Well my DH is feeling better...how can I tell? He is back to being a sarcastic wise-***.
DD lost a tooth yesterday. The tooth fairy had heard that she no longer wanted 8 quarters. She wanted a dollar bill. So, the tooth fairy came and gave her "a dollar with George Washington on it!!! But she should have left 2 dollars because 8 quarters equals 2 dollars. But that is okay because the dollar has George Washington on it!!!" (So do the quarters, but who knew?!) I didn't know that she knew how much 8 quarters is, so next time the tooth fairy better leave 2 dollar bills. She has been flitting around the house waving her dollar all morning. She has called Auntie and Grandma and is waiting for her best friend to wake up.
Even though DH is better, he didn't want to go to church, and since I don't have to teach Sunday School this week, and I have a very limited dressy wardrobe at the moment (I refuse to buy anything else till I lose weight), and I have lots to do around the house, we played hookie. (How's that for a run-on sentence?)
DD (in her opinion) mastered the cartwheel yesterday, only I missed it. She was very upset. Well, the reason I missed it, and I am, by the way, very angry that I did, is because of a parent who refuses to follow the rules. Our YMCA has a small viewing room with a glass window. Because of the small viewing space, parents are not allowed to bring their child to gymnastics until the start of class. In other words, they don't want us coming early and disturbing/taking over the viewing room where parents are already sitting and trying to watch their children. Well, there is this mother (in her 50's who adopted a girl from China, & has spoiled this child to the point of her being totally obnoxious) who always comes at least 20 minutes early. She comes in and parks herself while her daughter wreaks havoc in her ever so dramatic way, making lots of noise, hitting other children, and then pouting and crying. The mother ignores her till she gets really loud only to tell the child to "work it out." The rest of us (who happen to be a peaceful group) are disturbed as we try to watch our child, chat quietly, or read. Yesterday, this little brat was fighting with another child causing people to stand up to break it up (because God forbid mom do anything) and left me with no view to see my child complete her first successful cartwheel which she has been working on for months. Do you remember how her not being able to do a cartwheel was making my DD want to quit gymnastics altogether? And how I had to talk her into not giving up? AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! Sometimes I really hate how inconsiderate and rude people can be. How dare she come in 20 minutes early, disturb the room, and have no consequences. I'm not gonna complain because I will be labelled as a complainer. If DD decides to continue for the longterm, I want to be friendly with everyone. Well this morning, DD showed me the cartwheel, and except for one bent leg, it was quite perfect and wonderful. All that matters is that she has her confidence back. Hurray!!!
I made yummy bran muffins for breakfast with the recipe on the box of All Bran cereal. I substituted the oil with apple sauce, and the white flour with whole wheat. So, they are healthy and are actually really delicious. How often can I say that sentence?! Not often.
Well, I should go and get busy with my long list of chores.
Happy Sunday
Summer
