Inside our Walls

March 14, 2008

If you were a fly on a wall in our house, here are some things you might have heard this week:

*  *  *

snow-day.gifMatty brought a letter home from school that said that the elementary kids had to make up their snow days.

Beth:  Well, well, well.  Looks like you guys will have to stay a few minutes later until school gets out.

Matt:  What the hell!? hee hee

*   *  *

One show that Kevin and I really enjoy is Gene Simmons Family Jewels on A&E.  We were watching the marathon when we hear this sweet little voice.

Rachel:  Mom, what’s a Playboy Mansion? surprise

*  *  * 

Matty’s class had a little presentation at the school board meeting tonight.  Kevin was on the phone with Lauren, telling her what was going on.  Our wonderful, blonde daughter is so naive.

Kevin: I’m leaving here in a minute to take Matt up the street for some meeting he has to be at tonight.

Lauren:  Why?

Kevin:  I’m not sure exactly.  The teacher just wanted him there at 5:45.

Lauren:  He’s not going so people can make fun of him, is he? d'oh

*  *  *

Matty has been having some issues with urinating this week. I was discussing it with Kevin.  Austin felt compelled to weigh in his thoughts.

Austin:  Can’t they just cut his penis off?

Beth:  Ow! He uses that thing.

Austin:  Well, it’s not like he can have kids or anything.

Beth:  He might.  Mentally handicapped people get married and stuff too.

Austin:  That’s just awkward. not listening

*  *   * 

Speaking of Matty and his pee problems. Here is an email between me and his aide today.

Beth:  When I first saw this email I thought maybe you were having issues with Matty peeing himself.  We had him on the toilet for 45 minutes and he wouldn’t go pee.  He did the same thing twice last night.  Kevin finally got him off the potty so he could shower Matt and said that his jammy shirt was wet but not wet enough for all the pee that he should be carrying.  So hopefully you guys have no accidents today and he cooperates for you guys

Aide:  we will get along fine that is what I am understanding best today.

Beth:  Thankspotty-training.jpg

Aide:  Matt did finally go, the janitor had to come mop the bathroom afterwards, but he went YEAH!!!!!!!

Beth: are you serious?!?! That is hilarious.  When he was a baby the urologist said he had a bladder the size of a grown mans…guess they weren’t kidding.  Thanks for letting me know that he finally peed :)

Aide:  Yea, it was pretty funny. The amazing thing was he didn’t ever have to change his clothes, I kept checking them out because just from the looks of the restroom I was sure I needed to, but no.

Have a great Friday everyone :)

    Linked to you from Stacey’s blog. I love your open mind and free sharing. Bless you and your life –you are a strong woman. I’ve read almost every entry tonight. I know, total stranger, but my thoughts are with you for a good and quick recovery from your surgery. My mother just had an emergency hysterectomy and the emotional as well as physical aspects of it are complicated. Best wishes and really your blog is the epitome of a genuine soul. – Alison

    Thank you :) . You read almost all of them. That is like a year’s worth of blog posts!! I’m impressed.
    I’m not really dealing with any emotional because ready for all of it and none of it scared me. The physical is very frustrating though. The physical is causing it’s own kind of emotional aspects to it. Mainly frustration and concern. But I go to the doctor Monday. She can let me know if there is a need to be frustrated and concerned :) Thanks again!

    Oops. I meant I linked to you from awalkabout’s blog. ;-)

    Nice! I have a friend who I have turned on to your blog and she is always telling me that if someone could be a fly on the wall in my house that they would probably get a lot of laughs at what goes on! (She loves your blog btw, she went back and started from the very first post!) I just thought that was funny that you used the “fly on the wall” term since I’ve heard that a lot lately about our family! LOL!

    That is crazy!

    “What the hell?” -I love it! That totally cracked me up.

    Yeah when he said that I couldn’t help but laugh and hug him. Probably didn’t help with the cussing issue but at the moment that was all I knew to do :lol:

    Too funny! Thanks for sharing these. ;)

    We just can’t beat life’s real stuff fir interest, can we? And your gentle, accepting, and graceful handling of and presentation of the “real stuff” is refreshing to my Soul.

    I love you.
