the little imp and his endearing ways

Well, I was going to post some pictures tonight, but realized it just shouldn’t be.  We have been working on invitations.  By we, I mean the bride…lol…but I was going to start helping her address them tonight but there isn’t any list in sight and she isn’t home.  I realized I had better not be showing what they look like anyway.  They are cute…she designed them herself.  And her little work table is cute, too.  We also have the table centerpieces kind of done (the practice ones) but I shouldn’t show those either.  The imp is not in the mood for a photo session altho I am on his good list right now because I bought him Bee Movie yesterday.  If you recall, in November we had our “date” at the movies when the rest of the family abandoned us to go to a conference.  (no, I’m not still feeling left out)

I forgot my knitting at work tonight, that was my plan for the evening, probably one of my last times to get to leisurely hang out knitting for a few weeks.

The imp and I are the only ones here tonight.  The hubby is doing the sermon at church this Sunday so is at his office studying.  Everyone else is off doing their own thing.  I was trying to watch a program earlier and when the program change came up, up pops this screen that says the vcr is set to start recording and it gives all these instructions.  We don’t even have a vcr hooked up to this tv.  Hubby was on the phone with me and was trying to explain what to do, but I didn’t get it…so he came home and got rid of all of that stuff.  The tv by then had changed to the imp’s chosen channel.  Let me tell you…this kiddo is driving us nuts in this department.  We had to upgrade ($1.20 a month or something like that) to the lowest level of digital tv so that we could have the tv guide channel a few months ago…and this kiddo has figured out how to order movies on pay-per-view in spite of all of the security we have put on there.  I don’t even have a clue how to get where he gets…and in his tinkering around to get around passwords, he adds passwords to other channels.  We have had to have the cable company clear our boxes more than once.  It is getting embarrassing.  Thankfully hubby knows them through his job.  We need to find out if they can offer any kind of solution to us…it is getting expensive and ridiculous.  We know we’re not your every day situation.  That little stinker is sooooo smart when it comes to electronics and while we always try to have the same expectation out of him that we would any child … we also realize it *isn’t* the same…BUT disobedience is disobedience.  ugh.

Hmmmm, I should try to think of something positive to end this on.  Hmmmmm.  

lol…. I’m still sitting here.  Well, let’s just say he makes me smile in many other ways and I’m sure as soon as this gets posted, I’ll think of a million of them.  I’ll just leave you with an old picture that always makes me laugh when I remember how he startled me the day I turned around and saw this.

    Hi! I just came over from a comment you left me and I had to tell you how HANDSOME your son is! I plan to read more so I can probably figure out the details on my own, but how old is he?
