Honestly ...

(yes I copied this idea from someone else's blog)

• Is it possible for your child to be described as an Angel at school and then be the complete opposite anything less than angelic at home?  I had a wonderful parent teacher conference with Chatty's teacher.  She was gushing about how smart, sweet, eager, etc. she was.  Her first words to me were "Chatty is an Angel in class!"  Honestly?
• Was it necessary to to make our new Children's Hospital look like the Rio Hotel in Vegas on the outside?  The red lights change to different colors of the rainbow as they go up and down (you can see the purple on the bottom).  While I am all for spending money on a top notch children's hospital, I have a slight issue with the excess that was undoubtedly spent on this part.  Especially since this is the same hospital who at one time sent me a letter saying they no longer accepted our insurance even though they accept people without insurance!  I am not bitter - Honestly!

• It is possible for you to not lose weight while training for a half-marathon and in fact you can even gain weight while training.  Honestly!
• Can one kid leave school early two days in one week and be completely healthy?  Earache on Monday - 1 1/2 hour doctor visit later = nothing wrong.  Vomit in dance class on Wednesday - go home = nothing wrong.  Bia are you looking for some attention, honestly (Bia loves her school - honestly!)?
• I may be more excited about going to Disneyland than my kids.  Yep - Honestly I am!  Probably because I get to see one of my most favorite cousins and hopefully meet Casey!
• I told Chatty I needed a 4 day vacation from her bad attitude.  Honestly! (not sure why I said 4 day but in the heat of the moment it sounded good).
• I wore jeans to work today (we're only supposed to wear jeans on Fridays).  But because my boss is in another state and no one in my department works in this building I decided to do it (and because secretly I am a rebel).  Honestly!

Chatty the Author

Chatty brought this home from school today.  She wrote it last week.  Please excuse the grammatical errors and lack of periods (I copied it verbatim). 

"One day mommy and I went shopping.  I had to go to the bathroom and my mom was going to be very mad at me.  Then I told my mom she was mad at me and she said no I told you to go at home you can not go here at all and you can go when you get home OK Lacey.  OK mommy.  It took so long that I did not go in my pants and I almost went in my pants.  I told my mom I have to go so bad I almost went in my pants and my mom said OK and do you know where the girls bathroom is yes mommy I do know where it is mommy it is down the hall."

Lovely huh?  And parent/teacher conferences are next week!  I guess it's better than her writing about how I like to drink Bud Light, right??
