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.

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?

My Kid Is Weird

So late last night my son called me from my mother’s house cause that’s where he’s at right now and he asked me if it was okay if my sister cut his hair. Before I go any further I must elaborate on my sister. She is mentally handicapped, which is to say that she is very slow, and the only hair cutting she knows how to do is to shave completely bald, and even that needs to be fixed usually. But anyway, I explained to him that if she cuts his hair, he will have to start school with a bald head looking like a skinhead. He says to me, I want my head shaved, I like it. So I told him to go ahead if he wants to. He’s 8, it’s his head. If he wants to look foolish, then he can look foolish. Besides it’ll grow back out soon enough. I just can’t believe he’d actually want my sister to cut his hair off. It makes me wonder what my mother is slipping in his food.

Late Night Motherly Ramblings

I’m feeling kinda lonely and I’m home all alone since Eric’s at my mom’s. I had to take him to my mom’s because I have 3 doctor’s appointments right in a row on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. I miss him though, and I wish that my parents lived closer so that I wouldn’t have to drive him so far out for so many days. If they lived closer I could just drop him off for a few hours and pick him back up.. but with gas prices being the way they are and with the time it takes to drive all the way out there, it’s just not possible.

I went to a new psychiatrist today. She’s alright I guess. She kept asking me about my son, and how I got along with being bipolar and having a kid. I think she was just wanting to make sure I didn’t mistreat my son or whatever. I wouldn’t ever do that, bipolar or not. But I guess I can understand her concern… I’ve heard some crazy stories about that kinda stuff. I love my little (not really little anymore) punkin way too much to ever cause him harm like that.

Science Class Is Canceled

So I called the Community Center where Eric would have been taking his science class tomorrow and every Wednesday this month, and was informed that the class had been canceled because there were not enough children enrolled for the month of July. The June and August classes were full though, which really sucks. She said she had tried to call but didn’t have a good number. This is because I recently switched cell phone companies and forgot to inform them of the new number. I called Eric at my mom’s and he asked if he could stay one more night over there then, since he didn’t have the class tomorrow. I said yes, though I miss him terribly, he’s having a good time over there. I am kind of annoyed by the whole situation, but it is my fault for not informing them of the new number. Otherwise they might have been able to get him in on one of the other sessions. He’s still on for the Mini Gourmet cooking classes though. He’s excited about that.

I decided that since he wasn’t able to take the science class I would use the money they are refunding me and buy him and his friend a pass to their game room and skate park. With passes to the game room, they have access to the gym also. I figure I could take him up there for a couple of hours.. maybe 2 or 3 times a week. He might enjoy himself, and make some new friends. I also plan on taking him to the skate park they have and the playground a few times this coming month. He’s also got his swimming lessons starting July 21st.

I’ve also decided that since he hasn’t been reading as much this summer as I’d like, that I’m going to set aside one hour every evening for us both to dedicate to reading. I personally believe that reading is a vital element in any child’s education and the learning process in general. It keeps your mind sharp and helps children learn to absorb and process information quicker. He’s got some really awesome books to keep him busy and we also just ordered him an Encyclopedia Brown box set from Amazon.com. Right now he’s currently in the middle of book one in the Chronicles Of Narnia series.
