Today is the first day of school and everything went smoothly. That is until I wanted a goodbye kiss from my baby girl and she ignored me. I said, "Bye baby, be good O.K." She just kept walking and put her things in her cubby hole and started talking to her teacher. I'm glad I was ready for this day and couldn't wait for her to go because my feelings really would have been hurt! Well, I just turned around told her teacher bye and walked to my car with a new since of freedom. Soooooo... Today, I don't have to hear her ask me when school starts, I don't have to hear her ask why she didn't go to summer camp, and I don't have to hear her tell me how bored she is.
HooooooRaaaaaay for the beginning of the school year.

P stands for Penguins and Problems!!
It looks like the penguins have caused problems in my mother's life. I spoke to her today while she was at work and she brought that movie up again. Mom said that after the movie was over and she and my dad walked out he looked at her and said, "I paid $15 for that?!" Then he said, "And I already saw that on Discovery." My mom was P.O'd by that comment. She wanted to know how on earth could my dad possibly think that he already saw that movie when it just came out. Anyway, after she told me about her penguin experience she said, "That movie has really caused some problems in my life!" Apparently she is the only person in the family (Dad, Mom, Me, and Sister) that wanted to see it. She says everybody laughed at her like her interests are just a big joke. Well, it looks like she is getting over the hurt slowly but surely. Hopefully she won't need any therapy from the "Problems" the penguins have caused.
DAMN THOSE PENGUINS!!!!!!!
DAMN THOSE PENGUINS!!!!!!!

I Think I Made A "Boo Boo"
OK people I think I messed up!!
My mom just called to apologize for what she said yesterday. Honestly I wasn't upset about it anymore because I know she wasn't trying to be ugly. Well, when she apologized I told her don't worry about it and that I already got it off my chest. Big Mistake!!!! Why did I say that? She asked me what I meant and I told her that I wrote about it in my blog. So now she thinks that everyone that reads my blog is going to think that she is "Mommy Dearest" re-incarnate.
"No Wire Hangers!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Well people let me tell you something, although I have a very opinionated mother she is a genuinely good person. She is great!! I love her to death. We have our days but that's just normal. I don't think there is a mother daughter duo out there that haven't had some tension filled moments. Anyway, I just want the world to know that I have a good mother. Even on her opinionated days she's the best!
LOVE YOU MOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

One More Thing...
I went golfing yesterday!!! I had soo much fun. We probably looked like a weird bunch walking onto a golf course (Two ladies - one six months pregnant - two children, and two men) but, I really did not care.
So let me tell you how everything went. First of all when we went to check in and pay we found out that there were no more golf carts. So now we have to walk the course with the two kids and a pregnant lady. After that when it is our turn to tee off they tell us that since we are walking the course we need to let the next set of people go ahead of us. As we are walking away to wait a little longer that man that is at the first hole asks us how many people are golfing and we tell them four. So he says we need to have four sets of clubs. What? Why do we need four sets. Apparently that is golf etiquette or something like that. So now we have to get two more sets of clubs. So we now have two kids, two ladies (one pregnant), two men, four sets of clubs and no golf cart. Yes, it was going to be a long day! We finally get to start about 45 minutes after we were supposed to but we get off to a pretty decent start. When we get to the third hole this old guy on a golf cart rolls up and screams, "You guys need to speed it up! You're going too slow!" My husband then says, "What do you want us to do? We don't have any carts we're walking this course and we had to wait for the people in front of us!" So the man says, "Look, either you skip a hole, let the next set of people go, or speed up!" So My husbands friend asks him how many people are there behind us is there a break somewhere if we let the next people go. He tells us no there isn't a break anywhere the tee times are continuous. This obviously upsets my husband because he starts saying, "So what? Are we supposed to just let all these people go and sit around until you close for our turn!" The man says that we should skip a whole then. So my husband says. "NO!!!!! We paid for nine holes we are playing 9 holes!!!!" So the man just says "Well then you need to speed it up then. I can tell that my husband was extremely upset so I ask him if he wants to tee off first this time. He says yeah. So he sets up his ball goes to tee off and "Whack" the ball and the head of his club goes flying. I don't know how hard he hit that ball but I have never ever seen anything like that before. The head of the club was flying through the air like a bird. At first I though it was a bird. I said, "What is that? Did you hit a bird?" Then I see him look at his club and throw it my way. All that was left was the shaft. The head of the club was gone. So you know what was next right? GAME OVER!!! We all just stopped the mood was gone.
When we got back to the club house my husband and his friend went inside to talk to someone about our "Golfing Experience". They game back with four free rounds and two free golf carts. I guess that wasn't too bad. Hopefully next time we will get past the third hole.
Talk to you later!!!!

