Random Thought Tuesday



I love this meme! Go random up with The Un Mom and thank her for hosting!

*****
Son is in Summer Day Camp at the local YMCA. For the most part he is happy. He has been going there for 3 summers now. They changed up the schedule a little bit and that part he’s not happy with. They used to swim twice a day and now they only swim ONCE! OH NO! The horror of only one swim time a day! But he adjusted pretty well.

I was there to pick him up last week when the director of the Y pulled my aside to talk about Son’s behavior. Ut oh!  She is THRILLED with his behavior this summer. If Son has a problem in camp, they send him to the front desk to give him some quieter time. But this year, he has not been sent there ONCE. Ms. Louise said she misses talking with him but is happy that he is doing so well. I am SO proud of him!

Last week I took Jaxon to vet to get snipped. He did very well. I was supposed to keep him quiet for last week. Well, the night he came home, he was jumping on the couch and playing with his toys. He obviously didn’t know that he was supposed to be quiet. Silly pup!

I am thinking about letting my hair go back to its god-given color. I’m just not sure I can handle the grays. When Mom was my age, she had lovely salt and pepper hair. Her gray wasn’t gray it was more silver. I guess I can hope that since I look so much like her that my hair will be the same colors as hers. After the summer, I will work on letting it go back to the normal color. This could be a scary process!

Son is heading to his fathers on Friday until the FOLLOWING Sunday. That is NINE whole days without him! NINE whole days where I don’t have to take him to camp, don’t have to nag, don’t have to pick up after him, no lunches to make, no arguing with him over stupid stuff. PEACE & QUIET for NINE whole days!

I’m gonna miss to heck out of him!

What exactly is “random”? Cause while this post is a bunch of mixed up thoughts bouncing from one topic to another, I have had an ongoing list of topics for this post since last Friday. Is that truly in the spirit of “random”?

Oh, Happy Monday! When I got to work yesterday, my boss called me to say she needed me to work in her office at least one day per week, doing someone else’s job. Of course, it was my job when I started with the agency. The person that was in it left on Friday and its one of those jobs that HAS to be done. UGH. So that means that I have to RUN up the highway to the other office (where the bosses are! GROAN), do that job, run back down the highway to my office and do my regular job. That means, there will be no walks with Neicy and I will have to make sure that my Tattoos are covered as they are forbidden by Management. Crap. Hopefully it won’t be for very long before the new person is in and trained. What a monkey wrench in my day!

I upset Son the other day.  There are several ways to get to the Y and I chose a different way.  He said "You are going this way just to hurt me!"  huh?  How is THIS way going to hurt you.  "You know the other way goes by the trains!"  OH!  Right.  Sorry!  I was just in a hurry to get home and MY way was quicker.  His way just goes by the trains.  So this week, we are going by the trains.



Ok, that’s all my random or not so random-ness. Check out the other Random Thought Tuesday participants over at The Un Mom!

  4. My grandma had that whitish-silvery hair too. I hope I get that some day. Right now I color it with the best of 'em.

    The peace and quiet is nice at first but it does get old!

  6. The quiet always seems so awesome till it gets there. Then you miss everyone and the noise they make and the chaos that they cause I would much rather have them around too!
