Well, it's been quite the week. The Christmas deadline is looming close, and I think I will fail in regards to my knitting projects. I'm thinking about taking a pic of the project in process, adding a little "sorry it's not done, but it's coming poem" and leave it at that. With the boys soon to be home for Christmas break, perhaps I can hide out with my unfinished projects in hand, and relax. YEA RIGHT!!
Just a bit more decorating here to do at the house. I had to go ALL out this year, because last Dec 25th, hubby was in Iraq, and we surely were missing him. So....trying to make it extra special this year, and "Bubba" is right in the midst. Lordy! If he had his way, we'd have ALL the Christmas stuff out I've collected over the past 20 years. Man....he wears me out, but he is 5, and this is soooo exciting to him. Sometimes I'll catch him sitting by the tree staring, and I ask what he's up to. He just says, "I'm just looking." Awww The cat (GI Joe aka Joey) on the other hand has decided that he would rather climb up INTO the tree, rip the branches out (artificial) and knock the ornaments on the floor. I have several trees up, and he's already broken a few of the ornaments by his "looking." Am trying to fend him off with the water spray to the face trick, but unfortunately, Joe LOVES to play in the water. Any suggestions?? He's gonna lose a few of his nine lives if he keeps it up...
An fyi to all my readers... If you haven't figured out yet, I am a sarcastic sort, and I'm gonna assume that if you're here reading, that we are on the same page. If not...please take your eyes elsewhere, 'cause I'd hate to make enemies on my OWN blog. Man, did I ever get a butt-chewing in a group I'm in with one of my posts. It was done in my ever sarcastic tone, with visuals (described), venting a general frustration (no fingers pointed!) and whammo!
Did I ever get the WWF Smackdown. Yowsa! My butt's still stinging, but luckily I've got enough padding on the backside to ease the pain to some extent.
With that said, I'm off to work on one of my gifts that has to be shipped out on Monday. I sense the "I'm sorry it's not done" pic/poem combo may have to suffice, but I'm gonna try my best. Will take pics and post after Christmas. Can't do it yet....that would ruin someone's surprise!!
P.S. My oldest just asked if I was going to write about him on here. I think he's feeling left out since Bubba's been mentioned twice...but I do have a funny story to share. Last Saturday "J-Rod" had the opportunity to take the college ACT exam. Mind you, he's 12 and in the 7th grade. (Proud momma moment here...my kiddos are such smarties, unfortunately in more ways than one..!) Anyhow, he qualified to take the test based on prior test scores. I didn't make a big deal about it, just wanted him to have the opportunity to give it a shot and see how he did. No studying involved, and he took the test along high-schoolers. If you know J-Rod, he's just a wealth of information. He can spit out facts like a textbook and some of it is that "senseless trivia info" that makes us all go Huh?? hee So, I pick him up after testing and ask what he thought. Said he didn't think he did well, but I assured him it was just a good opportunity for him. I said, with it being multiple choice, you know to pick "B" if you don't know the answer. (At least that's what they used to always tell us.) J-Rod says, "No, the teacher told us to pick c or d." Okay. Then, he says that on several of the questions he kept seeing the word OMIT as one of the choices, and he had no clue what the letters stood for, but would pick it anyway, because he thought of all the choices, that was the one he needed. "O-M-I-T?" I spelled back. "Yes," he replied. Needless to say, I had to laugh when I told my brain-for-a-son that the word was omit...to leave out. "Oh, " was all he said.....
Kids. You gotta love them.
