Long time no bloggy.

I haven't really had anything very interesting to write about lately. So here is a list of random stuff going on in my life.

1 - Beans turns 2 on Monday. WAH! Where did the time go?

2 - Beans refuses to wear clothes. You can find her naked, wearing rubber boots and a winter hat, or baseball cap, whichever she feels like that day.

3 - I am not going to lie, you can also sometimes find pee running down her leg and into said rubber boots.

4 - She peed on the floor 5ish times this week already. Its only Wednesday.

5 - She threw a screaming fit in the grocery store yesterday. It was so freeken embarrasing. I wanted to die. I would have just left the store and not rewarded her for the bad behavior, but like HELL I was leaving without a bottle of wine. She also got a book.. so yeah, no lesson learned there on her end. I learned however that I will never bring her to the store again.

6 - I am addicted to Facebook.

7 - I saw a guy in Walmart on Sunday that looked like Akon. When he left my site, I spent 30 minutes wandering the store looking for him. Realistically I know it wasn't Akon, considering we are in Vermont and we are in Walmart... and even if it was him, what was I going to say? "Hi, I'm Heidi, I'm married with a kid, but I am more than willing to lead a double life if you are interested.." that probably wouldn't have worked. I could have also said "Hi, wanna go hide in an isle and make out??" that may have been a better approach.. though if we are being honest, the conversation would have gone something more like "babble babble akswioasiaskfjsa AKON alskahasjflk bbabbblblleeeeee I LOVE YOU..."

Boring

Things are crazy boring here lately. Nothing fun or new to report.

Beans pooped on my floor the other day.. but I mean, it didn't really come as a surprise or anything.

We put her in a bed this weekend. We promptly went back to the crib the following night.

Um.. yeah, that is it. We are booooring :)

Happy Halloween!!

Quite Possibly

The best money I ever spent.

Nap Time

Let me set the scene. I'm pretending to sleep, as is my husband.

Beans: Mama!

Me: ::fake snore::

Beans: Mama! (She notices a mole on my face and begins to touch it) Boo boo mama? Boo boo mama ::muah:: (kisses it) all bedda mama! (all better) All bedda. (She then begins to lick her finger and rub it on my "boo boo") all bedda, boo boo, all bedda boo boo.

At this point there is no more nap to be had. I am shaking from laughing and give up on her going to sleep.

Patience

Patience truly is a virtue. One I do not have.

My problem is I am patient for a long time, and then I lose it. There is no middle ground where I work up to my freak-outs.. its all or nothing.

Example:

Me - Beans, put your pants on.

Beans - No

Me - Beanie, please put your pants on, we have to get going.

Beans - No mama

Me - Sweetie, can we please put our pants on? Its time to go to Shelby's house.

Beans - No

Me - You don't want to go to Shelby's today? Oh, that's too bad, its so fun there.

Beans - No

Me - Come on pretty girl, its time for those pants.

Beans - No

Me - Beanie, lets get going now, no more fooling around.

Beans - No

Me - Sweety, listen to mommy please.

Beans - No

Me - PUT YOUR FRIGGEN PANTS ON RIGHT NOW BEFORE I PUT YOU IN THE FREEZING CAR WITHOUT ANY ON! DO YOU WANT THAT? HUH? DO YOU WANT TO FREEZE ALL DAMN DAY BEANER???? GET THE EFFING PANTS ON RIGHT THIS SECOND!!!!

Beans - WAAAAAHHHHHH MAAAAMMMAAAA

Me - Lay down sweetie and we'll get those pants on you.

Beans - No

Grrrrrr

Best Daycare Ever

Beans goes to the best daycare ever. I could go on and on and on about why its so great, but bottom line, the girl who owns it (its a small in-home center) invited me to an Adult Toy Party last week. I mean.. is that not the greatest? Not only does she do a steller job watching my kid, but she is a closet freak-a-leek. Love it :)

Oh.

Was I not supposed to write on the wall?

