Friday afternoon random thoughts

[sonrisa]

Deep thoughts on raising a two year old: It's all about the long con. 

What are your random thoughts this afternoon?

They haven't called me since my job interview yesterday, but I feel like I rocked it. I was really hoping to hear something before the long weekend. I know there's at least one more stage to the interview though.

I can't believe my baby starts Kindergarten Tuesday. I blinked and 5 years flew by. How is that even possible? I might have a drink tonight.

I was looking at my foot today and I found myself wondering if we're ever going to evolve to have more toes. Deep thoughts.

Some people do. And/or more fingers.

I've always heard that we could evolve to lose our pinky toe. But our feet would look so weird without it.  Also, doesn't the pinky toe help with balance?

Have a second for me. DD just started preschool.

I know, I just mean, like, everybody. Lol. I'm talking about that nubby part by the pinky toe. Maybe there's another toe on the way...

I need a life.

I ordered a book from Amazon for the baby that I ended up finding kind of stupid so I decided to return it.

Amazon said "keep the book, we'll refund your money anyway!"

Oh Amazon, I love you.

We met Adams kindy teacher today. Adam stood outside the class and didn't want to go in! There was, like, a line forming behind him as his little ass blocked the doorway that he couldn't bear to enter.

I did ok but just as we were about to leave, after we found his desk, pencil case, ruler... I looked around the room and my nose got that stabby-pain-you're-gonna-cry-feeling

But I held it together!

If we do, it will be the death knell for pointy toed shoes.

Now I'm wondering: why is my nubby part so much more prominent that DD's? Is it an age thing or a life-of-shoe-wearing thing?

Actually, evolution points toward the extinction of the pinky toe, not inclusions of more

When I read the letters DS I hear Dear Son in my head. But DH in my head is Dee Ayych not Dear Husband. Why is that?

I always hear the letters or "fissile" / "missile" "sissile" for FIL / MIL / SIL

I just complained that two of my orders this week took three days instead of two w prime and they refunded prime.  $80

i have a love hate relationship w amazon, but this was a definite plus.

I am so annoyed. I'm annoyed b/c I have cramps, I'm annoyed b/c of the dumb fucking peanut allergy fight on FB and I'm annoyed at my H.

I brought up keeping our house and not moving. It's been listed for over 2 months, no offers. I wanted to make a list of what we would do to the house, if we stay. I thought it would be fun but he was a debbie downer. We have now agreed to leave it listed through the end of October and then re-assess. I just wanted to make my liiiisssssst!

Lists of potential projects are fun!

I have so much organizing to do and I don't want to do any of it. Not like tonight. Ever. I wish I had a personal assistant. Not just for organizing, I'm tired of running my life but I don't want to surrender control. I think having a personal assistant is the closest thing to having all of the freedom of being a kid with all of the agency of adulthood.

[papie]

We are having friends over for dinner tomorrow and the idea of needing to have a decently organized house, go grocery shopping and make dinner is killing me. But I know it will be fun and worth the effort.

[agnes]

I think I have strep

It's called "This is not my hat." I ordered it because my SIL gave us a book called "I want my hat back" that is SO funny and by the same author. Everyone read it at my shower and was in tears. I (wrongly) expected his other book to be just as funny. 

ETA: The baby is going to think we are really strange parents, because obviously she will not find the book funny. But, it's a kid book and my H already can't wait to read it to her.

This has happened to me quite a few times! I never thought to complain, but now I want to.

My mom is pissed at my dad. All he has done is sleep. He had surgery. He is exhausted. He's drinking water and fluids. She practically wants to shove food in his mouth. She is getting on my dads nerves.

I get that he should eat but she needs to calm down a little.

I'm really proud that I held it together when we met N's kindergarten teacher on Wednesday evening. But I can't think about it too much, because then I lose it. She told me the other night "mommy, don't worry. Even though I'm going to real school now, I'll always want to come home, and I'll never ever leave you."   I have no idea how I'm going to send her to school on monday the 9th, and then drop off E later that morning at pre-school.  No mascara that day, for sure. 


I've also gained a new appreciation for Caddyshack.  There's a damn mole in the back yard, and I'm going to lose my mind trying to kill that thing (sorry scotty and other animal lovers!).  It is taunting me, for sure.

I wish when people update posts, that they would all update in the OP (not on like page 2 or 5 or whatever).

DS pooped in the pool during swim class today. They had to shut down pool and cancel the following classes because of it. I was mortified. This potty training business is for the birds.
