This is one of my favorite activities, even though it consumes my Mondays and Tuesdays every week. That is also why there are usually no posts on here Mondays and Tuesdays… but a few occurences are worth mentioning today… as I step away from the Civil War for ten minutes.
1. My 15-year-old son has been growing out his hair for a long time. Yesterday he asked me a question I NEVER thought I’d hear… “Mom, do you know how to cut my hair in a mullet?” What in the world? It’s been 25 years since I’ve done a mullet, but I believe I remember how. And then it happened… I was transported back to college in 1985… mullets everywhere. The mullet went down a little rustier than planned (in fact I need to do some repair work tonight) but it made us all laugh until we cried.
2. My 15-year-old son got some running TOE shoes. What in the world? They are red with black rubber on the bottom…. with a little strap just like Mary Jane’s to hold them on his hairy feet. He’s been wearing them around the house all day “breaking them in”… for what, I’m not sure. Maybe running. But he’s a cyclist.
3. Ringo the wiener dog is brain-dead when it comes to house/potty training. Seriously… brain DEAD. This will take a LOT of diligent work. He also tried to chew the back of the Ethan Allen rocking chair. Not good. We initiated the use of the spray bottle today. All I have to add is he’s lucky he’s so cute.
4. Buying SparkNotes from Barnes & Noble online is cheaper and quicker than running down to the store to buy them. Don’t tell my American History students, please. A few clicks…. 44 printed pages… and BAM… I’m smarter than a 5th grader.
That is all for now. Peace out!
