A
solid B+. I have moments of brilliance; A+ moments. Like when one
of the boys dropped the ipad and shattered the screen. 5 days after we
got it. And I didn't yell at him. That alone should get me into
heaven. And I have moments of failure; F moments. Like...well,
there a lot to choose from. But all in all, a solid B+.
Like
the last holiday luncheon at school. The boys were supposed to bring in a
traditional holiday dish to share with the class and I sent in Christmas
M&M's. I could have sent in beef wellington since we did have that for the last two
years. An A+ move but also an asshole move. No one likes those
moms. I could have sent in nothing but that would have been a F move. No
one likes those moms either. I sent in M&M's because they are the only thing we
consistently have every year. That's a B. And the boys got a lesson in
honesty; bonus points! B+!
But
I think my grades may start slipping because the boys have just turned 11. And
11 year
olds are tricky.
Conversation
in the car yesterday:
Sam:
Can we listen to "American Idiot"?
Me:
No, they swear in it. How about "Boom Boom Pow"
Sam:
They swear in "Boom Boom Pow"
Me:
Yeah, but I don't say those words.
Sam: You say 'shit' all the
time.
Me: Not 'shit', those other f words in 'Americ......hey, don't say
'shit'!
<shit,
he got me>
