See these shoes? They look innocent enough, don’t they? But no. These shoes represent a major shift. A transition. An undeniable change. Can you guess why? Because now officially my 10-year-old son is wearing MEN’S shoes. I can no longer get away with a forgiving size 6.5 youth. Nope. These are a full-fledged size 7 men’s.
So, what’s the big deal? The big deal is that not only does my son no longer wear kid’s shoes but we no longer pay kid’s shoe prices either. Plus, I used to be able to get away with cheaper shoes but since my son developed Achilles Tendinitis caused in part by worn out shoes we are forced to invest in higher quality runners. This pair? On sale for $79.99! That’s one thing for a real adult whose feet have stopped growing but this kid goes through shoes every few months. I cringe just thinking about it. I guess we’ll save on physio-therapy bills anyway…hopefully.
Not only is my baby growing up, which I’m finding out comes with its own heart-wrenching moments, but he’s costing me a fortune!
perhaps you have heard of the brand new Kinect? Its truly awesome! I never had a great deal of fun playing video games before, eventhough I would call myself some sort of hardcore player this usually plays adventures like Call of Duty and so on. The Kinect is probably so different than anything I have ever before played before. your motion controles do the job really well, and not only this, but not required to use a controller to experiment with is the personification involving freedom! No bothersome button smashing any more, a single word is enough! You should think about getting the Kinect!.
I just read a few other posts on here. Glad I checked it out once more. Much appreciated
This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like ‘Mixview’ that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you’re listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of “neighbors” will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune “Social” is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.
Between me and my husband we’ve owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I’ve settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.
Exactly where may I get a hold of this program?
Ahhh the two of my young daughters just love justin bieber, I cannot figure it but he appears to be all the rage.
Greetings I’m interested in specifics of practice tai chi but I actually don’t have a clue… I want to have more muscle and flexivility. Have some opinion?? Thanks!!
Hi Lu. So fare i can see, Boyles has answered your question. I don’t see any sense.
Hi Jerald. So fare i can see, Roelle has answered your question. I don’t see any sense.
Nowhere within your rambling, incoherent submit was there any sign of intelligence. I give you no points and may well God have mercy in your soul.
Oralia are you serious? Or maybe i misunderstood something?
Lucile, thank you for the detailed and well thought out response! That is exactly the sort of conversation I want to see grow out of CV!
Hy…state I didn’t had a nice read from a extended time.Really happy i found it on google.I was speaking with my colleagues yesterday around this matter and I have to state you make things very clear for me.Thanks and good luck
Hy…first of all I didn’t had a great read from a long time.Truly happy i found it on google.I was talking with my friends three days ago about this matter and I have to say you clear out a lot of things.Thanks and good luck
Okay well maybe I exaggerated a bit. He did leave the bones and cartilage.
I am with you! Now I know why my older sister who has a house of teens used to love seeing the pile of little shoes by my front door. They looked so cute! Now I am seeing the need for a larger foyer!!!
In this all male household I have become very territorial about my food. It seems that everyone else finshes theirs before I’ve even started and is staring at my plate longingly or asking me if I’m going to finish it all. I’ve started hiding my treats and eating them in secret. As for milk – a cow (or two!) would definitely work, as we get through 1.5 litres of milk/day – and they’re only 7 and 10!
With kids, it’s the unexpected milestones that catch you off guard. I remember finding it remarkable when my son’s shoes (at nine!!) were the same size as mine. In fact, he took an old pair of my running shoes in for his “indoor shoes” last winter (shhh…don’t tell his friends)
OMG! Too funny! I’m prepping myself NOW for this stage. We have 2 boys and a third on the way. I always “joke” that we need a cow in our backyard. I think perhaps we’ll need 2 cows and a bunch of chickens 🙂
We have a 14 year old nephew and he eats continuously – it’s a good eye-opener for us!
The shoes freak me out already – cuz they’re not that much smaller than what I wear NOW!
Good post.
that is one reason i’m glad i have girls….although i’ll “pay” for it later when they become teenagers! 🙂
OMG, Anne! I totally laughed out loud! An entire chicken?! Hilarious!
Hmmmmm… I believe I warned you about the shoes a while back! LOL
So I’ll warn you about the next step. My son came home from life guarding class and ate an ENTIRE roasted chicken in one sitting. Oh! And those bags of milk are now single serving bags.
He is the tallest person in the house now.
Between the food bills and the shoe bills, growing boys sure are expensive, aren’t they?
