King Of The House

Calvin has entered a stage of disobedience. The other day, Celine went to play soccer and left me with the two boys for an hour. No big deal, right? Well, she left and Calvin decided to pull a Hilts on me. I was making cookies and went out to the living room and he was gone. I eventually found him playing with his friends outside.

Then, I put him in his room for a few minutes and started to give Harrison a bath in the sink. Things are going good, and I let Calvin out of his room and he sits on the counter in the bathroom and helps me give Harrison a bath. Then, he picks up Celine's perfume. I told him to put it down and not to touch it. I then turn my attention back to Harrison when I hear a thud and Calvin starts screaming bloody murder. I think he just hit his head, but I shortly realize that he sprayed himself in the eye with the perfume, to which I respond, "I told you not to touch that" He then got to be sprayed in the face with water because I was trying to rinse it out, but I am not sure spraying immense amounts of water in my son's face after having alcohol sprayed in it was the best thing to do.

But I will say - I still go dinner served, the dishes done, bath completed, and most importantly, cookies made, all within an hour. King of the house!

It's a...

You know it is just bad timing when your body decides to sneeze and burp at the same instant. It is worse when you feel both coming on and can't stop it. I was thinking this bizarre phenomenon (that was a hard word to spell) needs a name. Any ideas?

Down With The Laziness

I have been reprimanded for my lack of posting of late. Sorry I have been lazy the past few months. I feel uninspired to write or I put of writing the few brilliant ideas I do have. I believe this to be for two reasons

1. I hurt my shoulder which has made it very difficult to workout which you think would result in more free time and an increase in blogging but it has actually made me lazier, unmotivated, and apathetic to life.

2. My brother let me borrow a bunch of his DVDs when I went home last summer. I brought back a bunch of TV shows and after watching all the good ones I had to resort to watching the Gilmore Girls which he made me bring. I never intended to watch it but with so much free time and nothing else to do I reluctantly started to watch. The show has a lot of flaws but I got into it and actually enjoyed watching it quite a bit.

Number 16?

I just read an article on Entetainment Weeklys website that listed the top 20 heros of all time. Can you believe they put Jack Bauer at number 16? Who do they think they are? This is an outrage. Captain Kirk, Buffy, Harry Potter, and James Bond are some of the losers that beat out Jack. Here are some acceptable winners that beat out Jack are Jonh McClane, Dirty Harry, Mad Max, Indiana Jones, and Han Solo

I showed my students The Princess Bride last week and they loved it. I was trying to think of another movie to show them at the end of the year but so far allI have come up with is Willow. Any idea?
