Weren't those cute pics? H. really took to her costume, calling it "Uniny" (her bike is called "bikey"and every stuffed animal in the house has a name as well as a personality) and N. walked around going, "Buzzzzz! Buzzzzz!" N.M liked just shooting things and playing dead, he is pretty good at now since he has been playing "Halo 2".

Oh, funny story! Have you ever seen those emails that ask you to look at a pic real close, I mean REAL close? And than as you're starring at this picture trying to find something, a freaking looking face just seems to jump off the screen at you as a scream emits from your computer! You know the one I am talking about? (http://members.home.nl/saen/Special/Zoeken.swf) Well, M. got one of these from a friend, and since he only slightly jumped, he thought N.M might like it too. Umm, not so much! When I get home from class last night, I start to tell M. about how our neighbor scared our kids with the freaky mask in the window trick, when he quietly says, "Shhh, but I really scared Noah tonight too. He started screaming and crying, but don't say anything because he is really sensitive about it." After he tells me about the email and N.M, I just start laughing. Can you imagine?! :)
Well, after M leaves to go watch a friend play pool, N.M comes to me and confesses how he got scared and how it made him feel (I didn't laugh, I just smirked behind my hand) that daddy did that to him, so I said that I was really sorry, to which he replies, "Mom, you shouldn't be sorry. Dad should be sorry. He was not very nice." He said it so mater-of-fact that I started to laugh. He looked at me like, "Now you're not nice to laugh" so I gave him a big hug and told it was going to be okay.

When M came home later he asked me about N.M and when he heard what N.M said, he looked so sad. I do not think he'll do things like that again. (lol!)

So last night as I was sitting in my Astronomy class (which is absolutely fascinating!), my mind started to wander in to the direction of school. It's been going there alot lately. Questions like, what school should I apply for other than OSU? Will my money for BSC be enough for OSU, and how will I get more? Why am I so passionate about this? Etc, etc, etc. Anyway, I concluded that I will go another semester at BSC. I will take three online classes; Social Problems (Sociology), Intro to Professional Writing (English), and Environmental Science (Biology). Since I can not register for these classes until the 11th, I may not get my choices, but at least I have an idea. I am debating about furthering my Spanish (which I want to be proficient in), but it is a day class and so it would depend on what type of job I end up getting. I've decided to quit the restaurant after this term, I need a job that is more structured time wise and schedule wise. I do not like getting home at 10-12 at night and then trying to do homework, but at the same time, I love the flexibility of G.Mill. If I worked at a day job I would need to be making a certain amount of income to justify childcare, etc. and be willing to forsake travel trips to Oregon. I mean, I could still make them but instead of driving we'd have to fly to make the most of the week! that I'd get time off for, and that is expensive! And yet, if I worked a structured day job, there is more stability and that would eleviate some stress. Truth is, I do not want to forgo my ability to visit Oregon, it is vital to my emotional, mental, and physical health. It is vital to my spirit. However, there are things that I can not ignore. Maybe I'll be lucky and find a job that satisfies both needs. That'll be a mircale; do you believe in prayer?? :)

I better get my ass in gear and go do some house cleaning! I can not tell you how scary the bathroom is, but if you have men in the house and little children who are learning the art of going potty by themself, than you might understand. Gross!!!! Put on the gloves!

TTFN!
