Proud Mommy Moments


This girl is quite the puzzle.  Sometimes she is super sweet.  Sometimes she is silly and making jokes.  Sometimes she and her brother are fighting over who took the last cookie.  She is never easy to wake up in the morning, but the other day when told me how she stood up for her friend I just had to share.  She has a friend at school who is legally blind.  A boy was picking on her friend at lunch time and Emily stood up to this rotten kid.  It wasn't just that she stood up to him, it was how she did it.  As an English major and a lover of words, I am always looking for new and different words and then I share them with my kids.  As result, they gain an interesting vocabulary.  When this boy started picking on her friend, Emily took no time whatsoever to say, "Why don't you take your infinitesimal brilliance somewhere else you ignoramus."  She had to explain it to hear friend.  As for the boy, he was a deer in the headlights, and he walked away.  HA!  I am so proud of this girl.  

I am linking up with EmmyMom and KMama for Proud Mommy Moments

A Leave of Absence

Image
I just wanted let you all know that I am taking a (short) leave of absence. I was feeling under the weather last Friday, and Saturday I was a lump. By Monday I felt almost normal again. Tuesday even better! By Wednesday night the whole left side of my face felt completely packed. Today(Thursday) I am at death's door. Or maybe it's at mine! All I know is, I haven't felt this crappy in a long time. I spent the day at my mom's and mostly slept. Thanks Mom. Now Rich is home and he is running the show. I shall return...as soon as I stop feeling like this.

Dancing with the Stars---Dead

That is how the show was introduced on Halloween night.  "Dead, from Hollywood, it's Dancing with the Stars!"  with your host, Tom Boooo-geron! Oh and Brooke who didn't get a play on her name.  Tonight, the dances are all spooktacularly themed.  Plus there is also a team dance. David and Kym 1-800-868-3406 David and Kym are dancing The Cha Cha and David wants to add magic to the act, so they bring in a professional magician to help with some basic tricks.  I enjoyed their Cha Cha.  It was fun. Len said it had  lots of tricks and treats and that David turned himself into a dancer! Bruno told him he has got the prestige, and that he was a natural at turning tricks. Carrie Ann said his improvement was phenomenal. She said he was polished and finessed, but that he needed to work on his holds. Scores: Carrie Ann:  8 Len: 8 Bruno: 8 Total: 24  JR and Karina 1-800-868-3410 JR and Karina are dancing the Tango to Ghostbusters...