You're going down.

At our house, we feed the Bengals to the dog!! Go Steelers! :)

*For those of you who are not football fans, the Bengals and the Steelers are in the same division. Sort of a rivarly you might say.*

Dear Sky

I know you see me from up there. You saw I got out of bed early and turned on my hair straightener. You saw how I brushed my hair really good and parted it so that all of my pieces would get properly straightened. You saw how long it took and how hot that freeken iron is and how many times my neck got burned. You saw, I know you did.

So explain to me why the hell you think its cool to rain. My soft beautiful hair lasted all of five effing minutes before it turned into a frizz ball when I had to go outside. Thanks a lot. Asshole.

Stacey and Clinton.. we need your help!

This is the outfit Beans picked out last week. Luckily we had nowhere to go...

Will the burning ever stop?

I started working out again yesterday. I did the whole dieting thing alone, and now I'm going to try to diet and exercise. I am sick of jiggling everywhere. I want some firmness in my life.

I decided to take it easy, I only did 4 things (of the weight lifting nature) and only 2 sets of each exercise. I figured I would ease into it.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but everything I "worked" burns today. Sharp shooting pains when I try to sit, stand, walk, breathe...

Ouchy.

I'm back!

Did you miss me? Did you even notice I was gone?? Haha.

We had a wonderful time in Virginia. Everything went really well. Now the hard part starts. Getting Beans back into a routine. She got used to sleeping in my mom's bed and now she doesn't want to sleep in her crib. Great! I am not really good at letting her cry it out at night, so this should be interesting..

Can you spare a pair?

I need a set of balls. I have none (prolly because I'm a girl).. so perhaps I could just borrow some for when I need to stand up for myself. I'm not so good at that, and its getting tired.

Help. Thanks!

Unforseen Expenses

Just when I think I have all the bills covered for the month, more come in.

We need to get the truck inspected. Lame.

My license needs to be renewed. Lame.

They want us to pay for TV, totally lame, that should be free, isn't that why we have to watch commericals? Gay*.

***Don't get your panties in a bunch, I have nothing against gay people, I just like to use the word when I'm annoyed.

She sat still.

I love her so much.

She did it! On her own.

She slept through, no crying necessary. I will give a big Thank You to Ky as she mentioned last week that she switched the kids over to Supreme diapers at night to prevent leaks when they were around this age. I'm not sure if that's what did it or not, but I used them and she slept all night. Maybe she was just mad about waking up with a wet cooter? She always acted like she didn't want to get out of bed, she was just uncomfortable. So maybe this is the trick. Either way, we are now using Supreme's at night. I hope she keeps this up!

Help!

I'm already starting to chicken out and it's only 2:45 in the afternoon!

Wah.. why am I such a tool?

I need my morning/overtired/pissy anger to carry me through until her next bedtime, but unfortunetly she's been awesome today and now I feel bad for her. I don't want her laying in bed thinking I'm an a-hole. Pray she sleeps through on her own, would ya? I don't think I have it in me to let her cry.

Boot Camp -

Starts tonight. No if's, and's or but's. Bean has slept like absolute crap for the past 2 weeks. She is up several times a night, and for the past two nights, she's ended up in our bed. I'm not kidding when I say that she does.not.stop.moving EVER when she sleeps. Something on her body is moving at all times. I slept like 3 total hours last night, and that just isn't cool.

I know her crappy sleeping is my fault. I've never been a fan of letting her cry-it-out, and it will kill me to listen to it tonight and however many nights it takes to get her to sleep through, but its necessary. I should have done this a YEAR ago. She is almost 2 years old and has never been a good sleeper. Her record number of sleeping-through nights is like 6-7. There are infants who sleep better than that ::AHHHEEM Hayley (I kind of hate you a little):: LOL Just picking Ky :)
Really though, how come some kids just sleep through on their own and others require their parents to be jerks who have to make them cry themselves to sleep :( Blah... I hate it.

