He will probably be told he has his hands full ;-)
J and O are at Friday school until 3:00. It's only the 2 of us for 5 whole hours.
Going to spend the day working around the house to impress the social worker. The goal is to get it just right clean. Not too clean so it's obvious we couldn't possibly spend any time with our children because we're so busy scrubbing our days away, but not too dirty making it appear that we're so busy, oh you know, being filthy. Ah, the joy of striving for a delicate balance in the midst of my lunacy, while trying way too hard and over thinking everything. Since it is Friday and our meeting is on Tuesday, I'm going to have to lock the kids away somewhere for the weekend to keep the house tidy. Shhhh. It will be our little secret.
Why aren't tiny ringing alert bells that respond to clapping automatically installed in remote controls? Why why why????? The hours of my life wasted in looking here there and everywhere for that buggar, flabbergasted at its stunning ability to hide from me. Currently the tv is out of commission because I CAN'T LOCATE THE REMOTE and I'm not smart enough to figure out how to get it to work without it. I think ours has little legs, coupled with a mean and rude sense of humor that takes pleasure in watching me go crazy with a capital C as I search and search. Not usually the paranoid type, but I have a sneaking suspicion that thing is out to get me. 
Do you like my AHOPE shirt? We have a cool little friend from there now. He is 12 years old and his name is Dawitt. As is all too common, his story is a very sad one. We love our AHOPE buddy and pray for him to have A Hope that brings him comfort and peace.
Skating birthday party tomorrow for a friend of Jayla. I'm going along for some girl bonding. Will make sure to wear our 80's headbands so we fit in. I think that was the decade I last put on roller skates. Those headbands are making a comeback, no? I saw one of my youthful friends on facebook wearing one. Not exactly up on current fashion trends, but I do know that I'm ready to sing I love rock n roll so put another dime in the jukebox baby while we're there because we built this city on rock and roll and I just can't fight this feeling anymore. When I imagine skating around in circles with those colorful strobe lights shining on the floor, I hear those same old songs playing in my mind. We'll see what kind of music they play in 2009. Gosh I'm old. Hoping Jayla will share a couple's skate with her mommy because I still love holding her hand.Have a great weekend!!

Great post Tisha... made me laugh. And, I'm also jealous. Perhaps I'll hold my next birthday party at Skate City. Have fun couple-skating with your little girl to Night Ranger's "Sister Christian". I can already hear you singing to her...
"Babe you know
You're growing up so fast
And Mama's worrying
That you won't last
To say let's play"
As always, Tisha, I love your posts. Thanks for sharing -- and for being such a great writer that reading your blog is a pleasure to all who take time to do it.
This little gal's eyes are GORGEOUS!
Have fun skating!!
Tisha,
Your post just made me chuckle. My niece had her recent bday party at the skating rink. Not only did I feel old, but very uncoordinated. I'm sure you will impress J with your skating abilities. Sing a song for the rest of us who loved the 80's. Have fun!
I liked your 80's montage! The head bands have been popping up in my gr. 6 class too, along with skinny jeans and fingerless gloves.
My Matia girl wants to play with your Clover girl. She saw her picture and said " I want pway wiff her!" How nice would that be.
Hope you have a great weekend.
Thank you to Sandy for putting Sister Christian in my head for 3 hours yesterday.
I'm thinking of you today (Tuesday) as it's your big day! Sending good vibes and hoping all goes well. I'm sure you'll knock her socks off!
