Vacation day 5

Vacation Day 5:
So, today, I dug my car out of the snow and picked up Preschool Queen and Captain Contrary. He had an Odyssey of the Mind meeting in town, so PQ and I dropped him off and ran some errands before picking him up. Now a random fact about myself that most people don't know... I love office supplies. I used to joke that was why I became a teacher. You know, notebooks, pens, highlighters, clips... Love that stuff. Especially when you can find cool ones. Staples has absolutely awesome new clips and highlighters. I'm pretty psyched... see the simple things in life sometimes make me really happy. So, we picked Captain Contrary back up and we went out to lunch and then were on our way home. He's such a cool kid. We were sitting in the parking lot at Kmart, and he and I were goofing off and somehow we got on this conversation:
TG: I know you love me even if you don't say it regularly
CC: I know you do. Mommy says that I should say it to you more, though.
TG: It is nice to hear because you are the coolest kid
CC: I love you lots Auntie TG...
And there it is. That kid just warms my heart. What a rockin' little guy. (although he told me that he takes issue with me calling him little. He now stands up to the bridge of my nose. Now provided, I'm 5 foot nuthin' but he's EIGHT)

So I got home and had every intention of doing some homework. The boys were both in the virtual classroom so we started emailing each other back and forth. They were hilarious to say the least. One of the things that we have to do is post a biography so that we can get to know each other. One person posted some information that "you have to know." And to be honest, nope, I didn't have to know it. So we were discussing that, and at the same time, I was on the phone with Lead Momma. (I can multitask, you should be impressed)... Anyway, she and I started talking about things that she thought I should post under the description: YOU HAVE TO KNOW THIS... anyway the list is HILARIOUS. I must share it here... (warning... if you are easily offended, don't read this)
You have to know that I am into a former porn star and believe that reaching out to the men in the trenches is a special gift I need to share with the world.
.....
You have to know that in a former life I was the Queen of England, so I already have a lot of diplomatic experience.
.....
You have to know that at Condom Depot.com they are having their Spring Lube Blow Out Sale
.....
You have to know that when sheep buck is just makes it more fun.
.....
You have to know that Belarusian state television on Sunday showed "a dirty homosexual orgy" during prime time. The country accuses a Latvian diplomat of starring in the video and distributing pornography. No way say the Latvians.
.....
You have to know that if you're in MISSISSIPPI: Don't experiment with S&M or you'll run afoul of a law which forbids "the depiction or description of flagellation or torture by or upon a person who is nude or in undergarments or in a bizarre or revealing costume for the purpose of sexual gratification."
.....
You have to know that the LoveSwing is on sale for 40% off at HealthyActive.com and it can hold over 400lbs....man that's some lovin'.


It made me snort I thought this list was so very funny!
Anyway, that's all for today! I continue to be really bummed that one of the boys is having issues with his internet connection and we haven't chatted lately...
