Watching out for John

Thursday night Sean and I went to Flap Jacks for dinner-I over heard the following conversation between the old guy in the booth behind me and another couple:

Couple: Hi John, how are you?
John: I'm doing well how are you?

Some additional conversation then:
John: How do I know you again?

Some additional conversation, John seems to know who they are now and they talk about friends they have in common, some alive, some not.

Couple: We haven't seen you in here recently.
John: I come in about once a week.
Couple: You used to come every night.
John: Maybe I still do.

Poor John-I hope someones keeping track of him.

Star Trek

I went to see this movie last night (I know I'm a little behind the pack. I hate the crowds when movies first come out) I thought it was great! One of the things the original series had was good humor between the main characters, the movie had that as well. I was pretty impressed at how they picked actors the resembled the original characters too. I think I'll have to buy this one.

Sean's Band Concert

Sean has been learning to play the clarinet this year and had his band concert today. Still being technically challenged I missed the first part of the video trying to figure out how the stupid camera worked!

Remember I love you

A few years ago I got these decals that you can put on mirrors, windows etc. (wish I could remember where I found them!) Anyway, I have one in the upstairs bathroom that says "Did you think to pray?". In the downstairs bathroom I have "I am a child of God". I also got one that says "Remember I love you-mom". I put that one on the window by the computer. My hope was that as the boys are playing on the computer they would see it and remember I love them. To be honest I hadn't really thought about it for some time, and I can't remember the boys ever saying they even noticed it was there... until Sunday. Sean made a Mother's Day card in primary, the same one all the other kids made, but when he signed it he put "Remember I love you-Sean".

Joys? of a single parent

We all know being a parent can be full of frustrations and luckily full of joys and experiences that out way those frustrations. When you're a single parent you get to shoulder more of those things by yourself; you often get to answer questions that you might be tempted to say "go ask your father." Most of these question seem to come while we are driving, I like that because I don't have to look them in the eye as I answer the question. The last few weeks however have not been so kind. A couple weeks ago it was "Mom, what is an erection?", last week it was "What is genital herpes?" Darn TV.

Fridays

Ok,so I know I'm writing this on Saturday, but I LOVE FRIDAYS! I wake up Friday morning and think "last day of the work week!" Woo Hoo! Rob takes the boys most Friday nights-I can go out with a friend, see a movie, or I can buy something yummy that I want to eat, and not share! I can watch any silly thing on TV without hearing "you're going to watch that!?!?"
