And Now, for Something Completely Different

[littlemissmuffet]

I find every time something whacky happens on the board I have my period. Guess what? I have my period. ::

I am writing in my dd's journal. Hubs and I have been keeping journals since we found out I was pregnant to record our experiences as parents, words of advice, etc to our little one. We plan to give them to her when she is an adult lovethis

Oh, I'm also eating an entire avacado - right from the peel. Mmm!

I`m off today. It is hard to post when working, phones are not allowed during work hours. So I can log on during my break or after work. Right now I am reading up on my requirement for certification. Then I need to get dinner started. It has been tough managing the family and working, but we are adjusting.

I hope so. lovethis

I had a friend in highschool whose mom started her a journal when she was 5 and was still writing to her in it at age 16 when I last saw her. I thought it was a fantastic idea!

Wow. Busy week around the forum eh? Lots of...action It was the full moon, so I'm not entirely surprised, but let's put the hard feelings and drama llamas aside and find something more interesting to do.

However, I'm tapped out of ideas. So we'll go for a nice, "Whatcha doin'?"

(Yes, I've just quoted Monty Python and Phineas and Ferb both within like, ten lines. Or less. Haha! I'm a total geek)

My crew is finishing up an episode of Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood while I hide in the kitchen eating part of a pint of Ben and Jerry's Pina Colada ice cream. This stuff is DELICIOUS, by the way. I'm looking forward to the weekend. We have no plans and I'd like to keep it that way. Been way too busy lately.

I've been rewatching the Series "Call the Midwife". Fabulous. It's streaming on Netflix or you can watch it on PBS's website. Great, great show.

Watching the second season of that show as I type while kids nap . Love this show.

If we were in school, I would so send you a note..."Will you please be my best friend?" with little boxes to check for yes and no.

Most of my friends are so serious and straight-laced they'd look at me like I was from outer space if I started referencing Monty Python or Phineas and Ferb.

My kids, however, think I'm awesome!

I'm waiting for my last daycare kid to be picked up. My daughter just called and asked me to bring her track jersey because she forgot it. I searched everywhere and it's definitely not here, she was at her dads house last weekend after her last track meet and probably left it there but she keeps insisting its here and I know it's not. She's why some animals eat their young! I'm exhausted, I had my annual unannounced spot check today (and yippee we got 100%) but I thought she was going to come in July since that's when she came last year. I didn't know the wait was stressing me but after she left I felt immediately exhausted. To top all of this off my youngest son wasn't feeling well and crawled in bed with me last night and my hubby farts like every 5 minutes when he's sleeping..it's so bad it wakes me up! Oy, I'm tired.

Only one dcb today, and he got picked up over an hour early!

I had extra time to connect with my own kids and we all ate sugary dry cereal from a box, which is a big treat in our house. Lucky for them I bought Apple Jacks for dcb to make a cereal necklace.

And it's homemade pizza and movie night (), which generally means Doctor Who geek fest around here.

I'm finishing up the last few things I need to do so I can call the licensor and fire/safety guys back over for what will hopefully be my final inspection. I got the paperwork today from the code enforcement guy that my new deck addition passed. If all goes well I will be good to open by the end of the month..

That's great news! Good luck!

I'm doing homework with my DS who is in kindy.... My dd age 10 is doing her homework..... My dcb sa who is in kindy doesn't have hw yet so he's playing with his two sisters age 2 yrs and 3 yrs. they didn't arrive until 330 and they haven't had nap today so that's always fun. The dcb age 10 weeks is asleep in my room after his bottle. His sister my special dcg age 22 months is in the nap room taking a nap....

And whew I'm tired already and my daycare day didn't even start until 100 pm. But I was up at six if that counts??

Lol

[ihop]

I just had another provider off of craigslist email me to tell me I have an absolutely adorable daycare name and if we took nominations I would win hands down . I've always been iffy about my name so that made my afternoon

Almost makes up for dcb only napping 40min all day instead of 3hrs......almost

I had a friend in highschool whose mom started her a journal when she was 5 and was still writing to her in it at age 16 when I last saw her. I thought it was a fantastic idea!

I started a journal when I was still in the hospital with my dd. She is 25 this year and I still write in it atleast 2 times per month.

I also started a journal the day I met my DH and have since added 5 more since we've been together now for 26 years.

I have always been a journal keeper but I do have to say that the journals I keep are some of my most personal and important belongings.

I plan to give my DD the journal I kept for her when she has her first child someday.

Re-reading them is a wonderful way to keep "life" in perspective and see things from the "big picture" view.

Keeping a journal about my DD and parenting her as well as keeping one in regards to being married has been both therapeutic and one of the best things I feel I have done in my life.

MissMuffets...you (and your DD) will greatly appreciate your thoughtfulness to do this. lovethis

Today has actually been really easy!!!! happyface (I say as I knock on wood so I didn't just jinx it and this peacefully naptime ends in screaming and all hell breaks loose)

DD and I made a ham and feta calzone for lunch, the rest of the kids wanted to play make shadows with the window blocks, so we got impromptu "special" time together. My high needs baby (that's on "probation" for screaming 24/7) has played all day on the floor and a bit in the play yard with no crying (miracle!!) and everyone has been getting along!

Only thing that could make today better is if it was Friday!

And now I want to break out my flying circus dvds and watch some MP! ::


BTW...I think the journals are an awesome idea! I've got an email account for DD and we've been sending photos and emails of things we do but I like the journaling idea
