So.........you know know your getting old when,on a beautiful Saturday evening writting a tidbit in a blog sounds like a fasntastic idea!  There was a time when a few drinks a few friends and a lot of shananagans was what was on the agenda for the night.  Now that I have wrote that a drink actually doesn't sound like a bad idea, I'll be back!!!.......................................................................................................................Ok So a coconut rum and Fresca in hand ( try it it rocks!), I don't drink wine ( headaches ) or beer ( ewww gross)  so I'm stuck with a refreshing  drink poor me :).

Since my last post I have been thinking, " What do I blog about?"  Am I supposed to write something about a hobby with helpful hints or am I supposed to write about somerhing prolific to do with my world views! Since I really don't have any helpful hints, I think I will  journal, without   revealing to many deep dark secrets.  Truthfully I'm not that interesting.  I go about my daily routine, some things I find funny others just irritate me.  For instance:

This past couple of weeks I have been trying to get the boys a little organized for back to school.  I am not one of these parents who goes out and buys a new wardrobe for each kids just because school is staring.  I buy shoes etc when feet grow.  Now keeping in mind that I have two in highschool so indoor runners aren't needed for them.  I have been focused on the younger two who need a few things.  I got that done and then proceeded to start on the older boys, first starting with bookbags......  Is it just me or are all the bookbags this year TINY.  Like you would be sending your kids to kindergarten with a snack and one small show and tell TINY.  These kids in highschool need bags with a little more fabric, and backbone!  Especially if your paying $30.00 plus.  So I finally found one and am still on the hunt for the other.  I'm hopeful that I will find something that pleases me but also that the 17 year old will aprove of, we don't want to embarass him, well yes we do but in a much bigger way than just a stupid bag!!  More like in a come give mommy a kiss goodbye kinda way, it's a big goal of mine to cause as much grief as I can.  If I don't put in therapy have I been a good mother?  I think not!  The unfortunate side effect of this is that it becomes harder to embarass them.  They grow a thicker skin built to deflect and return with sarcasim.  In a way it warms a mothers heart, when her teachings are absorbed and then used aganst her at random.  Every once and a while they take it a step to far but rehning them in is sometimes a small joy " ...oh ya well then forget about driving the car for the next few days if you feel like that!"  Mwahhaaaw, sorry my dark side coming out, it happens. 

I will be glad when school starts on Tuesday, they need to be busy.  Not to mention then they can see there friends there and not loafing around my livingroom all day.  Ahhh school you have been a bitch to leave me alone all summer I have missed you dearly.  I odn't want to give the wrong impression, it's just by the end of the summer they want to go back and it's my job as there mother to help make dreams happen! 

Oh my this rum and fresca  is tasting good.  Don'tworry folks I'm only having the one unless someone insists I have another.......?!?!?  No, OK no shananagans for Tammi this Saturday.  Maybe next Saturday, call me!
