Denise over at A Cautionary Talespin tagged me for some useless facts that substitute me sitting down & coming up with a real post. Thanks, Denise, for giving me an out today!
8 Things I’m Looking Forward To:
- Furniture shopping
- The Bear’s 2nd birthday
- Awesome Sister-in-Law’s wedding
- The Bear cheezin’ it up as flower girl in the wedding
- Summer clothes shopping…desperately needed because I wear a smaller size clothing now than I did before I got pregnant with Bear 2 1/2 years ago.
- Naptime
- Roo finally cutting those bottom two teeth
- Getting something done to the mop on my head. Momma needs a cut & color somethin’ bad. Seriously, folks.
8 Things I Did Yesterday:
- Stopped myself from strangling The Bear when she yanked out of my hand & ran out in front of a car in the bank parking lot.
- Daily Wal-Mart run.
- Started yet another dirty laundry basket, since I still don’t have a working washer or dryer.
- Read too many blogs during an almost non-existant nap time, managing to yet again put off unpacking boxes.
- Refrained from beating my head into a wall after The Bear said “Oh. Spank? OK.” I have tried every discipline method under the sun on this child & she all but laughs in my face each time.
- Met two of our new neighbors. One who has a little boy 3 months older than The Bear & a little boy the same age as Roo.
- Took the kids to playgroup-aka-Momma’s Sanity Saver
- Virtual-shopped for furniture for the new house.
8 Things I Wish I Could Do:
- Wave a wand & make this horrible tummy pooch disappear.
- Hire a maid. Horrible Stay At Home Mom, Party of 1? Your table is ready.
- Have the time & patience to grow my hair out. Seeing as how anything longer than shoulder length hair takes me an hour-plus to dry & straighten, that will never happen.
- Stick to making a menu & shopping for only that week on a regular basis.
- Get The Bear potty-trained allfreakin’ready.
- Have at least an iota of desire to do some exercise.
- Get that stupid double stroller already. I’ve put it off for the past 7 months but Roo is getting too heavy to carry in the sling & as noted by yesterday’s parking lot fiasco, Bear cannot be trusted to walk along side of me.
- Learn to sew.
8 Shows I Watch:
- Anderson Cooper 360. YUM. Enough said.
- American Idol
- Ellen
- Hell’s Kitchen
- Rules of Engagement
- Wheel of Fortune. Everyone’s got a little Old Lady in them, right?
- Noggin Channel-oh c’mon…you don’t really think I actually get that much control over the channel changer in this house, do you?
- Disney Channel. Please see above statement.
8 People I Tag:
- Caitlin at Everything’s Wonderful
- Em at Momma’s On A Diet
- Laura at Elephant Juice
- Ash at Here’s What I Know
- Beth at Momma Bear
- Jenni at Oscarelli
- Peggy at Stir Crazy in the Suburbs
- Evie & Chris’ Mommy at Raising Irish Twins
Geez. Why did I commit to using this much brain power so early in the morning? Why can’t Bear & Roo just eat their breakfast instead of screaming at me every 5 seconds?
But seriously. Do it. Or don’t. Or do it. So I don’t get my bloggy feelings hurt. Or don’t. Because I wouldn’t really get my feelings hurt.
Awww you’re so sweet to play tag!
Ya um, the exercise thingy… I’ve decided that gardening will be my exercise this summer lol. I’m so lazy!
Wii Fit! I love it! I think Bear would get a kick out of watching you do it, too!
I wish I could do the Wii Fit with Bear. Instead she stands next to me & tries to push me off the balance board so she can jump on it.
Wow, we don’t watch any of the same shows except for Noggin and that doesn’t count. You’re SMALLER than you were before you got pregnant? What the hell dude? Send me some of whatever you’re drinking since I need the same thing.
We’re following the 123 Magic book with Graham (only started about 2 months ago) and he stepped it up a notch in the “testing his parents” department. The book says some kids will do that so we’re staying with the consistent discipline. Still, it’s hard not to strangle the kid sometimes. Glad you met some new potential friends!
