The 4th grade here had a track meet yesterday. All the elementary grades have one. So...we went to kiddo's track meet. Outside, in 95 degree weather, at 12:30. uggggghhhhhh
He ran the 50 meter dash, luckily it was the very first event, so after he ran, we watched two more races, then left. hehehehe He by far is not an athletic kid. He doesn't run fast, or catch well, or other things. But...I was proud of him, he kept right up with the pack. He got 6th (which there were only 6 runners in that heat) but he was right next to all the other kids. So...at least he didn't get way passed up. I'm just very proud that he tried, and tried his hardest.
Not much else is going on. The gerbil porn is still in full swing. It's gotten so bad, that sometimes I'm embarrassed to look at them. hehehehe A week and three days till school is out. I'm almost as excited as Kiddo. I like when he's home. I'm a goof that way. I would never survive in one of those countries where school is all year long. hehehehe
Oh my gosh, I have to tell you, for mothers day. My son got me the funniest little thing. He got me this pillow for the couch. It's pink and purple. It says SUPER MONKEY on it, and has a monkeys face on the front. Very cute. But you turn it over and on the back....is the monkeys butt!!!!!! There is a fuzzy little butt on my pillow. All I can say, is thank the heavens it's not a red assed baboon. hehehehe
Okay well I got a kick out of that.
I'm gonna go eat the rest of the last piece of cake sitting here. And then try to be productive. Not sure If I'll make that 2nd one, but I'm gonna try.
Happy Hump Day everyone!!!

Yeah you guys get out of school so much earlier than us. We have quite a few schools in the city that is year round.
B - I'm happy to read that you are supportive of your kiddo even if he's not the most athletic.
I used to teach the martial arts to children for a loooooong time (will be starting up again soon btw!!!) and I can't tell you how many f'ed up parents I had to deal with. One lady literally DRAGGED her son into the dojo behind her while she yacked on her cellphone - and then she WONDERED WHY her kid had behavorial problems in my class!
Karate is the way of the empty hand... but I have to say, sometimes I just wanted to take my empty hand and slap those people upside the head.
Remind me to tell you the story of the parents I encountered while I worked at Universal Studios as Woody Woodpecker and Chucky the Rugrat...
I am jealous of your butt pillow. You know, Cadet has never been the athletic kind either, (and hey if you cant be an athelete, be an athletic supporter..hehehe) kiddo just needs to find his THING...(not that thing, he is a BOY trust me that THING was found long ago..)anyhow, I cannot WAIT till school is out for the troll~ings. I always really enjoy the first few weeks of summer.....now if the ETK would just spend some quality time AT WORK...
