I'm linking up with Shannon this week for a little "So What Wednesday" action. So what if.....* I laughed when I found out one of my students threw her shoes down the sewer today? And the giggling continued when I heard that a custodian had to jump down and fish them out? And I struggled to keep a straight face when I wrote a social story for her about being safe at recess? Shoes down the sewer are funny. End of story. * I enjoyed being out by myself last night, even though it was a dental appointment for a toothache and a trip to the grocery store? In my world, that's equal to a spa day, yo.* I asked Twitter for pity and support about the crown I have to get for my cracked tooth? Even though I have had more fillings than I can count due to stupid weak enamel, I still get all wiggy about dental work. * I wasn't going to give out Christmas presents to my coworkers this year but ended up buying extremely cheap reasonable personalizable gifts because it just doesn't feel right to not give out something to my special education team members?* I haven't blogged all week because all I can think about is something traumatic that happened to me on Sunday? Okay, something that happened to G? So what if I'm going to get it over with and say it really fast because I feel such an amount of guilt and worry over it, still? Hefelloutofthegrocerycartontohishead. And so what if other moms' stories of similar incidents make me feel less guilty and worried? SO. WHAT?What are you saying "so what" to this week? I wanna know. Really.Namaste.
It's So What Wednesday at Life After I Dew and I decided to link up with her today. I'm totally in the mood to say So What.
So What if....
* I dropped my boys off at day care this morning so I could go to yoga class and run errands without them? I know it's my last day of summer vacation, but taking G out of his routine would be starting all over tomorrow, and he has now decided that school is NOT cool. Sigh. Also, I got twice as much done without the boys. Not gonna lie.
* I was mentally making my grocery list during yoga class? My teacher said it best...the cool thing about yoga is that you always have something that you are working on. For me, it's my focus. Perhaps it always will be.
* I just realized today that Hershey's Syrup is gluten- and casein-free. So I didn't need to be using the not-so-delicious off-brand that I'd blogged about.
* I have completely given up on finding dairy-free cheese. It's all nasty. I bought rice cheese slices today and almost vomited on my kitchen floor when I took a bite out of it.
* I'm still watching Big Brother even though no matter how hard I try I can't figure out why people love it. I feel like now I have to finish it even if Rachel's voice makes my ears bleed.
* I am still watching Bachelor Pad and I adore that show. As I tweeted last night, it's deliciously ridiculous. It's brainless, drama-filled television at its finest.
* I am worried about how my bloggy friendships are going to suffer now that I'm going back to work. I don't know when I'm going to have time to blog. And the effect that it will have on my mental state scares me, quite frankly.
I could go on and on, but I'll spare you. What are you saying "So What" to this week?
So what if I failed to mention on this post that not only was L's shirt three sizes too small, it also didn't match his pants, and neither did his hoodie? I've already told his teachers that we encourage his independence in getting himself dressed in the morning, so I can blame it on him. Er, I mean, um...moving on.
So what if I didn't take a shower all day Monday...and went to L's Christmas party, did a little Christmas shopping, and took G to the doctor? I used body spray and no one got that close.
So what if I have seven games of Lexulous going on Facebook? I'm not addicted...I can quit anytime I want.
So what if I make L put my shoes away in my closet every night after I kick them off in the living room upon returning home from work? He likes it, I swear.
So what if I like to pretend that the last-day-of-school parties, sing-alongs, and all-around fun are all celebrations of my birthday today? I've gotten enough birthday gifts that are wrapped in holiday paper that I deserve to at least imagine that people don't forget about my birthday?
To what are you saying 'So What' this week?
Perhaps you've noticed that lately I've been a bit of a bloggy slacker. Between my last two posts and the blogger's block that may or may not have been correlated with that drama, Namaste posts have been scarce around these parts.
But when I saw Mama Dew's "So What Wednesday" post, I thought it was the perfect way to easily jump back into the blogosphere.
Without further ado.....
So what if....
* I brought my receipt and clothes back to New York and Co tonight for a price adjustment due to their "50% off Everything Sale"...and ended up buying more clothing and spending another $12? I got great deals, and I needed those khakis. Desperately.
* I have been slacking not only on posting updated pictures of L and G, but on taking them because I need to charge the batteries in the camera? I have gotten the camera out several times but haven't charged the battery pack. I'm a busy mama, okay?
* I was actually a few minutes early to work one day this week and everyone commented on how surprising that was? I like to make an entrance. Or be fashionably late. Take your pick.
* My toes are in such desperate need of a pedicure that even L asked what was wrong with my toes? It's winter, okay?
* I am bringing the same dip to my aunt's house tomorrow that I bring to every holiday? My brother and my husband LOVE crab dip. So there.
* I swore I'd never put my kids in matching outfits, but I bought gray striped button down shirts for both my boys at Children's Place for Thanksgiving? They are going to be ridiculously cute, even if they'll hate me one day for it.
* I am still drinking soda even after I have announced everywhere from my workplace to Facebook that I am on the no-soda wagon? I can quit whenever I want to, all right?
* I took a picture of the man in my kickboxing class who was wearing spandex pants, tube socks, and a sweatband this week? At least I didn't post it on my blog!* I want to know what YOU are saying "So What" to this week?
Namaste!
