puzzle time....

Don't ask why the title is called puzzle time, other than they say it on my son's favorite channel, "Sprout" all the time. So it sounded good. So I have to give Dirty Di a shout out, she just told me today she reads my blogs.....so thanks girl, and thanks for rocking it with my friday night, even though I missed the cupid shuffle, i got a little donkey butt in there!

The weekend was really good, even though I didn't get to go to the strawberry fest or islands of adventure. Friday night I had a sitter and got to join Diane and some friends out at the Bone to help Molly celebrate her birthday. (i don't think she'll remember though) Saturday we went to lunch and BJ's. I now remember why I NEVER go to BJ's....I spend too much money. This time I walked out with a little over two hundred dollars missing from my bank account. Yeah, and do you know what I have to show for it? Well, I'm not sure either! Some diapers and nutty bars...ok a few other things but nothing that will be in my house six months from now! So in my mind, there's nothing to show for it. Saturday night we went to dinner, yeah even after our late lunch. How much money I spent eating out this weekend makes me sick. Luckily Rich works next weekend, so it kind of evens out. We ate enough for this weekend and next. Dinner was expensive because we went to Tahoe's, Katie and I even shared our dinner and still left with 60 less bucks than we had when we walked in. Sunday Katie, Richie, and me went to walmart. I left richard sleeping on the darn couch. He said he was going to go but by the time I dressed myself and the kids, packed a diaper bag, he was still on the couch. So I put on my big girl pants and took the kids all by myself. Then I came home and to my suprise, I mean alot of suprise, Richard had cleaned up the kitchen (dishes, sweeping, and even used the swifter to mop, plus all the garbage was gone!!!) I should leave him alone in the house more often! We finished painting the bathroom and are now in the process of watching paint dry so I can put everything back in. Tonight we went to Aunt Todd and Diane's house for dinner. (it's not really aunt, but the way he cooks, i'm thinking he might be auntie todd...lol) The burgers and hot dogs were yummy. He actually buys hamburger meat and adds stuff to mix his own burgers! Can you believe that? I thought Bubba bugers were the only ones left in this world....well that's what you find at my house anyways! Its the best to get to be with great friends and have good food!!!!

So another work week begins. Blah...This is Rich's busy week. So we'll see each other Thursday night and that'll be it until next Monday. I'll see him a little Wed. but he has darts so I'm usually asleep before he's home.

My son just turned 9 months old....holy cow! I can't believe it. I was looking at him yesterday while we were on the floor playing, remembering what he was like when he was born and even three months, then six months. Where did this time go? He finally started making the Ma sound! I'm so excited. I'm not sure if he knows what he's saying, but it is odd that he only says it when he's upset. If he's hungry, ready to be picked up, or mad he starts crying and saying ma...maaaa ma ma maaaaaa....stuff like that.

OH MY GOODNESS...as I'm trying to type this katie is whinning. I feel bad for her. The poor girls has had trouble with going potty if you know what i mean so i gave her medicine earlier today and I think it's kicking in but in the mean time she is driving me nuts. Her stomach is hurting and she says she's shivering, and she's crying, and she wants me to get her this, that, and a bucket of stuff. I know it can be painfull when the meds kick in, but on top of it she's tired so it adds to the drama factor and that's when my nerve endings start to fray. I can't handle whinning. I can handle sick, I can handle hungry, but I can't handle tired whinning. I didn't get blessed with those genes. So I'm going to have to run so I can deal with her....wish me luck!
