Daddy I have a boyfriend....

WHAT?!?!

What does that mean JC? Well there is a boy in the other class (at school) and I told him my name and he remembered it. He told me his name and I remembered it. So he is my boyfriend....

....

A new hobby...

So I bought myself a guitar. I thought it would be a good way to learn a new hobby other than video games. I can also play for Jamison as she LOVES to sing. I have never played an instrument in my life. This will be interesting.

Wish me luck

Old man's nose

So I believe I have taken the first step to middle age....albeit a bit premature but nevertheless.

I have developed what I will call "Old Man's Nose". Old man's nose is an affliction that commonly affects older gentlemen's noses. The symptoms are a constant state of whistling or whistling type noise coming from the nasal cavity. Most common causes are dried boogers that restrict the flow of air in and out of the nose.

You can commonly hear OMN when the afflicted are napping or talking on the phone. The whistling occurs when a breath is taken in. As gross as it sounds, I have done my best to have a clean nostril area and yet the OMN seems to remain.

I am starting a support group for those affected by the hideous disease. We have established an account at our local bank for anyone wishing to donate money to finding a cure.

A truly unexpected occurance....

So I have been playing online games with my XBox360 for several months now. I have met several people that are very nice and pleasent to play with. There are a few that I play with more than others. Last night one of them asked me to speak with him privately. He wanted to share some personal thoughts and feelings regarding what had been happening in his life recently.

Basically he told me about some frustrations with his girlfriend that he likes a lot. She is going through some hard times surrounding the death of a family member. He also revealed some not so great moments in his life (suicide attempt and heavy marijuana usage resulting in an arrest and jail time).

But he felt he was being pulled or called for a greater purpose and that he had not found what that was. I share a little bit about my belief in God as well as my recommendation that he needed to seek counseling.

It was an interesting experience. One that I never thought would happen in this environment.

Servant

So we are at Applebee's tonight and JC says "There she is." "Who?" we asked "Our Servant" (as she was pointing to our server)

Broke Hearts

JC came home today from kindergarten. I asked her how recess went as she has been having issues with the girl that is seemingly her best friend. You see the girl has "not allowed" JC to play with her good friend Nick. We found out from Nick's mom that JC and Nick had "broke hearts" because they were not allowed to play together.

B emailed the teacher to ask if anything could be done to help JC become more assertive and not allow another child to tell her what she is allowed and not allowed to do. Apparently today on the playground the teacher brought Nick and JC together (with the pushy girl in tow). the teacher told JC and Nick that they were allowed to play together.

Well this little girl was not to happy and she told JC that she did not want to be friends with her. JC did not miss a beat. She just went over and played with Nick as well as made new friends. When I asked JC about it she said that her and her friend "broke hearts" today because she didn't want JC playing with Nick. Oh well~

From the mouth of babes....

So the other day I was napping with JHGIII. I had rented a pay-per-view movie called 300. I didn't get a chance to see it in the movie theater (when do I ever get to go to the movies). I digress. Anyway, the movie reached a point to where one of the main character's son got his head chopped off. Right after his head fell to the ground JHGIII woke up. He looked at the TV and said "where him's head"?

A small occurance from this morning

So there we were laying in the bed this morning. My family came upstairs to wake me up. I was laying on my stomach and JCG and B were laying next to me. Where was JHGIII? Oh, there he is, he is rubbing something on my back and saying "Rooolllllleeeeerrrrcooooaaaasster". Awwwww how cute is he? Wait, what is he rubbing on my back?

Just one of B's tampons still in the wrapper.
