WTF??

October 7th, 2013

So by now you have read my title....the Lawyer was chatting with her sister on MineCraft an online game via an internal network and told her sister these three little letters....Apparently being 9 doesn't mean you aren't figuring things out quickly due to nasty foul mouthed 13 y/o's thinking they are big boys on the internet and typing these phrases in kids online games. WHICH we thought we had monitored better. So this is where my 9 year old got it even though she says she does not say these words...as if typing it was ok???. But she SURE did know what it meant and she SURE found out what being grounded for a month means! Yep, she will not be joined one with any electronics for one month thanks to that little stunt. And yes she DID know what it meant...

I am not ready for puberty....ever since she sprouted "buds" she has turned in to a night mare. I mean she got her nickname honestly but she is making that name look tame these days. And hormones haven't hit yet! I may have to lock her on some mountain until she gets done...no, better yet lock ME on a mountain until they BOTH get thru it. Yeah, I don't think hubby would go for it either.

Meanwhile, on other hair pulling matters...Have you ever looked at all the home-school stuff out there? I am glad I have a year to peruse things b/c I am going nuts trying to make sure I have all my bases covered! Thankfully, I know a few people who are doing it and have done it...and lived to tell about it. In some ways I am looking forward to it, but in other ways I am completely and utterly terrified. I like the ease of letting it be someone else's problem right now, but this wont soon be true for either kid. I just need to really wrap my head around it better but I can't right now. You ask, Why not right now?". One word...surgery.

My sweet mother is having surgery, electively, on her gut. She has diverticulitis and has had several bowel obstructions over the past two years. She is going to have her gut put in a sack/membrane to protect it from adhering to her abdominal wall since part of her obstructions have been it sticking itself to the walls. If you ask me, it sounds a little like early sausage making except reversed as the gut wall is on the inside instead of the outside...you won't ever look at sausage the same now will you...
Soooooo she is on my mind. She will be 69 this month and they are celebrating their 31st anniversary together tomorrow. Some anniversary present THAT turned out to be! So this means that I will be at the hospital all day, normally no big deal except we are using a hospital some 40+ miles away from home this time. I get the first shift and will stay with her Wed night and all day Th. Dadster gets the rest until she comes home. I do NOT mind helping but since hubby and I both have corporate jobs and busy little girls this is a bit of a shuffle. And I will admit I am a control freak...there I said it. I like control and I do NOT like change and this disrupts my routine. I am apparently a creature of habit and am like an ant with no trail to follow. I get a bit frustrated and stop being effective. Oh, the kids will be fine and hubby does a wonderful job, it just is a disruption to my nice routine. I am a bit more pathetic not that I am older I am afraid...
Regardless, she needs me and my kids and hubby will be fine. I might resort to a stiff drink after and have a possible tic if the Lawyer keeps up her part though...
