Changing the Oil

Today was up with the boys early, as usual. Then actually did a few things around the house (I said a few). My friend Denise called and as we were discussing our new job, we both got emails from our new employer regarding our offer letters. So, it's official, I have a job! Later I went and picked up Andrew and we were off to an appointment we had for him to be evaluated by a phsyciatrist for depression. His therapist requested he be evaluated to be able to rule it out, or get him medication if necessary. The doctor we saw today said she felt he did not need medication. Basically, he's just a normal, crabby, pain in the butt teenager. :) So that was good news. Ryan was screened for gifted today in school. I'm expecting a call from the woman who did the screening to let me know how he did. He said he got to certain questions that the teacher said, "Oh I remember this question, I haven't seen it in awhile." He said, "That means I got to questions other kids didn't even get to!" So I'm anxious to see how he did. Tonight, Roger came home and we had dinner together. Andrew talked with Grandma Wendy for a bit and caught her up on his good report card and such. Then Aaron came over, so Rogie could help him change the oil in his car, Niko. Yes, Aaron's car has a name, Niko. Side note, we decided to name my car Elliot after Sara Chalke's character on Scrubs. My father used to name his cars when Todd and I were kids (and typewriters, too). So, I thought it was cool that Aaron and his friends have all named their cars. I've wanted to name mine for some time, but I just couldn't find a name that fit her. But, Elliot just popped into my head and it seemed to fit. Aaron and Rogie thought so, too. I like it b/c on the show the character is a girl with a boy name. I think that fits my little car, I refer to her as a "she", but the boy name works for her. Anywho, I digress, the guys got the oil changed and Aaron helped Rogie bring the desk and stand up into the apartment. Now Rogie can put them together for me. :) Aaron visited with me for a bit. He's doing well in school and just purchased a MacBook for school use. He then headed home and we proceeded to commence with the bedtime rituals. :) Now, the boys are in bed and Rogie and I are going to do something wild and crazy with each other.........Ben & Jerry's Chocolate Fudge Brownie and two spoons! Yea Baby! You can't maintain this figure w/o icecream!