So yeah, it starts tonight. I hope I can stay strong. Wish me luck.

What did you just say?

About 2 minutes ago..

Beans has a pen, running it against the wall.

Me - Beans, do not write on the wall, I'll take it away, do not do that!

Beans - Do.Not.Do.Dat.

Me - Are you mocking me?

Beans - Mock-ing Mock-ing (as she does a little dance)

Her word repeating skills are getting out of hand..

Thankful?

All weekend I had planned on doing a long post about how thankful I am of everything that's going on in my life right now and how I feel like things are falling into place. Then Carly decided to sleep like total crap for 3 days and I am not feeling so upbeat about things.

Funny how sleep deprivation can cloud your head.

Shoe Fetish

Beans is starting to bother me with her fascination with shoes. It would be one thing if she wanted to wear a pair of shoes for the day, but that isn't her style. She wakes up, catches a glimpse of her shoes and its all over.

CHEWSSSS MAMA

SHLIP SHLOPS (flip flop) MAMA!!

BOOOOOOOTSSHHHHSSSHHH (she has a bit of a speech impediment lol)

They go off and on all day. If she can't find her boots she lays on the floor and bawls. Real tears too. I think she has a future as a Soap Star. She is so ridiculously dramatic.

If this doesn't stop she is going to get labled as a brat. Right now I can blame her age..but yikes, if she doesn't snap out of it, people are going to start thinking I suck at this mom thing. And what if I do?? Crap!

A little too curious...

Have you seen this show? Curious George. Its on PBS, a staple in our house.

Could you explain why anyone would leave a monkey in charge? Especially a curious one. He screws everything up, everytime. Without fail. He is always making messes and nobody ever expects him to clean it up. What gives? Who the heck even lets a monkey live in an apartment building? The last episode I saw he was helping the plumber fix a clog that *he* started. Who lets a monkey do plumbing?

Also, since we're on the subject. Why can't The Man in the Yellow Hat have a real name. Its annoying and makes ME curious...

Advice Column

Let me save you all a little trouble. Do not camp with toddlers if your husband isn't there to help. I repeat, do NOT camp with toddlers without some back up. Its stressful, tiring and you won't really enjoy yourself. Seriously. I wouldn't lie to you.

After spending my morning bitching about the rain and the fact that I can't camp this weekend, I have decided to shut my trap.

I just went and looked at pictures of what Hurricane Dolly is doing to Texas. I am humbled. So what if I can't camp. So what if it pours from now until next week. So what. I have a house and my family is safe. How dare I complain. My daughter is safe and warm, she isn't on a life boat or in the streets or in a shelter, cold, wet and scared.

For that, I am thankful.

Thanks!

*Thank you rain for effing up my weekend.

*Thank you inlaws for stealing my husband for the weekend.

*Thank you weather people for giving me false hope.

*Thank you Eureka! tents for the awesome tent I have used once because of all the rain.

My O Face

This blog isn't just about Beans, its also about me. I happen to be quite fascinating (not really). Here are just a few things (this could be a recurring theme here) that make me O.

Scrapbooking Supplies and Organization







Organized Closets



Shoes



Star Tattoo's

Muffin Top

Ever wonder how to put on 4 pounds in 2-3 days? Let me teach you.

Start with pizza on a Thursday night. Eat it really late, so late that you go to bed immediatly after eating more than your fair share of the pie.

Wake up on Friday morning and eat breakfast, then eat your daughters breakfast.

Go to Friendly's. Get a Honey BBQ Supermelt. Eat the entire sandwich, fries, and then eat your daughters hot dog and mac and cheese that she isn't touching.

Follow up your lunch with a Butterfinger Ice Cream Sundae.

You will start to feel sick to your stomach. Do not let that stop you from eating dinner. Do not start taking it easy and absolutely do NOT count calories!

