Chasing Time: Late Fees

2.07.2008

Late Fees

Today was a big chasing day. Got to school 20 minutes late because I had to turn around after 10 minutes of driving to go back home and get the credit card to pay for Marshall's Car Repair. (Story for another time!) Then off to my Mom's for more snow blowing. Fancier model, same hard work!
Off to the airport to circle the terminal 10 times. Before we left my Mom's I told Callie, she needed to go to the bathroom, because we had to fly out of the airport and we weren't stopping. She of course thought we were going on an airplane!
Got Marshall, dropped him off to p/u his car, headed for a visit with Great Grandma, then back to school 15 minutes late to p/u Trent. I figured since he was late in the morning, I'd let him make up the time in the afternoon! I'll see how school feels about that when I get my late fee. Urgh! Even Blockbuster got rid of late fees!

Say What???

Trent's Principal's Halloween costume was a Viking Woman. Trent:"My worst fear, my Principal is a Viking. She'll tie our arms and legs to horses and rip our legs off!" (I'm actually glad he fears her!)
Trent broke a glow stick and the glow stuff went into his eye. Once the trauma of getting it out was over he said, "Wouldn't that be awesome if I turned into a superhero now and I could shoot acid out of my eye?" (There's always a BRIGHT side!)
Trent: "If the teenagers TP'd the forest, then it would be there for you if you ever needed to go #2, plus then the TP would be going back to its source." (Very practical and intuitive Trent!)
Mom Looking at Swimsuits on-line. Trent:"Mom, are you planning on looking like that?" (Wait? I don't already?)
Callie: "Dad, you have more money than me, cause you have a wallet."
Callie: "Mom, can I wear my pink camo hat?" Mom: "No, it's too small." Callie:"Then I'm going to have my BabyAlive wear it, and when it gets small enough, I'm going to let my Barbie wear it." Mom:"Callie, the hat doesn't get smaller! Your head gets bigger!" Trent: "Callie, I think your BabyAlive should be called BabyDead cause you haven't played with it in so long!"
Trent: "Mom, is that a new handbag?" Mom:"Yes." Trent: "It looks nice on you." (O.k.! Thanks for noticing Buddy!)
Callie: "No Mom, my hair is not snarley, I took a bath at Grandma's and she put in some air conditioner."
Callie: "Mom, how old is Grandpa going to be?" Mom:"60." Callie:"Wow! He's old! That means he'll have even MORE wrinkles!"
Callie: "Don't worry Molly, if I turn 5 before you, I'll still be your cousin."
Trent:"Mom, what does nocturnal mean?" Mom:"Things that are awake at night." Callie:"Teenagers are nocturnal!"
Callie: "Mom, will you find my Diego DVD?" Mom:"What's the magic word?" Callie:"Abracadabra?"
The kids have been listening to the song "Funkytown" Trent: "Mom, where is Funkytown?" "Can we go there sometime?"
Callie: (With Croc held up to her ear) "Mom, I can hear the ocean!"
Mom:"Let's get moving Trent." Trent:"Why? I like our house where we live now!"
Callie:"Mom, when will I get a penis?" Mom:"Never. You're a girl, you have privates." Callie:"But I Waannt One!" Trent:"Wanna Trade?"
Callie: "Here Mom, I picked you these flowers for your Wedding."
Trent, "Look at those geese flying over that barn. They better watch out. "Chucck. Chucck. BANG!" (That's Daddy's Boy!)
Lifeguarding according to Callie:"Don't worry Baby Jack, I'll watch you so you don't sink."
Callie: "Mom can you turn on the light for me, my hand isn't long enough."
Mom, "Callie, Don't get that on your clothes." Callie, "I am-in't."
Trent: "Mom." Mom:"Yes Callie?" Trent:"Mom." Mom:"Yes Callie?" Trent:"MOOOOOM!" Mom:"Oh, Yes Trent?"
Callie: "Mom, Great Grandma lives in a nursery rhyme right?" (Nursing Home, Nursery Rhyme same difference.)
Callie and I are sitting on Marshall's lap. He and I kiss. Callie:"Are you guys sharing germs?"
Trent: "Callie smack that mosquito! Get him! Hit him like you hit me! Kill him! Get Mad!"
Mom: "You need to eat carefully, popcicles will stain." Trent: "Just use oxyclean, it gets out the tough stains."
Callie: "Can I have a granola bar?" Mom: "Yes, but I want you to eat the whole thing, not just the chocolate chips." Callie:"Even the paper?"
Mom: "Do you have your helmet?" Trent:"Yes, I was about to put it on until you interviened."
Trent:"Mom, what is the name of the President?" Mom:"George Bush." Trent:"That's a weird name." (He has no idea!)
Callie:"Mom, can you help me?" Mom:"Just a minute Callie, I can only do a couple things at a time." (A couple things! What ever happened to one thing at a time! Welcome to Motherhood!)
Mom: "Trent, Please wait." Trent: "O.K. Mom, I can wait for minutes!"
Callie: "Mom, can boogers talk?" (I am not making this stuff up!)
After scolding the kids, I realized I've started to say, "Do you hear me?" Callie: "Yes, I hear me." (When did I turn into "that" Mom?)
Callie:"What are we having for dinner?" Mom:"Chicken Pot Pie." Callie:"Are we having dessert?"
Trent:"Mom, can I have a quarter?" (Refering to "candy" dispenser in woman's bathroom) Mom:"That's not for candy." Trent:"What is it for?"
Mom:"I'm having pea soup." Callie:"You mean potty soup?"
Callie:"Dad, can I use some of your Man Lipstick?" (Chapstick)
