So says 'Lil Red as I'm having yet another slacker mom moment and forget that Nancy Grace is on in the background and they are talking about bringing in the FBI for identifying Caylee Anthony. This prompts LR to say that she knows what CSI means.
Blondie was absentmindly listening as she was playing the Nintendo DS...she replies...
"I know what Opossi means".
Hmmmm????
The plural of opossum.
LOL....out of the mouths of babes. Gotta love my 5-year-old:-)

The Plauge
Well, I can't say there is a plauge upon my house, 'cause so far I am the only one who has gotten it. Ok....now I've said it and they will all get it. I have never been so sick in my life. My autoimmune disorders were all out of wack from the stomach virus and I hurt terribly in addition to throwing up. Nice....This started Tuesday evening and today is the first day I've felt human and been able to hold anything down (good 'ole chicken noodle soup).
Anyway, so I was late to 2 of the 4 activities the kids had today. Really, that was good considering that if you asked me yesterday if I'd be out and about I'd have told you that you were crazy!
In my defense, I got Blondie to her cheerleading game at 8:55am....the game started at 9am....they were already cheering. So, that counts as late for me, even though I wasn't. Then, I had to quickly change Blondie in the school bathroom (missing the first part of 'Lil Red's ballgame and her first 4 points) for the tea party. Her Lovely Daisy leader agreed to pack her up in her booster and take her to the party. After 'Lil Red's game, we headed down to quickly pick up Blondie so we could come back, pick up LR's BFF and take the two of them to the b-day party. The tea party was running late, so said Lovely Daisy Leader agreed to meet me with Blondie at a grocery store nearby. LR and her BFF were 45 minutes late to the b-day party (whoops) and now I can't find Blondie. Ugggg.... I'm lucky to have someone so reliable (obviously unlike me) to help me with Blondie. Big Red had to work, so I was on my own.
I'm gonna take the girls' Christmas card pics tonight (I've been saying that for a week now, but I AM GOING TO DO IT!!!!). I'll post them tomorrow.
Hope everyone's having a great weekend!!!!!!

How can I NOT be a slacker mom?!?
I just have to say that when I have to juggle, just on this coming Saturday, 'Lil Red's basketball game, Blondie's cheerleading, a triple birthday party 'Lil Red is attending (yeah, 3 kids...3 gifts), and a Daisy Girl Scout Tea Party for Blondie I have no choice but to be a slacker mom. I mean really, something's gotta give. I will inevitably forget something....'Lil Red's b-ball shorts won't be clean or we'll forget 1 of the b-day gifts or Blondie will be late for the tea party.
It's overwhelming to know that I'm going to mess something up....I just have to wait to see what it'll be. Ugggg.....

Well, I finally did it....
I've been saying for some time now that I was going to start blogging. I have a lot of opinions about a lot of topics and this way I can get all that out. This can also be a good tool for family to stay connected to what is going on in our daily lives.
As my blog title alludes to, I often have those "I'm the grown-up?" moments. I'm 30 years old (wow, that's hard to even type), but I still feel like I'm not a true grown-up. I must just be in denial because you would think that with 2 kids, a job, a college education, a mortgage, 2 car payments and tons of other bills I'd get the picture. Sometimes I just feel like I'm playing house though. I go to work, I sign homework papers, I pack school lunches, I do an unbelievable amount of laundry everyday, but part of me still feels like I'm living someone else's life. Maybe it's because I got started so young. I met my husband and got engaged when I was 18 and a senior in high school. We moved in together a few weeks after I graduated, got married the next spring when were were 19, got pregnant with our first daughter 3 months later and on it went.
As stressful and strange of a journey my life has been thus far, I wouldn't trade my life for anything.
