I can TELL TIME!!!

So a couple of years ago I bought a cute watch that had little digital stick people on the face that danced or made the numbers out of their wee little bodies to tell you what second it is in the minute. Then after wearing it for many a day the little people disappeared. So sad, i just figured the watch had a bug... but I really didn't think the seconds were such an important thing to cause me to send the watch back the manufacturer... so on life went.

About 2 weeks ago the battery on said watch died. yaaaaay (can you feel the sarcasm?).

Let me insert here, I cannot function without a waterproof watch (no kidding they last about a week max). And the last time I took a waterproof watch to a cheapo place to get the battery replaced they busted the seal ...therefore making it no longer waterproof...therefore sentencing said watch to a watery death and eternal fogginess. Because of these two factors I took afore mentioned "stick people" watch to a jeweler to have the battery replaced.

Turns out they were out of the kind of battery it needed. :P BUT, they did order them in... and since my much needed watch was already at said jeweler, I figured... what the heck? So I left it for them to take care of.

Today I went and picked up said watch. And guess what? The thing took 2 batteries. Kinda strange... Guess what the other battery was for? The STICK PEOPLE. Yay, my little friends are HOME!

I know.... isn't it sad that I'm so excited about that?! :D

I know it's a little skuffed up... but I'm getting a little attached to the darned thing!

Late naps....

Hmmm. Dilemma.

So Missy My has started to get her nap later and later in the day. Now she starts getting REALLY grumpy around about 5-5:30 pm... her bedtime is around 7:30 to 8pm. Yeah, bad time for naps.

Sunday as we were headed home from my parents house about 20 min away from here she conked out. Believe you me, we tried to keep her awake. No can do. In fact once we actually got home Jer picked her up to bring her inside ... not over the shoulder in a comfy way, no, just draped over his lower portion of his arm.... dangling. And she stayed asleep. he even brought my attention to it and wiggled his arm around a little to display how asleep she was. Causing her to swing a little but to not even stir.

And here I was thinking we would feed the kids, play a little and put them to bed. HA! So into bed she went as I started to make a quick dinner for the rest of us. I thought. Hey! We can wake her up in about 20 min and she will be good to go to bed at her normal time and get dinner right?! Nope. Once dinner was on the table, both Jer and I attempted to wake her up. Nothing doing again. So we let her sleep... thinking maybe she would sleep through the night cause she was so tired.

About 9-9:30 rolls around and what do we hear? Yup. Missy My is awake. sigh. So I get her up, feed her, bath her (she was really dirty from playing outside at gma and gpa's house), and change her sheets (yup, she wet them). Then I proceed to have Jer take her downstairs to hang out with daddy for an hour or two till she is tired enough to go back to sleep. Then I crashed. I even had her tuck me in for a change!

Apparently she was up till 11pm, being really good and very agreeable, watching Jer play on the computer. Then she woke up at the normal time this morning.

She tried to do the same thing today, unfortunately for her, mom wasn't so willing to give up waking her up today. Man, was she grumpy when she got up at 6pm after only a half hour of sleep (she really needed it too.... shrill screams for no good reason every 5 min or so are REALLY grating!)

So my question to you is.... What would you do? She won't sleep any earlier... I've tried it, all she does is play in her room for a while (about a half hour or so) then use the potty and come ask for a potty treat from me (she is still potty training).

ROFL ...Kids...sigh

Great Website

ok, so I've been looking around for a while trying to figure out how to simple add a picture as my background here. Needless to say I had a hard time finding a site that explained how to do this on Blogger. Well, I found one. And dare I say it's a pretty good one! So if you want to truely customize your blog here is a site to help you!

Be warned I will be playing with my page for a bit so if it is different every time you look at it for a while, don't be surprised! :)

Early mornings and not so pleasant suprises!

Ok, so this morning Li woke up before the other kids. I had a hard time waking up and figured it was just the fact that I was up till a little past midnight last night... right?

Well, up I get, and I go in the kitchen to get Li something to eat.


Well, I open to blinds, because, hey! who doesn't like natural light right? Wait a minute.... NO! Not again!

So THAT's why I had a hard time waking up! Grrrr... If this stuff kills my flowers I'm going to be TICKED! :P

Clobbered

What is it about a parent sitting or laying on the floor that is a instant kid magnet? And same thing with cameras... as soon as a parent picks one up it's instantly "Mom/Dad can I see?" or "Take a picture of me!" lol I mean... REALLY! ... I often wonder what my kids would think if I pulled out my old 35mm camera. I mean, goodness! you can't even see the picture you just took. And heaven forbid that you actually have to wait a WHOLE hour (or *gulp* a WHOLE day) to see the pictures!

I made the "mistake" today of doing both, I picked up the camera and sat on the floor. Instantly I was a jungle gym! LOL

Networking

So, this may sound weird, but I was really kinda worried that my class wouldn't have a class reunion. nerdy I know, but i want to knwo what happened to everyone! This year is supposed to be our 10 year reunion. The girl that was our class historian went AWOL a while ago. I swear nobody I know has heard about her since WWI ... er Graduation.
Anywho, one of my friends emailed me to tell me that... yes we were going to have a reunion.


And that it wouldn't be the class historian who was doing it. Guess I REALLY should start trying to get in shape... this is as good of an excuse as any. Yay, she found out by going on Facebook. So, I signed up. Man, everyone and their dog is on that thing. And unlike Myspace I dont have to worry about figuring out how to program a stupid custom background :) Hooray, one less thing to use as a tool to procrastinate cleaning.
