I'm starting to worry...

I'm starting to worry about GB's teenage years. Yes, you read that right. I'm worried about my three year old's teenage years! My hubby's 13 year old niece stayed with us over the weekend. She came to go to a hockey game with us and stayed to go to a football game with her parents. She got a cell phone for her birthday. She was texting her friends the entire time she was here! If that's not enough to make make me worry, the background on her cell phone? A shirtless hockey player. Yep, totally hot, but not what I expected to be on her cell phone. She is obsessed with the hockey players, as I am , but I'm an adult... (It doesn't make the hubby real happy though.) To make things even worse, she told me that her friend has a boyfriend! She is entirely too young for this! Her friend's boyfriend is in highschool, they are in seventh grade... SEVENTH GRADE! This is totally insane to me. I think I'll be institutionalized in 10 years!

The on again, off again relationship.

No, it's not the hubby and I. My four year old BB has an on again, off again relationship with his pre-school girlfriend. I think I have a little heart breaker on my hands! His girlfriend, we'll call her "C", told him earlier this week that she didn't like him anymore because he likes another girl "B". BB came home from school very upset about that because he and C had been friends for over a year. Not just friends, but wouldn't play with anybody else in class friends. Over the past few weeks, C would play with other kids and do things that BB doesn't like to do, so he decided to play with different kids doing what he likes. So one day, she accused him of liking B. Then told him that she doesn't like him anymore.

Being the good mom that I am, I chuckled to myself. Then we talked about it and BB decided that he would ask C why she said that. The next time he saw C, he asked her and told her that it hurt his feelings. She said that she was just joking and she still likes him. The hubby said that "women are mean and play with men's hearts at all ages." He got the stink eye from me because, of course, I wouldn't "play with men's hearts." Anyway, the kids are tight again.

BB also has a birthday party to go to on Saturday. The birthday girl is not somebody that he plays with in school, but he really wanted to go... I asked him what birthday girl likes. He said, "I don't know." I asked him what she plays with at school. He said, "I don't know." Yeah, that was super helpful! I told him to ask her what she wanted for her birthday (fully expecting that he wouldn't because he's really shy). He shocked me yesterday when he came home from school. He told me he did ask her what she wants. I get all excited, now I don't have to figure something out for the girl I don't know. You know what he tells me? "She said something, but I don't know what it is"

Me: What is it?
BB: I don't know.
Me: Well, what did she say?
BB: I don't know. She said something, but I don't remember what it was.
Me: Thanks BB. That was helpful.

The only thing that helps me out now is that when I talked to her mom to RSVP, she told me that she likes barbies and other girly things that I don't remember (see where BB gets it?!?). So, we will go to the store and buy a barbie and give her a gift receipt and hope she likes it.

Halloween is fun for me too!

We had a football player and Tinkerbell going trick or treating this Halloween. The bears went with the hubby and made it all the way around the block! They never make it all the way around on a normal walk so I was surprised that they could make it while they had to walk up and down steps at a lot of houses too. Well, I'll take that back BB made it all the way around. GB made it about 3/4 of the way before she fell and hurt herself. Then she resigned herself to the stroller. I stayed home because somebody had to hand out candy to the other trick or treaters (definitely not because I'm lazy ;)). So the bears got tons of candy. So, that's where it's fun for me... they aren't old enough yet to realize that I'm eating their candy. And I eat their candy. Lots and lots of candy. I should really go to the gym to get in "square" daily now, but that's not happening (still not cause I'm lazy ;)). I'm lucky if I make it one a week! Hopefully I'll make it tomorrow along with voting...

I still think that I know who I'm voting for, but I still go back and forth. I guess I'll have to see where my debate is when I make it into the booth. I wish that there was a Ben & Jerry's around so that I could get free ice cream after I vote. Like I need that with all the candy in this house! So, if you don't hear from me soon, it's because I ate too much Halloween candy and exploded. But don't worry, I will make sure that I vote first :)
