I made it. *sigh of relief*

Yay - we survived my Shadow's first day of school!!! 😁 I feel so relieved; today went over pretty smoothly. I was pleasantly surprised, although it was bittersweet. We (me, Shadow, and The Nick) were all excited, but I think I was the only one who was a little sad about it. I guess that's the mom in me. We never want our babies to grow up. That's a really hard thing to deal with sometimes because you know you have to let them go no matter how hard it is to do so. But I'm really proud of myself - I didn't even cry. OK... well, I did a little on the way to work, but I contained myself better than I thought I would. I think that was mostly because of Shadow - he was all smiling and happy so I knew he'd be fine. 😊

Now to brag a little:  I got a call from his teacher a few hours after I got home and she said he was the best student in the class. She was telling me that he used good manners and did what he was supposed to do without being told more than once. And she said she looked forward to having him in her class the rest of the year. That freakin' made my day. 😁😁😁 My kiddo ROCKS!!! 😁😁😁

Allergic reaction, perhaps??

Well, I've had a pretty rough week. I've been all stressed out over my kiddo starting school (tomorrow's the big day) and so I haven't been sleeping much... it sucks and it helps nothing. I've been broke for two weeks and that's never good. This morning I discovered that I had no more toilet paper. And on top of all that I found out my rent was increasing - which made me believe that my head was just going to explode right on the spot.

As if all of that is not enough I turned into a giant freak in front of Nick and one of his friends. She just walked up to us in the mall - didn't say or do anything out of the way - and I proceeded to have a panic attack or something... I don't know what the hell it was or what it was about. But I didn't like it. All I know is that I couldn't breathe well, my heart was pounding, I felt very hot and started pouring sweat, and my whole body felt tense. It baffles me. I don't have any negative feelings towards this person - she seems really sweet... maybe I'm just allergic to her. I know - that was a dumb thing to say, but it beats the alternative of thinking that I'm so stressed that it takes absolutely nothing to put me over the edge. (That was me trying to remain optimistic).

On the bright side one of my good friends took my son to Fuji last night and had some pretty funny stuff to report back. We learned that my Shadow is afraid of fire; I was told he spent most of the evening hiding in my friend's armpit. He also doesn't like sushi. Probably the funniest part was when Shadow told me he didn't want to go back there because they threw food at his head. 😂 My friend told me that they tried to ring his mouth about six times, but kept hitting him in the head and once in the eye. I can barely type this I'm laughing so hard. Now I feel a little better. 😊

THE END

"... so I vacuumed his head."

Today when I picked up my kiddo from daycare some stupid kid had thrown sand all in his hair...if you've ever seen my kid you would know how much that sucks. His hair is pretty long. It was too early in the afternoon to give him a bath and wash his hair and put it back up and we had something to do so I opted to vacuum his head instead. Before you start thinking "child abuse" know that I used an attachment; I didn't actually run his head over with the vacuum cleaner. 😝

Speaking of my kid - he starts school next Thursday. Orientation was last night and I cried. Three or four times. I'm really excited, but at the same time it's like I'm losing my baby. And I feel overwhelmed at the thought of it all. It's going to be a big change for the both of us, but he's really excited too so I'm sure we'll survive. I just can't believe he's old enough to go. Damn. 😕

But on the bright side I have the lovely Nick backing me. He was at orientation with us and he seemed really happy / excited, as well. He always makes me feel better. I really appreciate all of the support he gives us - he's one of those friends who's there - and I don't know what I'd do without him. Hey, Nick, if you're reading this (which you had better be since it's your fault I'm here) I appreciate you and you were really super-sweet the day of orientation. That really meant a lot; thanks again. 😊

***** A word from the wise (and by wise - I mean me):   Most people don't hear that they are appreciated nearly enough. That's something you should make a point to tell the important people in your life once in a while. It makes a difference. I'm for real. And I'm done. Later, cupcake.

Anniversary

Today is the anniversary of my first accounting job out of college. Yay me. I've managed to keep my job for a year. That's a record for me, but I've only been a part of the working world for about four years - one of which I spent mostly in college. So anyway, I'm pretty happy about it. That's all.

Boxers or Briefs?? (You too, ladies.)

So how's about some answers to this all-important question? Boxers or briefs? Personally I find the hybrid - known as the boxer-brief - to be quite comfy. Did you know that they make those for the ladies now? Every girl should own a pair. They don't get in your ass the way panties tend to. And they don't bunch up under your clothes like regular boxers. And I love the fact that I don't feel like I'm scarring my kid for life when I walk around the house in them. I'm hooked. 😀

I know the thought of female boxer-briefs may sound really un-sexy at first, but I feel pretty attractive when I wear mine. They don't come down to your knees or anything. They're really short actually; they have just enough leg in them to keep 'em from crawling your ass or flashing body parts when you sit certain ways or bend over. Most definitely a worthy investment I would say. If you read this and decide to go look for some I have also seen them advertised as "boyleg panties" and "boyshorts" but they all have the same basic concept. Anyway, I just felt the need to share something relatively new and awesome with whoever reads my stuff and maybe even get an answer to the eternal question:  "Boxers or briefs?"

***** Ignoring the fact that you can now have the best of both worlds - my answer would be boxers. ***** Later! 😁

Crap and "Hello Kitty" Kotex

So I think I enjoy writing crap and posting it for the world to see. Well, for anyone interested I just spent an entire hour of my life trying to figure out how to re-size pictures so that they would fit on this site. It's cool though; I like to learn stuff. Knowledge is power. I'm for real. 👀

And now - on to my Hello Kitty Kotex. I bought them off eBay. I should take a picture of that for ya. It's so bizarre to think that other countries put cartoons on pads. (They came from Hong Kong). That seems a little weird to me. By the time you are old enough to get your period are you still into cartoons enough to want Hello Kitty on your pads? Or maybe they're, like, training pads... kind of like pull-ups for toddlers. But who would want to drown poor Kitty with old uterus? That's just sick. But, well, kids don't mind peeing and pooping all over their favorite cartoons, so... Ooh! Hey! Or maybe it's just a clever pun. As you pull up your panties you could be all, "Hello, Kitty" (as a reference to your vagina, that is).

*****You should acknowledge your vagina daily.*****

Or maybe I'll just finish it Saturday...

Hey, what was up with not being able to log back in last night? That sucked. I was going somewhere with my babbling (I'm sure of it). But now it's gone forever. Oh well.

Anyway, I've had a chance to look around here some and I guess this is ok. Kind of neat. But what's up with all the "I'm bored" blogs? That seems like a dumb name to give a blog. Yeah - I'm going to read something entitled "I'm bored." That sounds so interesting. Boredom.... uh, great. Have fun with that.

I rarely ever get bored. It's hard to get bored when you have a 5-year-old to take care of / play with. Example:  My son just informed Jessie (my sister-in-law) that he "nailed his GI Joe." See, he's playing with one of those nail / pin toys that make the impressions - like they have in Spencer's. I still thought it was funny.  😂

But, anyway, I'm too easily amused to get bored. And it's like there's always something I need to be doing. And when I have nothing I'm just content to have nothing to do (mostly because I never have that - life as a single working mother keeps you quite busy). Or I dance or tap on my new set of drums (which I still haven't posted a picture of. Sorry. Maybe I'll work on that soon).

Well, I guess I will be done with this one. Stay tuned for "Hello Kitty Kotex," "Vagina Cups," and "I Can Piss Standing."

Later,

Blu
