Sunday Night Summary

I figure if I try to write at least once a week I will be doing pretty good with updates!

• Erin is FREE today - translation - THREE! YAY! She's so cute. I love three. I said that about two as well but every stage is so dang cute and funny. I can't help myself!


• Christopher went to physical therapy this week. She said he looks pretty good (the dr.s thought he was turning too far to the right - tortocalis or something like that). Anywho, we'll just check in every 3 weeks or so and we have some little exercises to do with him in the mean time.


• Christopher is rolling from back to tummy like a maniac this week. Even with his brace on!


• Kate is still in tee-ball. Her first game will be Saturday! Her team name is the Heat. They're ready to BRING IT.


• Josh is training for the strike this week. We're both thrilled. *sarcasm*
• I had hot salty fries this week and burnt the top of my mouth.
• Christopher slept through the night twice this week! I still woke up, of course, hoping he was still breathing. It's the strangest feeling to wake up and realize you haven't heard the baby in hours when you're used to at least a few fusses here and there. Phew. We're almost there...

Sunday Night Summary

• Erin cut her own hair today. Took the kid scissors into the playroom, came back in about 5 minutes with a look on her face like she was so confused and said that her hair fell out. Fortunately we can't really tell, except for the hair on the floor. Hysterical, yet maddening.


• Christopher better nap for daycare this week or I'm going to lose my mind.


• Valentino is too tan. Way too tan. He was on Oprah this week. He doesn't look so good in HD. But you know, if I made billions of dollars designing dresses, I might tan like that too.


• AT&T is on the verge of a strike. I'm on the verge of striking against AT&T if they go on strike and make Josh go to work in OHIO temporarily. @#$%& Stupid union. Don't get me wrong, I think they have a valid point. You shouldn't give up what you already have because you will never get it back i.e. - good benifits, wage increases, etc. but it's really screwing with my head right now.


• Went jogging/walking today. Returned 15 minutes later because it was too cold and windy and I couldn't breath. Hmmm... Need a better plan...


• Erin will be three on Sunday. She is so cute.
• Kate is playing girls softball tee-ball now. She has made a little friend named Cece. That's all she likes about going to practice is that she will get to see Cece. This drives Josh crazy. All I can say is she's 6 and it's a girl thing.


• I should be in bed.


• Christopher had a foot appointment on Wednesday. He just has to wear his brace for 24 hours for another week then we can just put it on him for 12 hours (at night while he sleeps and naps - IF HE WOULD EVER NAP).

Christopher Coos

Christopher was cooing like a maniac tonight so I had to share. The sound isn't great so I don't think you get the full effect, but just imagine the cutest sounds you've ever heard in your whole life, and that's what he really sounds like. He is 4 months old now. He weighs about 13 1/2 pounds and is 23 1/2 inches long. He is shrinky dink compared to our girls. Dr. Nunna said she could see a remarkable difference in him since his 2 months appointment (as far as his awareness and attentiveness to us). We are noticing this as well. He laughed for the first time yesterday. Like one of those hearty, gut laughs that make everyone else in the room laugh. Josh has been off for two weeks taking "bonding time". He goes back to work Monday and Christopher is off to daycare for the first time next week. I am hoping he does ok, my main concern is if he will sleep for her, but if not, then maybe he'll sleep for us all night. Ha!

Mmmmm Hot Fries...

Why do I continue to stuff piping hot french fries in my mouth even though the skin on my finger tips is bleeding from the burns and my tongue is screaming with pain? Because they're hot, that's why. They will be cold in approximately 29 seconds, thus I must stuff them in my mouth and enjoy them hot. Or not enjoy them. Tear up from the pain, actually. Can't even taste them because they are too hot and I have to kind of whistle through my lips to cool them off so that they don't scorch my larynx. I know my throat has the Rocking R Ranch symbol branded down the left side because I have to tilt my head so only one side feels it. I barely even have time to salt them before they get cold. This is unfortunate because salty hot fries are even better than hot fries. Driving and eating hot fries is dangerous because my fingers are greasy and steering is hard. It does not stop me however because I must exit the drive-thru before the fries get cold. And now I only have 27 seconds to eat hot fries.

Pet Peeve

The word is FRUSTRATED. Not FUSSTRATED. Why do people leave out the R?!
