  • any locals wanna go in on a 5gal bucket of charlie's soap? $0.12/load, but i don't think @ryan_burns will let me spend $160 on it myself ;)
  • btw, i'd be getting the powder, not liquid.
  • there's a hair in my soup. off to complain to the chef…..in the mirror.
  • Asher & I finally finished, "King Arthur & his knights" by Mary Macleod last night. Took somewhere around 8 months.
  • I think the knowledge gained in that book will add to the humor in Monty Python, Quest for the Holy Grail. I'd like to see it again.
  • Sometimes hard to choose between warm coat & raincoat. In this instance we should have gone w/raincoats…but did not.
  • http://twitpic.com/17sp81 – At mallards. Couldn't agree on a table
  • http://twitpic.com/17spli – Grace said her coconut & cookies ice cream tastes like these lights
  • netflix disobeyed me. arg.
  • 2010 Oscar Nominee: http://thedailyburns.com/2010-oscar-nominee/
  • .@ryan_burns rescued dinner tonight. If he hadn't been home early enough, we would've had nearly raw chicken for dinner.
  • my son often uses the word "cross" for angry thanks to the Jesus Storybook Bible.

They were playing one of their many imaginary games but I don’t know what the characters were.  Eventually I tuned back in see if there was play arguing or real arguing going on.  I looked over and Asher looked a little bewildered while grace was sitting on her knees, head in hands weeping.  It sounded like a fake cry, a very very sad fake cry, and I couldn’t really tell if it was fake or not.  I walked over and asked Asher what he did to his sister what was going on, but he didn’t seem to know.  They were “just playing and then she started crying”.   I knelt down and asked Grace if she was ok and head still in hands she sobbed, “I’m just sooo sad…”  Giving Asher the “you better not have lied about not doing anything to her eye” I asked why she was sad.  Looking up at me wide-eyed, tears streaming down face, “Because I am just a poor kid and don’t have any parents.  They died and no one has adopted me.” (or something along those lines.  It’s been a common play scenario for the past 6 months).

    “Grace, are you really sad and crying or are you just pretending?”

    Complete composure, wiping tears from face, “Just playing with Asher.”

    Following that was the oh so common, “please do not REALLY cry when you are just pretending” speech (it sounds very similar to the “you may only scream if you are seriously injured or about to die” speech), and sheepish apology to my son.

    Is this a common 3 year old skill or should I get the girl an agent?

  • only b/c i don't want beer breath when my friend drops her kid off to play in an hour
  • floss my kids teeth nightly, but my own probably 1x every other month. that would explain my mouth full of blood right now.
  • sheesh, the "personal information" paperwork is difficult. would be much easier to do it verbally. nowhere near finished & my brain is fried
  • It seems like the sun rising a bit earlier is waking the kids earlier…but they have blackout curtains. Hope it doesn't mean 4am in summer

  • @marusekmi dont ask. in reply to marusekmi
  • Um…it's snowing at costco…or hail…looks like dippin dots. A LOT of dippin dots…
  • @BhamBlackMarket I know! It's sunny & just snow now. Think it's about to stop. Weird! in reply to BhamBlackMarket
  • you'd never guess it snowed an hour ago, but we're having hot chocolate anyway. i'll take any excuse i can get.
  • used a tip from @meghantelpner & blended raw cocoa powder, a bit of water, chia seeds & honey. but then i stirred that into hot milk.
  • Hot chocolate http://pi.pe/-y0n73f
  • carpeted dining room. arg. massive hot chocolate spill. sorry landlord…. :/
  • @BhamBlackMarket interesting. looks like the entire outfit is my size. :) in reply to BhamBlackMarket
  • Just called poison control 4 the 1st time. Grace ate what she thought was hail off the ground but was something the lawn care people placed
  • Oh, sorry re: poison control: grace is fine. It was a minute amount. I figured she would be fine just called to be sure. She's fine :)
  • Just realized the Adidas sneakers I wore today were bought by my parents almost 10 years ago.
  • Asher, "Grace she can't right now. she doesn't have enough hands. I wish mommy had 10 hands. Then she could do everything all the time."
  • well, if you put it THAT way, i sure am glad i don't have 10!

  • so glad "the month of the never ending cold" is over & we all get to go to church together this morning! #fb
  • it never stops being funny that Grace regularly pretends that i'm her mother. she's pretending when she calls me mother instead of mom #fb
  • she also hides artwork from me ('for my birthday') in my underwear drawer.
  • So grateful for how quickly the kids go to bed & right to sleep w/o talking or getting out of bed.
