I have spent the last month freaking driving my kids all over the place and trying to remember pre calculus from like 20 years ago for my favorite students who keep talking me into teaching their upper level classes. The students seem to think that I am also going to teach their discrete math class next year. I just might be stupid enough to ask for it at work for them.
My oldest is on the high school swim team which over the holiday break has meant 2 to 3 practices a day which means me driving back and forth all day picking and dropping him off. Plus, his younger brother to a once a day swim practice. ALSO the usual other things that they are into like music lessons for their sax and guitar that both boys love. AND don't forget the usual holiday BS like baking cookies and big meals.
I totally understand why there are very few bloggers with teenage kids. The oldest will be driving in another year and a half. I plan to try to find a driving school for him to start on the very first day that he turns 16!!!
THEN THE JOKER POSTS A DORA THE EXPLORER CLIP ON MY LAME BLOG!!! Very funny!!!
....I saw avatar. IT SUCKED!!! Absolutely no plot. You totally know exactly how the movie will be ending - no surprises. It is kinda dances with wolves in 3d disney techno color.
...the ending of Dexter for the season flipping rocked!! I will not give it away. It took me a few days to decide it was a good way to end the season. Very unpredictable ending.
And the big plus side!!!! The oldest is going away for a week to Orlando with his high school band. I am probably more excited by his trip than him. Very fun! Anyone else want my kids for a week or two???
Otin strongly encouraged an update from me. :-) I hope you enjoyed my boring over scheduled life update.

Being a dedicated parent is a lot of work!
a semi annual update is nice!
lol. glad to know you are still alive...kids will keep you busy...enjoy the break while they are in orlando.
hope you had a great holiday ace!
Damn kids... don't they know this is vacation. The last thing you want to be doing is driving them back and forth to school! Glad to hear you're still up and running, though. I've been missing you! (Can't you send them both to Orlando? Maybe the younger one could be a band mascot.)
Cat Lady ... good idea!! I will pack the younger one in a suitcase.
You are dearly missed!!
That Dora thing was funny! I didn't realize it wasn't you who posted it. hahaha
I know a few folks who have seen Avatar. A few of them said it was "pretty good" and the others raved!

Thank God it wasn't you and Dora- I was going to organize an Intervention, and rescue you from whatever cult got their mitts on you! HeeHeeHee...
If the children are getting in the way of blogging, they have to go. Send them to Paraguay for an eduction.
I'd offer, but I have two kids of my own who require my full attention and supervision, lest the 2.5 year old destroy the 5-m.o.

Great to see you. That Otin! He can sure light a fire under your butt! LOL
Whew! You do have alot going on.
We are going to the movies this afternoon with some neighbors. The "Dads" are going to see Avatar. The "Moms & Kids" are going to see Alvin and the Chimpmunks. So I am glad to hear you thought Avatar sucked! It makes me feel better :-)
I'm stopping by to wish you an awesome New Year. May 2010 be filled with love, health and prosperity.
It has been very nice getting to know through your blog. You have this way of saying things that with your posts and your comments you always inspire and cheer me up and I thank you for that.
Happy New Year my friend!
I have been gone for a while too and no one gave a shit!!!! Love the post and right there with you on Dexter. Didn't even get out of bed to go see Avatar I could tell it was gonna suck from the first nano second of the commercial. I'm following you now so you better keep at it or I will be with Otin and hound you for posts!!
I haven't been blogging much so I haven't been visiting 'round much, either.
I too saw Avatar and it was exactly like Dances with Wolves in the 23rd century.
Hope to see you by sometime.
Aw, you'll miss your big guy, you know it - or maybe not.
Haven't seen Avatar yet. Not in too much of a hurry, either. Haven't heard anything good about it.
I can't imagine how terrifying it will be when my daughter is driving. The wife driving is terrifying enough!
I sure hope you get to blog again someday...
avatar looks like it would suck... glad to hear i didn't miss anything.
Miss you- You're turning into a douche, I mean a deuce.... :)
Haven't been around for a couple of weeks myself, but not because of parental duties, thank the Lord!
Glad to see you're still around, albeit not often.
You sure were fun..what happened? E-mail me...
Oi you, everything alright?!
I hear you about the teenagers, my younger kids keep me hopping enough. I've been a bit slow lately too.
Well, it's been months since you've been gone. Maybe someday you'll come back?
Hope all is well with you and the kids!
Merry Christmas, happy new year!!
Hope your absence is not down to you being buried in discrete maths books trying to stay a step ahead of the kids!
Where, oh where are you? You are missed!! :)
