Where you belong

Location: Women's bathroom. Target.

Characters: Eli and his mother

Eli gasps suddenly.

Eli: "Mom! Are we in the GRILLS bathroom?!"

Me: "Yes. We have to go to the girls' bathroom because Mom is a girl."

"I am NOT a GRILL. I DON'T BELONG HERE!!!!!" Eli screams.

(All the ladies in the bathroom are laughing now).

Me: "Eli, next time we will have Daddy take you, ok?"

"I'm a BOY, MOM!!!! NOT a GRILL!"

Got it.

I've been put in my place. Now we all know where we belong. 

Creeak

Creeeeek.....It's not Halloween. That's the sound of my joints. That's the sound of the jar of my glucosamine-chondritin opening..you know...Osteo-Bi Flex supplements? For my old lady joints? I knowwww.  That's what happens when you try to play soccer against your kids on their last night of practice. Nice.

Talk about it being forever since I've put anything up here. You know where I've been? Soccer. In the rain, sleet, sun, and wind. Soccer. And class. And work. And Target. Like always. Nothing new really.

But I do have news.

No, I'm not pregnant. Get over it. I won't EVER be pregnant again.

But here it is: I got accepted to be a new writer for the Des Moines Moms Blog!!!!

WHOOOOHOOOO!!!!!

My sister, who totally rocks, and writes for the Iowa City version, wrote me on fb and said, "You should do this". I ignored it for a few days and then wrote back and said, "Ok, but if I don't get it, you owe me a blizzard." (Preferably Yule Flip Peppermint Chip....if it's back on the market by then).

But then I totally got it!!! Yeeeehawwww!!! I met the ladies the other night and they are so awesome. I'm excited to get started. It will be adding something new to my repertoire......so now it will go something like this:

Soccer, basketball, sleet, sun, snow, wind, rain, soccer, Target, work, class, WRITING FOR MOMS BLOG!!!!!, soccer, basketball, snow, wind, rain........(please note that cleaning is not on my list).

Isn't life grand?!!!

Thanks, Sis :)
