Right Here in River City... er, Moon Hollow!

Beth is sick today. That means that I have been incredibly preoccupied with her. She is very clingy when she doesn't feel well.

Aren't we all?

Because of my constant involvement with a sick baby, I wasn't able to watch Faye as closely as I should have.

Apparently.

After lunch Faye invited a friend over. I figured that was great, as they could entertain each other, and stay out of trouble.

You would think I should know better by now.

I should know that:

Faye + no supervision = big big Trouble.

With a capital 'T'
and that rhymes with 'P'
and that stands for Potty!

They played quite happily outside for a few hours. Then they came inside and played for a while, and then it was dinner time, so we sent her friend home. When I was getting ready to put the kids to bed, I got a text from the neighbor girl's mom.

"My daughter told me that she and Faye had been playing in your shed, found a training potty, and they took turns using it. Poop and pee. I just thought you should know so when you pull it out to train Beth you aren't greeted with a shocking surprise."

Shocking surprise indeed!
"Ya got trouble, my friend, right here,
I say, trouble right here in [Moon Hollow]."

Hahaha! That's hilarious! Sara did something similar the other day- they built an "outhouse" in my sister garage when my niece (who's 10) told Sara that she couldn't use the real potty. Sara used a bucket as the potty... little stinker. And she's 7!

May I Take Your Order, Please?

I know that young people must have jobs. They have to start somewhere, but really, there has got to be some sort of intelligence test or guidelines before hiring people. Really. We bought some crown molding a while ago. I thought we would have enough. Turns out, as we were getting ready to put it up, we found we are about 5 ln feet short. Just 5. How annoying is that? So, I called Lowes and ended up speaking with a young man (I am guessing hoping he was young). The conversation amazed me. Me: "Hi do you carry any Trim-Tex crown molding?" Lowes: "What's that?" "A brand of crown molding. We are a couple of feet short." "Is that like a brand of baseboard?" "Well, yeah, sort of. Crown molding is decorative wood strip that goes along the ceiling." "Oh, okay. So what kind of tile do you need?" "Tile?" "To go along the ceiling, right?" "Uh, I don't need tile. I need crown molding."

I was getting a little worried. The baby had not changed in her weight or height for a month. Not since the 22 of October. My midwife was a little worried. She said if there wasn't a change soon, she would have to induce me. Did you know I wanted to go natural? Absolutely completely natural. I wanted to start on my own, and be completely under my own will power. Hearing that she would have to start me sent a cold fear through my body. Evidently, my baby possibly had something called IUGR ( intra uterine growth restriction) which could cause a myriad of problems, the worst being a still birth. A still birth is one of my biggest fears. So yesterday I went in to get checked, praying that my body had changed, that it had dilated on its own. If it had she wouldn't have to start me. At the appointment she gave me a choice. I could either have the baby yesterday, or I could have her on Monday. We decided to have her yesterday. So we decided my midwife would break my wate

Vegetarians at the Barbecue

We don't see our friends as often as we would like.  Something about us being the only ones married and with kids.  Whatever.  So any chance to have them all come play is a welcome one.  Since Jeffrey just had a birthday, we decided to have a barbecue tonight. We are having a barbecue and we don't eat meat.  Kind of ironic, isn't it?  When I thought about it, this video came to mind. Veggie At A Barbeque - Click here for the funniest movie of the week Have a fabulous Memorial Day weekend!
