wallets

As I was helping my son pack to move I saw him put his id and bank card into his sleeve pocket and I asked where his wallet was. He looked at me blankly and said he hadn't had/used one in a long time. I just stared. by the time he was 4 he NEEDED a wallet. It was important I was informed and needed to have lots of cards in it. So, we made an ID card and covered it in plastic so that it was official, and whenever we had used gift cards and store "bonus" cards (we'll get into those another time) he kept them. Now he doesn't need one. Hm

For some strange reason as I was doing more of his laundry today to reached into a pants pocket. Out came my clean hand (thank god) and $12. Jackpot! That will cover the dry cleaning bill! Ain't gettin that one back baby. Added bonus, I quite sticking my hands into his pockets about the same time he was entralled with the wonders of a wallet. If it was alive it would surely be dead by the time the wash and dry finished, and if it was just plain gross then the washer could go another round with it. One time was more than enough.

Come to think of it, not only haven't I found his wallet while putting things away, I haven't seen his drivers license either . . .

Moving Day

DD moved into her own apartment today. Made three trips to carry stuff from her one room at home to her 1 bedroom apartment. Got rid of a few extra pieces of furniture. Rain held off and hopefully it will be a good day tomorrow to finish.

Kept the pedom. on and logged 15,508 steps!

Call me any time

I said those words to my DS a few days ago. He's overseas, his schedule is erratic and slammed full of things to do before he moves again.

I didn't really mean to call at 3:30 am. Well, I do want to talk to him whenever I can, but really. And when the phone rang I sat straight up. We all know that the phone ringing in the middle of the night is rarely a good thing. So the first words out of my mouth were are you okay and he said yeah. I then said you know it is 3:30 in the morning here don't you? He said yeah, you told me to call whenever I could. So. Had a nice 10 minute ish chat, then I went back to bed, he went to another class.

I'd better start going to bed earlier I guess

Step Count 8201

okay, so if nothing else, I'll write my count down every day.

I managed a 25 minute walk last evening, with my old kathy smith walking cd (not on my ipod) then cooled down with CSN. Missed getting to the rental office for DD so we're going to be there at 9am when they open. We'll both be late to work . . . well, I've got the phones so it should be fine.

Wednesday

Oops! well, missed my goal already. Oh well, we go on. DD got her apartment and will be moving next weekend. That leaves DS at home and stuff. It is going to be a very busy month, re-doing her room and turning it back into a functional guest room, closing out the storage room whose monthly rate has increased twice in less than a year. Then I've got to find a place for all the stuff that is still in it. Well, guess that means I will have to be ruthless with getting rid of the crap in the house that we don't need/haven't used in awhile. I had wanted to paint the laundry room over memorial day weekend but guess I'll be working on the other room instead. that will probably make me happier and then I can get my knitting room back into shape and kint in peace :)

Long Distance

I received a call from far far away this afternoon. Hope to receive many more. My next job is to research webcams and figure out how to install and use it. Technology is not always my friend.

Happy Mothers Day

From my children.

Happy Mothers day to all the moms in the world. May you have a day you want, enjoy and cherish.

Today begins the first day of DS1's reassignment overseas. My goal for the time he is gone is blog every day. HA! that will be a good one, but if he can serve, I can write.
