But, it's put me in a really good mood this weekend, and that's always fun!
So. Anyway. I have a baby. He's is so good, and unbelievably adorable. I'm going to have a difficult time giving him up in 22 days. He's so snugly, and laughs at EVERYTHING. I'm loving it. I'm not sure how much I'll love it when I'm watching my other 3 babies all week (and the puppy), but yeah. I sorta think all the puking will get old fast as well.

It was Day 2 of Toddler Mania at my house today. I'm watching Korah who is 9 months, Kyle who is 2.5, and Ian who's going to be 3 on Saturday.
Ian alone = Difficult. Kyle alone = Cake. Ian + Kyle = .. well I don't know what it equals, but Kyle turns into a whiney provoker, and Ian listens like an angel. But it's fun. The boys have someone to play with (besides me!). I have to interrupt 800 million fights a day though. And Korah, who thinks she can hang it with the big boys, sometimes gets crushed. Mostly she just waits around for them to get busy with something, so she can sneak in and steal their sippy cups. Interesting fact: 3 carseats don't fit in the back seat of an Impala. At least not very well. They've picked up the drill fairly fast though. Even Korah has. I load them in one at a time from one side to the other, and then I say "Hands Up!" (so they don't get pinched - crutial oversight on my part during the initial test run), and slam the door. I have to slam it hard too. And when I do, all the seats smash together. They'd probably fly outta their seats, if they weren't buckled in? They think it's hilarious. The boys giggle, and then Korah laughs because they are. Kyle and I taught Ian the Barrel Game yesterday. I thought it was crazy with 2 kids. 3 is just a mad house. Very fun though. Korah gets so excited and is almost just as fast as the boys at racing back to get back on. That girl is gonna be so tough. Would you go back and turn that light out please?
I guess. Won't you go over there to turn the ac down later? Yeah, but I can't go back by the door. Why? You scared monsters are gonna come in and grab you? Not so much monsters as it is what could be out there looking in the window. Like what? Wait, don't answer that. I don't want you to have to dwell on it. I'd love to be normal for a day. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Kyle watched Fear Factor with me today. Every time they got shocked by an eel and jerked their hands back really fast he'd totally crack up. It was hilarious. Then they did a stunt where they had to try to stay on a barrel that was swinging underneath a helicopter. He laughed hysterically when they hit the water. Then I had to be the barrel. I laid on my side on the floor and he sat on me and I'd have to wiggle till I grabbed him and threw him off and yelled "SPLASH!!". Fun times. Then Korah wanted in on it, so I'd put her up there and do it to her. Then they both got on at the same time. Then when he'd hit the water he started "stepping on the snakes" and would yell "OW!" and pull his limbs back and hurry to get back on me. So then Korah started following my "SPLASH!!" with "OW!" and seriously, I love my job. Before we could go to the banks and stuff, we had to get a tire fixed. We left Kyle with my brother et al, and just dragged Korah around with us. She's so silly. If you have to pass the time at a tire place, I suggest you borrow her because the time goes really fast while you're pretending to eat her toes, perfecting the art of "peek-a-boo", and making fun of Z who forgot that the tshirt he put on has an enormous hole in the armpit. Like there is no armpit. So yeah. It was also mildly amusing to watch him put together a paper Herbie from a punch out kit on the kids' table. I was going to steal some extras to send to you guys, but it didn't happen. Maybe when I grow a third arm.
Off to my bank, where we applied for a loan. It was great. Did I mention I have pink hair? Coupled with my boy who was missing part of his shirt. Who wouldn't want to loan us money? I forgot to bring a toy for ms baby, so I was letting her play with a little hairbrush. I'm sure we didn't look at all like white trash. But wait, it gets better. At my bank they have this island covered in free crap like calendars. I grabbed her one of the flyswatters because she's always trying to play with mine at home. I let her chew on it all through the stores. Not to mention I'm going manic, so I was bouncing around and practically yelling "shakyshakyshaky" and weaving/shaking the cart the majority of the time because it was making her belly laugh. I knew Z was proud to be there with me, and the rest of the shoppers were thankful for the free laugh at my expense. Then we stopped to pick up Kyle, but the kids wouldn't let me have him back, so I left him till about 3:30. My daughter put poisonous crap in her mouth this afternoon.
She watched the Discovery channel with me today. I made her stay home from grama's so I could make sure she didn't start vomiting/passing out from the incident earlier in the day. She asked me if I knew who discovered the Titanic. I did not. Well, she did. She's freakin 8 years old, and already making me feel dumb! Then during the supervolcano show she was rattling off all this information on Mt Vesuvius/Pompeii. Is this not the same kid that was wishing she was dead because she was so stupid and dumb and bad just like 2 years ago? Gimme a break kiddo, you're a genius. Just like yer mommy. Even if your mommy can't spell the name of the volcanoes that you know the heights and dates of eruptions of. |
