No Nursery Songs Here
I kissed a girl. I liked it. Hope my boyfriend don't like it. I taste cherry chapstick.
And again: I kissed a girl. I liked it. Hope my boyfriend don't like it. I taste cherry chapstick
And again and again and again.
That would be Rylee singing the past few days.
And this was our conversation last night:
Ry: Kiera likes that song too. It's her favorite.
Me: Really?
Ry: Yeah, we both sing it today.
Me: Were you in your classroom?
Ry: No, we were singing it in the locker room.
oh boy.....
Me: Did the teachers hear you?
Ry: No we sing like this whispers the words to the song
Phew
Me: Ry, sing me Twinkle Twinkle
Yeah....I'll be expecting a note or call from the teacher this week.

He Shoots & He Scores!!!
So much to write but the highlight of the weekend was the kids' game on Saturday night. We were ahead by 1 goal and with less than 50 seconds left in the game I noticed that the other team had pulled their goalie. It was 6 on 5 and they were hammering our defense, which is what Cody plays. Paula and I were in the boxes keeping time & score when I said "if Cody get his stick on the puck I know he'll get a goal". No sooner were the words out of my mouth when Cody gets the puck and sends it soaring clear across the ice. It was right on target and slid right between the pipes. AWESOME!!
In other sports action: Friday night was a community wide pep rally for the big football game on Saturday. I was so excited to go! Rylee and I sat with some neighbors and my friend Michelle, who had been playing for the team. Unfortunately, it was pretty lame and NOTHING like what it was back in the day but Rylee enjoyed watching the cheerleaders and this was the first year. Hopefully it grows from year to year. After the pep rally we darted over to the next town to catch the last quarter of the final football game of the season for the Mounties. Michelle younger son plays on that team.
Saturday was the big rivalry game. Hoosac vs Drury. North Adams vs Adams. Red vs Blue. It's such an experience. Alumni, parents, administrators, teachers, students.....it is such a community wide event every year. And this year was especially close because both teams had great seasons and the results of the game would determine who would advance to the playoffs. Rylee had so much fun watching the dualling cheerleaders and Molly and Paige got into the spirit with decorated t-shirts and war paint with glitter. So cute. And even better...we won!
Saturday night was the kids' hockey game and then today Cody went to Holyoke with the coach so I could take Molly to her game with the girls' team. They won 6-0 and Molly played great. She had a bunch of shots on goal and an assist.

The Sun and The Moon
A couple of really cool things happen at my household this time of year and month.
The first one I noticed the morning after we changed our clocks back. When I was taking a shower around 8:00 in the morning, I felt the sun shining down on me (hey that sounds like a song LOL) through the window. It was awesome. It makes me feel as though I am outdoors. Outdoor showers are THE best. I went on a mountain biking trips many many moons ago and the place had a shower that was out on the deck. It was awesome (and luckily for the other guests, it was surrounded by a shower curtain). So now I get a little taste of that every morning. It's great.
The second thing I noticed takes place at night. I recently moved my bed so now the head of it is under a couple of small windows that sit a little high on the wall. And now that the leaves are all of the trees, and the moon is full, I have a full view of the moon when I lay down to sleep at night. I love it.
So I can sleep under the moonlight and shower under the sunlight. I have a little bit of outdoors right there in my little old house. It's perfect.

Too Many Thoughts in My Head
I haven't been blogging for very long but there is something weird that has happened to me since I started. I feel as though I am living in some sort of reality show, just not on television. It seems that as each day awakens and blossoms, somewhere in the back of mind, behind all the multi-tasking, chores, work, etc. , I am constantly "writing" about the events as they unfold.
Some are really funny little tidbit type things that I can't wait to share:
* Miss Independent Rylee yells out to me after giving herself a bath that she is done. When I asked her if she washed her whole body she proudly answers, "I washed my front bum and my back bum". Love it. I know many parents would correct their 3 year old and tell her it is called a v. a. g. i. n. a. but I am not one of them. In fact, I may start calling mine a front bum too. I can just hear it now....Excuse me pharmicist, could I get some frontbumical cream please???? And can you imagine the dirty talk?! Yeah, I won't go there but feel free to let your imaginations soar.
Some are really sad and emotional things that I just want to express:
* A friend of Cody's parents are splitting up (for just a short time I hope) and I feel so sad for all of them. I know that no marriage is perfect and that we all have our issues, but to know that such an awesome family is currently going through that breaks my heart.
* A local fireman that recently retired after 30 years died unexpectedly last weekend. He was only 58 years old, was so outgoing and personable, had a huge group of friends, loved and appreciated his wife, and his daughter just recently got married. I can't stop thinking about how awful this is for his wife. I can't even imagine losing your "everything" so early in life.
Some are the joys of parenting:
* Speaking louder than Molly (who is trying to speak louder than me so she can continue to ask the same question that I already answered with a resounding NO) to say that if she asks ONE MORE TIME then she will NOT be going to the pep rally tomorrow OR to the game on Saturday.
* Molly telling me she is sorry after she finally shut.her.mouth (what a peaceful 3.2 seconds)
* Rylee telling me that Molly said she was sorry after I didn't respond to Molly's apology.
And some are accomplishments: I went spinning today : )
And failures: I ate pecan pie after lunch : (
But mostly, they are things in my life that I have a deeper appreciation for, because I want to share them. I really enjoy putting bits and pieces of my life out into the open where some of it may or may not connect with someone else. It's pretty cool.
PS: I apologize to the 4 or so people that read these entries and then have to listen to me tell the same things to you in person.
