As you all know things have been peachy keen on the homefront. NOT. I would like to point out that tonight was not that bad. Why? I think she was worried. I printed off her grades off of Edline. Edline, I would marry Edline if I could, really such a wonderful, wonderful little website. Who would have thunk it...a tiny little website can hold the future of so many teens in the palm of its hand. No longer can teens hide grades and homework from their parents. I love edline.
Edline did not have good things to report to me. Bearer of bad news for YARM13YOL. She was utterly shocked to find out that she had a science test last week. I think that maybe these teachers are out to get her, putting those grades on edline, how dare they? Other exciting things happening at Butler Manor...I cleaned her room from top to bottom. 2 huge black trash bags full of CRAP. YARM13YOL: "I Could do that, if you would just give me a chance! But no, you won't give me chance to clean my own room." ME: "I've given you a chance everyday for the last 12 years, to clean up your room on your own. How many more chances do you need?" YARM13YOL: "A lot".
Last week I mentioned that I watched the Democratic National Convention, well, mainly because I couldn't find the remote control and I had just exercised on the tread mill and really couldn't make the long journey from the chair to the TV to change the channel, if I had the energy to do anything, I would have called 911, pressed charges against the tread mill for taking advantage of me like that. (its laughing at me now as I type this). Anyway, I felt like I owed it to the Republicans to watch their national convention. Why are the republicans not as exciting as the democrats? I could compair them to a soap opera, but I won't. I have to say this...Palin had me when she SOLD HER PLANE ON EBAY. Now that's what I'm talking about. Thats my girl. Still, the republicans just didn't make me feel the WOW factor. Maybe it was because I was listening instead of watching. TheMoreTheMessier was waiting for someone to address the price of our beloved candy bars going up. The republicans let her down too.
Some of you are dying (I know a good funeral home) to know why was I listening to the Republican National Convention instead of watching. I'll tell you. One more time, I was playing with glue and glitter. Taylor is running for student council. So I was making posters, helping her with a speech, cooking dinner, quizzing YARM13YOL unnecessarily because she never has tests, and listening to the Republicans. I am talented. Thank you, Thank you...
Things I loved today...
- Cleaned YARM13YOL room, find some of my stuff that has been missing.
- There really was two trash bags of crap in YARM13YOL room, seriously.
- Now YARM13YOL room is cleaner than mine.
- Spent 30 unstopping my vacuum.
- YARM13YOL studied from 5 to 8, and remembered nothing she studied because I was not specific about the words I wanted her to read...
- Made posters for Taylor for Student Council who was worried about how to wear her hair for her speech.
- Taylor: will I win a trophy, Me: no, you get a spot on the student council, Taylor: oh, whats that. Me: Are you serious?
- I LOVE LOVE LOVE GLITTER. (she says sarcastically.) I love to get it on the floor, on me, and I really love to get it in my EYE.
- Glitter is hard to vacuum off the kitchen floor, carpet and kitchen table. It is not hard, however, to suck it out of the bottle when you bend over and you do not pay attention and accidentally stick the vacuum wand in the glitter container and suck up $2.50 worth of glitter in 2 seconds.
- Notice a Wal-Mart sack sitting behind the kitchen door and discover TWIX CANDY BARS and everyone in the house is asleep and will never know (until they read this post) that these candy bars existed because I ate them all while pounding out this exciting post about my wonderful night. I run excitedly to my chair, rip open the sack, turn on the computer and connect to the Internet, open the first Twix and take that first bite. Heaven.
- Rain, rain, and more rain.
Oh, I love this little boy, 7 years old, on Jay Leno, he just said that he thought that the Russians would never win a medal in the olympics because he thought they were all drunk. He's part Russian, but he doesn't drink yet. How funny. He's playing the piano...I'm impressed
