He may look like his dad, but he’s all me! August 28, 2008

Well, I guess not all me. He does have some of his dad’s qualities, but sometimes the qualities that C has picked up from me just shine through. For example, his over the top graciousness when he gets something he wants.

My roommate Darryl is working over by C’s sitter today, and offered to pick up C when he was off of work so I wouldn’t have to drive an extra 10 miles out of my way. I wanted to run it past C first to make sure he was okay with that. So I called C, and this was his response, “Oh yes. Yes, please! That would be just great!” I could hear the smile on his face.

I felt like I was talking to a 40-something sales lady at Macy’s, not my 8 year old boy. I laughed, to which of course C wanted to know what I was laughing about. I could only reply, “You are so funny, my little man. I love you so, so, so much!”

This picture is kind of old, but I love it. It was taken last October at Leann’s daughters birthday party. The cocked head, the wide eyes, the slight bit of attitude that he’s projecting. Man, I love this boy. I cannot believe he is going into 3rd grade. Where o where does the time go?

Nothin’, But a Good Time! August 28, 2008

So last night I called the Ex (his name starts with B too, so we’ll just call him X) to see when to expect him on Saturday morning. He was 1) shocked that I had actually called because I much prefer to text, and 2) glad that I called because he had a question for me. A co-worker of his had been given free tickets to Poison! X said, “Now, I don’t know if this is something you’d be interested in, but I can get tickets to the Poison…” that’s where I interrupted and started screaming, “YES! YES! YES!” I think he was a little shocked by my overwhelming excitement. He said the tickets aren’t fabulous, but still…it’s BRET MICHAELS! I don’t think the amphitheater is that big, so it will be fine.

 

 

 

 

 

I need to give a big shout out (do the kids still say that these days?) to Tiffany at My Random Wisdom for giving me a heads up that Poison was even touring. Damn Rock of Love (1& 2) has led me to develop a very strange crush on Bret Michaels that I really don’t even understand. I love to make fun of him, but at the same time totally want to jump his bones. Even though he’s a total man whore. Dirty hot. Speaking of dirty hot, I’m seeing Kid Rock in a few weeks. Mmm…now he’s dirty hot. The ultimate bad boy that you know would be so much trouble, but so.much.fun.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

*Edited to add…does anyone else notice how abnormally high centered Kid’s belly button is??? Hu.
