Randomness

Well, Emmy's face looks mostly normal again. The swelling is gone, she just has a couple of scabbed over mosquito bites and a bit of bruising. Thank you everyone for your concern and suggestions, I appreciate it! She is back to her cute little self.

My 10 year class reunion is in 11 days. I was attempting to lose 10 pounds. I gained 1. Hmmmm, must have been one too many chocolate chip cookies.

I am absolutely exhausted the past couple of days. Maybe my busy weekend is catching up with me. I don't even have the energy to write a real blog post.

And finally, the quote of the day:
"Daddy, you're the biggest tooter I know!" ~ Emmy

I agree, Emmy, I agree.

Excerpts from my Life

It s a busy week, but one of those busy weeks of doing nothing. A few blurbs from my life:


I took the kids outside after dinner a couple of nights ago, thinking they could just run around the driveway and ride their bikes while I watered the flowers and swept the sidewalk. Pooky was fine, he kept himself busy, but Emmy was following me around, asking questions, stealing my broom, etc. I was getting frustrated with her, since I was just trying to quickly get some work done, and I said, "Emmy, can't you just go play with your brother? Go ride your bike, or something."
Her cute little face fell, and she started crying. "But I don't want to play, I just want to help you!"

How is that for a bad mommy moment?? I felt awful, so hugs were in order, and I found another broom so that she could help. She was just so happy to be helping me... such a sweet girl!
**************************************************************************
Pooky's vocabulary is exploding right now - it is so fun to hear his "words". He is even putting words together, like "go bye-bye" and "Daddy hat". This morning he was playing with a small plastic dinosaur, and he ran up to me, grinned, pointed the dinosaur at me and said "Rawr!". Then ran away. So funny!
