The Awesome part of my Awesome Life... GUS!

GUS!


since Gus pretty much rules my life, is the center of my life and he named my blog!.. although I am not sure he sees the preverse humour in the title, lol... I thought I should make my very first attempt at a blog about him! Gus is 8 and in grade 3. He is, hands down, the funniest person I have ever met! And I am lucky enough to be his mom! (And obviously, as you can see by his picture, he is one handsome little devil!)

I have some classic GUSisms from over the years that I would love to share...

"Mommy, Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition is something I should get" seriously, should that sentence begin with Mommy!?

About to watch Real Steal .. "Mom, prepare to have your eyes awesomated!"

"Do you know why whales are dangerous? Because you can get stuck in their bellies." Good to know where the danger lies.

"Mom, I saw my butt in the mirror... it IS cute! it looks a lot like my head"

On why he never fell off his new skateboard "it was probably my good looks... gravity didn't want to take me down"

"Mostly everything is made in China... So everyone has a little Chinese in them"

Gus slipped $1 of the $3 he got from the toothfairy under my pillow before I "woke up". He wanted me to wake up as happy as he was.

Gus has informed me his butt is classified... "so can everyone stop looking at it?"

Gus informed me that he is the only kid in his school with spider sense... well at least the only kid who knows how to use it.

And a classic one liner, we should all remember in times of trouble....
"Your so ugly, the only dates you get are on a calendar"
Gus had planned on using this on his bully at school, but the teacher had a talk with them that day and encouraged them to be friends... what the heck!? A great line now has to lay in waiting in his 8 year old mind!

My life is pretty awesome. I get to spend it with the most awesome kid around.

      Obviously... I heard those traits are handed down in exactly that manner!

    I totally agree I hear those traits are genetically programmed and passed from one generation to the next (may have missed my generation) I love the positiveness

Restaurants, Long Weekends and Resentment

Do you have a bathroom? After years of being in the restaurant business, I cannot express the happiness I feel at the prospect of having a long weekend off! Long weekends in a restaurant mean more work, longer hours and resentful thoughts to all those happy travellers who stop in and ask "do you have a bathroom?" To which you are always tempted to say, no, sorry we don't, there's a bucket out back you can use though. Do you have a bathroom? I am always shocked when I hear people ask this question, what the heck!? Of course, there is a bathroom! Whether you can use it or find it, now that is the real question. "Do you have a menu?" Nope, sorry we aren't that type of restaurant. "Is everything you have on the menu?" No we have a secret menu too, but we only show that to people we like. Last table in the restaurant... "Oh sorry, are we holding you up?"   Would you like something to drink... "No- I'll hav...

Well... I Guess That Was Summer

I guess that’s it. We can kiss summer goodbye. Kids are all back at school, nights are cool and it is time to get back to a regular routine. Although we cannot really call what we have experienced for the last two and a half months summer, I would call it a long spring with some (a total of eight, I think?) nice hot days and A LOT of rain. I think we all feel a little soggy and groggy after that many rainy days. I had one week off during the “summer,” the second last week of August. I was very lucky that my one and only beach day I had planned was on one of those nice eight days we were graced with, August 21st, the day of the eclipse. We lucked out too, as a party of three decided to park themselves beside us on Station Beach in Kincardine with eclipse glasses! So instead of burning our retinas out, as the three teenage boys that I had with me seemed intent on doing, we got to see the eclipse through a nice safe solar filter. All of our retinas are intact and working nicely (even th...

Ruffling my Feathers

  I received my first “call from the principal” last week. He informed me that Gus had been in a fight. I am pretty sure my “I don’t give a @#$*” attitude surrounding the call did not go unnoticed.   However, I know my kid and if he got in a fight, well 1 of two things happened 1) his little fiery Greek temper reared its ugly head (that’s hereditary – so to be fair how can you get mad at a kid for his heritage??) or 2) someone really pissed him off. It seems it was the latter. It all had to do with a ball. I would venture to guess that this is what most 10 year old boys fight over; ball possession.   Seems the “victim” of this fight stole a ball and wouldn’t give it back when asked politely and then not so politely with a shove as he walked away. As it were, it came to fisticuffs. Later, when having the “talk” about the altercation, Gus explained to me, that after the first push by him, the other boy pushed him to the ground and started wailing on ...