Apparently I am not Educated enough to Watch March of the Penguins
Today my mother called and told me that she was going to go see March of the Penguins. I guess when I made a slight chuckle she got insulted. She said that something was wrong with me and that if a movie doesn't involve sex and violence I am not interested. Now anybody that knows me knows this isn't true. I watch a wide variety of movies, but I honestly wasn't interested in this. So that is exactly what I told her that I just wasn't interested. I then said that there are many documentaries that I have watched and liked, I just did not want to watch that. Apparently I wasn't the only person in the family that wasn't interested because my dad said, "What do I want to go see penguins for?" So after she told me that, she says she isn't interested in watching movies about "pimps and hoes". She then tells me that one of her co-workers went to go see this movie with her two daughters and they loved it. Now this is the part where my education comes into play. She says how much fun they had and how much they enjoyed going to see the movie. Then she says, "But they do have DEGREES!" What??????? What is that supposed to mean. Only people with degrees can appreciate documentaries. My feelings were quite hurt. I know she probably didn't mean it that way but still that was an ugly thing to say.
If my mom reads this she will get upset all over again. But, I doubt if she even comes to my site anymore since she says she doesn't want to be associated with weirdos. She found out that Joseph Edward Duncan III had a blog on The Blog Spot. She said she didn't want to do anything that a weirdo like that does. I told her that she may want to stop reading, bathing, and maybe even eating too then. After I said that she called me a sarcastic ass but that was just how I felt at the time. Just because I actually enjoy blogging does not mean that I am weird! If that were the case there would be a lot of weirdos in the world given its growing popularity!
Anyway, let me go cook something for my family. I just felt the need to share.

I got an even better offer!!!!!
I finally found a career job. One that I know I can grow with.
Friday morning while I was sitting at home with "The Child" I received a phone call stating that I needed to go to this office to fill out an I-9 form. I had no idea what that was so I asked the lady that called me and she told me it was kind of hard to explain but it was sort of like a verification form. Well after I got off the phone with her I did some research. I just thought it was weird that a company that I interviewed with almost a month ago calls out of the blue to tell me I had to fill out more paperwork. So I went on the internet and Googled I-9 forms to find out exactly what it is. To my surprise it was a form that I had filled out a few times before. But, I only filled this out after I was offered a position. Needless to say I got real excited and started calling everybody in my family to ask them their opinion. I wanted to know if they thought that this was a sign that this was my job, that I was finally about to get offered a serious position. My mother told me to calm down and not to "jump the gun" because I wasn't offered anything yet. Well, I went over to her office and asked for the lady I was told to ask for and told the receptionist that I was there to fill out an I-9 form. She said she had no idea what form that was and she would get the other lady because she would definitely be able to help me. So, she called the lady and told her who I was and what I was there for. I am assuming she explained further to her what exactly I was doing there because the lady then looked at me and gave me this big smile. When she got off the phone she let me know that the other lady would be with me shortly and she said she couldn't wait for me to come help out. That is when I got really excited. Now I still haven't been offered the position at that time; but, I said maybe the lady that called just had a brain fart and forgot to let me know that I was being offered a position with the company. So, anyway the lady comes up and brings out the paper already filled out. She tells me where I have to sign and then she asks me what is my hire date. Now if I did not have any home training I would have screamed and jumped up and down and said, "OH MY GOD, I GOT A REAL JOB!!!!!" Well I resisted the urge and said that I did not know that I was hired I was just told to fill this form out. The lady then said, "Oh no you are hired. You were supposed to be given I hire date. Let me call for you to find out when they want you to start." So she makes the calls and leaves a message and lets me know that as soon as she finds out when I start she will call me to let me know.
So people, I have a job. A Monday - Friday 9-5 job. I start on the 15th and I am the most excited person you would ever want to meet at the moment.
Oh yeah, the other job that I was offered I had to write a nice letter and go talk to the lady that hired me to let her know that although I really appreciate the offer I have to decline.
Well, I gotta go! As soon as I have more interesting things to write about I will be back.
