Suddenly there is a buzz of fruit flies around the house. What the hell … so I start wiping down everything and try to eliminate the problem. Hmmm… they are hard little suckers to get rid of, no?
So, last night, as I walk into Miles’ room .. I see a plethora of them, more than I see in any other part of the house …
me: Miles? They seem to be coming from your room? Do you have food in here?
Miles: huh? no. only that rotten banana that I threw away in the garbage can.
me: WHAT! OMG. your kidding… From DURANGO! ?? 3 WEEKS AGO?!
Miles: uh, yeah.. I guess so.
Lovely… just lovely. So, I made him empty his garbage and he was SO grossed out by it.. I’m like.. dude? are you for realz?
It was another kick ass weekend for Mrs Knitpho. I can’t tell you how lucky I am and how grateful I am as well. Friday night couldn’t have came quick enough, I was exhausted from a busy day of chauffeuring my beloved M’s around… I was the lucky mom who got to a an end of the year preschool party and was sadly depressed when I walked in the doors and realized that EEPS… NO BOOZE. ::sigh:: I managed to keep myself in check for over 3hours with 4 & 5 year olds and other moms and inside no less because of the rain… major drag. Finally, thankful for GPS finder mappy thing on my phone I found my way home otherwise I’d still be out there.. seriously. Then a nice dinner and sending the husbeast off to train (he’s a triathlete you know!) and thankful for raspberry vodka & limeade – always thankful for that.
Saturday.. a “quick” run and then watching it rain like a bitch all day long. I mean RAIN… sheets,buckets,downpour kind of rain. Then me & my peeps were off to a party at my friend Erins house, good food, good beer, good friends – and the husband stayed behind with the kiddies .. what more could a girl ask for? Girl time, it’s what ever mom needs to make it through …. life.
Today.. I went to lunch with a dear friend to celebrate our birthdays and have girl talk. We go to lunch at a local yummy Italian restaurant and WTF.. no lunch menu on Sundays? $20 for a hunk of lasagna? $12 for Bruschetta… we sat down, and stared at the dinner prices and dinner menu for a 1p lunch.. we were so rebellious, we got up and left. I’m so sure, we’re all about good food and lovely atmosphere, but serving dinner only on a Sunday VIA? Your STOOOOPID!
So, we found another yummy restaurant and had LUNCH at LUNCHTIME and then of course hit Starbucks.
Mr Knitpho got a great ride in and avoided the rain and I watched a bunch of gross but funny boys practically kill each other. Hula hooped,jumped rope, colored with sidewalk chalk and laughed til I cried with my Mia.
As Sunday comes to end, and True Blood is about to come on, the wine is about to be poured and the kids will be put to bed.
I am thankful for a fantastic family, amazing friends and a great first weekend of summer.
What a week my friends. It was one of those weeks that FLEW by, but at the same time you could just hear the second hand on the clock, tick tick ticking away. Each second getting louder in your brain and you just want to run away screaming. Yeah, that’s pretty much it.
Last week, Mr. Knitpho got sick. I know, your thinking oh no..Poor Mrs Knitpho. We all know how those menfolk can get when the sniffles settle in. MANFLU! But, he wasn’t exaggerating, and he was really sick! It was so real infact, that he passed it along to me and well, he was fine & dandy a few days later and I’m lucky enough to still be illin’. Not as lucky as dear daughter. She started with the sniffles, then the cough, then her eye got a little gunky, then the other eye.. then her ears started to hurt. So, I finally decided that my medical degree from I don’t know shit univeristy wasn’t going to cut it, and took her to the see the doc. Well, turned out – she’s sick! She (has/had) 1 full blown ear infection, the start of another in the other ear. Sinus Infection. Pink eye.. both eyes! And ..your common cold to give it a nice rounding effect. Did she like, lick a door knob somewhere and lick her own eyeballs? I swear! So, we’re pretty much quarantine until things start to clear up. The meds have broke ground and I see can a very small light at the end of the tunnel. But wait, let me go clear the crap from the corner of my eye and go rub them so they stop itching. Yup… I think it’s making it’s way to mama.
So, I feel like we’ve been home since the beginning of time. I was thankful for last Saturday and being able to go out on a ‘date’ with my husband – we got to see Slumdog Millionaire, and if you have not seen it.. go! It is fantastic!!! I am also very lucky the mister took over and I got to hang with the knitting crew for much needed laughter and relaxation AND knitting. Except I had to come home and frog the 4″ ribbing that I did, cuz I used the wrong size needles. Dang!
Have you seen the movie 28 days? I almost wish I was trying to escape brain eating zombies for 28days than be home with my kids for 24 days. IN WINTER! It’s a close call. Well I might be exaggerating a wee bit, but when an ice storm hits and then followed by a snow storm.. closing schools for 8 days! When it’s so cold – they really can’t go out in play , but only to bring more boys inside the home for video games and endless snacks… I am SO ready for these kids to go back to school. We’ve kept busy as best we could … I took them here and there and we cooked & baked and did all those fun for them, insane for me things. But, Jan 5. I heart you. I am off to the gym. BY MY SELF. No one talking to me insistently about Clone Wars, Club Penguin, Legos, Action Figures, Leapster, ‘Puters, being hungry, being bored, being tired, wanting to stay up late, endless “MOM?” .. I will have a sweet 2.5hours alone .. to do with what I please. I will hit the gym. I will grocery shop by myself. I will do laundry without help. I will enjoy the silence. I will appreciate my kids just that extra wee bit more when I get them from school and I will appreciate their stories and their arguments and their requests. I will meet their demands, I will gratefully fulfill their needs and wants. Because, truth be told – as exhausted as I am … I’m probably going to be pretty lonely. Quit laughing, it’s going to take some used to!!
