I have one of
the greatest mothers in the world. That being said, sometimes she really
surprises me with the comments or beliefs she verbalizes.
I was skyping
(is that even a word) with her and she told me she had hidden her Jobe plant
food sticks, “Just in case”. In case of what? A fern broke into the house
wanting to eat? I finally realized she was referring to Molly’s Plant food!
That opened up a whole issue with me educating my mother on the reason for the
names these products are called. All this time she has thought that actual
plant food was causing young people around the country to act like pseudo schizophrenic
zombies. I have failed as a daughter.
I feel bad now
because she probably has all her old lady “bath salts” and crap hidden as well,
just in case…..I was really taken aback by her admission as she is pretty savvy
when it comes to the real world. I guess no one told her it wasn’t a verbatim
kind of thing. Again, I am to blame on that one.
Wyatt went to
her house tonight to spend the night. I sure am glad she put up her plant food.
I’d hate to hear that he was exposed to it and turned green and leafy and tried
to eat her face off…
So, I’m down
one kid so what do you do? You allow another one to spend the night. My niece
Cindy ask to spend the night and I said sure, why not. I really enjoy having
her here. It’s like the best house guest in the world chose your home to come to.
My satellite
is out…that tends to happen when you don’t pay the bill. So now I am forced to
watch movies. That, I don’t mind. It’s the fact that I walk in and Jeremy
already had a movie going. He has been watching Transformers. Really, a 36 year
old man is watching Transformers? Is he playing Mario brothers while he does
it? In his footed pajamas? I really shouldn’t give him a hard time as he has
been with the children so much since they have been out of school. I should
probably be glad that everyone is still potty trained and not reverted back to incontinence.
I hate movies
like that, the kind that are totally unrealistic and yet I’m too lazy to get up
and change it. I just turn down the volume so I can barely hear it and try to
do something else. Perhaps I should get my ass up and change the movie, as it
has played twice since I have been home; but I really don’t care. I’d just as
soon see the damn thing burned up, out of the DVD player of course.
The new
puppies are doing great. No accidents. They love me! I came home and they ran
and jumped up and were eager to see me. That was a good feeling, I liked it
more than I could have ever believed.
Ike and Tina
have been “getting to know” each other quite a bit….We have had to move their
cage to our bedroom as I really don’t feel like answering any questions from
the younger children about their “fighting”.
It’s like the time many
years ago when Matthew and I were watching a crime TV show. The narrator
revealed evidence that semen had been found in the van of a suspect…Matthew
(probably 9 years old) who was so naive and innocent, ask me what semen was. I
told him “men who work on ships” and promptly changed the channel. I stopped
watching crime shows with Matthew after that.
New Year’s Eve 2013 has thus
far been quite a disappointing day. I hope that 2014 is the year that I finally
figure life out, without making all the mistakes that I usually do. I wish
everyone (except 2 people and you know who you are) all the best, happiness,
love, hope, health, and joy. I hope it is a prosperous year and the memorable
one yet.
