UPDATES!
You know, I’m not knitting right. I want to, I really do. But nothing is keeping my attention at the moment that I am in LOVE with. Thats why I am going to do the sweater.. I think I’ll love the challenge of it. Remember if you haven’t yet.. comment on the 2YEARS post below and I will pick the winner and the yarn this week.
So, update #1. Soccer. It was yesterday. Yes, the teacher did indeed show. But, that’s all about all she did. Here I was under the impression that it was a teenager full of attitude..but it was a lady older than me who didn’t know what the hell she was doing. A bunch of 3 & 4 year old girls running around and all she did was say.. hey you.. kick toward that goal and you kick toward that goal. That was the whole ‘class’. Oh and wannabeUBERmom? She was there. With her daughter, who’s 4, who was riding in a stroller, fast asleep through the entire 45min class. Who took out her nonstop eating baby to feed her on the gym floor (ofcourse, right?) and let her crawl while the girls were playing soccer. AND THEN IT HAPPENED. I (semi) cracked. She asked me to watch Mia, so she wouldn’t step on her baby. I stopped. I even said. “pardon me”. She said it again. “I just don’t her to run over ______.” {I can’t remember that baby’s name} Anyway. I took a deep breath and said, yeah.. I wouldn’t want Mia to get hurt. and I did a nice F U smile.. you know the one. The baby continued to crawl where the girls were playing and I told Mia to just play like the baby wasn’t there, because SHE SHOULDN’T BE CRAWLING AROUND THE ‘FIELD’ TO BEGIN WITH!” Is she stupid? Really? What doesn’t she get? I hate her.
Update #2. The birds. They are two days old now. And already getting bigger.
Today they are sleeping a lot and haven’t been as noisy as they were yesterday. The mom & dad however are very loud and have been singing all day. The babies still can’t open their eyes but they have sprouts of little feathers here and there and they are just the cutest things ever. I told my SIL, that I almost want to regurgitate food myself for the little guys. Almost.
Update #3. I haven’t wrote about this yet. But today.. I am going to share with you.. my toe. A couple of weeks back my 2nd toe on my left foot was hurting every time I ran. One day, Mia noticed that even under the nail polish, it was a different color than the rest. Hmmm. She’s right. I removed the nail polish, only to find a gnarly, nasty, black toe nail. Supposedly you get this when you run… or up your speed or your mileage. Well, I have done all three in a matter of the last month, so all my toes should be black at this rate. It’s gross.. but in a deep demented sort of way, I’m kind of proud of it. A little reminder of how far I’ve come in this dreaded exercise bullshit.
That’s about it from this tired old lady. It is a beautiful day here in Massachusetts and I’m off to blow bubbles with my favorite 3 year old in the whole wide world.

There has got to be something seriously wrong with that Y mom. What kind of mother would put their baby in harms way?? I feel for you, must be very hard to deal with that!
Your babies are so cute…we have 3 eggs today. I love that you are giving me a preview of what’s to come …. hopefully

Oh and congrats on your “black” toe - yay for you

Your tosies are so cute! You know, I really want to kick that woman’s ass, don’t you? I’m hating her from afar. Love the birdies :>

Nice to see the birdies are doing well. Good for you for holding your ground at soccer. If I were you though I don’t think I’d go back. It sounds a bit like a waste.

Gee, I hope your toe doesn’t fall off. If it does, wrap it up nice and give it to UberMom.
May 15th, 2008 at 4:45 am
okay, the toe is…well, ewwww. sorry. And I hope the doctor manages to save it. hahaha!

Be well, toenail. Be well…
As for uber mom, act deaf next time. Start signing to her (and by signing, I mean use your special “bird” sign.) That lady is kookoo nutso!!

Ubermom is too much. Am I understanding this correctly - that the child who is supposedly taking the class, and the whole reason behind Ubermom showing up in the first place, spent the entire class sleeping in a stroller? Insane.
So, what happens to your toenail now? Will it fall off, or will the black part grow out? How bad did it hurt? (I ask because supposedly I’m working on my own exercise regimen, and stepping it up and whatnot, and there may be running involved down the line. I am *very* squeamish, so if that’s what I can expect, then I will probably not ever start running. But good on you for being so badass!)
