
Last Saturday I woke up to my husband in the downstaris powder room while the kids watched tv. He was in there for 55 minutes. He, of course, insisted it was only 10 mins. And I was slightly baffled as to what he had done in there for that long.
Until an hour later when I went in, and found his laptop wedged in the magazine rack, as if trying to be camaflogued. I've made fun of him everyday since, because really. Who brings a laptop into the john?
your hubby bring back the meaning of the 'thrown' haha
My god, 18 minutes? Who takes that long without having something terrbily wrong with their insides? You poor thing....
And clean clothes are good, but matching, smatching. :)
I wont even go there on the bathroom issues... I am guilty of reading in the bathroom but only books.. plus its really my only alone time... where I can lock the door and tell the kids to screw
Why do men have to be entertained while taking a dump? Shit or get off the pot already!
I am totally blogging from the bathroom right now...
Okay, I am not. But I do on occasion! LOVE my laptop!
My husband takes forever in the bathroom. He takes his iPod touch in there and plays full games of Scrabble. It is so annoying. I get the job done and get out.
I'm a big supporter of public schools. Glad you are liking it so far for your son!
ohmygod i am SO SORRY for forgetting to tell you about the magical yellow school bus! hee. it comes to my house today and so far carries 3/4 away- next year all 4. i give the bus driver a box of chocolate at the end of the year, with hopes she won't ever throw off one of my kids!
