TGIF!!!! Just dropped the Pea off at school, came home and mowed my lawn (which if I had waited another day to do would have gotten me lynched by my neighbors), and my next task (which you can tell I am just jumping right into while I sit at the computer) is getting my house clean before my mom gets here. Mom is down in NC for a few weeks and is staying with me this and next weekend. I am very excited about the lunch and pedis we have planned for today and hoping the weather will be nice over the weekend so we can go exploring and have some fun.

When I dropped the Pea at school there was a daddy there, apparently it is career week in the pre-school world. The daddy at Pea's daycare was a police officer and was all decked out in his uniform talking to the kids about safety. The kids were enamored. Now to anyone else this would not be funny, but it cracked me up for two reasons...one, he looked just like the cop in The Hangover "In the face! In the face!" which of course made me think of the movie, and the stun gun scene, and cracked me up and two, it made me remember that earlier in the week I got a chance to see and talk to Dude as he was on his way to his baby girls pre-school to talk to the kids. Well, Dude is a military pilot, which gotta admit is like one of the coolest jobs on the planet, and he was going all decked out in his flight suit and bringing his helmet, and survival equipment...not only do the ladies like a man in uniform, but kids think it is AWESOME and go ape shit. Dude and I got to talking about the whole daddy career day thing, and how cool it is to have a dad with a cool job, and then, of course, we got on topic of dads with not so cool jobs and how their presentations must go (Hi kids, I'm Bob, I'm an accountant...can anyone tell me what a spread sheet is? look auto sum! ooooh, ahhhh) and the thought crossed my mind that if I ever get remarried and have another kid, it will have to be to a guy with a cool job. I don't know why I had that thought, and I don't know what exactly can be considered cool, but I had the thought, which then made me think of the scene in The Breakup "that's what we "in the biz" call..." and then I immediately thought of my profile on Match and now I am gonna have to change it: "sorry, no accountants, please."

This entire thought process took place in the time it took for me to give the Pea a hug and walk out of the building and by the time I got in my car I was laughing out loud. Does anyone else out there have these kinds of random thoughts that lead to other random thoughts that end up so ridiculous you wonder "where the hell did I come up with that, and why?" or is it just me...

Mom...very cool job...which reminds me, mine is on her way and my house is still trashed...signing off, have a great weekend all!
