Friday afternoon I'm walking Thing 1 home from the bus stop and asking the standard 'so what did you do today in school?'. Well, he says, I got married!
Uh, say again?
He then proudly shows me a plastic ring with the word "love" on it that he's wearing.
You didn't kiss her, did you?
Yup - when the teacher was in the supply closet.
His father's genes are already causing me problems...

Why I really should stick to the drive thru
On Fridays Thing 2 doesn't have school so we get to hang out together. In the bank today a woman in line behind me says "oh - he's so cute! How old is he?" So I answer, and then she starts talking to him. Finally she stops, but tells me "Oh, what a sweetie!". My son immediately comes back over to me and says in the loudest voice possible "Mom! I want to smell your butt!" I then spend the next 60 seconds trying to explain to him that butt smelling is inappropriate while he tries to (yes, you guessed it) get to my rear end for a sniff. Now never before has he tried to do this to me (and hopefully he never will again). But as I look over at the lady who was just talking to him I can just see her thinking "Hmmm...Perhaps he's not so cute after all..."

I'm Baaaackkk!
Okay, so it's been awhile...and people are starting to wonder what is going on. The truth is I met another man online and left my husband and kids to go live with him. He's a Hungarian opera singer who enjoys sushi, long walks on the beach, and laughter. Then I found out my long lost identical twin sister needed a kidney transplant, so I was laid up after the operation. You believe me, right?
No? Fine, fine, you got me. The real truth isn't nearly so interesting though. I stopped blogging because I just had way to much other crap on my plate. You know, perhaps "crap on my plate" isn't a great expression to use - sounds kinda gross. My priorities were re-aligned, or is it re-adjusted...maybe re-focused? UHH, I'm so out of practice with this writing thing. Plus I haven't thought about what I was going to say so you're getting "stream of conscious Steph" which can be a very, very, ugly thing.
So what's been going on around here? Well Thing 1 is officially a Kindgergartener. I offer up my praises to the superintendant and whoever else is responsible for our town having full day Kindergarten. Yes, my son gets on the bus at 8:50 am and doesn't return home until 3:50 pm...and it is a beautiful thing! He loves school, his teacher, and his new friends. Thing 2 is attending preschool (also held at our local elementary school) and gets to ride the short bus from our home to school in the afternoon. Yes my friends, I get 3 HOURS TO MYSELF four days a week. 12 HOURS OF BLISS!!! Except...
That my CPA workload has gotten quite heavy lately. This is good (think cold hard cash) but bad (think very dirty house). But at least I now have some time to be a professional without having to worry about anyone screaming for another Capri Sun in the background...
Nurse Hottie is still both a nurse and hot. He's become quite obsessed with a game called "World of Warcraft" and when he's not doing that, he's driving around the area looking at boats. See, he's been trying to convince me that we need to buy one. He has me pretty well worn down, because although I know he'll be spending all sorts of money on "boat crap" it's something we can do as a family so it won't irritate me as much as money spent on "truck crap".
That's all for now. I promise I won't take as long to post again.
