I have become obsessed with this series!! I got them the week between Christmas and New year, read non stop until I finished all 4 books. Then within a month re-read them again, then I found the authors website and have read everything on there about all the books and the book that might come out that is a companion to Twilight.
I read everything about this series and about the movies. I would talk about it non stop but that gets on peoples nerves. LOL. I even bought a "team edward" t-shirt, I know when the DVD comes out, its still over a month away!! There is a book about the movie coming out too that I am thinking about buying too.
This is just bad, I really need to find something else to read to become engrossed in b/c I think my obsession is unhealthy!!!

Weed
Here's the story. I was at lunch yesterday and my phone rings, I notice that the number is from my son's school and immediately I groan b/c lately he has been getting phantom illnesses which makes him call me. Here's how the conversation went:
Me: Hello
Principal: Hell, I am trying to reach M's mother
Me: This is her
Principal: This is your childs principal and I need to talk to you, he is not in trouble but he did come see me today.
Me: umm ok (in my head, oh crap oh crap oh crap)
Principal: You son's teacher sent him to me today b/c while in vocabulary class he and another little boy got into a conversation about weed. When I asked him why he was talking about it, he said it just popped into his head.
Me: what?? (in my head, WTF??? where did he get this, what did I say OMFG I am that parent)
Principal: Now I know with things going on right now he has probably heard some things in the news but I told him he cannot talk about them in school and I hope you will reiterate that to him at home.
Me: Oh I will (in my head, did we even talk about Michael Phelps, what about MTV what has he been watching I thought I was there too, did I miss something?? Oh no I have that kid! )
Principal: He is not in trouble and he is concerned that would call you but I had to. He also wouldn't eat lunch today he said he was sick over the weekend and didn't think he should eat.
Me: Thank you for calling I will talk to him this evening.
Hang up
So now the freak out starts! Why was he talking about Weed, what does he know about it? Where did he hear about it. I always joke that I have a teenager, my child has always been an old man stuck in a little kids body but I am not ready for this I cannot have this talk with him, OMG!
So what do I do? I call my dad who laughs b/c his grandson is talking about weed, then he tells me to use Michael Phelps as an excuse and he thinks the school over reacted. What do I hear. Na na na na your kid talks about weed.
Then the question what in vocabulary class could have him think of weed?????
So I continue freaking out during lunch and the rest of the day at work, thankfully I had a boat load waiting for me when I got back to distract me from this some what.
I race home to get him from my aunt who picked him up early and fed him. Good now I can just talk to him...
Me: So how was school today?
Child: Good (looks nervous)
Me: How was vocabulary?
Child: fine
Me: (annoyed now) did anything happen in school today?
Child: No.
Me: Ok now your principal called today about your conversation.
Child: Oh
Me: I am not mad at you I just have to know what made you think of weed in vocabulary.
This is where he goes into a long story about homophones and talking about those in class and I am thinking great he thought of weed as a homophone! Nope he just thought of Michael Phelps. (ok so we did talk about this last night how could I forget??). It turns out all he said was that Michael Phelps got in trouble for smoking weed. Another student heard this and told the teacher who promptly sent mine to the office.
So my freak out was not necessary but OMG!!! The teacher didn't even bother to figure out what was going on??? I wonder is my child going to be known as the one who brought up weed in 3rd grade???
I know a few years from now this will be funny to me and I am sure I am going to tease him about this as a teen but right now I am still a little freaked.
Just thought I would share my lovely day with you.

Brilliant Mom Moment
Today the monster and I went to Best Buy to use our gift cards. He wanted the new Hinder CD, there were 2 versions at the store. One that was supposed to come with a free down loaded ring tone and wallpaper and extra songs, it was only $1 more than the other version so I thought why not. Well my dumb ass didn't look at the parental warning on the cover that said "adult content" so I open the CD in the car so that we can listen to it and am accosted with boobies. All naked boobies!!! everywhere. I had to tell him he cannot have the CD case, I know that eventually I will have to deal with puberty but I don't want to push him into it. Good golly, now I have to start reading warnings, crap!!!

Work sucks!!
A quick work rant...
I changed positions at the end of Oct and the transition was not a smooth one, in fact I hate this job!! It was getting slightly more bareable until yesterday when all hell broke loose and there isn't anything I can do but watch it spin out of controll.
So my job depends on others doing their jobs and this one person in my office will not do hers.
Example 1. She was asked about a job b/c corporate was asking about it. Corp said there was material on site that needed to be installed. So 3 emails and a face to face later she scheduled it. However she never bothered to check that all the material was there. So I emailed corp and told them we would be in today only to find out she didn't check her shit. So now corp is mad. I am mad, my salesperson is mad but the one person who should be mad doesn't appear to be...her boss. He should take her aside and talk to her.
Example 2. There was a job that was a must be done. A different company for this one but still corporate involvement. So that corp called and scheduled things and it was known by all that it had to be done on the date that was given. Well guess what the installer didn't show. Now why in the hell didn't she know, why did I get a call from corp informing me? I should have known so that I could run interfernece. ARG!! Now my other sales person is mad, a different corp but again the boss man doesn't appear to be mad!!
I am so annoyed. I am going to have to create a tracking system for all orders in this persons area and stay on top of her doing her job as well as mine so that I can avoid these things in the future. This infuriates me b/c its not my job any more to schedule things, its hers. I think the boss needs to take her into his office and have a talk about her system b/c obviously it isn't working!!! Then she needs remedial training b/c again obviously she doesn't get her job that she has been at for over a year??????
I NEED TO FIND A NEW JOB AND SOON B/C I AM GOING TO EXPLODE HERE!!!!!!!!
On another cat lady observation: My boy cat sleeps like a human, he stretches out and uses a pillow, its so funny I want to take pictures each night but I cannot be that big of a crazy cat lady.

Still a cat lady
As I was going to bed last night I had to scoop the litter and had to add yet another thing to the growing list of reason's I am a crazy cat lady...
I was so happy with my new pooper scooper that it wasn't funny. It works so much better than the old one.
then the sad fact hit me... I am a crazy cat lady.

Pictures
So I am so excited that I was able to post a picture!!! It only took like 10 tries but I did it :) Enjoy now I might post more pictures since I know how but I also have to remember how too.
Crazy cat lady...
I just realized its Saturday night and I am having a Gilmore Girls marathon with my cat curled up on my chest. This leads me to the sad realization that I am becoming a crazy cat lady. ARG!!!
This isn't the only evidence that I can show you either...I uploaded my Christmas pictures and I have more of cats (mine and my mother's) than I do of anything else. I need a life!! One that doesn't involve me getting wrapped up in a book series that keeps me holed up in my house for a week then to turn to obsessing over a canceled TV series.
Based on this I am turning into a crazy cat lady with no life. Great!!!
Here is just one of my examples:
