random things from the last few days.....
1. this humidity is going to kill me. please go away. i hate you. and it's REALLY gross that even my blinds are sticking together because they are wet. so. disgusting. (i'm refusing to turn on air conditioning because well, we are poorer than poo right now. oh, and it's the whole stubbornness in me and all. i will win out. it can't be this miserable for much longer right?)
2. the mister's schedule this week has been pretty crappy. okay, let me rephrase that. the mister's schedule is ALWAYS crappy (unless he's home with us :) ) but last night he came teetering down the stairs in his work attire and looking at me all weird. then he looked at his watch, back to me, back at his watch. "it's only 9pm?" he said. "uh, yes?" i responded. he then turned around to go back to bed shaking his head. apparently he woke up after an hour of sleep thinking it was time to wake up for work. got ready and was coming down wondering why i never came to bed, or rather why i was still up. poor guy. that really sucks. (giggle giggle)
"OH YES, WE ARE ALREADY THERE."
elise came to me today with a little gem. a real gem, i tell you. she came up from her room and said.
elise: "today at school a boy named conner told me to do something really gross."
me: "oh, what was that?"
elise: "well, he told me to do something really gross with jacob."
me: slowing feeling the dread build in my stomach. "what was it?"
elise: "well, it's all because jacob had asked me if i could walk home with him sometime after school to play and then conner said we should do something. i didn't really like that he said that."
me: trying not to freak out. "what did he say?"
elise: "he said we should, you know. S-E-X."
me: "uh. do you know what that is?"
elise: "yes, sex."
me: "uh, right. but do you know what that is?"
elise: "no."
me: "i think you do otherwise you wouldn't say it was gross."
elise: "well, conner told me but i forgot."
me: "elise, i really don't think you did. what do you think it is?"
elise: "i don't want to talk about this anymore."
me: "well, i think we should. just tell me what you've heard."
elise: "conner said that i should go to jacob's house have him take his shirt off and then me take my shirt off then we should rub our chests together. he said he would give us $50. but i don't want to do that. that's just gross."
me: "well, i'm glad that you didn't listen to conner and i'm glad that you know that you shouldn't be doing that kind of thing. with anybody."
then elise ran back downstairs before i had a chance to talk anymore. oh boy. i'm so not ready for this. i mean, i'm fine talking about the birds and the bees and all, i just thought i'd get a few more years of my baby staying a baby. i guess we are already there. now the fun begins?
sigh, growing up is so hard....
