Yesterday I showered, fixed my hair, put on makeup, and wore dressy clothes for no reason. All of that effort was As Good As It Gets.
Today I had a busy day and ended it with CanCan practice. On the way home Matchbox 20 came on the AFN (the ONLY radio station we get in English). It's the Armed Forces Network. I don't mean to sound so mean, but the military DJ's are HORRIBLE. Really bad. Painful to listen to bad. Anyway... since the boys weren't in the car with me, I was able to turn it up really loud and sing with my Rob Thomas. I adore Matchbox 20. Ya, he's a little fruity in his beliefs, but man I dig their music. Tonight I drove home with just me and the AFN. It was a nice quiet part of the day and it was As Good As It Gets. AND I bought a new pair of shoes, pants, and a shirt today. They fit. AHHHHHH
(ps - our CanCan is AWESOME. My kicks are getting higher and higher each practice. I bet in 9 more days I'll be fully back to my 18 year old self... Did I mention that we do the dance 4 times and have 4 different endings. The ending of dance #3 is taking a shot from the bartender. Yea, I'll be feeling 18...errr 21 by the 4th dance)
Tomorrow I get to go talk to Dr. Stapleford again about his bathroom policy. Cole had another accident at school. This is the second one this year and the kid has been potty trained since he was 2 1/2. He raised his hand and was told to wait till after instructions were given. It couldn't wait. He had to change clothes and his friends were laughing at him when he came out of the restroom. MY new rule is that if he can't get the teacher's attention, then he should get up right then and there and go to the bathroom. There's a bathroom IN the classroom. The poor kid freaked out saying that he would get in so much trouble. I told Cole that mommy's rules OVERRULE whatever Dr. Stapleford says and if he gets in trouble to say "please call my mommy right now." Yep, I'm pulling that card. Mama Bear is chargin' into the classroom tomorrow with furry in her eyes. It will be As Good As It Gets.

I would be angry too.
But the good news is that Cole is always going to be the cool kid in school, no matter what.
So pee your pants Colby, the girls are still gonna love you!
Aunt Kimi is about to hop on the next flight to tell that Dr. Stapleford what I think about him. I hate that that happened and that he was embarrassed and the kids were laughing...and now I hate Dr. Stapleford. Thank goodness there was a change of clothes. My poor Cole. I am fired up! Give it to him good, Mama Bear. I can't WAIT to hear tomorrow's As Good As It Gets!! Please remember to post right away.
And by the way, if video of the 4Can Can dances aren't posted the next day, I am going to be very very disappointed and will never ever believe that your high kicks got higher than your waist. Just sayin.
That makes me sooooo mad! Teachers are there to help instill confidence in our children. How can that happen when you don't let a rule abiding child go to the bathroom??? Tell Cole Aunt Hil says to go to the bathroom if he needs to go. There should never be a situation where he feels less likely to get in trouble for having an accident than for going to the bathroom without asking. I'd be ready to smack that teacher upside the head.
Erin is right -- the girls will love him anyway!
Jen that is horrible!!! Poor little Cole!!
