I <3 my kids

I do. They're just the most wonderfulest things evah. I love when they play together, and they just laugh and laugh. Usually about a body part or function. Like beans, or poop, or farts. But, that's what being a kid is about right?

Jonny brought me a HUGE weed/flower roots and all today. He was just tickled that I put it in an empty sweetener bottle I was about to pitch. It's on my table, it's really ridiculously tall, but it was worth it to see how proud he was. He told me he was going to marry me tonight.

We went to see Wall-E last night. I love Pixar movies, but I had heard that this movie was dull. I disagreed. Both kids were glued. Jonny got scared a few times from the noise, so he would dive under the table when it got loud. (we went to a dinner and movie place, which is why there was a table) At one point he looked at me with an awestruck voice and said "That.was.the.loudest.noise.ever!" He hates loud noises. At the bathroom there, they have a turbo jet engine you use to dry your hands. He was so freaked out by the noise, he couldn't even pee, becuase he couldn't hold his junk, and cover his ears at the same time. His noise sensitivity is probably my fault. I used to yell AWWWWWWWW MONKEY TOES at him when he was a baby to watch him cry. Yes, I know... I am evil. But, Jonny had and actually still has a perfect frown. It's too cute.

Today, they played in the sprinkler, and are now naked and goofing off, that will come to an end when party pooper daddy comes home. Right now, they're discussing CAR INSURANCE. I don't know why, but it's funny.

Today, I am probably going to do some running around. ALONE. Or, I'll take Aisy. She needs some special mommy time. I want to find her some more swim shorts. Not like the tight boy shorts kind, she likes the actual girl styled trunks. The only difference between the boys and girls, is that the girls don't have the mesh, they have a swimsuit panty thing in there. The one I got her is already too small, and it's of all things velcro, so it doesn't stay closed very well anymore. I also want to find wii fit. I NEED wii fit.

We're hoping today, Tony finds out what is going on with his leave. I called him earlier and he had his phone off. Probably so I wouldn't call and bug him about it, but I wasn't calling about that! My water bottle is missing, and I can bet dollars to doughnuts, that he accidently took mine, and put some disgusting fruit drink in it. My water bottle has had nothing but WATER in it since I got it. There is nothing more gross than having the slight taste of whatever drink was in there before mixed with your water.

Anyway, at this point I am hoping that MAYBE we can go back to our ORIGINAL plan of camping with our friends on the 1st and then hanging with fam, then I leave for girls weekend from St. Louis, then we go home. If we do it the way we have now with us coming in on the 5th, leave for girls weekend, come back, hang with fam more, we , well no I actually I would have NO time to hang iwth my friends back home. Becuase the following weekend we'd have to travel to get back home, and that just stinks.

Who knows though. It will all work out in the end. I kinda wish we had flown. I figured up gas, adn we'll probably spend about 800 bucks on gas alone!

My sister pointed out that I only seem to blog when there is something wrong with me. The funny thing is, I read through my blog earlier in the week, and she's right. Honestly though, these things I whine about ARE true. I just have a lot of shit going on with with my body at all times. Like right now.. my period. The horrible second day.

Miley Cyrus has HUGE teeth.

Right now, we're living in domestic bliss. Well, ok not BLISS, as Jonny is whining about Aislinn not wanting to play in the hose, and Tony is shirtless and sweaty eating a bowl of cereal after cutting the jungle that was our yard, while I sit here and slowly bleed to death. For once, Aislinn is the only quiet and content one in this house.

OMG I forgot about this

The other day, Aislinn and Jonny were wrestling and I overheard this conversation....

Jonny: Your teeth are really yellow EEEWWWW
Aisy: Uh uh!
Jonny: Yes they are!
Aisy: Nuh uh!
Jonny: Uh huh! Your teeth looke like Corn Pops.

Summer dreams

Can you believe that July is almost over? KUH-RAZEE I know! Aislinn will be going to school in like a month! We've already gotten most her school supplies since I hate elbowing people out of the way just to get to the pencils that are usually gone. I wanted it over and done with early.

Today, we had a very fun day. We went out with our playgroup and spent the whole day OUT OF THE HOUSE. I know right? Don't have a heart attack. Sandi.left.the.house. I've been doing that a lot lately.

We went to this little place... it's hard to explain, well ok not really, but you pay these people to let your kids play with their toys. Just think of the ultimate toy room. That is what this place was like. The best part is, you don't have to pick up after the kids! Someone does for you! It's like a kids wonderland. They can play, and change their little spazzy minds as their attention switches to something else, and no on is yelling "Hey pick that up!"

Actually, I commented that if I were to go to hell, my personal hell would be to work there. This place bumped pedicures in hell right off my radar. Having to pick up after kids all.day.long? No thank you.

They did have one worker that was OBSESSIVE. She probably loves picking up all day long. If a child walked away for a second, she put the toy up, and then the child would come back looking for their toy, and it would be gone. One girl on our group had a baby doll with a stroller. She would "park" it, and come back and the stroller would be gone! Dollnapped! After this happened a couple of times, she started carrying the doll EVERYWHERE. I would too if someone was stealing my baby!

I got to hold (and sniff!) and four month old today. No baby lust. I just sniffed her babylicious head, and let her gnaw on my fingers. Then I handed her back. It was nice. The handing back part wasn't even hard. I didn't feel the need to bite her cheeks, or hug her hard enough to make her soft spot bubble out, so that's good right? I was having some bad baby lust, but I think being around these younger kids (babies-toddlers) has kind of satisfied my need. I kinda thought that would be the case. Before I joined the group, I thought maybe I would take on a baby to care for during the day, just to give me that taste. Come to find out I didn't need that big of a baby bite. I'm glad I found out before I got myself into something that I would have regretted. I bet it's hard to play Guitar Hero with a baby here. I don't think a baby could sleep to Barracuda or Slow Ride.

