Thursday Thoughts

Why, yes I am quite prolific, this week! You're welcome.  It ought to make up for the next couple of weeks when I will be on Spring Break Blog Posting Hiatus.  Ok, so I'm actually just going on vacation with the fam, but it's more fun to make up Important Sounding Names. With unnecessary capital letters, of course.

I'm a little too scattered today to string together a whole blog post about one topic, so for today, enjoy Thursday Thoughts with Bethany. Cue theme music.

*Why do the gas pumps at Crystal Flash have to talk to me? No, I'm not schizophrenic, they play advertisements while you pump gas.  Just shut up and dispense my gas already!. If  I wanted to hear incessant yammering while filling up, I'd roll my windows down and listen to my kids bickering inside the van.

*I can't believe that Sandra Bullock's husband cheated on her with.......THIS.

  Are you kidding me? I do not understand men at all.

*I'm a little worried-my daughter is in a 3rd/4th grade split advanced class.  I now officially have to look at the paper to make sure she's spelling  her spelling words correctly when I quiz her at home. You'll occasionally even hear me ask "Is that even a real word?!"  Did you know that "decuple" is a word? My 9 year old does.  Do you know for sure without spell check, where all the l's and n's in the words centennial and millennium go? My 9 year old does.  I'm not bragging, I'm looking for pity.  I can't have a child who will eventually be smarter than me-that's dangerous!

*Someone please take away my husband's new Journey and Boston albums.  I don't mind a little Boston or Journey now and then, but really, do we have to drive around town blasting "Don't Stop Believing" at car-rattling decibel levels everywhere we go?

*Favorite quote of the week: My 7 year old son inspecting his new $6 Lego set that he bought with his own money- "Well, THIS was money well spent!"

*Speaking of my son, he brought home another.....umm....violent drawing.  I'm saving things up for another Disturbing Pictures My Son Draws post.  We don't expose him to violent tv shows or movies or games-I don't know where the love of missiles, and bombs and explosions comes from.  Must be in the DNA.

Well, that's all the thoughts I have for today.  I am thoughtless now.
