....just breathe!
This is my motto for the week....to just breathe! I'll start with my lovely morning! About 4:30 AM, I was awoken by the dry coughing sounds of my baby girl. She climbs into bed with us and curls up to me. What a sweetheart! The girl sure loves to cuddle. Then it began...the coughing. Damn gas heat! After many drinks of water and a homeopathic cough drop, she finally got to sleep and we slept for a few hours, we then decided to get up. Low and behold, as I was hugging her, I felt something "gummy" on her back. OH NO, not the RED SILLY PUTTY that I got her for Easter!!!!!! YES! I had put it up last night but my DL (Dahhhling Husband) decides that it would be ok if she played with it before bed..."Maliah, I tried to take it away from her but she wouldn't give it back to me" HA! It's everywhere...her new jammies, her hair, her sheets and our sheets!!! This sucks, I don't even get a cup of coffee before I discover this. I got most of it out. It leaves a nice stain for ya, though. No more silly putty for us!
9:00 AM We've decided to get rid of our nasty ass carpet and graduate to ceramic tile and bamboo flooring! The ball began to roll today when the "man with the plan" (floor installer) came in to "tear it up". Boy oh boy...what a trip! Kailee is ultra excited, because while I was helping dude put our washer and dryer into our garage, I asked her to sit on the couch, (so that she wouldn't be in our way) she discovers that we had put the refrigerator in the living room. Ahh, every man's dream! ha All of the sudden, the girl is STARVING! She would've ate the raw cauliflower I had or the goat cheese salad that I made last night. Funny how, if you change things up a bit, how children will react. Maybe I should put her bed out there too? ;o)
Earlier, I set my "myspace status" to Cranky. I also put "I NEVER want to see silly putty EVER AGAIN!!" Well, I get this email from this friend of mine. We'll call her Mandy (thanks, Rho)
he writes "Why are you so cranky? You have no reason to be that cranky"
OK, did she not read the statement that went with it? Alright, let's back up here...a few weeks ago, I was really tired when I dropped Kailee off at MMO. The morning hadn't been real wonderful either. Well, just because I wasn't bouncing off the walls, she passes me and says "Get that look off your face and put a smile on it". Don't ask my why it irked me the way it did but I felt like saying "you have no idea, lady". She's also the friend who when Kailee peed in her pants less than a minute from asking her if she had to go, tried to tell me how to raise my daughter. I was going to punish Kailee by making her wear a pull-up. I was punishing her for lying to me...not for the accident. Mandy jumped me and said "you don't need to punish your daughter, yada, yada, yada" I stopped her and said "I'm her Momma, please stay out of it"
Mandy felt bad but kept trying to justify why I shouldn't punish her. Poor Mandy has a 6 1/2 year old that is still not potty trained. And I'm the crazy one, here. ha.
Don't get me wrong, I'll take parenting advice but c'mon.....
Well, I guess this is it. Better get to bed before the time comes when my little girl comes in to cuddle with her Mommy. Until then, I'm just going to breathe!
