I dropped Jaycie off at her 1st sleepover. It’s so weird to think of her not sleeping at home. It’s weird to knowing I won’t see her until tomorrow night. I hope she does ok by herself. She said she’s a little nervous but she thinks she’ll be fine as long as she has a nightlight. This is the first time she’s ever slept away without some kind of family around. Max is going to his first birthday party by himself tomorrow. Wow! They are growing up so fast.
So now I’m home all by myself because Ben and Max are in the cities. I’m not quite sure what to do. The house is so quiet…maybe I’ll work on my homework…or maybe I’ll just watch Ferris Bueller’s Day Off!
The house two houses down from us is on fire. When I left to pick up Jaycie I saw the smoke coming from the house and I thought it might be on fire but I wasn’t sure. Then when I pulled out of the driveway I saw there were people standing around so I figured the house wasn’t burning. But when I came back the street was lined with fire trucks! I’m freaking out and I don’t know why. I want to walk down there and see what’s going on but I hate to look nosy!
I just found out Mr. Rogers died. How sad…at least his shows are still in reruns so my kids will get a chance to know who he is. My favorite thing he did was when he was on Arthur. It was the best!
I don’t usually watch all the awards shows but I was so excited about Simon and Garfunkel opening the Grammy’s that I ended up watching the whole thing. Ben is completely in love with Norah Jones. I was so uncomfortable every time she won and went up to make a speech. It must have been a complete surprise to her because she wasn’t prepared and it was painful to watch her up there. I don’t know why but No Doubt sucks live on tv. Everyone else who performed did really well but No Doubt sucked! I didn’t understand the whole Coldplay and New York Philharmonic thing. I called Jodi hoping she could help me understand but surprisingly she wasn’t watching so now Ben and I are left to wonder what the hell was that all about?
On the way to the doctor today, I saw a car with a Norm Coleman bumper sticker then I looked up to their back window and saw that it was full of stuffed sheep (beanie baby type). I laughed out loud!
Max: “Mom, after you die can I go live at Jack and Ryan’s house?”
Me: “What?”
Max: “After you die can I go live at Jack and Ryan’s house?”
Me: “I’m not dying. Do you want me to die?”
Max: “No.”
Me: “Anyway, you are going to live with Cece if I die.”
Max: “But Jack and Ryan have better toys.”
Planned Parenthood Delivers Condoms to Africa and Congress
“Condoms save lives and help prevent the spread of HIV/AIDS. If the president is serious about fighting AIDS in Africa, he must include condom distribution and education in his AIDS initiative. It’s a matter of life and death,” said Gloria Feldt, president of Planned Parenthood Federation of America and author of a new book, Behind Every Choice Is a Story.
Ok-good ahead and laugh… while grocery shopping today I picked up 3 gallons of water. All this talk about war and elevated risk of terror attacks is freaking me out. I’m not concerned about my small town being attack or anything like that but for some reason having the water makes me feel better. I’m smiling just thinking about the fact that I have 3 gallons of water for no reason. I know…I know I’m a freak but something about those 3 gallons of water makes me feel more in control.
