Just Sitting Around

Kinda new at this thing.  I'm just sitting around right now doing my fav thing...nothing.  My 12 year old is at her dad's until end of Aug (hate it!), my 5 year old is in his room playing, and my 21 year old stepdaughter is out at a friend's house doing "school".  Husband is at work.  So I'm doing nothing and liking it.  Gotta work tomorrow so may as well chill for now.

Filled out Caleb's (5yr old) kindergarten registration.  I had to pick a hospital and doc but didn't know what to put down as we have only been living here 6months.  I could put the hospital where I work, but they don't have pediatrics, so what is the point really.  I could put his dad down for doc, but why?  Parents are notified of emergencies anyway.  Is this really as big of a deal as I make it?  No, of course not.  Just put something down and send it in...okay I did.  R U happy now?  David (husband) thinks I am crazy for even giving it one minute of consideration "more than it deserves", but I am the worry wort in the family.  Always gotta be prepared for the emergency.  He just kinda goes with it.  Knows he can handle any situation (he's an ER doc).  I'm pretty sure I can too, except it's your kids, you know. 

Hannah (12yr old) thinks I am way over-protective.  But hey, my kids are alive I say.  Course she is getting into the teen scene of sighing and rolling her eyes and just about getting popped on the head for doing so stage.  Her dad (my ex) is just a little to loose when it comes to security issues, but waaaay too strict when it comes to everyday life.  Poor kid, she can hardly breathe at either house sometimes.  Doesn't help we now live 1200 miles from each other instead of 1.  Something she doesn't let me forget but you gotta break those ties eventually, and I NEVER planned on living that close forever.  U just gotta adjust and move on.

Well, Stephanie (21yr old) just called and is asking questions for her extra-credit report due tomorrow.  Man am I glad I am through with school.  Well, I guess you are never through because things keep changing and you have "continuing eduction".  But the papers I used to have to write...yuk!  She is going to phlebotomy school then onto respiratory therapy.  That reminds me of one of my fav jokes: 

    How did God determine who were going to be respiratory therapists and who were going to be nurses?  He spit a loogey and all the nurses ducked! LOL! 

Well, better split.  Caleb is saying "what is taking Stephanie so long" and it is getting late.  Gotta get him to bed and me too since I gotta work 2morrow.
