Monday means Mumbling. Giving you ten random things that are buzzing through the mind and house of Tooje this week.
1. If Hubs uses the "I tore my knee" excuse ONE MORE TIME.....It was over a year ago, you weren't in shape to begin with, and you were never as athletic as me. Get over it.
2. Did I ever mention, however, that when we first met he surprised me? Guys used to use the "oh, let's go running together" come on, thinking I'd never take them up on it. Well, I took Hubs up on it and he was actually game for the challenge. He went running with my girlfriend and I several times, always holding his own. He didn't drop out until we started training for a marathon. He even went ice skating with me!
3. TO finally had another kiddo give him a run for his money on the soccer field this past Saturday. The kid was nearly as quick and was better at dribbling and controlling the ball. Once T finally figured out how to kick it out of bounds if the kid was close to scoring, he gained some confidence back.
4. I just relived my only B grade from high school Saturday night on Facebook. I can't get over it. Not until that teacher knows how strongly I disagree (not past tense, present) with her decision. Yes, it's been 15 years. Leave me alone.
5. We had a meeting with TO's school peeps this morning - principal, counselor, Kindergarten teacher, and Literacy coaching/specialist. Decision news to be continued......
6. I saw an old lady spin her tires in front of a cop when taking off at a stoplight this morning. Totally made my day.
7. I have OJ looking half crazy now adays, talking to his hands. When he gets frustrated at school, he's been prone to scratching. Everyday that I've dropped him off, we coach about what's appropriate and then we "talk to our hands". He says to them, "BE NICE, hands." It worked on Friday. We'll see about today.
8. I'm a sucker for chocolate. Preferably milk. A chick at work is selling them for her kid's school. Tomorrow, I get my chocolate.
9. TO was invited to a couple of birthday parties this Saturday. The second one we attended was a girl from his class who sent invites to the entire class. Apparently it's not the "thing" to do, showing up to parties of kids or parents you don't know. How sad, in my opinion. I thought it'd be a great way to get to know his friends and their parents. 24 kids - 2 showed up. I think that's crappy.
10. I love my husband. Even if he is a butt most times. He's a good guy.

#9 is cRAPPY! But what a great example you set for your children! :)
And #11 - most husbands are, but I love mine too.
Wow. 2? Now, that is pretty crappy. Poor kid. Although, I gotta say...Sarah's Kindergarten class (public school) didn't do many parties. She went to one...it was a tea party and only girls were invited. weird about this one, though.
Looking forward to decision news...
hope OJ didn't scratch today.
So glad my hubby isn't the only one. I've tried to get him to run with me but he always complains about his knees (he tore his MCL in HIGH SCHOOL, come on!) Yet he has no qualms about playing basketball or soccer...which both involve a lot of running. The stinker!
Mmmmm chocolate. I think I need to make some no-bakes today!
Okay, let me get this straight.... you only got ONE B in high school? Are you serious??? Geeeeeez. I was not that motivated.
I like that OJ is talking to his hands... AND that it seems to be working. That made me smile.
I love your leave a comment message:) Good for you showing your husband your running spirit. My husband and I used to hike but haven't gone in awhile. I think we might go with the girls this weekend with the leaves changing. Enjoy your chocolate tomorrow!
I couldn't run to save my life. I walk...at a semi-fast pace but that's about as good as it gets!
Only 2 kids? That sucks!
Gawd I have missed how dry and witty and fabulous you are - all rolled into one chocolate eating Mama. And can I tell you also that your baby girl is WAY.TOO.CUTE.
And if I didn't already dig you I would know. I love anyone that will love a husband, torn up knees and all :)
Gotta love chocolate!
I have to say I busted out laughing...Be Nice Hands. HA!!!
Hope you're well.
Digging the Friday Funny Faces!
I'm so glad you love your husband even though he's a butt most of the time!...I actually snorted on that one...and I have a bad cold so the snort was rather unattractive!
I think your butt husband is cu-te! I'm just sayin'...
I got several B's in HS - that's so funny that is still bugs you. For whatever reason, with the B's I still ended up 3/650. I think only our valedictorian got A's throughout - he also score 1590 on his SATs with a prep course. Ended up at Harvard. I had no chance of beating him.
And #9 is sad. But that popularity bull sh*t happens so early on in school. It's too bad.
Nothing like a festering, smouldering, annoying, irritating, rankling "B" in High School to grate one's nerves.
If I was that teacher (I'll be generous with the term) I'd be very afraid...
And that poor birthday kid... I hope they enjoyed the extra cake anyway.. maybe it was chocolate..
oh I hate that about birthday parties!! So much preperation goes into it. Didn't they notice when no one was RSVPing? or did they and still not show up? Horrible!
Oh boy, I can already imagine the kid at 25 still talking to his hands.
And yeah, I remember you told me the story of how you guys met. Poor guy. That's probably why his knee is all busted now.
Question: could you post a video of TO and friends playing soccer. I think it'd look sooo cute, those little rugrats kicking a ball half their size :p
And I like chocolate too, but they have to be bite-size. I don't know why, but to me bite-sized chocolate tastes so much better than a regular bar.
