the first week of 09

so far 09 is off to a fairly decent start.
things are picking up a lot a work, which makes the days go by quickly.
this weekend was a good one. we were able to see some friends, fit in some exercise, get some cleaning done and put together our plan for our music class.

we did have to make a pit stop to walmart yesterday. that is the only place that sells the filters for our brand of humidifier. sorry in advance if this offends anyone...but that place is a shithole. dan and i were immediately put in foul moods just by stepping foot in the store (actually, for me it started in the parking lot). it is dirty, poorly laid out, completely disorganized and it just gives you a nasty feeling. after spending about 10 minutes looking for something particular, i asked an employee and they just stared at me and said, "i don't think we have that". (a shower curtain liner? really?) anyway - besides that awful 30 minutes of our day, the weekend has been great.


so, we had taken griffin to music together music classes when he was a year old. we took about 5 sessions of this and griffin seemed to enjoy it...but it's gotten super expensive and didn't seem to be worth it anymore. i had some lame-o idea that we could recreate the music class at our own house. dan went along with my idea and we promptly put off doing anything about it. well - class starts on tuesday! and we actually have a bunch of friends and their kids coming over. this will be humorous.

we just burned our master "class" cd today. next we have to practice. we were dancing around the living room this morning (ummm..maybe it was just me), while griffin looked at me as if saying "who's mom are you? i'm not going to claim you, your embarrasing yourself".
usually singing to a captive audience is right up my alley, but it usually involves alcohol and the lyrics to alanis morrisette on the karoke screen. i'm not sure if my antics will hold a bunch of 2-3 year olds attention! if nothing else - it will be fun to have griffins buddies over (i imagine in 15 years the same buddies will come over and be like, "hey, remember when your mom showed all of us her awesome musical abilities? she is so cool, how do you even stand it? your so lucky g-dawg!" - or, you know...something like that)

I think it is more likely that G-dawg will be retelling this story to his therapist in 25 years wondering why he has so many mommy issues.
That being said, I can't wait for music class because Mallory needs to hear everyone else sing so she can compare my talents to others.