Eat a hot dog, macaroni salad, pasta salad and about 1,452 chips and dip. When your stomach feels like its going to pop open, take a tums and keep on truckin. Eat a few more chips, I mean, you wouldn't want them to go to waste.

Drink a lot of beer, or any high calorie beverage of your choice.

Saturday Morning, go to breakfast. Eat eggs, sausage, toast (with Jam of course), home fries and a drink.

For lunch eat a slice of pizza (or 2...) and start drinking beer.

That should just about do it. You can of course continue this eating pattern for the remainder of your weekend, but it isn't necessary. The four pounds should be there.

If you are an overachiever like myself you can keep going. Have a frozen Chicken Pot Pie for dinner on Saturday night. That is a quick (and tasty) 1,000 calories. Wake up on Sunday, eat a heavy breakfast, drink lots of calories and have sloppy joes for dinner...with fries.

Grrrr..

Pictures are gone.

He claims there must have been a "glitch" because he didn't delete them.

I am really not convinced he didn't have *something* to do with this.

Damn it.

I had a totally Myspace worthy pic on there.

None of Carly though, so at least I didn't lose anything super important.

Bean's had a Well-Child check up today. Not sure why they call it a "well child".. I mean I know she isn't sick..but "well child" just doesn't have a nice ring to it.

Anywho, she is 22.75 pounds and is 33 inches long.

During the entire appointment she was pounding on the door and repeating "help me!" She is really not a fan of the doctors office. She cries when I undress her to get weighed... so you can only imagine how bad shots are. Luckily she didn't need any today. Thank God.

Oh and -


Stay tuned: Possible domestic dispute here at our house. I think my husband deleted all the pics off my camera. He just pulled in, can't wait to see how it goes :)

You're not who I wanted

Yesterday Morning:

Beans wakes up (she is in our bed, which isn't something she is used to) and I hear her moving around, I'm in the closet.

Beans: Hey. Hey.... HEY!

Me: Oh good morning Beanie!

Beans: Da da?

Me: Dada's at work baby.

Beans: Oh. (she said it very matter-of-factly, as if she was totally bummed she was stuck with me).

How did they get there?

I cleaned out the toy box yesterday. In it I found the following items:

2 flashlights

1 bottle of prenatal vitamins.

2 softballs

1 horsewhip (we only use it on the dog, and we are gentle...promise!)

1 empty can of Altoids

and

1 insense burner thingy (the wooden things that hold the sticks) (fyi, I REALLY hate insense)

Long Weekend Review

Friday -

We had a wonderful July 4th weekend. Beans was a really good girl. She even sat still at the parade. My daughter, sat still, for an ENTIRE parade. I would like to thank the person who threw her a lollipop because she was in Heaven and that was probably why she was so good.

Saturday -

Beans grabs my boob, gives it a squeeze and shouts, "BALL!" Sorry honey, that's not as much a ball as it is a deflated water balloon.

Sunday -

I ordered a new tent! It so awesome too. I had a boner all day after I ordered it. Its my dream tent and the high of getting it has overridden my paranoia about spending the money. It was a lot of money. A lot for me anyway. But its so pimp... check it out!

Seriously...

When is she going to sleep through? Like, when will the day come that I'm shocked that she woke up in the middle of the night? Please tell me. And I'll kiss you if you say its soon. She was up three times last night. Two is the new average, three is just enough to get my blood boiling. I don't get it. She can go a week where she sleeps through (okay, she's only slept through for a whole week, in a row, once, but still, it was awesome) and then it all goes to crap. We do the same thing every night. We have the same routine and she goes down at relatively the same time every single night. Why oh WHY does she not sleep through but 1-2 nights a week, IF that??

I am so tired. I'm always tired. People ask me when I'm having another. As far as I'm concered she is still a baby. I don't need two babies people. I'm struggling with one.

Mind Your Manners, Wash Your Hands, Don't Pee On Me.

