How is one supposed to keep a straight face though that kind of exchange?
love it!

I'm back from clothes shopping. One store, one coupon, $100 for 6 pairs of pants, 2 shirts, and 1 hoodie. Despite discussing expected behavior beforehand, the kids still ran around in the store. I managed to keep DS8's attention long enough to determine what size pants he needed. Then they played on the lego table the rest of the time. Without taking a lego table with me to every store, I'm not actually sure what I could do to make them behave in a store. I can't beat them in public. Someone would call CPS. Oh well. They weren't really acting any different than the other boys there.

I hope to goodness you were yelling into your cellphone and demonstrating how to safely light a fire with tighty whities while you were there.

Hey guys! Home from work early today...kinda slow....which is ok from time to time but sure hope things pick up...

DS and a few friends went camping today. Just a quick one nighter before school starts. Hope they have fun (but not too much fun LOL).

I have done something to my left arm. It feels like tennis elbow but since I'm right handed I have no idea what I could have done to aggravate it. It's really getting annoying though.

Ooh. Sarry to hear that MM. What have you been doing that you don't usually do?

(It's either that or "Welcome to old age" but, somehow, I don't think you want to hear that, lol)

I'm sure it was all the extra waving I've been doing recently. That surely explains it!

Have you been secretly doing pageants? Maybe it's a pageant or parade wave elbow.
