Code word: GALAXY

So the other night i wasn't feeling so well so I excused myself. I was gone for a while and when I came back John asked if I felt better. Long story short - H asked if I had "galaxy." Yea, I was just as confused.
"What?"
"Did you have galaxy?" very adamantly.
"H what do you mean did I have galaxy? John do you know what he's talking about?" He shakes his head.
"You know it's when you have pee poop." Trying not laugh.
Now for the weak at heart you may want to stop here.
He continues. "It's like you're peeing, but it's coming out of the place that you poop. You're poop is like pee - pee poop - galaxy." C looks on like "yea that's right"
"H that's called diarrhea."
"Oh."
Cut to 2 days later.
H stops playing. " I have to go to the bathroom."
"Do you have galaxy?"
both of us laugh.
So from now on when I used the word "galaxy" in public and it makes no sense at all, you will know what I mean.

So one of my friends asked why I haven't blogged in awhile. I don't really have an answer. I do know that with each successive child I have had I have become less and less social. It's not that I don't want to talk to my friends, but I as you know and I hope agree with me, it takes a lot of work to keep up with friends! And a lot of times I have very little to share that I think will be of interest to them. I don't want to be constantly talking to them about my kids bc I know that can be annoying, but my kids take up the majority of my time and energy. Which is another reason I probably don't blog often. I don't have the energy to think about what to write. BUT you're in luck! Here are the things that have been on my mind/going on these past few days.

1) I don't get why people "reply all" to some emails. Sure if "all" absolutely need to know your response then a reply all is okay. But say your rsvping for an event in which 50 people were invited. I don't need to know if you're coming. I once got emails bt a husband and wife who were discussing which way something would be better. No kidding 4 emails from each spouse each email less than 2 sentences. I have learned to just delete all re: emails except for the first and last ones.

2) One of my friends and I took swimming lessons last week. My parents never took me for lessons so I never learned to float, tread water, or doggie paddle. And for some reason as I got older I became more and more afraid of the water. My friend was the same way. We decided to take the class figuring it couldn't do us any harm. Well I learned how to breathe and how to tread water in a matter of 4 days. I won't be setting any records any time soon, but I'm hoping I can survive if thrown overboard. It has been particularly interesting watching the Olympics and relating what the coach taught us to what I see in the games.

3)I didn't catch anyof the opening cermonies of the Olympics. My co teacher did and said it made him proud to be Asian. I'm hoping he didn't mean that he wasn't proud before. Also later the news was showing a group of Asian people watching the China vs US basketball team. They interviewed a woman who definitly wasn't ABC to see who she was rooting for. Her reply was very "asian" if you know what I mean. John laughed and told me to tape that then show my co teacher if that made him proud to be asian.

that's all for now. I have to pick up my kids....
