Killer Keebler Elves

I must must must remember never to buy Keebler Fudge Shoppe Deluxe Grahams. These are lethal little rectangles of chocolate covered graham crackers. I bought a package yesterday. I am finishing it as I type. This will not do; this will not do at all!

A wave to XistDense; you have excellent timing as I was just thinking “Hmmmmm … wonder what’s up with XistDense” and now I shall make time today to find out, but it was lovely to see you pop up in a note. Mia Musement also popped in … waving to her as well. I miss some people when I don’t see them for a while.

However, I understand about that life stuff getting in the way of visiting all the diaries one would want; it’s doing that just now for me as well. In fact, today I am working only a halfday so that I can take N to an audition for the NDI Summer Institute. The fact that it is highly unlikely he will be able to attend matters not; all his teachers have told us that his chances of being asked back again next year are practically nil if he doesn’t at least show up for this audition. Of course, I hold out this thin gauzy scarf of hope that just maybe he could attend, but besides his own ambivalence about making a commitment to this dance stuff is strong opposition from the other members of our household. I wind up feeling like I’m in danger of turning into Mama Rose or something, I swear; when all I want is for this kid, who we all know is a natural entertainer, to have this opportunity. As a family friend said last night, he’s been dancing, and loving dancing, since he was 2 or 3 years old. Is it so strange, then, for me to try to get him to stick with a training opportunity that is so wonderful (and so free)? Sigh. Anyway, I am taking him there today; taking it a day at a time as to whether he sticks with it or not. I do wish, though, that his father could be more supportive; and I need to remember that he can’t, and what is meant for N, N will find in this life. After all, he has his own Higher Power looking out for his best interests.

Then last night, my normal diary visiting time was consumed by shopping for food for M’s birthday party. She turns 13 this coming Monday. Be afraid; be very afraid. Oh right; you’ve got nothing to fear. I have!!! Ack!!!

I am missing Folláin something awful as of late. Speaking of late, that’s when I woke up this morning. So I had no chance to post last night’s bedtime wanderings; and the whitter of yesterday is a bit blushy, so I am not going to post it now, but it has to do with … you know … needs. And this morning’s bustime writing is sort of half formed. If it doesn’t turn into something that goes on and on and on, I would like to see if it finishes itself later today, and not post whatever it is until it finishes itself.

Have a good Thursday; remember, tomorrow is Friday! I hope today goes well for you.

Good to see you. And know you will survive the teenagers…eventually. We will all be there for you. And yes, most of the time now I can’t leave notes. But I’m there.

Oh, Monday the 29th? THat’s my daughter’s b-day as well! Hey, happy bday to yours! And more than that…13 years ago you had a big ouch…good job M.E.!! No-one ever gets the mother anything. Ya know! As to the dance,yes, you are in a difficult position. A gift (such as dance) is a wonderful thing but it needs to be honed and trained at times. Your attitude is excellent, regarding the outcome

:::waving hi:::: (thanks for missing me! {{{{{{{{{ME}}}}}}} ) There is a Keebler plant only a few miles from where I live, you can smell all the enticing aromas when you get within about 1/2 mile. Sigh. Nothing wrong with helping N keep that dance door ajar. Takes after you, eh? After all, they say that dance is poetry for the feet. Sorry you are missing Follain.

Things would be better if Today was friday, but hey I am sure it will fly by. I don’t always get to keep up as often as I like. Just not enough time in the day..

Hope he goes with it. Being a mother is very demanding, expect it has plus moments. Missing a certain someone, what can I say… We each have our own way of coping. Warm hugs

Today is going fairly well for me….sounds like yours will (or has been.) busy. Good luck to N., whatever he decides to do. 🙂

Of course you would be missing Follain! I cannot have those Delux Grahams in the house. I’d eat the entire box in one sitting. A 13 year old, huh. I’m so sorry. LOL! Nah! They’re great. Hugs,

I am smiling at your Mama Rose comment….. it’s so hard to be a mom sometimes… but we DO always know everything! Great entry ME! *g* p.s. I am reading backwards and trying to catch up!

Hehehe, I had to come back several times before I could note cause I couldn’t stop laughing about the killer keebler elves ; ) I so wish you didn’t have to miss that gal and hope the time flies to when you are close f2f again. Hopes for N too. Great to go audition anyway, I think. Thanks for your wonderful entries and for sharing about being such a neat Mom. Buncha Huggles : )

Oh those cookies sound dangerous. Yesterday my drug of choice were these oatmeal/walnut/cranberry jobbies…sigh. I think the experience of the audition would be memorable for both of you. 13 is… an accomplishment for all concerned! Congratulations on that. Longing is certainly a direct pipeline to creativity, but it would be nice to be remembering it rather than feeling it.

13?? good luck 🙂

You actually managed to get that package of cookies home from the store? That has never happened to me.

Woman of many hats..

*mrmfph* – excuse me – mouth full of cheese and crackers – no Keeblers here thank goodness!! I miss Mia too – where the heck has she been?? Yeah, that life thing again…

Popped in to say “Hello” after life stuff getting in my way for a few weeks – to find you talking about life stuff getting in the way! It certainly does!! How do those of you with full-time work find time to read, write and (especially) note on OD? I’m full of admiration! How was N’s audition? I hope all went well.

My son turns 14 on April 1….It was ten minutes to midnight so I asked my wife if she could wait until April second ? She told me I was fooling myself ,and my son became my APRIL FOOLS DAY BABY.I used to play jokes on that day…not any more….BT
