"Whatever!".
3 going on 14, folks! 3....going on 14! ;-)
Some randomness....cause that's how I roll....
- We came home to a pretty green pool! Anyone wanna come swim in sludge?!
- The house was flea bombed as well as industrial strength sprayed this weekend. I will physically strangle any flea I may ever find again. Little fuckers. The cats seem to be doing OK-- Belle got a cortizone/steroid shot on Thursday to help with her skin-- it worked wonders....her fur is finally growing back. Poor thing looked like a Turken!
- The weekend....aka "My Vacation"....was a blast! Saturday, we went to the beach....just the girls (me, my mom & Paige).... Paige was IN LOVE with the ocean! She loved being "chased" by the tide...tho was too timid to go any deeper than her knees-- which was fine....the undertow was pretty strong anyhow.
- I made a cool sand-castle while she and my mom played in the water & muddy sand. I felt like a little kid digging and patting and making tunnels in the dirt....it was fun!
- We did all get a bit too much sun...... didnt re-apply that sunscreen in time!
- Sunday, we all went out again-- this time shopping at Kohls.
- For the first time, I felt like a MOM with my MOM! Wierd to explain. But-- usually, my mom still pampers me.....helps out and buys us things when she can. Which is cool and always well appreciated. However, this weekend, money was tight. I got to play the MOM card...and as we shopped....she bought her own clothes-- and I bought my own clothes, as well as clothes & a stuffed animal for my own daughter. Odd to be a big deal...but it was a first for me. I felt like a real mom...with my Mom. Cant explain it any further...
- I got like 4 shirts, a slimming cami, new sunglasses (still wish i knew what happened to my old pair!) and a cute flowy long skirt-- which I LOVE. Spent WAAAAY too much money....but dang, i needed this stuff BAD!
- Sunday Night, Mike & I went to the Toby Keith/Trace Adkins concert. Lots of fun! Great time--- after we hit up Walmart....at 1am (LOL-- we were too wired)--- ended up getting P a backpack for school (for $1!)...and new sneakers for her.
- Glad we finally got that backpack & sneakers....every time myself or Mike have taken her out to pick some over the past few weeks-- she has become an opinionated teen. Seriously...everything we suggest is lame/gets an eye roll.... and she only wants big gawdy back packs or sparkly flip-flops or sandals (she has too many summer shoes- -and needed actual sneakers for the fall!).
- My kid is almost a size 11. When did this happen?!
- I am so overwhelmed at work & home.....I dont know where to start!
- On my to-do at home: put the front-porch/playroom back together; weed the veggie garden; paint the house exterior; touch-up the stain on the side deck; weed the driveway; weed the flower beds; sort thru the crap in the basement & vacuum; sort thru the crap in the office--toss stuff I dont need, reorganize what will be kept.
- I also was hoping to replace the kitchen floor & stain the new kitchen cabinet BEFORE Paige's b'day party.....I just want something to show when everyone comes over (most people havent been over since her b'day LAST year-- which we havent done ANYTHING with the house since...:-P).
- Fuck this shit-- too much to do...i dont know where to start. Right now, I just wanna shower and go to bed!
- Had to stop at the Pedi's office today and pick up proof of physical for P so she can officially be enrolled in preschool--- even tho her 4 year physical is NEXT WEEK-- they need some sort of proof NOW. Whatever (;-)).
- On the way out of the office...P is bouncing around and begging for a snack while we're walking down the hall....then she starts coughing--- gags-- and looks at me in terror--- as she puts her hand over her mouth. I *KNOW* that look! I whisk her down the hall to the ladies room and push open the stall door....and the lil dear begins to puke in the toliet. Poor kid. How random is that? And AT the Medical Center. Anyhow...kudos to her for holding it in til we got to the bathroom! And so gross.....apparently her and Mike had hot dogs & rice for lunch....mmmm.... floating hot dog chunks! Good thing i already hate hot dogs. ;-)
- I was in super paranoia mode after--- mainly worried she'd yack all over my car on the drive home--- i grabbed some paper cups from the lobby water fountain on my way out...."just in case". She held one on her lap on the way home--- never did puke again...and says she feels fine (no fever either--i checked!). How random is that?
- After all of that, she helped me make Eggplant Parmisan for dinner tonight. It started with her just dipping the eggplant slices in the milk/egg...and i did the breadcrumbs....but when I was putting the first batch into the broiler--- she started doing the entire process-- and correctly (egg dredge, then breadcrumbs, shaked the excess off, and placed it on a plate-- then onto the next)-- so i just let her go with it-- and she did the whole rest of the eggplant, perfectly. Cool! Gotta love having a lil helper!
- Anyhow.......life is fine. :-)

How is she doing with her food snatch problem?
no more stealing since that wicked week.
Im thinking she was in the midst of a horrid growth spurt--- she recently grew another inch, and outgrew her shoes....again.
Fingers crossed this behavior doesn't happen again!
