From the Ridiculous to the Sublime

 Some days just go from the ridiculous to the sublime.......and right back to ridiculous again.  That was yesterday. May13,2021...It should have been a Friday!

Report cards came in the mail and I knew I had high expectations and they would hopefully be met.  They blew me away. What Freshman in today's pandemic world, gets a 99.187 average...in advanced courses no less........Mine (and others I'm sure but they're not mine!)  Four 100s and a low of 94.. I am beyond thrilled and living my best day...............till the phone rings and she says, "Come and get me, I've been quarantined!!"  We just got things back to normal..after having to have a Covid test to return to school following a day of allergies.  It's just precautionary and the rest of us can carry on as usual. It's a pain for her as her final art project is in the works, she'll miss her honors assembly and no shooting this week!  I have; however, booked an appointment for her vaccine for quarantine release day next Friday. Not me though...still holding out for some realistic numbers.

In the big picture, the sun is shining and the skies are blue, the laundry's finished and no taxes are due. 

It's a good day....so far!

UPK (U Practicing Kissing?)

 If you never have anything in life, I hope you all have a "Jett!"  He's our own personal Lon Chaney (I'm dating myself) and stand up comedian.  Nearly every day I snap a photo of one of his faces or laugh hysterically over an action, a story or an event in his little, short life.  He has an amazing memory for commercials, songs or anything he really shouldn't remember!  Whether he invites me to look at his ballooning swim trunks and says, "Check out this package!' or remarks in a low, swooning voice in the bathtub that his penis is a "blossoming flower!)

Last week was a topper.  He goes on spurts of watching the same movie over and over.  Everything from Yellow Bird to Boss Baby to Bad News Bears....(T ball just started!)  His Mom got a call from school last week that he was found in the "kitchen area" (one of his favorite play areas) in a hug and lip lock with his new sweetie, Meara! In his defense, we are all about kisses and huggies both here and at his Mom's.  With our chuckles tampered and our smiles hidden, we have all since explained that there are places for displays of affection and school isn't one of them.  I'm not completely sure that the instructions didn't fall on deaf ears but nonetheless, we tried our best to instill the boundaries.

When asked what he was doing, he proudly explained that they "were playing married!"  We're pretty sure he hadn't seen that at his Mom's house (as she's NOT married) and we're absolutely sure she didn't see it here as you must be in the same room in order to kiss your spouse!  However, Darla nd Alfalfa did play "Marriage" on his newest favorite movie, Little Rascals!"

All in all, it was fairly harmless and we're all breathing a collective sigh as we realize he was just playing "Married" and could have been playing "Doctor!"
