Jackers!

Monday fun…we started out the day at the park playing with a little italian athletic prodigy. 2&1/2 years old and able to hit a wiffle ball with a bat. It was quite a sight to see. Bub had so much fun…it was him, Genoa, and Nickel (indian boy). They ran and ran and played follow the leader. It was hilarious, bub being 18 months-Genoa 2&1/2-and Nickel 4 or 5. He so wants to be a big boy…and with his new hair cut he looks the part! Then we played in the backyard and went for a walk. Then something that started exciting but ended rude happened…we found a play structure thing on craigslist (those plastic things little kids can climb on-usually they have a slide) that we could afford and it was actually still available. We had to hurry hurry to get out to the ladies house(at the beginning of traffic time) to “look at it” which to me means-since she posted a picture-we were going to pay for it and pick it up. So excited we pulled up to see some guy loading our play structure in his car-That’s right OUR PLAY STRUCTURE!!! Apparently the guy who bought it was to supposed to have shown up this morning but never did and didn’t call. Which is why she told us it was still there. So knowing we were on our way she sold it any way and didn’t even call(even though she had my cell number). Pretty rude!!!

The Adventures of Piggley Winks…is possibly the cutest show on TV! It’s a cartoon that comes on Sunday mornings on our public broadcast station. So one morning while getting ready for church I was flipping through the channels and a cute farm animal with an irish accent caught my attention. So I watched-not with bub-the entire cartoon. It is hilarious, probably because I love all their accents so much. The main characters are a pig-Piggley, a bull-Ferny, and a mallord-Dannan. They live on Raloo farm in Ireland…so generally its a town full of talking farm animals where sheep are like dogs and everyone but one animal(a sheep from america) has an irish accent. So now I watch it every Sunday morning(bub likes it too)!

My best friend who is pregnant in Florida gets to find out this week when she will be induced(pre eclampsia) and it may actually be on my birthday! How cool is that?!? What a birthday present and her daughter and I will always have a special connection (other then the fact that I’ve know her mom since the beginning of time). Cross your fingers for me 🙂

Resolution

Resolution…after a rough morning I decided to make cookies for Lennox & I to eat till we puke..which definitely changed the mood 🙂 I was able to turn on some music and sit down and read. It really changed my perspective…I started reading The Parent Soup, A-Z Guide to your Toddler, generally it’s parents asking questions and other parents answering them. I have found it very helpful so far…especially in respect to dealing with Bub’s lack of patience and how he deals with anger and frustration. He gets most of his cues from me and I haven’t been as patient as I could be, nor have I been able to control my anger as much as I should. Yelling and spanking is only getting us so far. I’m going to try and be more patient myself…take time outs and not fly off the handle. It’s easy to let emotions take control! Which I’ve been doing a lot lately-blaming it on pregnancy hormones…No More!!! I have the will to control myself and I’m going to exercise it.

Tuesday

The weather was beautiful today. Mel came down and we went on a really long walk-which was great! I’ve got weigh-in tomorrow and as all you past and present pregnant ladies know it’s nerve racking ;p So getting mucho exercise before hand always makes me feel less stressed. It’s dumb and the last thing I should be worrying about, but I take a strange pride in the amount -or lack there of-that I have gained this time.

My dearest oldest friend got to go home from the hospital today…long story short she has preeclampsia and it looked as though she would have to spend the rest of her pregnancy in the hospital on bed rest 🙁 Luckily a few days in the hospital brought everything back to normal and they let her go home. Good thing to the hospital she was in sucked!! I mean it’s one thing to be somewhere that sucks for 48 hours but quite another for 4 weeks. So now she has to go in everyday for tests-which I hope don’t stress her out.

I was checking out dooce the other day and her post was nothing more then a few lines from this guy’s blog. Anyhow the guy’s blog was funny and I’m glad she linked it…but you imagine the amount of traffic that guy got that day?!? Having dooce link you is a pretty big deal, because the site is so popular…if she deems something interesting it’s worth checking out-silly but true. Crazy to think one person can have such an affect on so many. Crazy in a cool I want to be that way one day way…

The Wrath of Ghengis Bub

My sweet little love has been replaced by a havoc reeking tornado that destroys everything in it’s path. It is now completely necessary to chuck anything he gets his hands on across the room. His sweet looks of innocent curiosity have been replaced by evil mischief.

Today was fun…a friend came by to hang out with me and the bub. It’s always so nice to have adult company during the day. The weather wasn’t great so we decided to walk at the mall. The mall with the playground…boy does bub love the playground. He charmed a little/older girl and spent most of his time holding hands with her–THAT’S RIGHT HOLDING HANDS-he’s 18 months old. Mostly the little girl was just a good little mommy wana be and bub was eating up the attention. It did give me a glimpse of the future, Lennox the charmer. We are going to have to beat the girls off with a stick! I’m going to buy a good one tomorrow…
