My 35-Year-Old Kindergartener

Category: chooch

I can’t believe Chooch is in Kindergarten. But then he retorts with things like “touché” and I think, “How is he only in Kindergarten?”

Now that he’s in school for a full day as opposed to half, I have no idea what to do with all this free time, all this glorious, scandalous, COMPLETELY DANGEROUS IN MY HANDS free time. Today, while sad (I promise I was sad! I even called Lisa and made her talk to me because it was ominously quiet in the house), I sat around with steepled fingers and a mischievous grin, wondering what to get myself into first.

Turns out, Tuesdays are not very adventurous days for me, so all I did was watch the RW/RR Challenge reunion show on MTV.com, exercise and then make a salad. Insert also lots of staring at the walls in between those titillating activities.

I’m thinking though that with all this extra time, I just might start painting again. I would have done that today, but I spent countless minutes last night applying those stupid Sally peel-on nail art things and by the time I was done, I had heart palpitations. So until I score myself some latex gloves from the serial killer depot, I guess I will just stick to tormenting the cats and watching Dance Gavin Dance videos on YouTube. (Which I actually haven’t done in awhile. Vacation broke me!)

(Speaking of vacation, I have so much more to tell you! And by “you,” I mean the Ukranian girl with the back brace who I like to imagine reads this in between milking goats and pulling her father off all the malnourished neighborhood girls.)

    Jen is happy to have the kids off at school again as well…although it is kind of weird

    TJ kindergarden is only half a day, whereas preschool is a full day, so now, she has abby at the school half a day, and gavin a full day…next year, it will be opposite

    Riley!!! I love this picture, he’s growing up so fast! How was his first day?

    He really is growing up way too fast! I hate it!

    He said his first day was good but he’s annoyed that everyone sits in groups of 6 and there are FOUR GIRLS in his group. No bueno.

    Every time I had a day to myself I think of all the amazing things I’m going to do. Mostly I sit down with a package of Oreos and a glass of milk to watch HGTV for hours.

    That’s always the case, too. I swear I get more done when there are 89 different things going on around me.

    He’s a very handsome 35 year old.

    Thanks, Brandy! I’ll tell him you said that; compliments from girls agitate him. :)
