Hump Day Dump Day

It drives me absolutely crazy when a retailer identifies something in a houndstooth pattern as “herringbone.” Um, no… huge difference. If you’re going to sell the stuff, KNOW what you’re talking about!

I had to remove an uncle of mine from my Facebook friends yesterday. I am very tolerant of others’ beliefs and viewpoints and can agree to disagree. However, in standing for his strong opinions, he said things to me that I can’t support. Done.

This morning, Dustin and Harper walked (well, Harper strolled) Nick to school! We’ve wanted to try that for awhile, living about 5 blocks away, but it’s so hot and we just weren’t sure how long it would take. So they left early this morning to accommodate it and it worked out great! I’m afraid it is still too hot to pick him up that way in the afternoons, but he may start trying anyway. He’s always almost late to work because of sitting in that ridiculous car rider line!

Sometimes, I have a moment when I think “I’m having another kid. That makes THREE KIDS under one roof! I’m insane!” I really do wonder from time to time exactly how I’m going to handle it and how a baby is going to fit into our crazy schedule. Obviously, it’s going to take a lot of adjusting!

We found out this week that Nick is in the Accelerated Reader program at his school. This definitely isn’t a surprise. He’s been reading for a couple of years now. I was reading at a third grade level when I started kindergarten. It’s just nice that they have this program so that he can advance and not have to hang back with those who aren’t reading at a higher level. He was sent home with 107 words that he has to know how to read by the end of Kindergarten. Well, he knows them all. He read through them effortlessly. I’m clearly a proud mama!

Hump day dump day I just really need a good old fashioned brain dump....

1. Please don’t complain about being $60,000 in debt if you just came from a 4-week cruise in the Mediterranean.

2. I have a little summer cold and saying something about it on Facebook was the biggest mistake of my week. I won’t get into it here, but I am in a rotten mood now because of it all.

3. I do not need toxic people in my life, but they are there at every turn. I definitely am ready to make some huge changes in my life, starting with deleting people from my Facebook. For real this time. After that, I have a couple of letters to write to people I am harboring anger against. It’s just not healthy to hold it all in.

4. Harper is in the process of phasing out his 2nd nap and I’m really sad about it. I’m less sad about the quiet time I’m losing and more sad that this is another sign he’s growing up so fast!

5. On the topic of my kids making me sad by growing up, Nick has been at my mom’s for two nights and is at the point where he decides when he wants to stay and when he wants to come home. When did he get old enough to make decisions?

6. Reconnecting with old friends is amazing. I have had the wonderful experience this past week of finding an old friend on Facebook and having some wonderful conversations with him. This reminds me of why I use FB.

7. The only thing better than being addicted to buying something cheap is finding a store where it’s sold even cheaper! I discovered Saturday that Target sells my favorite nail polish (Sally Hansen’s Xtreme wear) for $1 less than WalMart!

8. I can’t do this anymore. I have had some serious drama go down in the last hour and I’m shaking from anger. I need coffee and I need to do dishes. I can not focus on coming up with more things to write here.
