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.
