#1 I’m getting LASIK  – It’s going to cost me more than my first car.  Do not tell me how much money I’m going to save on contacts and glasses.  My break even point is decades in the future.

I’m just saying.

I got my hair cut today, I took the Princess.  I went to a slightly fru fru salonish thing.  I don’t spend a ton on my hair, but enough.  Princess was very jealous of my shampoo – so I inquired if someone might shampoo her, you know to keep her occupied.  When the shampoo girl told me that it would be more than my whole shampoo, cut and style, I fuhreaked.  Point taken fru fru salon, my Princess is not welcome.

Need a new hair girl.

I will miss my hair girl.  She did a great job.  Princess was oohing and aahing and telling me how much “Daddy’s going to love it.”  Who could not want her in their salon?

I took Radical to the eye doctor.  Two hours later we had not been seen.  Ironic?  I think so.

But….

True story.  Someone stopped me in the hall and asked me where they could find my blog.  I swear.

We went door shopping.  Went to two places, one local, one national.  Neither had doors we wanted.  Nothing fancy, just a solid core interior door to reduce the noise level in Hubby’s office.

I could not get the grill going tonight, but had fun playing with fire.  I may need an intervention.

Boog informed me that he “can’t like hot marshmallows”.  I am a failure as a parent.  Who can’t like hot marshmallows?

Felpsy spent the whole day in time out.  But don’t worry, it was properly administered in five minute intervals.  ALL DAY LONG.

I’m going to bed, ‘night.

Yesterday Radical came home completely devastated.  Earlier this year they had a fund raiser, and he did so well that he got a special movie day.  Yesterday was the day they redeemed that prize.  While he was at the lame movie, his class dissected a squid.  Which he missed out on completely, and had been looking forward to writing in squid ink.

I figured our house was chalk full of science geeks, we’d probably be able to handle dissecting a squid, so I did what I always do, I Googled.

Found out that you don’t really need to dissect things anymore, they have computer models you can point and click on to simulate dissection.  Really?  Watch this and you don’t have to do that.

Today, I’m watching a cooking show.  I bet it will smell really good, and taste phenomenal, and best of all, no dishes.  I also bet we lose a lot of weight.

My baby Born of the Body baby turns 10 today.  It’s very hard to believe.  I am still in pain from his size 24 hat head.  Have I told you he weighed 10 pounds?  And came out the old fashioned way?

But since then, he’s been such a joy.  He was the reason that I decided parenting might not completely suck.

I had the privilege of not working while he was young.  We got to do all of the fun things like Kindermusik and Swim & Gym.

His poor teachers were so in love with him they could barely get through a parent teacher conference without crying.  He is so completely low maintenance, he does almost everything the first time he’s asked or before.  Except the “stop fighting with the babies” but he puts up with a lot there.

Now, he’s out there riding his bike and hanging with his buds.  You know what that’s going to lead to, right?  Driving his car and hanging out with girls.

It won’t be long before he’s old enough to understand the consequences of his extremely large head.  It might be time to have him work off that anesthesiologist’s bill.   Until then, he’ll tell me all about Poke’mon and listen to dad read all of the Harry Potter books.

Happy Durpay Radical.  I assume we’re eating at Whataburger?
