Mother's Day was nice. Nice and calm. No puking. No ambulance rides. It was actually kind of boring. I did get homemade waffles with whipped cream and fruit made by Shawn. He followed a recipe and everything. It was very sweet. And I also got PF Changs for dinner. Yummmm.
AJ made me a cute coupon book full of chores he will do. He makes one for me every year. I have never cashed any of the coupons in. I think he is onto me and that is why he makes them. I may wait until he is 20, show up at his frat house with 12 years of coupon books in hand, and demand he fulfill his obligations. I crack myself up.
The iPod that I won from the writing contest came in the mail yesterday. It is actually much cooler than the one I have now. Except the one I have now was given to me by Shawn and is inscribed on the back. That is what I get for marrying an engineer- engraved electronics.
But the great thing was that the iPod also came with speakers. I can plug my iPod into and it will play my playlist like a regular radio. Very cool.
The school year is winding down. I get asked daily if I will do the job again next year. I had a pretty horrible day today, so I am glad the principal did not ask me today. Because the answer would have been a big fat "NO!". But most days I do like it. It really is a fun job. And there are the moments like I had today, where I overheard one student say to another "You can't fail art. There is no right or wrong way to do it." And I realize they ARE listening. And then I think I may stay on another week.
I got coupon books too this year. I have already cashed in a few. I used to give them to my mom and she never cashed them either- it used to make me feel like she didn't really like them. My kids were pressuring me to use mine- so I made Jess go get the mail. Then Justin started putting all these restrictions on his "um mine don't work on Tuesdays". But today he asked if I was going to use the coupon and make him zip his own coat (he has this rule that I have to do it at home and he does it elsewhere) so I did! Any mother's day without vomit is a good one in my mind.
ReplyDeleteThe part where you plan on bringing your 12 coupon books to AJ when he is 20 and in the frat house was totally hilarious. I will pay you $50 bucks to do that and I wanna come with when you do it. I'll bring my camcorder.
