My comment to my twins post...

I have really been having fun with Fantasy Friday this week. Several people have asked who wrote it (like I am going to tell early) so I am curious about who you are guessing this week. Email me and let me know. If you haven’t had a chance to read yet click here!

I have a little or this and that to talk about. I had a very rough day Friday. LJ (I guess Tobias will just have to get used to this) called Thursday night very sick. It sounded like he had the flu. I don’t like my baby being sick so far away. He called the next morning worse than the night before. He was missing an exam and had to have a doctor’s note to be able to take it later. He could barely stand up and couldn’t drive himself to the doctor. (Since he had just this week gotten his fifth ticket for a moving violation in the past 3 years we know he also can’t drive for crap when he is well either, but I digress). I am sure most of you with grown children have experienced this; it is an awful feel to know you need to be there and can’t be.

Of course I am so very lucky in one way, my sister work on LJ’s campus. I called her for her suggestions and she immediately got off work and went and picked him up took him to the doctor and then got him back home. He didn’t have the flu just a horrible cold. Dee went to the drug store and got him everything he needed. So my suggestion is when you are looking for a college for your kids look for one that comes with an aunt on campus. They are wonderful!!!!

Mollie was dying to go shopping today so off we went to the next town over, about 20 miles away – Mollie at the wheel. It really turned into a wonderful trip. We just talked and talked. We discussed parenting styles and she told me she liked mine. She says that she likes the fact that I let her do most of the things she asks to do and go most of the places she asks to go. She says lots of her friends parents say no to a lot of things for no apparent reason. She says that I always give her reasons when I do say no. She says she doesn’t always agree with my thinking but she at least knows I have thought about it.

I told her that the reason I said yes a lot was because she usually showed good judgment herself and didn’t ask to do ridiculous things. I told her that the more she showed good sense herself the more she would be allowed to do.

When we got to town she suddenly lost interest in shopping for her clothes and spent all her time looking for new things for me. She did find a few good things for me but I declined the lime green horizontal strips (I did try it on to humor her) and it looked better than I thought. I laughed as we walked in the mall and told her she was fulfilling the destiny to which she was born! When Nick and I were discussing whether or not to have a second child (I was humoring him to call it a discussion, I always knew I would have at least two) but I told Nick that if we didn’t have a daughter he would be the one who had to shop with me after my mom was gone. He was thrilled and relieved when his little girl was born!

We had a wonderful time playing this morning! The best thing about having a teenager in the house is the fact that if you can ever get them to go to bed at night nothing will wake them up in the morning. It is a pretty safe time for a little spanking fun! I got to pick three. (Like I am going to get to pick for Eva once I win our challenge) Only I picked fun ones for me!! I picked the leather paddle (furry on one side), the bath brush and the belt. He did a pretty good job with each one!! That bath brush feel so deceptively smooth and cool when he rubs it on my butt. Not the same feeling as being swatted with it! It hurts like heck when he is using it but it’s good for that ‘later’ feeing. He also used the plug and let me play with the vibrator. Some great olde fashion loving followed! A very, very good morning!!
