Real winners do the math

Well obviously I suck. So much for nagoblowmemonth. Last night Mr. M and I had it out. No details, ha! However, as I was taking the kids to the bus stop this morning, the Princess says to me: "Are you still going to be with Mr. M?" UGH. I replied in the affirmative, and then she asked a specific question about our fight last night. Unfortunately her bedroom door is very close to the living room due to the open floor plan upstairs, so she can hear everything. Mr. M and I have agreed to "argue" in the garage from now on, no matter how cold it is, YIPPEE!

This evening the kids asked to go over to the neighbors house, and since I knew her parents weren't home yet, I said no. So they decided to play outside. When the Prince came back in he told us about the "boys" they had invited over. Ah crap, it's starting already. It's quite amusing listening to my neighbors daughter who is 10, talk about the boys she thinks are cute, and all the ones that have asked her out this year, as we are driving to school, but it's not so amusing, when I know they are playing with my own daughter. So we had a no kissing talk during dinner. Luckily the Princess is still loyal to her boyfriend of 4 years now, yes, since kindergarten, and there is no kissing going on there.

Also, the Princess made me feel great on Monday. When she came home she grabbed the extra button and the button that had already fallen off her new jacket. I had been meaning to ask our neighbor for red thread since she sews and I only have white, but hadn't gotten it yet. The Princess informs me that Ms. Soandso at school will fix her jacket for her if she brings in the buttons. Wow. And she did! I am a real winner.....
