Shirley's End of the Month Mundane Report

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share
1

Rather than put everyone to sleep with daily reports of humdrum of my existance, For your dining and dancing pleasure, I have summarize each account. There will be a pop quiz on this. :wink:

Early March - Hubby finished and painted our former walk-in master bedroom closet that is now our Home Office. It is my favorite room in the house. * Summary* - Shirley’s in the closet.

MidMarch - Started swimming at least 2 times a week. Good news is that I am too skinny for the gawdawful maternity swimsuit I have and too fat for my regular lap suit.* Summary:* Doesn’t matter much, I live in Michigan. Everyone is fat.

Late March: Received our new-to-us Ford Econoline 1992 van today. 168,000 miles on it. ( Coldfire would not approve of it’s handling and torque, but I can crush minivans on the road, that is all that matters.) But I’m really happy. I won’t be able to drive it until we get the liscense plate stuff taken care of.

Hubby cut sons curly locks off last night. Kid went from boing boing curls to looking like Kevin Costner’s hair in the BodyGuard. Looks good, but someone didn’t clean up the hair very well and it looks like someone had heavy doses of radiation in our bathroom.
SummaryMy son looks better with the short chemo hair crew cut than Costner.

Our son is whipping out his ABC’s and counting 1-10 at a rate that we are certain he is an Einstein. SummaryUntil we can find a way to exploit this child and rake in the bucks, we’ll have to live modestly.
That is all for our Shirley Report, thanks for tuning in and good night.

Summary ( Irish Accent) There’s nothin’ to see here folk, move along.

I’m living so beyond my income that we may almost said to be living apart

Those Ford Econoline vans are great, aren’t they, Shirl? We got a new (to us, like yours) van at Christmas. Except for having to peddle my butt on the street for gas money (it’s a hog), it’s awesome. Eats SUV’s for lunch.

My daughter is doing quite well at the ABC’s, too. Got those, her numbers, colors, shapes, & animals down most excellently. She even knows left & right, which is pretty good for a three-year-old. She can get herself dressed, including her shoes–on the correct feet. She has some trouble with buttons, but she’ll get that eventually.

Now if only I could get her out of the Pull-Ups & in to big-kid underwear full-time like Opal’s Nicky…

This space blank, until Wally thinks up something cool to put here.

I’m not to the potty training phase yet, but how about putting her in big girl underpants instead of pull ups. Pull ups, I would think, keep the little buggers tooo dry and they are not aware as much as the cotton fat underpant thingies.

Hell, we are just working on getting our son to stop standing up in the bathtub and whizzing. ( At least girls are secretive in this department.)

As for Econoline, what say you and I meet on I-75 and box in and smush a few mini vans. heh. Of course, that’s after I exploit my children for monetary gain so I can fill up the gas tank.
