Sugar And Spice And Everything Nice

Well, it looks like my little punkin is going to soon have a new little girl cousin soon. My friend, and Eric’s Aunt Erica is having a little girl in a few months. They just found out the gender of the baby a couple of weeks ago. I’m sure she’s thrilled. I think Erica will make an excellent mother, she’s lived her life and had her fun, and settled down nicely. I’m so happy for her.

Speaking of babies, Eric called me from my mom’s yesterday (yes he’s still there) to tell me that my mom was babysitting my cousin’s newborn son. Eric was so excited to have him there, he adores babies so much it’s not even funny. He’s constantly asking me to “give him a brother or sister”. HAH. No more kids for me, but I sure don’t mind other people’s babies. Babies are usually so cute and cuddly. They lose their cuteness at about age 3-4 though, especially if they turn into obnoxious little children.

Anyway, remember that old saying.. “What are little boys made of?” - Answer: “Frogs and snails and puppydog tails.” “What are little girls made of?” - Answer: “Sugar and spice and everything nice.”. I don’t believe this to be true because honestly I have had a pretty easy time with my little boy and I have friends who have little girls who are heathens. My son does like frogs and snails though, so I dunno. LOL.

What Are Your Kids Listening To On The Radio?

Yesterday while I was listening to the morning radio show on a local station I like to listen to, they started talking about sex. Now, that’s normally not a big deal but for some reason it struck me that there are probably alot of kids that happen to listen to that same particular station in the mornings on their way to school and what not. I mean, granted it’s obviously a mature audience type of show, but who’s to stop a kid with an mp3 player that plays fm radio stations from listening. I know Eric likes that type of music and listens to that radio station all the time, and I simply don’t feel comfortable with him listening to them talk about the benefits of having sex. I know it’s my job to make sure he isn’t exposed to such things, but I can’t be with him 24/7 and I definitely can’t control every single thing he sees or hears. So what to do? I mean their conversation wasn’t terrible it just wasn’t appropriate for a kid to be listening to.

So I’m thinking maybe, just maybe, even though I love that radio station and their early morning show, they should consider cleaning up their daily bit of conversation just a little bit and maybe make it more kid friendly. Just a thought.

I’m Glad School Starts Monday

Well, the summer flew by, but I’m kind of glad school is starting back. I am looking forward to helping Eric with his homework and hearing about all the new stuff he’ll be learning everyday. He always looks so cute when he’s explaining something to me that he learned at school. The look on his face is so precious.

Anyway, I have been saying all summer that I’m going to list his old books up for sale, but I just haven’t gotten around to it. I might actually create my own amazon.com store or something along those lines. I refuse ot sell anything on eBay anymore because they just like to take out too much money.

I don’t know why I’m up so late. I need to get to bed. I just felt like blogging. Goodnight, People.

My son sent me this email yesterday from my mom’s house and although I find it cute, I was unable to find the 4 hidden words. I only found 2. Here is the email…

Now, the words I was able to find were mommy and heart. Can you find any other words?

I’m Finished!!

I’ve finished the school supplies shopping. To be honest, I kind of cheated, because I simply could not find the plastic pocket folders with brads.. so I ended up getting paper pocket folders with brads. Oh, well! I called his school this morning and spoke with some lady up there and asked if it was that big of a deal and she said no, if I can’t find them then just get the paper ones.

I had originally gone to Target, then Walmart, then Kroger.. and then yesterday I called a few places and still nothing, except for Office Max. The girl said they had them. Well, the girl lied. I went there this morning and they didn’t have any such folders. Several other moms were there looking for them also. So I said screw it and got the paper folders.

In a moment of weakness I really did almost end up buying the stupid prepackaged school supplies. But I had to talk myself out of it because I can’t see spending $57.99 on school supplies. Speaking of that, I had been keeping a tally of how much I spent on his school supplies so that I could compare. The total ended up being $19.64 plus about an hour and a half of my time. I’d say it was well worth it. My kiddo is now all ready for school to begin and all I have to say to that is Yay!.
