OMG Ellie Mae, come look at this!

Ramblings and Ponderings

Still debating over new house.  We put a bid in on THE HOUSE and we're the back up offer, which means THE HOUSE belong to THE OTHER PEOPLE.  Still contemplating building but the build would be only a temporary house as that is not our ideal location.  I'm kinda thinking we should buy an ugly house in the ideal area and move to a better house in the ideal area later if we want.  That way our kids don't have to change schools.

I had mexican for lunch on an already upset stomach.  Not ideal but I wanted to have lunch with Mr. Crooked Toes and he had to have a quick lunch next door to the office.  So, emergency poop (term coined by sister) will continue.

Baby Toes is sleeping, you would think he was an angel. 

I've been noticing that I talk about my experience losing my father with others a lot lately.  Not specifically about the ordeal but how it affects me.  Like someone will be all "lately I've been realizing that I blah blah blah" or "I used to feel blah blah when blah happened" and then I am all, "yeah since my dad died I have realized that blahblahdeblahblah about myself too.  I'm sure they are all sick of hearing me say, "since my dad died..."  

Is that bad?

Do you think people are getting sick of it?

Does it matter?

Hmmm?

Rough Night

Sometimes there is a direct correlation between morning hair and what kind of night it was.

Yay for babies!

Today he turned the pages of his book one at a time, from front to back.  Clearly a genius.  Well, he did touch the dog and say "cat".  Maybe not a genius.

blahblahdeblahda cat

So I'm sitting in the floor with my baby and the cat is weaving around us and my son is mesmerized.  So like any other time that this happens I say, "cat...cat...cat...cat...cat..."  And today it happened, I HEARD "cat"  with a "ku" sound and a "t" sound.  YAY!  A real word not just  mamamamama or dadadada or bahbahlalaba.  Cat!  Then he pet the cat, like he had been doing...gently, oh so gently.  Then the damn thing bit him.  What the hell!  Broke the skin!  Now when the cat comes by I think we will practice....damn cat....damn cat....damn cat......

okay probably not...but poor little guy, finally said a frikkin word and his reward is being bit.  Cat bites hurt and then sting a little.  Oh well. Yay, he said cat!

In need of sleep and prozac

I desperately love my baby but OH my god he is WHINEY.

Sorry short post, baby just woke up......whining.

Hormone Shift

The state college that my dad worked at is having a reception thingy b/c they are naming the photo studio he designed after him. (He taught photography and pretty much developed their program.)  A pretty big company that he worked for is also naming their studio(that he designed) after him.  It is really cool that so many people thought so highly of him. He was great.  It makes me feel better to know other people miss him too.  Not b/c misery loves company but b/c it is kind of like sharing the burden of the pain.  

I started my period today and the intensity of my angry at God stuff is less.  Still there, just not so intense.

Husband and I are considering building a house instead of buying one.  The details aren't interesting but it is a big deal to me so ta da there it is.
