Sick and School Stuff

Jake has been sick and grumpy and when he is sick and grumpy he only likes his mother. Vangie promised to take him to Chucky Cheese but was feeling sick on Saturday, So I took him. The other children have never liked me at Chucky Cheese ever since the tube incident. I think Jake may have been 3 and I had to go up into the tubes in the ceiling and get him down. The other kids yelled at me things like "get out of here" and "you're too big" and one yelled "hey, I didn't invite you to my party." It smells really bad up there too. Fortunately Jake is no longer interested in the tubes he only wants to play skee ball and acquire as many tickets as possible to exchange for some small plastic piece of crap which he will promptly loose in a seat cushion not five minutes after he gets home.

Jake did well and I talked him out of Pizza at the Chucky Cheese place and took him to a better pizza place closer to home. He managed to win enough tickets to get a wrist band. When I say he won a wrist band I mean one sweat band. Who gives away one wrist sweat band? I inquired as to what my child was supposed to do with the other sweaty wrist but they didn't seem to care. Later it was girls night out and I was supposed to cook dinner but somehow we ended up at Wendy eating burgers, chicken nuggets and frostys.

So Max was assigned to do a report on Uranus for school. He is doing the written report at school and has decided he wants to build a model of Uranus and it's moons for the project which is to accompany the report. Anyway, I have found myself saying the strangest things around the house. For example:

Vangie can you help Max with Uranus?
Hey Max why don't you put another coat of paint on Uranus.
Uranus is never going to dry unless you stop touching it!
Jake, Put Uranus down right now!!
What did your teacher say about Uranus?
Why did you pick Uranus?
If you want to attach moons we're going to have to stick these in Uranus.
Hey, I can't seem to find Uranus?
Do you think that this one is big enough to be Uranus?

Hey, when it's done I promise I'll take a picture of Uranus and post it online for all to see......
