Bubble gum, bubble gum in a dish...

1 super sized pack of gum received for 5th birthday.
2 times JG choked on gum whilst running amok. Guess he didn't learn the lesson the first time.
3 pieces of gum found stuck to the island in the kitchen. Yuck.
4 pieces of gum fed to the dog. Mimi hacked up two pieces, tinfoil and all.
5 minutes. Average duration each piece of gum was chewed by 5 year old.

Zero pieces of Juicy Fruit left on morning after birthday.

Very nicely done, Mom. May I gently suggest that you don't allow gum-chewing in the car? I won't get into the ugly details, but trust me on this one.

Hee Hee, always so entertaining for me! All of your kids (all blog friends included) are so funny. I don't remember being this funny as a child!

You weren't. You were a big brat. You told me so yourself. :-)

I will take your advice re: the car. I can only imagine. You will have to tell me the ugly, sticky details someday.

Stromer, you were a brat?

If I was a brat, no body knew it. I was also sneaky!:)

A sneaky brat. Well, that says it all!

Let's just say that it involved multiple pieces of gum and someone else's upholstery...and that it never, ever came completely out.

Gainfully employed

I heard back last night from Cargill , I start back into the world of the gainfully employed as an independent contractor on October 8 th . My old client, who will now be my new client, Jeff wrote: I'm thrilled we get to work together again. This is the most important project our business unit has taken on in a lot of years so I feel a lot better knowing you're going to be part of it. OK now I'm nervous. Eeek - the most important project? Whoa, better bring the A game, but you know I am excited - scared - but am ready to go. I have so much to do before the 8 th , gotta get the list together to make the most of my kid free week (now that litte man is at daycare in the a.m.).

Z is like for Zodiac

Shelly and I went to the movie Zodiac last night. The theater was nearly packed with mostly men and couples, so it was a bit obvious when two teenage girls talking on cell phones walked into the movie 20 minutes late. Shelly turned to me, "Why would you even come to a movie like this if you are 20 minutes late?" I agreed especially since they had already missed the first victims meeting their demise and the opening which told the viewer this was a true story. You just had to know they were going to be lost the rest of the movie, plus the only reason they were probably there was to see Jake Gyllenhaal .
