We had a fun day today! Grif and I got to sleep in and I took him to school late. I had an appointment and then caught a movie with my friend Monica (thanks Mon for the treat!). We saw "Killers" which was actually pretty good. Then I picked Grif up from school early today and we went to play putt-putt golf - his first time! He did pretty good actually. We didn't keep score but rather just had fun and took as many shots as needed (and that was LOTS!). We finished in style with an ice cream cone - a perfect ending to a fun day!

Band-aids
So, Grif has this thing about band-aids. He's gotta have them- on cuts, scrapes, rubs, scabs, anything that even remotely looks like it might be a boo-boo. So, I've fed his 'need' just to keep him happy. At first I tried to fight it but then I figured it was part of the small stuff I'm not supposed to sweat. Really, who cares if he has a band-aid or two on. Really...in the whole scheme of things it's really not a big deal.
Now we're nearly 3 years down the road and now that he understands more, we have a new rule. The rule is "No blood, no band-aid". A basic scrape just doesn't cut it anymore and he's pretty much OK with it.
Here's the funny part. My husband cut his finger with a very sharp knife this weekend. While we were in the pool his band-aid came off and he needed another to keep the cut clean even if it was no longer bleeding. He asked Grif to get him a band-aid. Grif walked over to him, looked at his cut which was clearly not bleeding, and stated quite matter-of-factly, "OK, but this is the last one". (this is exactly what I tell him when he wants another band-aid on his 5 day old scrape that's nearly totally healed) OK, it was hilarious, maybe you had to be there.

Happy Anniversary Mom & Dad!
Yesterday we celebrated our parents 50th Wedding Anniversary. We went out to dinner without a whole lot of fanfare at the insistence of the guests of honor. Actually, we were threatened to NOT have a surprise party for them. Well, truth be told we we planning a surprise but didn't want to really piss them off so we scrapped the idea.
I am so happy for my parents, 50 years is such a long time. Lots of compromise I'm sure. I can only pray that Cleatus and I make it to 50 years, especially since we got married a little later than normal. Anyway, it's an event to celebrate and very special.

Turning over a new leaf
I am embarrassed that it's been so long since I've posted. I have decided that I'm turning over a new leaf and will try to post here at least once a week. Don't hold me to it but know that I'll do my best! I'm a busy mom...yes, I know I only have one child but, sheesh, I'm old! LOL!!
OK, now go back to what you were doing...talk to ya later!
