September...

When I was in high school, starting my sophomore year september was a sad time. Between my freshman and sophomore year I dated a boy who, in September went to the air force. Between my junior and senior year I dated a boy who went away to college. During college I dated a boy who transferred to a different college than me. September was all about change and I HATE change. There were good Septembers in there too. Actually since meeting my husband Septembers have been very good. We got married in September.
Now there is starting to be another change in September that I'm not liking. School. We got a phone call yesterday from my 4 year olds teacher telling us that his preschool starts September second. This is not his first year of preschool but this year he closer to kindergarten. Next year my first born baby will be going to school all day. He will be doing things that I have no control over. So a person that hates change is not a big fan of her baby growing up.
Once it gets started though, things will be ok. There is part of me that will actually look forward to some time alone with my 1 year old. She hasn't gotten much mommy time.
So I guess if you look at the bright side, if I hadn't lost all of those boyfriends in September I might not have found my wonderful husband. I supposed there is a bright side to sending my baby off to school too!

Whats the point?

What exactly is the point of men's gymnastics? I don't mean to imply that it has no use in the world but they need to work on it's presentation. I am mostly talking about the floor exercises. When the women do this event there is music. They do their little pretend dancer things in between their flipping and flopping and it looks ok because of the music. When the men do it, it looks like a seizure.

Dude looks like a guitar hero

Simce this crazy economy has limited our fun activities the husband and the kids and I rented some games for the Wii. A family video came to our town a few months ago but before today I had not set foot in a video store. I used to rent movies all of the time. Then after the kids I just didn't have the time to sit and watch an entire movie during the alotted rental time. I tried the Blockbust online but I wasn't wathcing enough movies to make it worth my while. Now I am down to DVRing movies off of HBO and watching bits and pieces of them until they are done.
Anyway, we didn't rent videos we rented three games. The first two, "Monster Jam" and Mario Cart" were for the boy and and for the husband too but Guitar hero Aerosmith was for mama. We got our Wii last spring and soon after got the guitar hero III. I was hooked instantly. Since that time I have totally exhausted the same old songs. I as so excited when I started Guitarsmith as my son calls it. I was quickly disappointed though. The game is set up totally different in that you have to play every song. Initially you play some other bands songs, some I liked some I didn't. Then you play the Aerosmith songs. I though I was a pretty decent Aerosmith fan but apparently not. I didn't play a song I knew until I was about 6 or 8 songs in. Then it got more fun. Unfortunatly I am now tired and am going to bed. I'll try it again tomorrow and see but I think I am mildly unimpressed with the guitar hero Aerosmith.
