Today was 8th Grade Day

It was not 2nd grade breakfast day.

And at 8th grade day, I got to go see a movie.

And while standing in the quiet 10:30am movie theater foyer talking with another mom and waiting for some 8th grader to buy something unnecessary, I heard this comment from a lone young man- who was not with our group and definately not an 8th grader.

"Woo Hoo, I'm not alone today."

And I thought,
"I am glad it is 8th grade day and my life is my life and that I don't normally go see movies in the morning and that I won't miss the 2nd grade breakfast because I mixed my days up and that I have friends to stand around and talk to while waiting for some 8th grader to buy something unnecessary and most importantly - I'm glad we brought that young man some joy."

Before we get into this, I want you to know something about little mr. j.  He is a go getter.  He makes things happen.

Last Saturday I cut my boys' hair.  (Even my mr.'s.) It's a selfish economic deal really.  I save money on their hair so I can spend it on mine. The clippers are easy and they usually come out looking pretty handsome. It works.
(Side note:  The clippers I bought this time have the coolest eyebrow attachment.  We're keeping very good care of my mr.'s old man bushy brows.)
It's a very fun time.  Lots of interesting conversation. And it all takes place in my bathroom. 
My bathroom, where earlier in the day a tweener son decided to go through some drawers that belong to me.  His mother. Who is female.
This is how the conversation went: my mr., "little mr. b, why don't you ask your mom what those things you found in her drawer are for?"
little mr. b (with- I can't believe you said that dad- eyes), "mom, …

We got spammed

Should I be so excited?
Probably not.

It was a really long comment that made no sense at all about NFL picks.
Too bad it was so silly,
We might have all learned something.

Anyway-
I deleted it & changed the comment process to add that step of typing in the extra words.
(Ok, really I should know what that's called, but I am too tired tonight and don't feel like educating myself.)

Again, anyway-
Last time I did something like this, we had problems in the comments. Some of you couldn't leave them.
And that was sad.  Not that many of you comment much-which is fine-but if you'd care to-I'd love to "listen" to them. I do love hearing from you.

So, I'm going to do a test comment and if you are so inclined, would you mind doing the same?
And I promise that this is not me trying to see who is reading BV. 
I promise I am not testing you by asking you to test.

I am thankful you are reading.

And hope you come back often.

PS-If you do have trouble leaving a c…
