Blah, blah, busy, yadda yadda, sick, blah.
I don’t have the capacity for coherent thought anymore so here are a bunch of the things that have happened in the past couple weeks in list form:
1. The Cable Guy got to see my boob. Bonus! Also, I found out his girlfriend has 15 cats.
2. At the grocery store last week the bagger put my reusable nylon bags inside of a new plastic bag for me to carry them home in. Does anyone not get the obvious message here? Well at least one person doesn’t I guess.
3. Nick was a skeleton for Halloween and went on his first Trick-or-Treating mission to score his dad some candy. He DUG it. Funny thing about kids though, whenever anyone offered him another piece he wouldn’t take it and gestured wildly about the bag already having their candy in it. I guess we learn excess with age.
4. The aforementioned skeleton costume? He wore last year’s skeleton hoodie and I made him a mask. It took me three minutes. Total cost: nada! Freaking adorable though.
5. I’ve been entering a ton of contests. I am desperately trying to win us a dream vacation or money for home repairs or at the very least some kind of new toy to entertain the little hellions for a minute.
6. I’m still very, very tired.
7. Mike says Zoey is a “Binary Baby.” She’s on or off. Happy and smiling switches instantly to angry and screeching. Sleeping peacefully switches instantly to wide awake and screeching. She is such a little Gemini!
8. Zoey can only sleep while swaddled. Seriously what is up with that? I took her to the chiropractor last week and her wake-ups instantly decreased but it is still 2-3 times a night and up at 6am. Why don’t my children like to sleep? Don’t they know that I like to sleep?
(doesn’t she look like a little pink Mini Me?)
9. We were eating out a Waldo Pizza with my mom and Bob last week and the entertainment I brought was a roll of tiny Spongebob Squarepants tattoos. When asked where he wanted his he proclaimed loudly for all to hear, “Tattoo my BUTT!”
10. Nick poured his milk out all over the rug and licked it up like a dog.
11. Nick can outsmart our “childproof” outlet covers and plugs things in them every time I am busy nursing Zoey. Thankfully the things he likes to plug in are electrical devices, not screwdrivers.
12. I won a 6-month subscription to “What’s Cooking Weekly.” Dinner menus and recipes all planned out for me five nights a week? Yeah, I can do that.
13. A couple of nights ago Nick, Zoey and I all took a bath together. We are so freaking adorable that I wish I could show you the pictures — but it was enough that the Cable Guy saw my boob, you don’t need to also.
14. While we were in the bath we began hearing noises, disturbing noises like a large animal in our duct system. Upon investigation Mike found the source of the noise: a cat in the ventilation system. Specifically our cat, Griffin. He went in through the vent that Nick took the cover off of while our other cat, Sabine, stood guard. Just glad it wasn’t an angry squirrel this time.
15. Finally got my bulbs planted last weekend (thanks mom!). One project down 49,852,477 left to go.
Okay, I’m out.
