Spoiled

Recently we got a PS3... mainly because we didn't want to have to buy a Blueray, and new PS2 (ours died), and a Roku type box and spend a lot more money.

Today we went and traded in our old PS2 games and bought 2 new games for the PS3... one for the kids and I (that can play 4 people) and one for Jer...

Jer got home and fixed a couple of things with the TV (it is having issues, which makes me sad, but at least
Jer knew how to fix it without taking it to a "fix-it" place, which would cost a lot more and have the likelihood of braking it on the way to or from the place. )

Then spent some time teaching Goober how to play the new game... Little Big Planet.

They had fun, and I have to say, I think I'm going to enjoy this game myself!! :)

I wish...

... I could right a good post about how "blah" today is. But alas, when I'm "blah" I suck at not sounding totally whiny in my posts.

The main jist of it is that my legs hurt (which is good, but kinda annoying), my kids have a cough, it's cloudy and cold outside, and I need to go to the grocery store.

blah.

Sent home? Really?

Okay, so the last little while all of my kids have had a bit of a cough. With Missy and Turbo it was accompanied by a runny nose, but Goober hasn't struggled with that so much.

This morning Goober woke up with a cough (not surprised, didn't expect it to disappear over night) and we got ready for school.

I figured that I had woken up with a cough too, and had coughed for a short while (due to a dry throat) and then it died down somewhat... though didn't completely disappear. I figured Goober probably had the same issue. So I sent him out to the bus stop and proceeded to wait for my mom to show up to watch the other kids so I could go get my biweekly beating see my trainer.

After going to the gym to drip on the equipment a bit, I headed home and found my mom and kids gone... they had gone to pick up Goober from school.

Apparently the school called to ask someone to come get him because he has a cough.

Kinda odd really. I mean, I could see it if he was hacking up a lung, but he's not. And he had the same cough yesterday... and they didn't send him home then...

Anyhow, of course I let him stay home, though I wasn't so mean as to make him take a nap (which I would usually do if he were to stay home from school). I did tell him he couldn't play with friends today though... cause, you know, if the school sent him home maybe it's do to worrying about the other kids?

So he had a good day off playing with his siblings, playing on the wii, and watching movies... and occasionally coughing.

I wonder if they sent more than just him home today? Cause if they did, it was probably about half of the class...

Feminism...

 ...most often doesn't mean misandry. If you don't know what misandry means... it's the opposite of misogyny. Misandry is the hatred of men and boys.

Feminism is not that at it's core, though many self professed "feminists" are. I think that is because these "man haters" don't know of a better word for what the feel. That word is misandryist, not feminist.

Feminism is "the doctrine advocating social, political, and all other rights of women equal to those of men." not the doctrine advocating that women are better than men.

Equal.

Or as Jer would say "so really, your an equal-ist." .... well, yes I am.

How is that bad?

Ouch...

Sore.... so VERY sore. Good sore though, cause at least I know that my muscles are getting stronger... but aoooowwwwwiiiii....

Then again, If I wasn't sore I would be wondering what the heck I was doing wrong.

Ahhh the Joys of Children...

Jer: "Missy, why didn't you ask me to do up your buttons?"

Missy: "Cause I don't want them done up."

Me to Jer: "Meh, she always has them undone when she gets up in the morning anyways."

Jer to Missy:"We don't want to see your chest."

Missy:"Yes we do!"

Jer to Me:"When she comes home one day with Marti Gras beads... I'm blaming you."

New Shoes

Yes, I'm blogging about shoes. I like these THAT much. lol Aren't they cute? (Thanks Loni!)

For the last several years all I have had as far as shoes have gone has been a pair of everyday tennies and a couple of different church shoes (one brown, one black.... oooooo adventurous I know...) So when I saw these they were a "must try on" (not "must have" cause I totally don't get killing your feet and getting blisters for a pair of shoes... now for a fit body, that's different!). So I tried them on and shuffled like a little ancient Chinese women (darn those things stores use to hook a pair of shoes together!) around the store for a couple of seconds and decided... "Yup, these are mine" even though I didn't know if I owned anything I could wear them with.

Turns out I have one shirt I can wear them with, and I wore it to church today... just so I could wear the shoes.

Now I just need to find some cute burgundy jewelery to make them go with more "stuff"!