Early bed times for everyone! Cuz it’s a SCHOOL NIGHT!
How was your Halloween? Did you get lots treats… and I certainly hope you didn’t get tricked!! Another Halloween is behind us and the trek out for candy was a total success. We parked at Stephs..and hit the streets. Both of the kids held their own and Mia only got annoyed toward the end when her witch hat started to blow off and then Miles lost his mask in a pile of leaves…on the darkest street possible. But with a teenytiny flash light.. I found it! The candy bags were HEAVY and it was time to be done.. except we made one stop at Jens and there we found wine & beer and a lot of laughs .. then it was off to see the fam and invade their household til Halloween was officially over. The kids were full of candy – and became comatose on the couch with TV and Mia eventually fell asleep. I honestly cannot remember a better Halloween … bring on November! Birthdays! Elections! TURKEY!
It’s NABLOPOMO by the way … so in an effort to give it a go .. I”ll be trying to update EVERYDAY! What a concept.
My daughter. I’ve told you about her right? Well… I can feel the gray hairs trying to force their way out of my scalp. They have Mia written all over them. 3 year old girls are hard work, full of manipulation and have a certain flair for dramatics. She can turn on tears in a second flat, and I’m not talking a tear here and there.. I’m talking a waterfall full of them.
Tuesday, I pick her up from school- the teachers said she got very weepy when it was time clean up and get ready for home. The teacher tells me, we have a lot of kids crying to not come to school and leave their mom, mine? She doesn’t want to leave school and come home TO mom.
Wednesday, I pick her up from school – I can hear her SOBBBBBBBING all the way down the hall way… “I DON’TWANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNA GOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOMMMMMMMEEEEEEE” OMG? What!? She rounds the corner and the teacher says… she’s doesn’t go home. (with a snarky little smile, that I may or may not have imagined) At this point, I am embarrassed and I’m trying to calm her down, but more tears are falling and she can’t even breath she’s crying so hard. Ummm. It’s not like she comes home and I lock her in her cage and let the rats & dogs take over and she goes back to becoming a feral child and has to eat scraps of porkfat and moldy bread that I shove through the bars of her cage. I advised the teachers to please not call family services, that she does have quite the nice little home life and not look at me funny.
By the way, my mother thinks this is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo funny.
*a tish a tosh a razzamatazz.. is a song M leanred in school yesterday, along with jazzhands.. it’s quite the little number that is NOW STUCK IN MY BRAIN!
First off, thanks for the birthday wishes for my baby boy, who’s actually not anywhere near being a baby. He had a fantastic birthday and birthday weekend. Of course, his birthday extravaganza turned into LETS HAVE A DRINKFEST, and mama woke up with quite a little headache!
In other news, I FAILED the knitting Ravelympics. I took a quite a big project, and I do believe I would have finished, however – the Olympics just happen to coincide with the most busiest 2 weeks ever. I tried to knit as much as I could, but one huge realization that hit me square between the eyes, I do not have 4 to 5 hours a day to knit. Who knew? But.. it’ll get in time for baby to come, which the dates keeps getting pushed back. We don’t want to talk about that with the mama though – it’s a sensitive subject. So here it is: Blanket as WIP:
I am in love with it, and I can’t wait to for the little bambino to make himself OR herself shown!
So, we have one more day of the this Labor Day weekend – and the weekend thus far was fantastical. Birthdays! Beers! Presents! Sparklers! GOLF! and .. then some much needed outdoor quite time for this mama.
off off and away. fly my little chickadees. fly. of course, miles is used to this..him and his crew were off and running to catch the bus and made nothing of the morning. now, my girl. my challenge. my partner. how will she re-act? more importantly, will I be ok? well, we parked the car. she said I didn’t even have to walk her across the street, that she would be ok on her own. I asked her if it was ok to walk her to her classroom and meet her teachers, I got the ok. In we went, and away she flew. with a quick hug and she told me “i’ll be ok mommy, i’ll miss you, but I’m going to have fun” and that was that. My BFF called to see if I was ok, and I was. She asked if I had cried, and well.. no. I tried… I really did. I squeezed my eyes really hard together to try and make some form of condensation leak from them, didn’t happen. I came home, went for a run and now I’m going grocery shopping before her first day is done. Their confidence amazes me.. one proud mama here.
Ummm. You know? If you start a blog, join a community… be prepared for whats out there. Good or bad. But.. the good thing about having your own blog, is your can type whatever the hell you want…
I love my blog. I have “met” some pretty awesome people through my blog, and not only met them live and in person, but have developed some pretty great relationships otherwise. But you know.. it happens, there are just some people out there, that act like total DOOSHBAGS and you think..how do they make it in the real world. How does one function in society on a daily basis. I mean, I wouldn’t know how to function outside my home, since I am a stay at home mom, and all I do all day is walk on my treadmill, talk on my cell phone and read cosmo. I bet you didn’t know that about me, did you? Yup, I have the luxury of doing that all day long. So, when I join an onlne fitness community, to help motivate oneself for losing weight – I never expected sore losers. But, I guess there’s one in every bunch, who just has to whine that they can’t keep up with the rest of the pack.
So, I’ll just keep on, keepin’ on. I’ll post on my blog, with pics of my kids. I’ll do the research before posting a question so I don’t get beaten down for being a lazy googler. I’ll be honest with my points on my exercise, because in the end – as much of a bitch as I play on tv, I do play by the rules. I’ll do my best to talk to my BFF and Plurk, while I walk on my treadmill for hours a day, because having two kids, a house and husband and two dogs.. I have ALL THE TIME IN THE WORLD to do nothing else, except accrue introplay points.
Sincerely,
Bitchycakes or pusscakes… I don’t know which one I am..but I’m one those. I hope it’s bitchy cakes.. it has a nice ring.
