A Little Of This And That

Monday night cooking classes have been a big hit at our house. For the past few weeks we have been making different kinds of cookie doughs and putting them in the freezer in hopes of making Christmas Cooking Baskets.
I still haven't used my dryer! Yeah for me and the beginning of my frugal life! As I mentioned I was planning on starting to see how cheap I could get the grocery bill. Hubby messed that up by trying to help and going to the grocery store and spending far more than I ever would have on any day! So am planning on starting that next week.
We were sitting around the table and the phone rang(imagine that with 7 of us) Anyway it happened to be for me. It was the school needing volunteers. So I quickly agreed to help with the health fair. Then it happened. God smiled down on me and let his humor fly again. It was asked if my husband or I would be interested in supervising the upcoming dance. I quickly without hesitation volunteered my husband for this (partly because he always aggravates the children saying that he is going to do it) As I shared the joy with the folks at the table first a glare came from hubby (you know the look....the one that says....I was only saying that to get a rise out of the kids......why do you do this stuff to me) then the kids sunk in their seats saying please don't do it. The more they begged the more hubby was okay with it. So Oldest daughter said Okay you can go (as if she had a choice in the whole thing) anyway she said We gotta lay some ground rules. #1 you don't know me #2 I don't know you #3 stay with the other parents #4 don't try to dance #5 don't try to sing #6 and most important don't get up out of your seat, speak or make eye contact with anyone. HAHAHHAHHA Oldest son said my only request is don't hollar across the room " WHAZ UP DAWG" like a wanna be cool parent might.
Oldest son who is sensitive, sweet, and all around an easy child decided to change sports. So what do you do with a soft spoken, tender hearted boy? Sign him up for wrestling of course. The sick thing is he LOVES it. I tried to watch but feel the urge to go jank them monsters off my baby so have chosen to wait in the van until the end of practice.
Oldest daughter is back in basketball season full swing. She is good, if I do say so myself. Ask anyone in the stands they can tell you.....I think she is good. Which brings me to what I was told. Only and I do mean ONLY cheer when the other parents are cheering. I should not hear GO HOPIE GO at all I shouldn't hear you because of everyone else mom GEEEEZE
Youngest son last night while we were waiting in the van for wrestling to get over with got my key chain flashlight and started looking in everyone ear. We were all told that we have tubes and they look good and we could expect them to fall out at any time but not to be scared cause it want hurt. Then our eyes were looked at yep still seeing spots from this one. As we were told yep looks like you need glasses I think spider man ones will suite you fine. You have to take care of them and not sleep with them. Finally the one that brought tears was when he shined the light on our heads and said oh my what is that you got tumors but don't worry you get to take fun trips to the head dr. and if you are really good you can stay at the Ronald McDonald house and eat whatever you want to. You will have to have a shot though and it will hurt but then I will put you in a machine and look at your head and give you a toy so its okay. HAHAHAHA he is hilarious
Middle son is learning that no matter what I do at school or who I do it to my parents are going to find out so I might as well stop doing it. I will never say that he is coping with his ADHD well because if I do the bottom will surely fall out before I get home to catch it. So I am going to leave this paragraph with middle son is showing rays of sunshine at this time.
Youngest daughter has finally found a way to study multiplication without crying and snotting all over me. We have found a website that you type in whatever facts you are working on 7's or whatever and then a game pops up and she plays it for 30 min. each day and is getting very sharp at her facts now. I am very very proud.
Hubby well he is hubby. I wrote a note to his boss and the first line read 10 reasons why you should make Joe's check payable to me. Funny thing is the last line read ooops looks like Joe needs a raise.
