Embarrassment

I got my first, "Mom, don't embarrass me" tonight. We were in Target and there was an adorable girls jacket with flowers on it. I held it up to Austin (as if, to see if it fit him) and said "Do you want me to buy this for you". His face got a little pink, and he responded, "NO! don't embarrass me."

One of the waves took Austin by suprise. (Sorry, I don't know how to rotate the pics on the blog)

Austin was a good sport and posed nicely for me, huh?

Misc.

1. Mom's knees- My mother's knees have been bad for quite some time now. In her right knee there is basically no cartiledge left. So, she has to have them replaced. For now, she is only having the right one done. On Aug. 4 she goes under the knife. I told her she should have it when I am home for the summer so I could help her, but it is scheduled for the day after I go back to work. Oh well. Keep her in your prayers.

2. Anyone who knows Austin, knows what kind of meltdown is coming when he is interrupted. The other day we were over at mom's. I was talking and Austin interrupted. We tried to prompt him several times by saying that I was already talking, but he kept going on. Mom finally said, "Austin, you know how much you hate it when people interrupt you!" Austin said, "yeah," sighing then "but she wasn't saying anything important. What a little booger.

Late night phone call

Last week I got a phone call at 12:30 in the morning. I got up to see who it was from and noticed it came from my mother's house. I quickly became concerned as they are normally in bed very early. I called back and got a busy signal. I tried calling for about a half hour and then became very worried, thinking one of them had a heart attack or passed out while on the phone. So, I get Austin up and try to dress him. I swear nothing wakes him up. I had to carry him out to the car and drive over to mom and dad's house. There are no lights on inside which actually eases my mind because if either of them had been up, there would have been at least one light on inside. Anyway the bottom lock was locked so I would have had to ring the doorbell. I decided against it and went home. The next day mom told me she had called to try to find the cell phone (because I couldn't find it the night before and thought I had left it at their house). Anyway, she must have accidentally left the phone off the hook. Also, Austin argued that he was never over at their house the night before. He is such a sound sleeper. Good news at the end, nothing bad happened, except carrying Austin hurt my back.

Facebook

Ok, I must admit that I go to Facebook about every day and every day I wonder why I do. The only people who post are people who I care little about. And, I have requested to be friends with a number of people who are not showing up on my friends list. This means one of two things - either they hit ignore or they have not been on to check their friend requests.

My sister's keeper

I finished reading the book, knowing that it would make me cry, but I cried for almost 15 minutes straight. I'm glad Austin was already asleep.

Baseball game

The weather was beautiful for Austin's game last night. There was a gentle breeze and when standing in the shade, it felt cool out. Austin did extremely well last night. He fielded all of the balls that came to him and paid attention (even without his meds). One poor little boy got hit in the chest with a ball while playing first base. You could hear the thud as the ball hit him from the stands. So his parents went out and collected him from the field. Seconds later, I saw another parent carrying another boy off of the field crying. We later found out that it was the boy who threw the ball. He was so upset that he had hurt the other boy that he just broke down crying. It was very sad and sweet at the same time. I wonder when boys lose this.
