Random Tuesday Thoughts... Brought to you by the Letter RRT

It's Tuesday, I think without RTT I'd never have very much posted here at all.
So if you've got Random and want to post? head on over to Keely's The Unmom, grab a badge or link and get to posting.




^^^^^^^
see badge!

Let me see... Halloween? went well. Boys had lots of fun. MJ quit after first street, (about 15houses), AJ came back out with me and TJ and friends, he quit at 4 more houses and a Belly ache. He had too much milk that day, and was way excited. Then TJ and Friend kept going with me, We hit about 15more houses. TJ is the only one with any treats left. The majority of treats were Chips this year. Great, they can go in lunches.

Costumes? I didn't get around to posting, will now hijack the "wife's" pics...


In the above picture, I own Alvin, Clifford, The mrs Ann of green Gables in lovely dress s/he bought herself, and the GhostRider at the end with orange bag. The extras are friends of the family. Clifford is a rerun from Ghost Rider's First Halloween in this neighbourhood. One house recognized that, because she's a teacher. Teachers love book characters. (or so I've been told)

MJ is starting school next September. I went to my first "parents only" meeting lastnight. HOLDME! my baby is going to school! I had a hard time when TJ was going but this really? yeah I'm not ready. He's ready, the most ready of all, as he will be the oldest at the start but oh boy!

Speaking of boys, Aim! it's a huge deal boys, STOP PEEING everywhere! It's going to make everyone sick.

Speaking of sick, Teachers? Stop licking your fingers when picking up papers to hand out. This happened lastnight, the coordinator for the "preschool introductions" was licking her fingers to seperate the pages. ugh! The sponge plan is no better. I got the nerve up to say "excuse me please stop licking your fingers", I then turned as red as clifford but come on people! Panic Demic going on.

Speaking of that Panic, Big advertisements telling people to go get the shot, advertise them to go get that shot, and then??? LINE UPS! people at the kid school clinics that aren't suppose to be there. I didn't even bring the kids to the germfest.


Oh And not everyone uses babysitters and has family in town. I had to sign myself up for something for Jan4th? I don't even know if I'll actually BE in the city? sometimes I feel like I'm trapped in smalltown thinking. They also wanted my neighbour's phone number? I think I had more emergency contact # when I lived in the USA? my neighbours aren't exactly helpful unless they know we have a tool to borrow or expertise on how to fix their "stuffs?" Maybe I need to go back to friendly New England?

Phones got changed over yesterday, the tech that came? he recognized our USA safety Sticker, (we left it on, we're sentimental,and weird) and says "you from (state?)"
"yeah, I LIVED there too, "
Yep he was from about 3cityblocks over!

Bowling on Saturday TJ's lanes had the highest scores, WOOOHOOOOO! and Hubbie(wife?) says TJ said this "Thanks Dad for getting me interested in Bowling". It was a good feeling! like out of all the things we may be messing up here, this is working.

Curling? yeah I know some of you are waiting... AJ went curling, they start with lessons, terms and practice, then at the end they do a match. AJ this week was the only one with a point, and then he fell on his knee! SMACK on the ice, it hurt! he didn't "cry" but he was having a bit of trouble not crying, they asked him if he wanted to quit, so he said yes and thanked them. Hubbie says he got int he car and looked at his knee, and it seemed ok. AJ then says 'I can't wait to go back next week'. WIN! again, he's totally into this sport. I think I just realized TJ forgot his Judo gear. And there's the fail. On the plus he's got acold maybe he'll just come home and rest?

OK well seems the bag was packed for today, so maybe he just forgot to bring it. The Gas companies are loving me! Trip to town again, that's 4 times this week.

Random! it's life of a mom really Random this Random that. Why is it I keep wanting to put an e on Randome? Maybe I've been reading too much french homework? do they even say the word Randome?

Halloween pumpkin? we threw that in the back yard, every day I look out there's less of it out there, I'm pretty sure the raccoons are loving it. got to keep the critter Count climbing.

OK now I'm off to go read some more Randome(<-------see) over at Keely's while I wait for TJ to call home saying "MOM I need my gear" :) OK call just in "yes mom did you say I couldn't go?" see it's my fault this time, I had said "maybe you shouldn't go in passing yesterday while he was home sick" now today he's at school. Random mom comments should be monitored, because just when you thought they weren't listening? They were!!
