Kindermusik and Other Stories

The kids and I made it to Kindermusik Tuesday night. It was a fun, rambunctious time and we loved it. Ms. Melinda gave the kids t-shirts. My kiddies love them! We had a really good time and Henry gave Ms. Melinda a dollar to pay for the book he ripped the last time we were there. One of my favorite mothers could not make it but her dad brought her kids...Henry thought he was the greatest man and played with him a lot during the class. The gent was very kind to Henry and I think Henry would very gladly have him as a grandpa ;-)

Unhappily my basement has become a super scary place to go. And I go there a lot to do laundry. We have had a lot of rain and suddenly the basement floor and walls have bugs on them. I keep calling them slugs but I don't think that is what they are. They kinda grey colored and smallish...I am getting the creepy crawlies just thinking of them! Plus there are webs galore down there and hanging over the stairs is the biggest daddy long legs I have ever seen...I think it has eaten a cat it's that big! Of course I can't reach the darn thing and I am terrified to go down now. Also the rest of the house has become full of cobwebs and an occasional spider. How did this happen? I clean them one day and two days later it is covered again. I realize this house is OLD but I can't keep up and I freak when I think of any of this touching the children. I keep telling my husband I want to move. I can't handle creepy crawlies. Any ideas? I need ideas!!!

And in other news...My mother is still not talking to me. It will be two weeks tomorrow since she has spoken to me. I have NO IDEA why either. Two weeks ago she was going out for dinner with people from work. She said she'd come over at seven and bring dinner for me. I had the doors unlocked for her since six thirty (which I hate having unlocked!). At ten after eight the dogs barked and barked and Henry said she was here but she never came in. I later found my dinner hanging off the doorknob in a plastic bag. She never came in, never called, and she has not spoken to me since. Perhaps she thinks she is punishing me for something but the kids and I have been enjoying our time alone and have been getting out of the house a lot more. My life is stressful enough, I do not need any extra.

Well that concludes the news that I feel like giving today. I hope everyone has a good Thursday and a great weekend!