Warning poo mentioned.

Tony came home last night. After the kids went to bed, we watched tv, and headed upstairs........where I tried to poop and he was alseep by the time I came back to the room. Hot! We're so old. It's ridiculous, he's been going 11 days, and it's like no big deal to not do it when he gets back. It is hard to do it when you're tummy is full of poo though, and then you talk about it extensively. I wouldn't want to do it with me either.

Seriously, my stomach is distended and bloated. I've gained three lbs and I know it's just from the poo collecting in my stomach. I don't know what has changed in my diet other than almonds. I haven't been eating them like I used to.

Today I am actually considering going to Wal Greens and getting something for it. I don't think I've ever felt this constipated before. I don't plan on taking anything drastic, just getting some magnesium. I read that taking a magnesium supplement will help with this, and that people taking calcium should take the magnesium.

I woke us this morning semi migrainy. I can't explain why, other than maybe from me starting my period soon. I had to cancel our play group and I just want to STAY HOME. I have been very busy this last week. Yesterday and the day before it was almost four hours in the van taking Aislinn to and from Williamsburg. It's usually only an hour, but with rush hour traffic it's much much more.

Aislinn was fine with it, Jonny was mad. But, you know, he can get over it. If I feel like it, I may go to the beach later with them, like later later. But that's a big IF. I may just decide sitting in the AC reading is better.

I rate this post meh

This afternoon, we dropped Aislinn off at Great Wolf Lodge. She was the only one without a parent. I couldn't go because I didn't have anyone to watch Jonny and he couldn't go, unless I wanted to pay for my own room. Yeah, that's not happening. She was fine with it, and I think she was happy not to have to hang around with her brother who would just want to bug her the whole time.

Jonny and I left, and I went to Starbucks and got an iced coffee. With heavy whipping cream instead of milk. I could tell the girl making it was thoroughly disgusted. Whatever, she can suck it. It was GOOOOOD too. I haven't had Starbucks in such a long time, it was a nice treat, and I just knew I was going to be stuck in traffic. I was right.

Jonny snoozed on the way home, it took us almost two hours to get there. We did some shopping, and then to the library, and then I got him McDonalds. He likes all the attention.

Then I just sat my butt down, and watched 27 Dresses (I give it a meh) and painted my toes and my fingernails which hello is so not what I usually do, but have been getting into it lately since I like have nails now. Even if they bend at all the corners for some reason.

Jonny is ready for bed now too. I told him he could sleep with me when he was bawling his eyes out about leaving Aislinn behind. He said he was going to miss her. He was seriously bawling his little eyes out! So, I hope he doesn't think I'm going to bed at like 11 tonight although I probably should so that I can get up early tomorrow to get ready for our beach outing.

I.Am.Exhausted.

I don't know how much more I can take of these horrible, horrible kids. Right now they're upstairs taking a bath. For some reason, Jonny won't Aislinn wash his hair, and I refuse to go up there and deal with it, because honestly I just don't have the strength. I really, really don't.

I just want to lay on this couch, with my down comforter and my book, and just STAY there for the rest of the night. But, no I can't.

We just got back from the beach. Granted it was me who wanted to go,and I would have stayed longer but Aislinn refused to wear a swimsuit to the beach, claiming she didn't want to swim. After much back and forth, I said FINE but she wasn't allowed to swim in her clothes. She could wade if she felt like it, but she wasn't allowed to swim. What kind of kid doesn't like the beach? Tell me? Anyway, we get there, to a new section we've never visted before, and of course Aislinn was kicking herself for once again being a stubborn mule. The waves were minimal, there was a sandbar that made the water clear, and you could see crabs and stuff. She kept going on and on about how she WISHED she could GET IN THE WATER. I would say back "I WISH you had listened to me when I told you to WEAR YOUR SWIMSUIT!" At one point me and Jonny went out kinds far in teh water, and she followed us, I told her "Sorry no swimming in your clothes" so she had to go back to the shore and watch.

Then on the way home, they asked what was for dinner and I told them bulgogi. She was like BULGOGI?!?! What's THAT?!? It sounds NASTY! I calmly told her that she says that EVERY time I make it, but usually end up scarfing it down. I said "You know the beef stir fry that's kinda sweet? You know what I'm talking about? She was like "Ew no! are you sure I like it?" and I said "Yesss Aislinn we always go through this" a couple minutes go by and I hear her like shudder and say "Uugggghhhh" I asked her what was wrong and she says "Beef isn't supposed to be SWEET!" we had stopped talking about this for a few minutes at this point, so it was just out of the blue.

I told her fine, she wasn't allowed to eat any of it. Then all of a sudden it was "No I want to" I told her no. That she would be kicking herself when she realizes what it is, and she is not allowed to have any. She begged me. I told her no. Seriously she can eat cold raviolis. She has got to learn to shut her mouth.

So, now they're in the tub an dhave been up there forever. I may not be able to do the bulgogi bit tonight anyway now. It's getting late. I'm tired, and they're taking too long.

When Tony gets home, I'm packing my book, my water bottle, and my mp3 player, and I'm going to go sit at the beach ALONE for awhile. Won't that be nice?
