Texting and Synchronizing

My daughter texted me in the middle of the school day.

Her:  My period started.  Can you come and get me?

Me:  Mine, too!  We're like twins!  *SQUEEE*!

Her:  Ha. Ha.

Me:  Did you soil yourself?

Her:  It's not visible.

Me:  Then why do I need to come and get you?

Her:  It feels weird.

Me:  Welcome to my world.

Her:

Me:  Where are you?

Her:  In the bathroom.

Me:  How long have you been there?

Her:  20 minutes.

Me:  That's just plain sad.

Her:  Can I call Grandma and tell her I'm sick?

Me:  No, you can't lie to Grandma.

Jenn:  Hey!  When are we going to lunch?

Me:  I'll be in town in two weeks!  Will you be around?

Jenn:  We'll be moving out of our house but let's do lunch and call it therapy.  HA!

Her:  Mom?  Are you still there?

Me:  Therapy it is!  Are you bringing the Klonipin au de toilette?

Her:  Why do I need therapy?  What are you talking about?

Me:  Oops.  Sorry.  I'll be there in 20 minutes.

    Another good example of why I should never take up texting.

    Thank you for providing this message.

    Love it! And you just inspired my next post.

    Is your daughter speaking to you again yet by chance?

    Ooooh you are going to be in BIG trouble when she reads the blog! LOL

    My daughter was texting for me because I was driving and I cannot do both at the same time. She was also texting her sister on her phone. She had my VT's pretty confused when she responded to them with at text meant for my other daughter. Pretty funny.

    Dear mother,
    I will not be talking to you for the next week. Thank you for humiliating me. I hope your next period starts in public and it IS visible.

    --your extremely irritated daughter

    p.s. just so you are aware, makayla was the one who alerted me to this post. That tells me two things. 1)her mother and (I'm guessing) others in the ward follow your blog, so now they will never be able to look at me the same way again; and 2)YES, my friends do sometimes read things on this blog, and what you say actually impacts my life. Are you not at all sensitive to that?

    Other than this being hilarious. I am sorry BandGeekGirl. Fact of life and all that. If it makes you feel any better, it has been QUITE visible for all of us at one time or another. Probably for you too at some point. Then this embarrassment will be NOTHING compared :)

How To Be A Dedicated Neurotic

Going through old files from graduate school, I found an invaluable pamphlet. Be a Dedicated Neurotic Remember the Past. . . and Regret it. Abhor the Present. Dread the Future. 1. Become preoccupied with the body, and make a long list of symptoms. Make them sound very clinical and professional... 2. BLAME your boss, your spouse, your partner, your neighbor, your kid. THEY are responsible for your miseries. 3. Feel trapped. You couldn't possibly declare your own independence without hurting someone's feelings. 4. Overeat. Rationalize and eat! Eat an insulated wall around yourself. Diet for a few days and say it doesn't work for you. 5. Self-pity. No matter what, feel sorry for yourself. Agonize over things about which no one cares. 6. Don't ever try. That way nobody can really accuse you of failure. You can always say, "But I could have done it." 7. Stress how shy you are. Insist that the world must come to you. You're special. 8. Your agg...

Pioneer Trek

Utah was founded by the Mormon pioneers in 1847 after enduring unimaginable losses and seeking a place of peace. July 24th marks the anniversary that the first wagon trains arrived in the Salt Lake Valley. Their numbers were greatly diminished by crossing the country in wagons and handcarts, dying of scurvy, tuberculous, malaria, starvation, unidentified fevers, and freezing to death. This, they found preferable to facing the extermination order put forth by Governor Boggs of Missouri. I believe this is the most courageous act of faith - to leave all they had that was familiar and travel the rough terrain in the unknown in search of a place where they could worship in peace. My daughters left this morning for a small re-creation of what the pioneers experienced. I don't love the idea since I know so many of the pioneers died but it is a way for many of the youth to connect to their ancestors and understand what many of the early members endured for their faith. The youth were asked...

Flu

The flu has been making its way through our family.  The first to be hit was the 15 year old.  She was very, very angry.  At me.  She had been begging for the flu shot for the past three months.  I kept forgetting.  She got better but it's one more thing to discuss on her future therapist's couch. Today I picked up my 5 year old from school.  He told me about making valentine's for his friends and how he gave his valentine to his best friend, Chase.  Chase is the little boy who grabbed my scarf on my way to my car today, looked at me earnestly and yelled his telephone number to me so fast I couldn't process it then ran away. "Today I felt so sick." "Why didn't you call me to pick you up?" "I told Teacher but she didn't call you." "What did you say?" "I told her my head hurt and I felt dizzy." "What did she say?" "She told me I wasn't sick." I took mental note to talk to his teacher about c...
