A summary of this and that....

It has been so long from my last post that I really don't know where to begin. My cast of humble readers has dwindled down in boredom so I write this post today for me.


First off, this kid right here, Mr. Cole, lost his first tooth without even trying and boy are we grateful. Hot dogs are amazing like that. He aslo turned the big- SIX. I will redeem myself and post a separate blog for that special occasion!

Good things from this very Tuesday and as of late :
-Kate slept through the night which was a special treat for her eternally sleep deprived mother. She's still a delicious doll baby but those top two front teeth (which are taking For-Ev-Er to arrive) have been preventing her halo from shining.

She's also holding her OWN bottle and I truly thank her for that.


-My sheets are changed ('cause it's Tuesday) and last weeks are already clean and put away.


-I have crossed off #s 1-3 on my morning to-do list.

-I tried Fiber One cereal this morning. Beautiful Bob Harper said it's a great cereal blah blah blah. Not bad with a whole lotta raspberries and a banana slice here and there. Not good plain, the texture is atrocious. I don't know Bob.

-I had my treadmill time, limited and repeatedly interrupted but done none the less.

-I ate lunch that consisted of protein. Always hard for me and so important.



-Got the big boys off to school with happy attitudes, non pukey stomachs, and less snooty filled nostrils. I took Jack to our ENT dr. who confirmed that yes indeed his ears, nose , and throat are all on the fritz and his tonsils and adenoids need to be removed with a little ear re-tubing on the side.... Awesome. It's a small price to pay if it will finally put an end to his snot MADNESS! Everyone is all cute at Costco till you zoom in on the poor boy's schnozz. And if you think it's fun watching him eat and not be able to breathe....try listening to it....for weeks. Thumbs up for surgery!!

-Listening to Brody role play with his action figures and legos.... the potty talk continues even with Buzz Lightyear.....and it's funny. I do enjoy a funny 3 year old.





-The rug I've been dreaming about.... the one that would be perfect in every way... except for the the gigantic price tag.... the one I would purchase instantly if I had a lovely wallet full of rug buying money.... is sold out. Ah, in a sad, pathetic sort of way......makes me feel better.





So for today I will leave you all with this little diddy that Brody is currently singing while playing upstairs,

"It's better to be baaaaad, or good, or bad"


"It's better to be baaaaad, or good, or bad"


We always leave ourselves options around here.

I'm still reading! Your posts show up immediately on my Google Reader, so I can enjoy every word almost the moment you click Publish. It's awesome.

Hooray for ENT's and diagnoses and forthcoming surgeries (amazing, I haven't lost all of my rhyming abilities)! How are Cole's (is it Cole?) allergies? Has the adjusted diet done anything to help?

Your Kate doesn't sleep through the night either? It seems to be the first question other moms ask me, and I feel like a total loser that I still have to say, "No, she still wakes up 2, 3, 4 times a night.", and then I get to hear all the pitied exclamations of "I'm SO sorry," when really, they just mean, "Sweet, I'm glad MY baby does!" Plus it's awesome to have a baby who takes neither a binky or a bottle and who solely relies on her mama to put her back to sleep.

Sorry, enough venting. I know you're tired. Way to go on the Fiber 1 choice! I'm trying Kashi and yogurt for breakfast, and eliminating all desserts. It's difficult.

I'm sorry about the rug, but there IS something comforting that if you can't have it, NO ONE CAN! :)

P.S. Do you know Jessica Romney, and if so, how?

I, myself had wondered if Bob was on the right cereal path, or was leading us astray with the Fiber 1...perhaps you could wash it down with a G-ma Bev cold prune soup or carrot/pineapple juice special?? Just a thought...
Oh, and another thought, how about coming to see me??!

So sadly funny about the cereal. The built in commercials on Biggest Loser crack me up. Thank you for sharing your feelings so I don't have to wonder about the cereal. But if I hear Bob or Jillian talk about Extra sugar free gum one more time...

Your kiddos are darling as ever. I wish you sleep and successful ent surgery experiences!

Oh that Fiber One is AWFUL!!! I can't bring myself to throw it away, but it is baaaaaad!

So if Kate gets her two top teeth before C, I'm getting the little dude some baby dentures. He still only has his two bottom teeth and the kid is 17 months old!

I just don't like fiber one cereal. I do however, like fiber one bars and fiber one yogurt and fiber one cottage cheese. I can't eat them however. I would not recommend eating them either unless the consumer is all alone for several days in a row. BELIEVE ME.
As far as potty talk goes, let me tell you a funny story about the church toilet sometime. FUN-NY!!!
