CHOCK IT UP TO OLD(ER) AGE

So this evening as I was getting in the shower I decided that I wouldn't wash my hair because I am going to exercise in the morning.

(OK probably not but a girl can pretend! )

So I get in the shower and realize that the girl's have taken my shampoo and conditioner so:

I get out of the shower

Run to the other bathroom

Grab my stuff

Run back to my bathroom

Put it back where it belongs in the shower

Only to realize...

I don't need it - I'm not washing my hair tonight.

OLDTIMERS AT IT'S BEST! :)

Have a great day!

Conversation with Matilda

Mom:
I think that I am a little biased with how pretty you are because you are starting to look like I did when I was younger. I will have to show you a picture when I dig it out...

Matilda:

Was it in color?

Conversation with the water guy

OK so we have gotten A LOT of rain over the past few days and while I was walking out to my awsome van yesterday I noticed that there was a lot of water around my water meter pit so I lifted up the HEAVY lid (can you see my muscles?) and found that the whole pit was filled with water and there was this ssssssssssss sound. So I call the water dept and they say it is probably from the rain but to call back tomorrow (today) if it is still full because it should drain out.

Fast forward to this morning...I am taking the kids to the last day of summer school (good bye freedom!) and I step in soggy grass again. I lift up the lid again and it is still full and ssssssssssssssing. Call them back and this is the conversation:

Lady: City hall how can I direct your call?
Me: Water dept.
Guy in Water dept: Hello City Water dept.
Me: Hi, my name is Sunshine and I live on Wonderland street and I called yesterday because the water pit was full of water and today it is just as full.
Guy in Water Dept: OK, well let me get MY CLOTHES ON ( ok...what did he just say?) and I will come on out and check it.
Me: (Laughing hard)
Guy in Water Dept: I mean, let me get out of my street clothes and get my WORK CLOTHES on and THEN I will come out and check.

I don't know about you...but I am beginning to wonder what my tax dollars are going to here at city hall...ha, ha

It's all for Caty

OK Caty...new post coming soon!

Do you know what kind of whirlwind my life is right now??? Even now, I am taking time away from my beloved homework to post this for you! I hope you feel guilty...(HA, HA)


Here's something to tie you over!

Really Good Giggle...

I was searching through a blog this evening and found this...click on the news story link and be sure to read the comments after the story, it gave me a giggle! Thanks Crazy Times!

TRAVELING...Through Time

Oh my goodness! Matilda got to sing the National Anthem with her school choir tonight at a local college basketball game so we got to go watch the games. We made it a girl's night and left Dad home with the boys (they are still sick). OMG we had so very much fun. I forgot how exhillarating basketball games are (when they are live)!!!

It made me think of the old days - do you girls remember that? Practing two hours a day and then playing in the games? The home coach got mad at a call tonight and started stamping his foot on the ground...Do you remember when Coach Eddie did that and the heel of his shoe went flying across the floor?

Why can't old women have pick up games like the guys? Except you K.M. - I will forgive you for the next 6(?) months or so...I miss it so bad tonight...What great memories...

The girl's and I had alot of fun...sorry, no pictures I forgot the camera (yes, I know that was pretty loserish but hey!...it will remain in my memories - right?)

To all my girlfriends from long ago...I really miss you all...Hope you have a great week!
