Thanks HWR!  He's got his father's coloring (blondish hair/blue eyes), but is starting to look a bit more like me.
pmundheim, your daughter is lovely.  Great picture, and it can be displayed year round, not just at Christmas.

Almost 3...he's still a tad bit slow.  I can go in the basement or in the next room and "Ho Ho Ho" and he gets all excited that Santa is around watching him maul his brother to the ground "BEEEEEEEEEE GOOOOOOD...HO HO HO!"

hmm... Aidan didn't quite get the whole Santa thing so much last year, but this year he's right w/ it.  Tomorrow he gets his present from Santa from daycare.  I had to pick it up and drop it off after my mother picked him up today.  That way he doesn't see Mommy bringing it and put two and two together.

My previous phone number ended in 5083 and the local Kroger Grocery store's ended in 8053.  Got calls all the time.  Figured moving to another city 10 miles south finally those calls would stop.  Now my number is 1535.  The local Kroger Pharmacy is 1565.  Don't you know I STILL get the calls.  I thought it was my friend Kim joking w/ me the first time, and the person calling didn't give it up.  After hanging up I checked the phone book.  What the luck.  I come home occassionally to little old people on my answering machine thinking they are ordering their refills despite the fact it's my voice on the machine and I say nothing about Kroger.
I also get calls for Blockbuster- 1539.
Love small towns and limited exchanges. 

My other pet peeve-  finding a snake in my apartment- alive.  I don't care if it wasn't quite 2 feet.  It's a snake. 

Cool, Scott!  how old is he?  Aidan will be 4, two days before Christmas.  He's right at the peak of the Santa Claus, and really understands the whole presents, Santa and all this time.  I'm really looking forward to it

Seriously?  I don't think he works at a mall.  This was a Santa that came to daycare for pictures.  I think he also works for a local photography studio for 'professional' photos.  Aidan hasn't gone to the mall Santa, our little mall is basically closing down due to new strip malls.

Inane Surveys.

Thoughts?

I bought three albums (vinyl) at the same time:
the Police "Ghost in the Machine", and "Sychronicity" along w/ Rick Springfield's "Success Hasn't Spoiled Me Yet".
The Bear's single isn't that bad... of course, I had a single 45 of "Pac-Man Fever"... 

I mention the child support and it looks like it's at a stop again- you'd think the jerk would at least let me know AHEAD of time, but no... just avoids me altogether- or I should say my son- which is worse as he's only been around for him for less than 6 months- now I guess he'll disappear AGAIN... great, and I've got his birthday and Christmas coming up in less than 30 days now... just wonderful...
oh, and I love my son, but I've been up since 4:30 this morning when he woke up puking in bed, then wouldn't go back to bed, so I had to watch Jurassic Park 3 in the wee hours- and get puked up on again while on the coach.  All part of being a mom, but still very stressful...
Gonna hit the gym tomorrow and try to blow off some steam...
