Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally late. For good reason. I was napping both yesterday and today. Sue me.
1. I was blog-absent and in solitary confinement from the internet all weekend long. It was nice, actually.
2. It is now 5:36pm, Tuesday evening, and my backyard neighbor (the ones who smoke all day and night and leave their patio blinds open) lady just came out on the deck for a smoke. In her green bathrobe. With her dog. I'm not sure why the dog makes it weirder, it just does. Oh, and she's got a drink in a glass....my guess is scotch.
3. TO is at music class right now. We had (read: I had) signed him up for these music lessons because they advertised "keyboard" and variety lessons. I was anticipating TO getting to learn the basics of keyboard and eventually try the piano and see if he enjoyed it. Their version of "keyboard" and variety equals an accordion. TO is taking accordion lessons. I was picturing John Legend at a baby grand and instead all I see is polka dots and high stepping. Help me not to judge.
4. OJ has his 18 month wellness visit tonight. I should never schedule this poor baby for night visits. He gets tired and grumpy and it's just plain exhausting for me. Luckily, I was able to get in another 2 hour nap on my 2nd day off today.
5. Funny, with the day off, I didn't do a single dish nor did I prepare dinner. I feel like a huge slacker. I'll be picking up tacos for everyone later. Oops.
6. Till is allowed to be at home alone after school. 6th grade, nearly 12 years old...seems like a decent age to transition to responsibility, right? I just don't trust him. I think he comes home and raids the food and watches television while he does his homework, and he doesn't even do the two chores assigned to him. I'm aggravated. Oh well. People might say "normal pre-teen stuff" but it's not acceptable either way.
7. I watched four episodes of Sex and the City today. I love that show.
8. I managed to get two blog awards AND two new followers without posting in four days. Do you think the blog gods are trying to tell me to post less?
9. I really needed to make a dent in the cleaning around here with these past two days off work, but I didn't. I feel slightly bad. But then again...I blame lots of things. If I can continue to pass the blame, I somehow feel less obligated to DO THEM.
10. I only have a house charger for my semi-new phone. I took it with me this weekend to my dad's house and of course left it there. I now must go to a store and find a car charger (which is something I wanted to wait and put on my xmas list) to purchase. Oh well. The things we do for luxuries like cell phones.

Yay for naps!
I love it that TO is learning accordian...I bet that's a very age appropriate instrument. Don't be judgin'! LOL
Till needs to get to work!! :P
Work is way boring without you there...how did I ever manage the 7 months I worked there before you showed up?? LOL
Days off, huh? And here I was worrying and fretting about your well-being. Hmpf!
Anywho, happy to hear you finally got some rest and relaxation. Now get back to work, thanks.
P.S. Congrats on your awards :)
P.P.S. Ooh maybe you should install hidden cameras around the house to see what Till really does! No? Ok.
P.P.P.S. (Last one I swear!) I just noticed which mumble preceded the "Till does no chores" bit. Wonder where he gets it from, Taco Lady.
Michelle - I'm sorry you've been bored! At least that means no barking doggies, right? If that were the case, you'd probably be telling me how "annoying" the place was. :) And I'm trying very hard not to judge the instrument....in the meantime, I'm searching for decently priced piano lessons.
DR - If you are concerned, just email! I did check that...once a day. Seriously? I spent zero time on the computer...how weird for me, huh? But you SHOULD be concerned about my well-being...I'm getting slightly crazy. And don't think I didn't think about the hidden cameras thing....of course, as you pointed out, I wouldn't want cameras on me...NOW OR WHEN I was nearly 12. ;) I try and remember how much I didn't do when I was his age. But that always gets blocked by how much I DID do...grrrr. Parenting.
Wow, way to go being away the entire weekend! I really should do that...maybe this weekend I'll try it!
hey! i was wondering where you snuck off too...i have fully forgiven you since you got to take naps. my jealousy is like that sometimes :)
congrats on the awards!! woohoo!
tacos ROCK. i wouldn't feel too badly!
happy tuesday!
