Well the plan was to post after I published the pictures on my previous blog but the days have passed and I am over it. I am at work today - a perfect day to blog but I seem to be coming down with a cold. Lucky me.
We went to a Halloween party with Aunt MaMa (one of my sisters) and the kids this weekend. P and A had a blast. They love being with their cousins.
All P wanted to do was dance dance dance!! He loves music. He won a 'party animal of the night' necklace from the DJ! That's my boy!! G-d help us! I have a feeling he will be the life of all future parties he attends if he continues to shake his tailfeathers!! The second we walked into the gym, he started dancing. By the time I maneuvered my pink poodle (better known as A) and dug the camera out of my bag, I only got the very end of the dancing and by then he was also scanning the room and losing the beat!! Also, I had the camera turned and you can't adjust the image on th video so be prepared to tip your head to the side!

Can I have chocolate milk now?
Why is it that routine is good for kids but gets us adults into trouble?
R always puts my keys and my computer in the car on the mornings that I work. This morning, P was having a fit because he wanted chocolate milk. I had to put some stuff in the car so I carried A with me and put some stuff in the front seat. The second I was about to walk back up the steps I heard a SLAM and thought to myself HELL NO! I ran back to the car to get the keys and of course they were not in the car. I ran back to the door and told P to turn the handle. No go - that didn't work. I could see my cell phone ringing and could see the words 'Hubby' on the screen. I tried to tell P to grab the phone and open it but no go with that either. Amazing - he answers the darn phone the times I don't want him to answer. I thought about going to my neighbor's house (yeah you JB) but then thought despite it being two doors down, it seemed painfully far away with a 2 year old in the house alone. I waited for R to come home from walking the dogs and waited and waited and waited. I thought about going to Z's house but that too seemed too far away. I was panicking but trying to stay calm. Whenever I would look in the window, P would yell, 'I want chocolate milk.' I was actually glad he was hanging on tight to the Ovaltine container - if his hot little hands were on the can, he wouldn't touch anything else. Anyway I decided to just watch him in the window and wait for R to get done walking the dog. Right when I walked up to the door to accept defeat, he turned the knob. I stuck my foot in the door so he couldn't shut it again. He looked at me and said, 'can I have chocolate milk now?'
So, tomorrow I will not count on my keys being in the car, nor will I run out to the car.........without unlocking the door first of course.

Chomp Chomp
Here I sit at home attempting a blog - - except R is chomping on chips and A just started crying. Apparently blogging at home is not going to happened. R gets up from the chair and stops the chomp for three seconds only to hand A a toy and continue the munch. This blog thing is not happening today at all!

Anniversary? What Anniversary?
On the way home from work yesterday at 4pm, P and A fell asleep in the car, transported into the house and slept until 6pm. I tried to wake them but they were knocked out. So instead of resting myself or cleaning, I decided to catch up on episodes of Weeds. I watched 3 1/2 episodes and then came to my senses that while this is fun and games now, trying to get them to sleep was going to be a far cry from the relaxation I was feeling at the moment. Anyway, I woke up the kids and we ended up having a fine dining experience at Noodles and Company and by the way - - they serve wine! It was a beautiful night. We took a nice walk after dinner and let P run around. (He loves to run now - he goes 'running' with his daddy and by the way, he runs fast)!
Later that evening while back at home, I found myself in the steamy shower giving a good back scrubbing to THE DOG!! Chino decided 10pm last night was a fabulous time to roll in something HORRIBLE in the yard and run back in to share it with her pack! When I say she smelled horrible, I am putting it lightly. It was the worst smell ever! The whole time I was thinking, 'thank G-d I am not pregnant right now' because that smell would have been even worse then unbearable. After cleaning the darn dog, scrubbing the heck out of the bathroom and myself as well, it was time to go to bed!! (I thought about taking a picture of her nasty dirty neck or her in the bath but came to my senses)!
I put the baby gate up so the wet dog and her four legged siblings, couldn't get into the room while we slept. At any rate, Chino sat outside the gate and cried last night!! Until I get her to Petsmart for a real bath, she is on her own at night!! And since misery loves company, I figured the other two pups could keep her company.
Anniversary? What Anniversary? Although I have to say, I would be very sad if we were celebrating our wedding Anniversary and didn't have the confusion that comes along with the territory! This is what I thrive off of every day! The more hectic, the happier I am!!

I am back...
Hello Cyber Friends -
I am officially back in business. I decided to add a picture of my momma with A today to light up the mood of this post!! I love this picture and minus the large cheeks of A, they really look so much alike!

