Long Distance Love

In an attempt to save money I have changed our phone plan so if you are not in the 253 area code, call me because I won't be calling you!

Oh baby

and a smart one at that!!
for those who don't know, she is crying when she hears the Michigan fight song.

Words I hate to hear

Upon returning home from judo last night Tug said "We don't have any more pull-ups for {j}." Ugh. {j} is potty trained during the day, but at night he lets it flow. I turned to {j} and said, "Do you think you can go the whole night without peeing in your undies."

{j} Yes. I am not wearing any undies (he often takes off his pull-up in the morning but instead of putting new underwear on just puts pants on).

{me} Hm, ok. Do you think you can go the whole night without peeing in your pants.

{j} Sure.

{me} Let's try it. If you wake up at night and think you need to pee, get up and go to the potty. Don't just stay in bed and pee, ok?

{j} Ok.

around 4 AM he came into our bed. I checked his pants as he was crawling in and once he was settled I whispered into his ear

{me} Good job buddy, I am so proud of you for not going pee in your bed (he had gotten up once during the night to go pee).

{j} Do you want to know why I changed?

{me} Huh?

{j} Do you want to know why I have new clothes on?

{me} Uh oh.

{j} I didn't pee in my bed. My bed is wet and it got me wet (no, he had no water or anything to spill on the bed, he peed).

I told Tug the story this morning and he looked at {j} and said, "Bummer dude, your bed peed on you, huh?" {j} is still insisting he didn't pee. We are now on our way to the store for some pull-ups.

For Sarah

who was brave enough to post a pro-Buckeye post while living with a Hawkeye fan (for those who know nothing about college football, both Ohio State and Iowa are in the Big 10 which means they play each other during regular season - unless they don't that year because there are actually 11 teams in the Big 10 and every year you skip a team; except Michigan, the Buckeyes always play Michigan as the last game of the regular season.) Wow, what a tangent.

So Sarah, this is for you and your sailor hubby. Respect 'em when they take the field, take it to 'em on the scoreboard.

Five

I can't believe some of you are disappointed with my announcements. This is serious business people!! You want some sort of life altering announcement?? Well, to me, this is life altering.

My Saturdays will not be the same for the next 2 months. Every single Saturday will be spent on the couch, moving only to get myself or Tug (if he is lucky) some food (the kids will fend for themselves).

If there is a loss, the week after will not be pleasant!!

Things are a changing folks, believe me.

And on the date, THE BIG DATE, November 21, 2009 we hope to change that 5 to a 6 . . .SIX years in a row that we beat the hell out of Michigan!

Only 10 more days until kickoff.

GO BUCKEYES!!

Announcing. . .

since it has been a few days since I last posted,

there are now

only

TWELVE days until kickoff!!

GO BUCKEYES!

Anxiously awaiting

Time to start counting the weeks down.

Maybe I should put one of those tickers on my sidebar.

I can't believe we are going to go through this again!!

The yelling, the screaming.

The agony, the ecstasy.

Only 16 more days until kickoff.

GO BUCKEYES!!

Judon't know who you are messing with

{l} and {r} were tested tonight for belt promotions. Though they started at the same time, {r} was testing for a yellow/white belt and {l} was testing for a yellow belt (higher belt). Both passed!! I don't have any pictures because they didn't get their belts today ~ I was told it would still be a few weeks, until they get everyone tested.

GOOD JOB GIRLS!!
