Life According to Me

Breaker for life. We attended a wedding last evening in the quaint little town of Sanger. It was nice to meet some of Mark's family that, in 15 years, I hadn't yet been acquainted with. While the wedding was lovely, my personal stand out moment was my two sons rockin' the dance floor like no one was watching! Kid Two even broke out his brake dance moves. We had no idea?! After 45 mins. of shakin' our groove thangs, we said our goodbyes and loaded into the car. Here's what Kid Two had to say: K2: I really like to dance! Us: We could tell. K2: Did you know I could dance like that? Us: We had no Idea. (pause) K2: I wasted all my moves tonight. I gotta get some new ones. (car full of laughter)

15 years ago, to the month, Mark and I had our first date. He asked me to a UB 40 concert. Not only was I "not available", I wasn't sure I liked his overflow of confidence. That does not mean I didn't think he was totally hot! I said yes, and there began our life together. Last evening, we revisited that night, so many years ago, by going to see them again at the Gallo Center. An appearance by Maxi Priest was an unexpected surprise! That music brings me right back. The venue is very intimate, so our "5 from the stage" seats were fantastic! Thank you, Neighbor Michelle, for the heads up on them coming our way! Cherry Oh Baby!

Sooooo .....Kid One had an ortho appointment today. It was supposed to be a routine check-up. Much to our surprise, his Dr. said today was the day to be metal free. what?! What's the first thing he wanted? A caramel apple, of course. I'm afraid he looks even more like me. Not so great when your a boy.

Aye. Am I alone, floating in the boat, in the land of homework hell? Just wondering. Wanted to see if I needed to make friends with a volleyball or not.

One week in the can...wasn't as hard as I had predicted! We all adjusted well to the new schedule. Thank God...I was prepared to "Little House On The Prairie" it if not! Ha! kidding . Noah loves Kindergarten....a lot! Ky has had "the best year ever" so far. That changes daily if not hourly. At 13, I suppose, that is your prerogative. Making your parents feel like they fell down the rabbit hole.....? I don't remember getting that memo until I was 16/17. Anyhooooo....week two? The Salcido's are ready to rumble!

It's no secret that we are sleep connoisseurs. As I said in an earlier post, we take no time at all to begin the sleeping marathon. It started quite typical with the 9am stretch and yawn. That quickly became 10am. Here we are two days from the start of reality and we didn't shuffle sleepily(adverb! *wink*) to the coffee pot until 11am! *sigh* Who, but we, does this?! 6am Monday will feel like some kind of inhumane twisted torture for us all. Rude awakening, for sure.

This little five year old person I live with has the world all figured out. Here are some facts, according to him: 1. Sponge Bob Square Pants is real. How does he know this? Because he is on TV. 2. When you don't have any "dollars", just go to that "machine" and it will give you some. 3. The guy in the camera department at Target will also give you "dollars". 4. His baseball trophy is gold. Real gold . 5. Hamburger comes from a ham. (FYI...a ham is not a pig. That is an entirely different animal.) 6. Candy makes you big and strong. *will update as new facts come to light
