Long Time No Post

Two months!  That's how much time has passed since I last posted(well, almost).  A certain Lady Toesocks has been complainin' that I haven't posted in a long time.   Girl doesn't know I'm busy? Jeesh!  Anyway, today was the first day of school here and my oldest child is a seasoned back-to-schooler, so there wasn't a lot of hoopla about it here other than getting our junk together the night before.  In my household it just seems to work better with our getting ready for the day schedules  if the Mr. or I drive the boy to school.  This morning we were all ready to go and I was just finishing getting the little one ready when the school bus stopped at the neighbor's house.  So I said "Garrett, the bus is here!  Better hurry up and get on it!"  In most cases he would know I was joking since I've said that so many times before.   He replied "OK!" and I figure he's joking back.  A few minutes later, we're ready to go so I yelled for Garrett to get a move on.  There's no sign of him downstairs, so I checked upstairs.  Not there either.  I went outside.  Not there.  So I start yelling "GAARRRETTTTT!!!!!"  and I was starting to freak out a little.  My neighbor came outside and said "Are you looking for Garrett? He got on the bus."  "Oh, he wasn't supposed to go on there.  Thank you!"  I replied.   He went on the bus without me knowing!  How did I not see him go right by me?  So my attempt at humor was an epic fail and I managed to make myself look like an idiot in front of my neighbor.  Awesome.  You would think that after 10 years the kid would be used to my brand of sarcasm.   I'd fill y'all in on my summer but there's just not much to write about besides my anxiety trip(issue resolved, thank goodness!).  Also, I have some Oreos to dunk.
