Stiletto

Just a mom raising The Boy (adopted from Guatemala) along with my fabulous husband (MFH). I am a shoe whore, especially of the high heeled variety. Hence, the nickname.

She's alive!

Not much has changed, though.

I am still trying to get the old business caught up. I am doing this so I can have the same New Year's Resolution as last year, cause I sure don't have time to come up with a new one - which was to have only one job.

HA!

I am doing it at my own pace, though. I work when I want to, and am enjoying my family and the holidays as much as I can the rest of the time.

The Boy is doing well in school, although he still gets plenty of warnings and still spends time in The Thinking Chair - but not on a daily basis. His teacher says he has a lot of "good qualities" but I'm not sure if she's trying to convince me or her. Hey! I think he's awesome, and if you have to search that hard for something good to say? Maybe it's time you retire. She is not old, just geriatric and that's worse. He needs a young teacher with as much spirit as he has.

He has taken off in hockey. He scored two goals in last week's game - I couldn't be more proud of this kid.

The other night I found him in the laundry room/cat room, sitting on the washing machine. I asked what he was doing. He sprayed air freshener in the room, which was obvious from the fog. I asked why.

"Cause I can smell that cat shit clear in my room!" he exclaimed.

Yeah, I couldn't be more proud of my kid!
