I don't know about this random weirdness

First of all, rainy days and Mondays...well we know. Instead of swimming around town, I made a visit to the grocery store and was greeted by a woman I have seen shopping for years. She noticed my childless state and got misty thinking about the fact that the boy is now in Kindergarten. You just have to love a neighborhood grocery store, although my friends still make fun of the fact that everybody knows me on a first name basis. Hey...it has gotten me free lunch meat...haters gonna hate. I swam home and dove right into laundry. The litter box smell of wet soccer clothes had finally become an issue when the basement door would open and the stench would cruelly waft up the steps. Oh and, no, my friends at Kroger did not judge me openly when I bought every kind of foot powder and shoe spray to rid those nasty cleats of their odiferous issues. And I bought a lot. If you pass our house and see the garage door open with a big fog coming out, don't mind me...Dr. Scholl's aerosol and I are having a little meeting. Now you might think to yourself, "How could her day get anymore exciting?". Well, it can. In the course of just 10 minutes, I was told that one daughter failed her hearing test at school and the other decided she wanted to be a vegetarian. Let's break these two things down. We have been struggling with some learning issues with G and, with the news of a possible hearing concern, wonder if this is the key that opens up the door of understanding and resolution for her. We must seem to be weird, twisted people to be somewhat interested by a hearing issue. It may be a complete fluke with the technology used to perform the test, but if not it may give us some answers.

Now to the vegetarian kid. Believe me, the thought has crossed my mind to take my eating habits in that direction. After the pork butt I crock potted and shredded last week, I just about turned right then. Brrrr. Gives me yucky chills to think about it. The vegetarian idea did not come from health concerns or a real understanding of the beef or meat industry. It came from happening upon the PETA website at school. Apparently, they are having a promotion of going vegetarian for a week and getting a prize. After I explained that was a big choice and she asked for eggs for breakfast, I had to explain vegan, pescatarian, ovo-lacto...it got involved. Listen if she wants to do it, more power to her. It would be good for all of us. But the spaghetti and meat sauce she had two servings of for dinner is gone, baby, gone. Veggie crumbles instead.

We'll see. It is never dull around here, that's for sure.
