Yay Friday!

3-20-09

I was in a weird place last night. Ok, it was my head, and it pretty much goes without saying that it is a weird place. But last night, it was odder than normal. There was one dream in which somebody (I can’t remember exactly) had this funky tv on their belly (yes, picture telletubbies) that was able to play their memories, and if you touched them, you could put your own memories on their tv. Very pensieve like, which rocked. I also was 18 or so at one point and dating the rocker guy from American Idol. However, in the dream, I apparently wasn’t happy, and I met the other guy I like from the show (danny?) and the rocker guy told me I should go to him, and I did, and it was like this total John Hughes type movie ending. It was funny.

Later, I had dreams in which Jenni, Stephanie, Dani and I were out of town somewhere for the wedding of some chick that I guess I knew (don’t know her at all) and she was all upset that the only people at her wedding were people she didn’t know there, and we did a makeover for her (also very 80’s movie like) and she was all happy. Then Jenni and I had to drive somewhere to get something, and we got pulled over. At first I thought it was because I had no seatbelt on (which in itself is odd if you know me and seatbelts) but in fact, we got pulled over because they said Jenni’s Jeep (her old one) had too many miles on it? So then we had to go buy a new car for her. It was odd, very odd.

On the up side, my boss is out today. This means that I have a 4 day weekend essentially from dealing with him. I am out Monday, you see. So this means my day here is pretty easy. The only problem, well, let’s just say my tummy is super icky, and it isn’t fun being here. I am tempted to head home, but then I waste the boss free day. However, if I stay and feel like this all day, I don’t want to have to be running to the bathroom every 10 minutes. We will see how the morning goes. I have only been here just shy of an hour. So it may get better. I guess I will play it by ear.

We started watching Pinocchio last night. Bobby was interested until we said that if he wanted to watch the rest of it, he would have to forgo game and story. It wasn’t uber creepy, but I enjoyed the statistics on IMDB that pointed out all of the illegal thins in it, such as something like 20 assaults and things like that. Pretty entertaining. I am sure we will watch the whole movie tonight since we can start it earlier. I just need to see if they like it enough to make a copy or to purchase it. Dax didn’t care after about 15 minutes. Not shocking since that is about his attention span.

The only problem with us settling in to watch the movie is I forgot to check Dax for pee. I had him in his underwear. He comes up to me, all sad and says, “Look mommy, look my pants, look my shoes.” I didn’t see anything, and he insisted, and I realized he had peed. So I asked him if he had peed, and he drops his little head and says, “yes, I did”. Poor kid. But I figure this is a good lesson since he didn’t like being peed on, so maybe he will learn to tell me quicker. He is peeing on the toilet really well. He even goes at my folks without the little insert which is awesome. It means that we are well on our way to being diaper free! YAY! This weekend I think I will just suck it up and let him be in the underwear all day (except for nap). I have to do laundry anyway, so it makes sense.
It is going to be so nice to sleep in tomorrow. Not that it will happen. It will be that morning in which the boys get up at 3 or something. My understanding is Dax tends to get up at like 5. Of course, this seems to happen when he hears my car start in the morning. So perhaps because my car won’t be starting I will be in the clear until at least 5:30. Sad when I am excited to get to sleep till only 5:30.

It is supposed to rain on Sunday, which is exciting. I may need to crock pot some chicken all day so I can make my chicken noodle soup. My house will smell so warm and yummy.

Ok, in my Wiki reading this morning, I have just discovered that they plan on releasing a 3D version of Beauty and the Beast. That could be interesting. It will be IMAX, so how bad can it be, right? It will be on Blue Ray in Oct 2010, probably with the 3D version as well. Awesome!

Oh! And I have decided, my children need to be on Ellen. I have decided to start watching Ellen’s show (she is so funny!) and I see that she frequently has kids on her show. Sure, they all have a talent, but my kids must be able to do something, right? So I now need to find something adorable and wonderful that I can exploit so that they can be on Ellen. I just want the world to see them. Plus, I want to meet Ellen. Not too ambitious, right?

Last night, as I was tucking Bobby into bed, asking him about his day at Maria’s he informed me of how he had been bad and had not listened to Maria. This resulted in a time out. He then tells me very seriously, “Mommy, time out sucks!” Yes, my dear, yes it does in fact suck. LOL

Both the children were in fab moods when I picked them up, and all night, really. Such a nice change from the previous hell night.

With Bobby having his own backpack, it is kind of cool that both boys now take their own backpack of stuff to daycare. I like this much better. It means that also if Bobby goes with Ken, he has his own stuff in a bag. The two of them keep insisting on taking several things with them when they go anywhere, and a backpack will keep it all together instead of Maria and myself trying to round it all up when I pick them up. Plus, they will need a backpack soon enough with school fast approaching.

Ok, so not only is the boss out, another co worker is out, and another just emailed everyone saying she will be gone for a few hours. Dude, noon is totally seeming reasonable. Let’s see, Ken took Bobby to class, then he realized he can’t take him to the last class, so I need to come get him??? Hmm…..we will see.

I am now hating my hair. It is driving me batty. Sure, its long, it looks fine, but it drives me stupid.

New, but already mostly existing plans for tomorrow. LOL! Sabrina is coming to hang with us for a few hours so her mommy and daddy can work on her new house. I haven’t done a lot of baby sitting (ok, none), but I think I will manage now that I have kids of my own. LOL! Plus, I think we have a pretty good set up for kids to have a blast and not get hurt. So this is all good. I have to admit, the biggest thing that will throw me off is that she is a girl! I know, how stupid is that, right? But think about it, I have only been dealing with crazy and wild boys. Their plumbing is different, and clearly so are their brains. But I think we will mange just fine. LOL!

Actually, it is going to be interesting watching 3 kids. Ok, yes I did it before with Liam, but this will be on my own turf. It means I can see if I can handle 3 kids. Of course, Sabrina is easy, so really I don’t know how accurate that will be. LOL! I am going to bust out some arts and crafts stuff we got from the Braskins. I think that will be good. I will also probably try for nap time for everyone at the same time, which sounds like noon thirty, which works. Hopefully she will sleep just fine in one of their rooms. I think it will be good. Dax crashes, and Bobby knows how to be quiet when Dax is sleeping, so she will probably sleep in his room. Especially good since she loves her some Bobby. I am supposed to talk to Stephanie later today to work out the details on when she can drop her off. I figure she can drop her off whenever, and pick up should probably target no later than 5. That is the time in which my kids get more crazy, and it is a lot more effort to control one of them, let alone 2 and a guest.

I suppose I should straighten the house up tonight!

And really, not that the house is bad, but it might be good to go home at noon to just get a head start. We will see. When I talk to Ken, I will check with him on his schedule.


AAArrrrrgggggghhhhhh!!!!! I have Moon River stuck in my head. Not a good song, and one of the main reasons I did not enjoy Breakfast at Tiffany’s. How it got there, I don’t know, but it needs to leave.

I think that is a good sign. I just saw my coworker who had his 15 month old son here. I swear, kid always cries when I am around (this was always my experience with kids until my own). Any hoo, his cries didn’t put me into a spiral of wanting a new kid or even spontaneously lactating or anything. Could be that the kid was crying and not happy, but either way, it used to happen with both! Perhaps Ezra is not meant to be!
