Oh, I wish that had happened! I would have been unemployed for a week. Unfortunately, by not performing any interviews the hiring group was able to sneak stuff under HR until it was too late to do anything. This new post is with their sister group. I figure if I throw my ap in there again and they continue to snub me HR will notice, not that I particularly want this gig, but I would love the same thing in Part-Time. It just doesn't pay enough to rationalize everyday daycare costs. I've also gotten my resume passed on to another job. That in my opinion is the best deal!

The odd part was my son said he would love to be the Blues Clues guy. Who knew? Only chance he gets is he is Santa on Christmas Eve. There are only 3 kids who still believe, but he gets into it. This year his beard wouldn't stay on. I'm thinking even the 4 year old figured it out. My kids knew right away. That is what happens when your kindergarten class is only half Christian . Those Jewish and Muslim kids are very quick to set you straight! They survived.

eh, even in a school where most kids practice Christmas by first grade, when you write your Santa letter with the help of a third grader the rumors and disbelief are swirling.

pretty sure he's going to Faber College.
My nephew's 12, seventh grade, and my sister swears he just found out this year. He was devastated. I still have my doubts about it.

Wow! I don't know how much my 4 year old believes it. I think she does, but it doesn't really matter. We kept doing the Santa thing most of my life. Well after my parents knew my sister and I no longer believed. We all enjoyed the tradition so much, but it was a sit down family decision.

I have a sister in law who tried to make her son believe till 5th grade. This same kid wasn't allowed to have video games and only went on educational vacations. He was the only boy cousin near my son's age, but Son was never allowed to sleep over...even thought they live on the water and had a boat ... because I think she thought that Son was a bad influence! After all, he played video games and watched TV! Idiot She is the same s i l who has a car that cost more than her salary for a year. She only has a 2 mile commute too. Show off genius! Oh, and the kid wasn't allowed to come here either. He has never been in our house. We asked if he and his dad wanted to go to the town pool. Hubby and his brother grew up going to that pool every day when they were kids. Hubby wanted to go with the boys at least once. NOOOOO, public pool! For her son! Never! Who knows who was swimming in that water! idiot //sigh he had so many nice girlfriends when he dated But it seems they are happy, so I guess it is ok. Oh, she also follows her son around on Christmas Eve to make sure he isn't drinking. Even now that he is 21 But the kid is a bartender for his frat up at school! She thinks he doesn't drink! Frat at the Ivy league school. Not where he wanted to go, he liked one of the big out of state , state schools...he wasn't given a choice once he was accepted. At least he really likes it. She would never let him transfer out if he didn't .
Well, I managed to put the dog walk off. Guess I have to do it now. See ya!

We didn't have a formal decision, but just kept up the pretense till they got married, stockings and all.

Wow! I thought being forced to go to the state college my parents went to was miserable. I fought every step of it, but it didn't turn out so bad. My dad told me he didn't want to have to buy a plan ticket to come get me when (not if) I got in trouble, and that I wasn't going to a school near an air force base. . .

I second that notion! Maybe they will be smart and move to the other side of the country.

They must have been shocked that first Christmas away from home, no presents, empty stockings..."huh. I guess Santa doesn't know where we live yet..."
hey again everybody!
My brother in law is worse. They bought a house up near the college so they could visit him! It is like a 5+ hour drive, at least, and they go all the time! He plans his vacation around the kid. The mom is still mad the kid changed his major. She had him a doctor. She doesn't even say hello to me when we have family stuff. Can you guess I don't like her???? She had cancer last year and my husband said, you know, I don't even care. I'm glad for my brother that it worked out well, but I don't care. Plus, he is my son's godfather. In our family the god kids get extra good gifts. But her family doesn't do that, so son got what everyone else got (this from someone who loves to tell you how much money they have). She buys the gifts. She likes buying for the girls, so they get good gifts. Since she hates video stuff, she would never buy him any of that. So every kid got a great gift and son would get a sweater. His sister got nicer gifts from his godparent. My step sister is his godmother and she has no money, so son didn't expect much. Her excuse was, oh we don't do that in our family. Well, this isn't your family, it his his! Of course, he could have bought that one gift...
Dog is now barking. I think he noticed that he went from two walks to one, to none!

that's okay, my daughter is fussing (granted she doesn't feel well) because I fastened the snaps on her overalls. Now I unfastened them and she is still fussing.

fussy. They both have all the makings of a horrendous cold. Waiting for youngest to get her Chicken Pox spots, had the oldest vaccinated for it on Tuesday, but she was already exposed, just not as much as Ver2.

More of the same mostly. Waiting for the job I've been unofficially been working on to get posted so I can apply. Yeah, it'll be a 3 days open job too. Still waiting to hear back on a different job (the one I applied for at Christmas). I keep thinking it was forever ago, but since they didn't even score my exam until the 7th, it really hasn't been a very long time, especially with how long it takes for state government to do hiring (I've got some experience with that, already).

Now's better than later! I'll never forget how sick my uncle was when he came down with Chicken Pox. He was 45, I think.
I broke the news to my son as he entered middle school. Honest.
Meeting over. Off to lunch and to see if the fence is being torn down (replaced).
wait, what... still believe what? you don't mean... not santa... NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!111!!!1!!!

yeah, my best friend got Chicken Pox as a kid and gave them to his Dad. It is really bad in adults.
What really burns my butt is that Monica and Rachel steal my TV Guide EVERY WEEK!!!

I believe that was how his Mom described it! Orc and I both had a nice healthy dose of Chicken Pox as kids, so in that department we should be fine (I am sure I am, they tested my immunity when I was pregnant). It's just going to be a miserable few weeks, especially since we all seem to have gotten a cold as well.

shudder! daughter has given us colds. she has had chicken pox shot. She's almost 15 and I had her vaccinated before it was recommended. The health dept. nurses tried to talk me out of giving it to her.