Beans is starting to realize when she farts and burps. She also has learned to say "CUE-Z MEEEE" (Excuse Me)... talk about cute. I laugh every time. The laughing however leads to her fake burping just so she can say it. Last night for five minutes we went back and forth fake burping and saying "cuez meeee." At one point I thought she was going to throw up because she was trying so hard to make the EECCKKK sound. I love her.

She is also really good at sharing. I mean, she did give me her pink eye.

This morning she disregarded all her manners and sharing and peed on me. I was dressed and ready for work. I was wearing my favorite capris. I was not happy. I started spouting off at the mouth while I went upstairs. I threw my pants into the laundry basket really hard (not sure what that was going to solve) and said a few (read: a hundred) swear words. Good parenting.

Ew.

I have pink eye. It looks so sexy too. I am pretty sure my husband won't be able to keep his hands off me. Is there anything hotter than looking like you got punched in the face, then you started smoking weed for the rest of the day? Its awesome, really friggen awesome. I hope it doesn't spread..I can only wear one eye patch at a time, I sort of need at least one eye to see with.

*I don't really wear an eye patch, I'm not a pirate.

She's back.

Bean must be feeling like herself again. She has been waking up several times at night and getting up around 5:00am.

That's my girl...

Prayers Please

If you are the praying kind, please send some love up for my Friend today. She is having an IUI as we speak. Pray the spermies implant and that she gets pregnant with the most beautiful baby ever :) Thanks!!

Adventure at Big Lots

Oooooh Hannah Montana phones!!



I'll take three!!



What do you mean no? Look at this face!?!



I somehow managed to leave the store with no phones. I would have agreed to one phone purchase, but she dropped it before we got to the register and I put it up on a shelf and kept on steppin!

Knock Knock...

Who's there you're wondering? The freeken Jehovah's! I couldn't even hide when I heard a car pull up, the dog was barking and Beans was crying due to a foot vs. pointy block incident. So I hear the knock, I am hoping that it isn't them..even though I know it is because who the heck else would it be? I open the door to see my *friend*..the same guy every time. He knows my name, knows the husbands name, knows Bean's name... isn't he right on top of that?!? I'm always too nice to rush them out, I just can't be rude or mean. So I listen to their schpeal. Same thing every time pretty much, only now that we are on a first name basis I get to do the whole small talk thing. Greeeaaat. So here we are, me in the doorway, holding Beans and he is going on and on and reciting scripture and blah blah blah. I get it dude, you love God. You love Him so much that you drive around town paying $4+ a gallon for gas to spread the good Word. I get it. I love Him too, I've told you this, you aren't converting me, I'm already on your side. I don't say this of course because well, I don't say anything. Socially, I am an idiot, a shy lame terd of a person. I just nod, try to make eye contact and say "uh huh" when he asks a rhetorical question (which is like every 5 words). I'd like to chat, really, I'd love to give my opinions but I just can't. I'm too shy. I'd like to tell them to call ahead of time and let me have a few drinks first, I'd be much more entertaining and maybe even invite them to sit at the table... but I doubt they do that kind of thing. I can talk to anyone when I have a buzz... straight however is another story. I am just terrible at it. I don't do strangers, I don't make friends and I probably come across as a bitch because heaven forbid I strike up a conversation with someone. Yeah I'm lame.
Anyway..back to the Jehovah's! They are going on and on and Beans now decides that since the door is open, she gets to go outside. So she proceeds to say "shoes" over and over and over the ENTIRE time they are there. He is trying to explain stuff but all you hear is "CHEWS!" (her version of shoes)...and I mean she doesn't stop. Even after they leave she is pointing at the shelf (I have to keep them high up so she doesn't think she can go out if she puts them on herself) and saying "chews chews cheeeeeeeews!!!!" and cries, hard, for what feels like an hour but was prolly more like 2 minutes. Blah!! So now when she gets up from her nap I'll probably have to hear about it again. Freeken Jehovah's!

Sick Again!

