Who Am I?

I will spare you the gory details

Dec 6, 2007

I'm in a mood and a half....squared.  I will spare you the whining and the venting. I've done enough of it today-and even have a headache from crying on and off.  It's nothing major..just an accumulation of nerves, frustrations, life, and me.  What I will say is that I appreciate those of you who have sent me your stories...David McClain , purtycurls , *Barbara Maria* , and Uncle Egbert .  From the bottom of my heart, I say thank you.  That makes 5..including mine...surely there's a few more who want to see their name in print, want to share their joy or horror from holiday's past...a poem, an anecdote, a story, a song-whatever strikes your fancy.  I'm excited...really excited to do this...so help a girl out, huh?  Thanks...I promise I'll quit bugging y'all about it soon enough.

Since I"m not whining, I'm going to instead share with you three funny Jamie stories....

1. Tuesday when he came home from school (preschool-headstart), as he got off the bus, the busdriver gave him 2 stamps on his hand....because he had been very good. He couldn't wait to tell Daddy or Cassy-but Cassy was at school and Mike was at work.  He was rather disappointed until I told him we could CALL daddy. So we did. I dialed, waited for Mike to answer, and told him Jamie wanted to talk to him. As I handed Jamie the phone, he farted. The first words out of his mouth were not "Hi Daddy" or to tell him about the stamps...his first words to Mike were-"OH, that was just my butt".  Mike died laughing.  Jamie almost didn't get to tell him about the stamps...lol

2. Later that afternoon-out of the blue and for no reason I can discover-Jamie looked at me and in a very grumpy and accusative voice said to me "I wanted to be bald like my grandpa!" I was speechless for a moment, tried to find out why and ended up apologizing because he isn't bald...lol

3. We got snow yesterday. Our first of the season.  Jamie woke up very very grumpy.  Until I showed him it had snowed. Then he was ecstatic.  He wanted to go play in teh snow instead of going to school-of course that didn't happen.  But the minute he got off the bus, he was ready to play. We came inside, went to the bathroom-got on his snowsuit, gloves, etc. Jamie doesn't have snowboots..it's not in the budget, it's on the Christmas list-but especially since he doens't have to walk much of anywhere in it..etc..and it hadn't snow...its' been far from a priority.  SO...we wrapped walmart bags over his shoes and taped them to the inside of his snowsuit.  worked well for no longer than he was out there. Anyway..he loves to eat snow...I keep trying to tell him not too..but he doens't listen much. I took some pics...though I can't share here...and he made a snow angel.  At one point, I turned away and as I did..he decided to eat snow off of a bush...with his mouth...picture pointy branch and Jamie trying to use it like a spoon...while it's attached to the bush....I was afraid he was going to gag himself..lol
Ok, well the kids now want to go out in the snow together...and Mike will be home soon..have to figure out supper as well. I'll try to get around later this evening.

hugs
