Reality Me

Category: Daily Life

Ramblings, often stream of conscious, journaling the events of my life.

  • Groceries

    Bio dad picked up the 3 older children and the 2 year old got down right offended. We went to Sam’s to stock up for the week.

    I need a container for some kersene. I think I’m going to burn my yard tomorrow.

    Nap for Amy is over. Did Tommy’s screaming contribute to a shorter nap? Who knows?

  • Delay

    Lunch break has me delayed. Doggone need to eat!

  • Productivity

    Cover letter written. Extends 1.33 pages but seems appropriate. Will be delivered with support documents this afternoon.

    Social networking exercised.

    Next step: marketing emails

  • Working

    Eric Clapton Unplugged is helping me get some cover letters and resumes out.

  • Idiocy

    I took the Mensa IQ Test and was very disappointed in my performance. Apparently I was dropped on my head as a baby. Thanks to Alice for the quiz link!

  • Hypnosis and screams

    Noah has been sucked into the tv.

    Amy is jolly. Spinning until she falls down, hollering and playing with toys. Occasionally sucked into the tv but can manage to escape its grasp.

  • Brilliance

    Amy goes to the end table where the remote controls are. She picks out the DVD remote control, begins jumping up and down shouting “Elmo Nemo Elmo Nemo Elmo Elmo Elmo” so I put in Elmo in Grouchland and just as it starts up she says “Elmo in Grouchland“! Astounding!

    While I am holding her she finds something on my shoulder she doesn’t like so she says “Dada eewww Dada eeewww” and swipes her hand at my shoulder to brush it off. I think it was either tears or drool from when I was holding her.

  • Awakenings

    Amy awakes and screams because her shirt is stuck over her head. I get her calmed but she cried for “mama”. All is better after some play time.

    My muse will leave me before I get word one typed.

  • Sarcasm

    I know you aren’t supposed to use sarcasm with kids and that it is a difficult concept for them to get and you really don’t want them using sarcasm; however, it is somewhat amusing to converse with Noah with an occasional sarcastic remark. He is so literal!

    N: dropping spoon on floor, dropping cereal bowl on counter

    D: “Noah, do you think you could make a little more noise?”

    N: pauses, turns head, looks confused “Did you say ‘more’?”

    D: “Yes” pause. explanation ensues

  • Cicada Talk

    Thanks to my brother and NPR I don’t have to record the Cicada’s. As a matter of fact, NPR has gone a step further and translated the Cicada talk!

  • A New Day! Let’s start the day off with a PayPa…

    A New Day!

    Let’s start the day off with a PayPal donation link:

    This Morning

    The muse has me but Amy is up. I think I’ll let her play in the room while I try to get this cover letter written.

    Last Night

    I was torn between wanting to work on the computer and lie in bed. A decent laptop would have come in handy. I diddled on the computer for a bit then wasted time watching the History Channel about recovering lost airplanes.

  • Cleared more of the sidewalk while cooking dinner….

    Cleared more of the sidewalk while cooking dinner. Would have probably gotten further but I overloaded the wheelbarrow and the wheel went flat. Removing the rest of the sidewalk should go quickly. What in the world am I to do with all this cement?

    After dinner Amy and I went for a nice walk. Cathy volunteered me to do it as a bribe to Amy. I stressed for a second then enjoyed the walk.

    What’s ‘appen’d ta da Int’rnet? Tis slow as one o’ Auntie Perls steries.

  • Tired

    I haven’t done a thing and I’m tired. I need a nap.

    Ah! Naked toddler…