Beanie Weenie was sick again on Friday. This is twice in less than a month that she's had the pukes. What the hell? I thought that was sort of a yearly thing? Apparently not. Germy little bastard.

It started on Friday around 7:00pm. Earlier in the day we went to the beach for some Mama/Daughter bonding. (The pics are awesome by the way, I'll post them this week maybe) She loved it. Absolutely had a ball, and only tried to drown herself once, yay! She loved the water, loved the sand, loved it all. She didn't even whine when it was time to go home..I should have known the day was too good to be true.

I get home, my husband comes home a few minutes later and stays with Bean while I go to my nieces last softball game. As I am leaving her game (they won, in case you care), the phone rings. Its my husband. Bean barfed. I rush home. There is barf in the living room, in the kitchen, in the sink, in the tub, in her bed and on the floors...it looks like a frat house on a Saturday morning. Only there was no keg at my place, otherwise you can bet I would have started drinking. It was horrible! We had to let her sleep with us as she was up constantly either puking or dry heaving. This went on the entire night. By Saturday morning I had slept maybe 2 hours.

My husband left the house for softball around 5:30am. He offered to stay home but I figured he might as well get out of the house, no use in us both being miserable. Normally I'm spiteful and would have begged for him to stay..but since she hadn't puked I figured I would be okay. Boy was I wrong. She didn't puke but rather turned into the biggest brat you've ever seen (okay, not the biggest, I've met worse, but she was BAD man, real bad!) so yeah, Saturday sucked giant balls. I will elaborate on her brattyness another day. I need some lunch and I'm guessing she won't nap long today.

Life is so Rough...

She looks sad and pissy huh? Yeah, it was a rough morning. She got up at her convenience around 6:00 (way to freeken early if you ask me), she has her milk, she is dressed, her favorite show is on, and yet, still mad.

This was from yesterday. I can't even remember what pissed her off. I'm guessing it was right after Daddy left. She is such a Daddy's girl, its ridiculous. I'll have to start working on some posts to illustrate it, its seriously crazy. She cries every morning when he goes to work, or if he's brushing his teeth and not paying complete attention to her. She knows when he is home by the sound of his truck pulling up, she runs to the window and then to the door..you get the idea. Enough about Super Dad...let's just look at her sad face and pretend she is just so in love with me she can't fight back the tears :)

Public Service Announcement

Because I love my readers (all 3 of you) I want to share some very important information.

It is more cost effective to buy 2, 4 piece chicken nuggets at McDonalds, than to buy a 6 piece. A 6 piece will run you around $2.65 (ish) and you can get a 4 piece on the dollar menu. Therefore, getting 2, 4 piece nuggets will save you money, AND you get a 2 nugget bonus.

I heard about this from a friend, obviously, because I would never subject my body to deep fried processed chicken, and I would never ::ahem:: give it to my toddler. Obviously.

Bi-Lingual Already?

Do we have any bi-lingual readers in the crowd? If so, could somebody please tell me what, "deedle bada beee deeeedeeee ba ba beee!!!" means?? Bean has been saying it over and over for about 15 minutes now. She looks me right in the eyes and repeats it over and over..sometimes she is singing it. I don't know what it means but I am fairly certain she means business.

So far it doesn't mean "I want more Teddy Grahams" or "Put on Barney bitch!" or "Give me milk"... I am out of ideas.

Barnsicle

I recently switched Beans TV time from Disney Channel to PBS. There are a few reasons, the main being that I have seen every episode of every show on Playhouse Disney (how is that even possible..I've only been a mom for 18 months!).. and also because when she watches PBS I fool myself into thinking she is getting smarter.
After about two weeks it is apparent that she is a huge fan of Barney. I suppose its better than her fascination of Bob Bob (Spongebob) but not nearly as entertaining. Bob Bob makes me laugh, Barney makes me want choke someone. It isn't even Barney that I have a problem with..its his "friends." Baby Bop is the biggest BRAT! She just whines on every episode and is a serious pain in the ass. If I wanted to hear whining, I'd turn of the TV and listen to Beans. BJ, the yellow bastard is okay..but the way he calls Baby Bop "Sissy" bugs me. And Rif..well he is new.. new to me anyway, and I hate him too. His voice is annoying and he thinks he is some fantastic inventor or something. Really lame!
I remember the old school Barney. Just him and some kids singing and dancing, yeah it got annoying, but not like this. Now there is this whole huge dialog and lessons and junk. I don't need that, just sing and dance and entertain my kid while I make a cup of coffee and check my email, mmmk?

