Shadow now wants to play trumpet, but...

Shadow now wants to play trumpet, but take my old snare to school tomorrow.  I think he's having a hard time deciding!  If he gets to choose two instruments he is going with trumpet and snare, as of right now.  😃  I'm anxious to see how this turns out - I will keep you all posted!

Just woke up to the most awful smell ever.

Just woke up to the most awful smell ever.  After a few minutes of freaking out and looking for the source I finally googled what all it could be.  Turns out that I am not the only one to ever melt a plastic cup in the dishwasher.  Blegh - this is headache-inducing. I'm going to try to air the house out for the ani-pals.

So I was just minding my business...

So I was just minding my business, getting ready for bed, Shadow's asleep and all of a sudden his keyboard just starts playing. Not like with the keys - like a pre-recorded loop of something. I open my bedroom door to find a wide-eyed Snaga frozen on top of the keyboard - unsure of what was happening. She didn't move until I turned it off. I think she freaked herself out. 😂😂😂

I hear that the first day of school went well.

I hear that the first day of school went well.  Shadow is excited to go back!  All nice teachers and he got to eat m&m's.  Who could complain about that?  He's such a good kid.  I am so lucky.  🙂

And... he's off. First day of 6th grade!

First day of 6th grade. He's about a half inch shorter than me. He's outgrown almost all of his pants, even the ones his grandmother bought him for Christmas. It won't be long until I'm looking up at him!

So yeah... 6th grade tomorrow. 😃

So yeah... 6th grade tomorrow.  😃  That's nothing - he's ready for me to move out so a roomie can move in and they can go to college and take turns cutting the grass.  No shit - this kid has plans.  He is READY.  ❤

I have gone in search twice this weekend...

I have gone in search twice this weekend for dividers with pockets.  I know they exist because I had some in high school.  Shadow needs some for school tomorrow, but I guess we will improvise.  I can't find them anywhere!
