Epiphanies

Yummy Thai Bamboo takeout – Penang curry, tofu with peanut sauce, chicken spring roll and grilled pork chops.

Had circuit training today and Caedon had an unfortunate encounter with the soccer ball which resulted in lots of blood gushing from his nose and onto his clothes…

Facebook changed things again…

Teaching about not slacking on feeding the dog which is C’s job but which Justin loves to do…

Daddy to Caedon: If you’re not careful, Justin will take your job and take your money…
Justin pipes in: I love your money!

So we watched some news show that was reporting on how male models were in a store to assist women in buying clothes for the men in their life by trying out the clothes for them.  They showed men with their shirts off.  C saw them and went “ew”.  I asked him why.  He said he didn’t like seeing their “hairy nibbles”.  ROFL.

Guess life got in the way.  Things have been so hectic lately, I hardly have time to think.  ACE started today.  C started Karate and B started guitar.  The karate teacher is just too laid back to command any kind of respect.  He doesn’t really have a way with kids either.  C seems to enjoy it so far though so I guess I can’t complain.  But if I were to enroll my kid in a real karate dojo, I definitely would not go to his.

B starting guitar is cool except I think the ACE coordinator really should have scheduled guitar on a different day.  Monday and Thursdays are music days and the likelihood of kids having another musical instrument to carry is high.  So not only does B have to bring a violin, he needs to bring a guitar also.  It will be ok though.  Since I have to bring C in for karate anyway, I’ll just have to drop off the guitar each time as well.  What a pain.

We’ve been cooking brown rice the last two nights.  It’s really not that bad at all.  I really want to eat healthier.

I met a woman in the park, Ashley.  She was the nanny of this little 18 month old girl whose name I couldn’t even spell out if you asked me.  They’re Italian.  She was pretty cool, we chatted for a bit.  J was really cute.  I wanted him to get used to sand seeing as how we’re in California now.  I let him eat sand once so that he would know not to do it again.  It did discourage him for a bit so that was ok.  I think he’ll forget next time though and do it again.  This was a big change from the last time I let him sit in the sand.  Last time he didn’t like the feel of sand on his toes.  This time, he was practically swimming it and had a lot of fun swishing it about.  He’s so cute.  I need to bring a camera next time.  I could only take a photo from my cell.  Oh well next time.   I need to think about how to schedule his naps though because he was pretty cranky today from lack of sleep and now I’m cranky from having to deal with it.

So the kids want me to buy them a membership at Club Penguin.  It’s $6/month though!  Rip off.  Anyway, I said no because school is starting soon.  I can see why kids are prey when they start online chatting so early.
