Day 7...time flies

Did you guys hear about this? MY GOD, seriously? How do all of these toys keep getting through and onto the shelves? My mom JUST saw these things in the Walmart advertisement and she was thinking of getting them for my seven year old. It makes me so mad that these toys are not safe....to digest. What? You can't eat these bead looking things? I think it is terrible that there is something out there that can harm our kids, but why would your kid ingest them? I know, I know, things happen. Anyway, back to the Christmas list *marks off aqua dots*

I enjoyed another day off from work, I could seriously get use to this. :) Went to breakfast with my mom, had lunch with a friend, got some more laundry done (and put away, that never happens in my house). It was a good day.

We had parent/teacher/child conference today. I love that beaming feeling you get when you here someone unbiasedly say your child is "great" and that she will "sail through first grade". Hell yeah she is great! ;) One complaint on her managing her time, she gets too goofy in group time and therefore WASTES time. Though the teacher did say that she has noticed an improvement here of late, so she isn't too concerned with it.

Oddly, or not so oddly, her father had not ONE word to say...other than refusing a "helpful reading tips" paper. What? The teacher is offering us a page that has helpful tips for reading and YOU don't want a copy of it? We have shared custody. Adison is with him on many school nights, but you don't want a copy of something that could be beneficial to her reading? Wow, I don't know if that is complete lack of brain cells or if he is just that damn good that he doesn't need any "tips".

So I don't get that man. My current hubby didn't call today as he had hoped. It's all good though. Tonight we took the fixins for homemade pizza to my mom's. When we pulled in Hubby's car was parked in the driveway. My three year old said excitedly, "is that DADDY'S car?". Crap. We have had a whole week of not mentioning daddy, was this going to be the end all? Was he going to start really missing him and going on and on about when is daddy coming home? NOPE. I said, "it is daddy's car, but daddy is not here remember? He is still on his hunting trip." "OK, mom." That was IT. Does Bubba "get" that daddy is gone, but coming home? Does he really not even care or notice that daddy hasn't been here for however many days? Who knows, I am sure it will be a good reunion for the boys.

Hope you all have a happy Thursday. Kids and I are heading down to see a good friend of mine for the weekend. I hope you all enjoy yours, I know I will enjoy mine. :D
