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.
• I work part-time.
• The other days I am home with Beans.

Yeah..so that's it.
