Yesterday was the last Holiday or family get together at my moms old house (the last house I loved in w/ her and my brother). But while I was there I noticed why she was moving. Keegan's obsession this week is skate boarding (Santa got him one for Christmas). Bryan took him up to K-mart after we got to my moms and got him a helmet and took him to the skate park. He was going down ramps and all, so when they got home he begged to show off in front of grandmas. I took him out side and I watched him for about 15 min and in that time was all I need to see why she hates it there. First it was 2 cars full of Teenagers Blaring their radio and speeding down the road toward Keegan and I as soon as they saw us pick up the board to get out of the road they sped up.. I was so ticked. I like loud music myself but apparently I am getting old and there is a time and place for it not down a residential street during Easter. Trying to scare my kid or me by speeding up just made me want to scream at them. So back in the road we go for Keegan to show off more of his moves and down the road come a whole bunch of kids around Keegan and Shane's age. Well maybe this was all me but I still feel as though that is my home and that is the street I lived on... I was the kids of the neighborhood, So this all could have been my own insecurities but as the kids got closer they were starring at us. I thought at first they might ask Keegan to play (then what was I gonna do let him or not) but then they just had this disgusted look on their faces and eyeballing ME.. I am a freaking adult.. children should not Look at adults in that tone.. they looked as if they wanted to know who the heck we were and that they owned the street or something. OMG. I have heard my mom say thing about how rude and noisy her corner (she lives on a corner lot) is but I never experienced it for myself. So I am very happy she is getting away from Richmond.. I don't think I will miss it at all.
Sunday I am teaching Sunday School on my own, Pam and Stephanie are going to be away on Vacation and figured I would be fine OMG.. NO... if all of them show up there are 25 kids there.. I am not a teacher and they are kindergartners. I know they smell fear! So it is a week away and I am so nervous.
Shane has a new talent since I have last bragged about my kids. We have a keyboard that plays various songs including Beethoven and Mozart stuff. Well Shane plays w/ the keyboard all the time. Well one day two weeks ago he was playing Fur Elise... I was washing dishes So I was not paying much attention other than I knew that was the song he was listening to and I enjoys hearing that song so I was tuned in. The very beginning was playing then a wrong note hit and repeated at that point I knew Shane was playing it .. I ran back there to see it for my own eyes and yeah he had figured it out, by himself, the beginning of Fur Elise! He was listening to the song.. turning it to piano play and then figuring it out... By the end of the day he had figured out a few rock songs he hears on Guitar Hero.. sweet child of mine and one by Metallica. I am stunned at his music abilities and so proud!!! More importantly he is of himself and I love seeing that.
That is about it here for this week.. Shane has a hearing test today and I have lots of cleaning to do.