I do have to say though.. I think part of my Barney issues stems from the fact that we have only 6 episodes recorded and I've seen them each like a dozen times. I need some new material..luckily I have it set to tape the show each day. Not sure if this will be a good or bad thing. If its bad, you'll be miserable with me, because I'll blog about it. You're welcome.

Puke Fest 2008

Bean has the pukes. First time ever. She has thrown up before, but it was because she got car sick, not because she was actually ill. Its a bit different watching her puke than it is just hearing it from the front seat. Its sad man..really sad. Luckily she was fine in between *sessions* so that made it a bit easier. She was running around and playing (probably mixing up the next batch of barf) when she wasn't crying and projectile vomiting all over me, and towels and blankets and the floor, and anything else in her path.

We (let's just blame my husband here too shall we) were stupid about it. Yesterday morning after she barfed a few times we figured she was okay because she was playing and laughing. So like idiots we gave her milk..and cheese...and some ice cream.. and yeah, she barfed again later in the day, after being fine for hours. So now we are on dairy strike. She is living on Vitamin Water and saltines. I would give her Pedialyte but she refuses to drink that, can't say I blame her, that crap is nasty, even the flavored ones.

So yeah..after having company all weekend we didn't even get to relax on our last day off, we were busy worrying about Bean and cleaning up puke. Fun Stuff!

Relaxation Techniques

Is there anything more relaxing than using the bathroom in the morning before work with your toddler in there with you? I mean really,what is better than that? There is nothing, and I mean nothing classier than sitting on the bowl with 3 stuffed animals on your lap while your daughter makes you kiss each one...several times.

Its even better when Bean grabs my hand so we can *walk* around the house. Um, dude, I'm doing something, I may look like I'm just sitting, but I'm working here mmmk, you gotta keep yourself busy for another minute or so.

Good times right?!? At least she isn't talking back yet :) I still got that going for me!

Of Course

I start a blog and Beans is on a good streak. It will end though. No worries. She is never well behaved for more than a day or two.

Just found my mans stanky softball socks next to the bed. I think that's a little post-Mother's Day foreplay. What else could it be? :)

Oh yeah..he knows about this so I have to be nice.

Crap...literally.

Not only has she still not napped...but she is on sludge diaper #3. It will take a 6 hour nap to make up for this. Considering her naps are more like 1-2 hours..she will definitely be today's loser. The only thing that can save her is learning a new word or doing something really cool. Its already after noon. Its not looking good kid.

Its Monday

It's Monday. I'm home alone with Bean. She is being good today, but definitely trying my patience. Her and the dog have some sort of competition going to see who can be more annoying. The dog had a nice lead earlier but Beans caught up with a sludgy diaper around 10:00am. They are tied right now and decided to work together. The dog is shedding and Beans is throwing it around like confetti.

Oh, she looks tired. Naps are positive points. +5 for every 30 minutes of sleepy time. Here's hoping for 20 points!.

Not such a great start.

I started my very first post...and my internet crapped out causing me to lose it. That's probably not a good sign right?

I'd like to sit here and write an articulate post about my life and family but that is just not my style. So how about a list instead.

• I am married.
• I have one daughter (I call her Beans), born December 8, 2006, on my husbands birthday.
• Beans prefers him over me, must be a birthday thing.
• Its definitely not because he's more fun... don't even go there.
• I have very little patience.
• Some days I have none.
