The kid has a skit at school today and he had to wear something specific for the part. It was one of those times when I suddenly realized he’s not so little any more.
It’s odd that I see him growing every day, but sometimes it really hits home.

My baby is growing up…
Comments OffMany years ago when I started blogging the first time around, the kid was a wee thing and had his own site as well. We both ran on Movable Type, and I prided myself on his cool Yugio and later Harry Potter layouts. His site was more for the grandparents and such, updates about school and fun games he found, little kid stuff, but it was a great way of getting him to write.
He gave up on it about some time ago, about the same time that I shut down my first blog. I’ve tried to get him interested again, because he has a great way of looking at the world, and he comes out with some insane shit that needs to be shared. In the last year, he’s set up a twitter account and does use it occasionally. I don’t follow him on mine but I do check it to see what he’s up to on occasion. He’s also following suit of many kids from school and has a facebook account.
A few weeks ago he asked us if he still had a web space because he wanted to try the whole blog thing again. We got him set up with a clean WordPress install, and he picked out a free theme he liked and got everything sorted. Likewise, I’m not going to link it here just yet. I’m curious to see what he comes up with. The cool part is he’s learning about coding and design in his computer class at school and I think part of this new interest is giving him a place to show off the things he’s working on for classes. The best part, is that he’s always been a writer. His teachers love his short stories, and he is constantly coming up with ideas. I’m hoping this will encourage him to share his work.

Junk food goodness
Comments OffWe’ve been trying to cut back on buying prepackaged snack stuff again. I was sitting here watching bad 80s movies and had a flash of inspiration. Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies. My mom used to make these occasionally and I remember standing around in the kitchen waiting for them to cool off enough to eat.
I think we may have the snacks of awesomeness later today. The kid is on spring break this week, so he’s around all day. It might actually be fun to drag him into the kitchen to help with this.

Some little shit took the kid’s backpack from his locker while he was standing at it. He had hung it on the door to swap some stuff out and in the 15 seconds he turned away, someone walked off with it. Luckily the computer wasn’t in it, but the ipod and his fish hat were. Word is out at the school, so hopefully there will be some insane guilt involved, and I pray I don’t happen to see the kid with the hat on somewhere. The bag itself is semi unique in that it has the company logo of where my husband works plastered on the front of it. I hate stupid, and I hate fucking parents that don’t teach their kids to leave other people’s shit alone.

Can you tell? I’ve been fighting between keeping this thing semi anonymous as far as throwing actual names out there but I’m realizing that it really doesn’t matter at this point. I’m just going to keep at it the way I have been, and if some things happen, then they happen and I’ll deal with them later.
I will say that I love the guys over at WooThemes for their brilliant templates. There’s a lot to mess around with on the backend, but it’s getting to a point that I like the way it’s starting to look, and it definitely is faster than me trying to open a code window and blow things up on a regular basis. Everyone is happy this way, I don’t make my husband cry and I don’t pull my hair out and kick the kid.
The weather here is crap, so off to make tea and poke around in here some more. If you see something that doesn’t look to be working, let me know. (don’t mention the featured vid thing…I know :b)
