Random Tuesday Thoughts

All of the kids waited until this morning, while it was raining, to say “Oh yeah, we do not have any umbrellas. They are all broke”. Jazz is scared of worms so she convinced her Dad to drive her to the bus stop. I just know he was thinking about catching those worms for fishing.

My brother asked to borrow my Ab Roller. I told him sure, so my husband brings it out of the basement.  Turns out I do not have one. I have the Ab Lounger. So now it’s sitting in the middle of my living room because the kids think it is so fun to use.

Pencil sharpeners. Why is this on my mind? Because I can not find a good one that will actually last in my house. I think it is actually a simple request. My kids have to use pencils for homework so all I want is a pencil sharpener that will not stop working in the middle of homework.  We have tried all kinds. The small hand held ones where you just twist the pencil. They have broken hundreds of them. We even had one that we screwed to the wall, like the ones they had in school when I was little. Somehow that did not work well. I even broke down and bought an electric one. They managed to break that one three times before my husband was no longer able to fix it. And no one like mechanical pencils, go figure.

One of my rules for the kids is when I am on the phone, do not ask me anything. Wait until I get off the phone. TJ has started to just stand directly in front of my face to wait until I get off the phone. But I never technically said where to “wait” so he is kind of off the hook for that. But it is one of the most annoying things ever!

I just got my Piggly Wiggly Preferred Club card in the mail. I went there a month ago, that seems like a long time to wait for the cards.

I finally convinced TJ to go get a haircut. He wanted to grow it into an afro which would not be bad if I did not have to ask him every day, “Did you comb your hair today?”