The past week (or so) brought me pain, tears, anxiety and laughter.
PAIN - I had those 'gall bladder' pains a couple weeks ago again and sat in the hospital for 6 hours!! All was well with my heart! MY HEART you may ask? Yep, my heart. They checked my heart. Now I am seeing a GI doctor and he is trying to get to the bottom of it (no pun intended) but I figured until I have another attack, I am done with tests! I had to have the CT Scan where they injected my veins with dye. They don't exaggerate when they say your entire body will burn for a couple minutes! That was horrible and I couldn't nurse Snarfy for 48 hours. R did make a point that the time we spent in the hospital was only the forth time (and the longest amount of time) we have been alone in the last 2 years!! Not complaining - just a valid point!
TEARS - My very good friend's dad passed away. He had a stroke back around Easter and never really recovered! When I say he was the nicest most wonderful man I am not exaggerating! His smile, laughter and energy will be missed gracing this earth!! There are four girls in my friend's family and from the second I met them, they all became an extension to my own family. Seeing their sorrow and pain was beyond horrible. Two of the girls just had babies within the last year and it makes me so sad that they will not know this wonderful man first hand! With their stories and pictures he will live on but so beyond words!
ANXIETY - My dad went into the hospital the day of the wake of my friend's dad. His heart rate was 160 and wouldn't go down - even after 5 medicines in ER. After a couple days in ICU, all is well.
LAUGHTER - My lovely niece and one of my fabulous nephews came into town this weekend and we spent time together on Saturday night. We had a surprise party for my sister and it was nice to all be together. Well, not all of us - - dad had to stay home (doctor's orders) and one of my sister's was very sick and couldn't come to the party (although her husband did come and brought the kids so it was nice to see them) and all the nieces and nephews didn't make it either BUT there was a representative for each family.
Today is our anniversary. We will be going to dinner with the kids this evening and planning on going out alone Saturday night - - SISTAH SUE - DO YOU WANT TO BABYSIT?? Anyway, that is what has been going on in my life. I am back at work now and since I missed last week, I suppose I should be working and not blogging!! Until next time cyber-friends....

How much for a pumpkin?
Okay, I had to add one more post today. We went to Lamb's Farm this weekend and we planned to pick up some pumpkins. I picked out three and then noticed writing on each of them. One said 12 the other 8 and the last one 6. I looked around and realized they meant DOLLARS. Are they out of their minds - - - don't answer that! Anyway, we took some pics with the overpriced orange balls and bought the three in front of our house at Jewel where they were $4.99 each.* I am all about supporting Lambs but I do that when I buy the passes to ride the train and all the other 'fun' activities.
Are you on duty BABE?
I warned R that he would be the topic of my blog this morning and here it goes. Last night we are all in the family room. The kids are playing on the floor, R is watching football and I decide to go on the computer and do a blog posting. I figured there are two parents in the room - the one watching football can also watch the kids. I have to admit, he is getting better at multi-tasking but he is not there yet. Close but not there.
Every time I would look at the computer, he would say, 'J - watch it' or 'J-Here comes P - watch A' or my favorite 'Babe.' The one word alert to get my attention. Okay, if you are watching the kids, WATCH THE DARN KIDS!! Don't harass me!! I finally decided that posting a blog, looking at email or catching up on my friends' blogs were pointless. I would have to save it for a work day.
So, I get back on the floor with the kids. It is then that R decided he is still on duty and continues with his 'J - watch it' or 'J-Here comes P - watch A' and my favorite 'Babe.' I try to explain to R that the kids survive the other 99.5% of the time they are under my watchful eyes so he need NOT warn me when I have a two year old barreling at my 9 month old at full force. No shit babe - here comes P after A because she is touching the Mickey Mouse Playhouse. Here he comes because she is crawling towards something and we are not sure what it is!! Most of the time, P is very nice to her so I like to give him the benefit of the doubt and wait until the last possible second before I pick A up out of the ring. I have taught P that if she has something he wants, he needs to replace a toy for her in her hand right away before snatching his toy away from her. Plus, A can hold her own. She is like a little Weeble when he tries to push her away from the Playhouse. She bounces right back up and grabs what she wants. She even grunts now and pounds her hands when he makes her mad. Great - my 9 month old is having little fits already! My little Ms. King Kong does not mess around.
I guess the moral of this post is that us girls can hold our own! I am handling my business and so is A! We got it under control!!
