Friday Fragments 1/15/10
This week, Momma's little darling did a big no-no. I guess Blake was annoyed with us for making him take out all the trash, because at one point, he decided to throw one of the glass bottles at the neighbor's house (sigh). Usually he is such a good kid, but every once in a while, he just gets a wild hair and does something totally bizarre.
Fortunately, the neighbors were very understanding about it and none of the glass got in their tires or anything. Naturally, I marched him straight over to apologize and put him on restriction for a few days, but I could tell he was truly sorry. He gave both of them a nice hug and told them how sorry he was and asked if he could do some chores or something to make up for it. I thought that was a nice touch for him. It was a good lesson, so I'm glad they mentioned it to us, but it was sure embarassing to have him act up like that.
Neighborhood dog - speaking of our neighborhood, we had a bit of a situation here this week. You know that neighbor who has a dog that just wanders all over the neighborhood? I swear, every place I've lived has had a dog like that. We've been here for about 3 years and for most of that time, the people on the corner have let their dog wander the neighborhood on a near-daily basis.
Just for the record, that is SO annoying. She's a perfectly nice dog, but she has chosen OUR yard for her bathroom, and she chases our cats, etc. We've done all the polite things - asked them to keep her locked up, shooed her back home, given them a warning etc. You know, what can you do?
So, we called Animal Control. Not to take the poor dog away or anything, but just to talk to them and remind them of the rules.
Amazingly enough, the very next day, three eggs were thrown at our garage door. Coincidence? I don't think so. I guess people who don't have enough consideration for their neighbors to keep their dog under control would do something like that...
I've been working at the same company for 18 years. When I started working there all those years ago, my new boss had literally been working there since I was five years old. Isn't that a trip?
To think that the whole time you were in kindergarten, and elementary school, and High School, and you get married and you have your first kid, and ALL that time, this guy has been coming to work every single day doing the same thing. It's just mind boggling.
Have you ever driven by a bunch of kindergarteners and wondered which one of them was going to be your boss some day? Chew on that one for a while...
My husband told me he lost 6 pounds this week. That is total BS. He ate like he always does, basically chowing down on anything that comes near his plate. As far as exercise - don't make me laugh! He NEVER exercises. I can't even get him to walk the dog! And in the meantime, I'm killing myself off and I never even lose a pound.
I think it's just water weight or something. I think they should figure "Man pounds" like they do dog years - on a 7 to 1 ratio!

Your son's response is great. I'm sorry about the neighbors.
Check this out. Our pastor's wife is 13 years younger. A couple of times our son has babysat their daughter. There is 13 years difference between them. I tease him, "Just think, when you're changing her diapers, she could be your wife one day."
I love this post idea, I think we all have fragments of thoughts floating around in our head and I love the idea that you have wrangled them together for a weekly post!
