So I have an ear infection right now, and everything sounds very tinny and far away. So when Elaina calls me, it sounds exactly like Carol-Ann calling her mom from inside the tv. Let's hope I don't turn around and find all the chairs piled on top of the kitchen table.
He cracks me up every day. We are in the process of buying a fridge off of Craigslist for the garage. This is our IM conversation:
ME: did you call the fridge guy ?
JOHN: yeah
he's busy
expecting his "first born"
whatever
I need that fridge!
ME: whatever!
so what, are they just sitting at the hospital waiting for the kid? How does that affect our fridge sale?
JOHN: I don't know
I told him it's no big deal
we have kids all the time
You can't just put your life on hold
what kind of an example do you think he's setting
You know what's kind of sad? When you put on a movie for your kid and then leave the room and then 20 minutes later come back in and somehow the language selection got switched and it's been on in Spanish the whole time, and your kid is just laying on the couch looking confused. Not that that happend. I am just saying.
There isn't much to tell. We have a house showing at 3 pm so we are trying frantically to catch up on all the crap we let slide. Naturally Liam is choosing today to be the clingiest, whiniest thing ever. Poor baby, I think he is tired. But still. Get off now. After I give the kids lunch and I put him down for a nap I am taking the big kids and meeting a friend and her kids at one of those indoor bounce house jumpy slide places. So the kids can get their energy out, and with Liam at home, I might be able to complete a thought, maybe even a sentence. We'll see.
Don't these children realize how much NICER and HAPPIER I would be if I could just take a little nap? Just an hour, nothing crazy. Sigh. I have been on this kick this week of staying up till 1 am watching stupid tv and surfing the internet. Yeah. So now I am exhausted and bitchy. I think tonight I will be going to bed at like 9:30. I also ran out of COFFEE this morning! Yikes. I ended up going through the drive through at Bad Ass - I had the little card that had 10 punches so this one was free - and you know what ... it was AWFUL. Why can't the Starbucks here have a drive though? Actually it's better that they don't. That would be entirely too tempting.
There is no food at all in this house so when the baby wakes up I have to drag all 3 of them with my exhausted self to BJs to go grocery shopping. Woo hoo.
So the other day we were wandering Target, spreading some germs, and Elaina got all bedazzled by the jewelry and started asking when she could get "holes" ... I was a little surprised that she asked, but then again, whenever I wear earrings she is extremely interested, so maybe I should not have been so surprised. So for all of you moms of girlies, how old was your daughter when you got her ears pierced? Her 4th birthday is coming up but I am thinking that's a little young... like you should either do it when they are a baby or wait, but wait till when? I think I was 10.
Also would the father of this child please weigh in on this?
I have decided that I really like the show Jon & Kate plus 8. Did you know there is a whole blog about what a bitch she really is? I choose not to believe it. I mean yeah she is kind of a hard ass sometimes, but the woman has EIGHT children. Who can blame her. And her hubby gives it right back to her in his own way.
