Forced write numero dos.

I don't feel like writing. At all. But I have been on a roll lately and it only seems right that I continue the trend, whether I want to or not. I was totally sick last night, barf and all. If it weren't for the fact there are 4 1/2 weeks left and I am out of days and it would have cost me like $240 to be gone.... I would have totally stayed home. Ginger Ale and Zofran were by bffs today. I was pissed when I went to get Ginger Ale number 2 from the teacher's lounge today, only to realize some ass hole drank part of it and put it back in the fridge. I am totally making a fridge sign for tomorrow that reads: "Dear darling one who thought it was neccessary to steal and consume *part* of my ginger ale then place it back in the fridge, The soda you steal today, could be laced with Ex-Lax tomorrow. Be nice. heart, Karma." I'm attempting a delightful straight veggie salad with a vegan dressing tonight to see if it is nice to my system. I need a weekend, a day off, and a serious nap.

Recruiting helpers

So today I was thrilled to find flowers on sale. I bought a new watering can and Jax a special one too. He LOVED helping me water my plants today. He even got his hands dirty and helped me transplant the white geraniums. I mowed my ridiculous lawn and threw on some weed and feed. It was old, so I am hoping it doesnt fry my grass. Like.... bought before I knew I was preggo with Jax old... Then he helped me water it, because apparently I am too stupid to operate my sprinkler. I successfully watered one side of the lawn, then it got confiscated by the other adult that lives here and thrown on a top shelf in the garage. Good thing I am going to school this summer...I must not be fit for living if I can't run a sprinkler....but I teach kids to read. Go fig?

He did such a good job... he kept telling me, "Wanna do it like a big boy!" then he would water a bit, then drop the hose and say, "Ok! Momma's turn!" then after he got ancy-- wanted to be a big boy again. I love that he wants to help me. It makes my life easier all the time. He has such a good heart-- it fills mine up!

You suck at writing

Yep. I do. No blog since the New Year. Ugh... This one is uber forced, as I don't feel like writing at all right now (gasp!) My baby turned one though 4 days ago. I still can't capture it all in words, but I am remembering even through the insane tired new Mommy fog, the sense of absolute euphoric insane love I felt (and still feel) for my little man. It warms me up and coasts me through moments like this, when I really just want to hide under the covers and pretend that my dreams are real life.

Blah.

Blah is the word of the week....

1. My fridge stopped making cool water happiness and ice and lended to a horrid banshee shriek when you pressed the water button....

Solution? An old Sears repairman came-- basically told me I was an idiot for not replacing the filter that I knew existed, but I didn't have a clue where it was located... and p.s. there is also one on the wall connected to the water tubing. Who knew?

We have water, but no ice. Then the icemaker started to work.... but something is up with it. It's exploding water all over the freezer when it makes ice, which has cascaded a splatter ice sculpture all over the door.

2. My air conditioner broke. b-r-o-k-e. bro-ken. There isn't anything else I need to say. It's a record 105+ everyday.... it was 90 in my house. The. end. El Sucko.

3. My baby got a VERY bad tummy bug. When I say bad, I don't mean it lightly. I have been puked on and changed and smelled more poop then I ever care to experience. For a while... a long while. We had to make a VERY scary trip to the ER because he puked more than a drunken sorority chick with alcohol poisoning and went from peachy to corpse white and dehydrated in an hour. His poop test came back today...... positive for Salmonella. What.... the.... F%&^! How does your baby get Salmonella?

My feathers are ruffled. It's time for a tall glass of "Don't ask", followed by an even bigger glass of "homie don't...."

I need some glitter in my life right about........ now.
