So (a needle pulling thread…. la!)
Yesterday I did it. I finally bit the bullet, screwed up the courage, took charge of destiny, so on, so forth… and made the call.
That’s right – the call.
I called the High School where the boy will begin attending in just 3 short weeks. (YAY! BACK TO SCHOOL!) (holy crap – HIGH SCHOOL!)(GAH! only three weeks to get ready!) (BACK TO SCHOOL!) To the great amusement of the secretary, we had the following conversation:
So. Um, yeah. I’m a nervous first time freshman mom…
….do you have the right number? (She was totally thinking “Prehaps you meant planned parenthood..”)
oh! no! I mean my SON is gonna be a freshman and I’m his mom…
(laughter) Oh! Ok, yes. Can I help you?
After that point, she oh so nicely assured me that his classes will be set for him and he can get a schedule when he attends the Freshman (OMFG. FRESHMAN. in HIGH SCHOOL!) orientation the night before school starts and even told me when the first bell rings and yes. So. nervous first time freshman mom is nervously awaiting orientation. Which I can’t attend because it’s for the KIDS ONLY. and getting info outa him, being all teenager-y and stuff will be like this:
So, how’d it go?
Fine.
Got everything you need – schedules and locker and stuff?
I guess.
You ready for tomorrow?
Whatever.
Oh. This is gonna be So! Much! Fun!
(…kill me now. heh.)
Then someone asked me if we had had The Talk yet in preparation for this whole HS experience. My Reply? “You mean the one that starts ‘I’LL F’IN KILL YOU if you even THINK of making me a gramma before I’m EIGHTY-TWO 50′ – then yes.”
Heh.
(I’m so doomed.)

In other news – I stayed up all night reading Book 9, Phantom, in the Sword of Truth Series by Terry Goodkind that arrived in the mail yesterday. I finally collapsed bout 3/4 the way through around 7am. I finished it about an hour ago. (these are not LITTLE books) And all I gotta say is….
AUGH! WHAT DO YOU MEAN the next (and FINAL! SOB!) one is not coming out till 2008?!?!? I MUST know what HAPPENS!
PS. Terry Goodkind? Please be aware that if I do not get my fairy tale happy ever after ending after TEN YEARS of waiting and hoping and praying and RIPPING MY HEART OUT for the plyght of Richard and Kahlan? THERE WILL BE HELL TO PAY!
Ahem. as Catie would say – it was *very* “heart stabbity”
(He SAW HER! and she SAW HIM! there was a MOMENT, PEOPLE! A Shared MOMENT! but she doesn’t REMEMBER anything! But she WANTS TOO and he was so HAPPY for just a GLIMPSE And they are both CAPTIVES of the EVIL MAN! OMG! AUGH!) *stabbity STAB!!*
HELL to PAY. Seriously.

Reevaluating my life. I now suddenly hate my job – in 2 months I went from thinking I had the best job in the world to hating to go to work. Other than that life is grand.
