Say Anything part 27

Re: Say Anything part 27
oh sinus pain does hurt... I am the queen of sinus infections... however... it's the whining about and swearing at anything within spitting distance that makes him a wuss. but even HE apologized last night.
and I have NO earthly idea how I got to 38 weeks!
If you figure out why let me know. DH can't understand why I try to run to the bathroom and shut the door before G can get there. Unfortunately I'm not very fast so I usually have an audience.
They don't follow DH in, but they always try to follow me. If I lock them out, they knock on the door and try to talk to me through the door.
"What are you doing mommy?"
"Why can't we come in?"
I always think if I stay really quiet they will go away. They don't.
I mean, seriously! Apparently DHs poops aren't nearly as fun to count as mine bc Joe never demands to watch him.
***can't believe I just typed that***
because man poo is stinky, but women poop rose petals and it's delightful and fragrant. duh!
jess, okay that is just all-around jerk behavior. sick or not, junk punch!
chase just sent me an offer in the mail:
i can get ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS! all i have to do is deposit $50,000 in a new or existing chase account.
oh my gosh, score. i was totally wondering what to do with the fifty thousand dollars i have just laying around waiting for a place to be deposited. chase is totally my hero!
*bwahhahahhahaaahahahahaaaaaa*
i really wonder why they sent ME this offer.

Ooooh poop talk. I popped in just in time.
Maddie used to want to sit in my freakin' lap every time i went poop. Now she wants to sit in the water closet with me. I guess that is what you call it. The toilet room off to the side of the master, which is claustraphobically narrow, so much so that DH doesn't like to go in there even though the toilet in the guest room is a kid-size toilet.
She sits on the floor and reads magazines or books or whatever she finds. Just has to be with me.
sigh.

I'm ready to eviscerate our lawn guys. They came earlier while I was putting C down for a nap. They had left by the time I got downstairs. I went outside and looked. In the backyard, they used the weed-eater, but there's no way in hell they actually mowed back there. I sent a text to the owner to let him know this was unacceptable.
Two hours later they returned. Again, out in the backyard with the weed-eater and a blower. No mowing. Before they left, one of the guys came to ring the bell and told me they had mowed out there earlier, gave me some line of crap about what the grass does when it's overcast and then the sun comes out, etc. But he said they'd "touched up" with the weed-eater.
I went back outside. There is just flat-out no way they mowed. I took pictures that I sent to the owner, along with the suggestion that perhaps he should come look at my backyard and tell me if he thinks it's been mowed. The only mower that's been run over this yard is C's bubble mower!
I don't pay them for the lawn guys to render their opinion on whether my yard actually needs mowing. I'm paying them to run the mower over my yard whether they think it needs it or not.
I mean, this looks like grass that has been mowed, right:
I love using the bathroom at work becuase I'm alone. The.Whole.Time. So yes, C does follow me to the potty. I swear that boy can be across the house and hear me start to pee and he comes running. It's because he thinks there will be TP on the roll that he can swipe and unroll. I've outsmarted him and keep it on the window ledge, but he still comes back.
Once DH whined that DS followed him to the bathroom and I told him to deal with it because he always follows me. He did make a good point, though, that if DS runs over and grabs his legs it could get messy. I told him to pee faster. Yesterday I closed the door on DS and he stood there banging on it and trying to open the knob.
The worst was when we had the stomach bug and C followed me to the bathroom when I went running to puke.
i'm gonna have to go with a big "YOU MISSED A SPOT!" on this one...lol.
maybe they just wanted tog et out of there so they could go to chase and deposit 50,000 dollars.

My personal fave is when we are in public and they come with me. Then they yell out Mommy's pooping even though I'm not. It's awesome. Then I have to argue with them.
I spent the good part of yesterday at TCH. I was able to do a tour of the 4 NICU units (amazing) and also met Dr. Jennifer Arnold. She is so kind and gracious in person. She gave us a tour of the Simulation Center and answered every question for our group. If you're an actor or know local actors, they are going to be hiring soon. The actors will be used for training scenarios. They are even looking for child actors. So incredible.
I can't wait to tour the new Pavilion next month. Even though I will never use their services, it is going to be a huge asset to the city of Houston, women, and babies everywhere.
I wouldn't have ever thought that a hospital would be on my list of favorite places. TCH is near the top.
This is good to hear. I don't need their services yet, but my Dr's practice is now part of TCH. My guess is if I do it all over again I'll be delivering there and not Methodist!
Homemade lemon pound cake, vanilla ice cream, and a glass of diet Big Red; it's what's for lunch.
Don't judge the Big Red was free with coupons
IMFUN I hope you're feeling better. Hang in there.
I want some homemade lemon pound cake... and vanilla ice cream. You can keep the big red though.
thanks Almond.
What's really awesome is when you're in the bathroom having a not-very-pleasant potty event and your child keeps coming in handing you boxes of cereal. Not that I'd know from experience or anything...
so glad you liked it!!! it's one of my favorite places too : ) when i was interning, they were building the CCC and I was in charge of giving tours.
in other news, whoever has the jaxbride voodoo doll, please take it out of jury duty swiftly and without incident. thanks in advance!

why is a flight out of austin $338, that connects in houston.
but, if i buy the houston leg on its own, its almost $500?
I must be superwoman. How else am I able to put a bowl of leftovers in the fridge after eating when it already has a piece of foil to cover it right there? It must be a daunting task.
so much eating it for lunch tomorrow.
Does the new moon affect moods? And/or does it have a powerful effect on menopausal women? Because the menopausal women in my life are particularly bitchy, argumentative, negative, and hostile today.
I thought the new moon was supposed to be calming. Maybe I'm calm from it so just more intolerant of the cranky mcrankypants today.
sigh.

yeah - i had texted him - luckily, he was on his way home already! I was sitting in the dark, nesting. lol.
I am having this problem, also. I am looking for a cheap int'l flight. The flight from Houston is about the same price as the flight from ATL, but you stop in ATL. I don't get it! I was hoping to use a free SWA flight to ATL and get a cheaper flight out. It's annoying!
Confession: I happened onto the FB page of my first love's wife yesterday, (he's not on FB) I've never met her and haven't spoken to him in many many years. She's apparently a sorority sister of a girl I went to school with, she popped up in the "people you might know" and the uncommon last name caught my eye. Looking at her pictures of him with their two kids my heart did a little flip flop and landed in my stomach, a very uncomfortable feeling.
