Lunch anyone?

Yesterday I was on my way to school to go to music class with Paige when I called Kurtis and asked him if he would like to do lunch. He told me he was too busy but thanks anyway.

No biggie.

After music class I asked Paige if she would like me to take her to lunch and then bring her back to school. She said she would like to do it another day because they were celebrating two class mates' birthdays during lunch and she didn't want to miss the treats.

No biggie.

On my way out of school I stopped by Grant's room and noticed they were just cleaning up from lunch.

No biggie.

I didn't feel I could take the rejection of one more person so I didn't make the hike out to the middle school to see if Abi wanted to do lunch and just went on with my day.

No biggie.

On the way home I called Kurtis and told him about how Paige blew me off for lunch. He laughed and we joked together about how our kids don't want to do that kind of stuff with us much anymore.

Last night, I was making lunches and here is how it all became a biggie!!:

Kurtis: I don't need a lunch tomorrow.
Jacki: Oh, OK, do you have a meeting.
Kurtis: No, Jay and I went to get PIZZA today!!!!
Jacki: OH!!!!!!!! I thought you were to busy to have lunch today?????
Kurtis: Well, I was but Jay kept bugging me and I just had an ol' salami sandwich so I decided I could take a few minutes to have a little pizza with Jay!!!
Jacki: Man!!! I was blown off for lunch twice today.
Kurtis: Yeah, I didn't want to remind you of that.

Isn't he thoughtful not to rub it in?????BIGGIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All Grown Up and No Place to Go...maybe!

I've shared with a number of you how Abi was invited to her first boy/girl middle school birthday party. It is scheduled for tomorrow night.

She got the invite on Tuesday and all week we have been trying to make a decision on whether or not she could go. It is not that I didn't trust her but I don't know these people who want to be entrusted to my daughter's social development and have the potential to scar her for life. No pressure!!

After seeking the council of many of my wiser and more distant from the immediate concequences of this decsion, we decided to let her go.

Secretly, we are both praying that something will happen and she can't go.

Last night, it happened!!! She has a FEVER!!!!

She immediately asks me if she will still be able to go to the party and I said that we would have to see how she was feeling tonight and in the morning but if she had a fever tonight at 6:00 she wouldn't be able to go because she will have had a fever with in the last 24 hours. She understood but was understandibly dissapointed.

Is it wrong that I am enjoying my daughter's sickness in such a way and that I am secretly hoping that at 6:00 tonight she still has a fever???

Oh, I miss the days when she just kept me up all night crying!!!!! At least that won't scar her for life!!
