Random, just getting it out there.

Wow, my husband posted like 3 posts in the past 12 hours. I guess I had better keep up. But I don’t have a lot to write about today. Let me see what I can squeak out.

1. I agree with BAGD on his recent post. Parenting is hard. People expect you to complain about it. When you don’t complain loud enough they assume you are not parenting enough, or are an idiot. We are neither, we just try to keep a positive attitude. Yes, life here is hard. It truly is. We’ll be happy to tell you about it. But we will try to see the silver lining.

2. Giggles is a genius. Not only is she trying to figure out how to take off her own pants, she threw something away in a garbage can on Sunday! She had a wadded up ball of bread in her fist when we were walking thru the Museum. She waddled over to the garbage can and threw it away before we could stop her (we were not sure what she was throwing away!). She also stands up to the big kids, trying to push them out of her play chair.

3. Geetle has had a little problem with sassiness recently. She complains alot and talks sassy. We are working on it and she is very proud to tell you that she has had no “X” on her chart since Saturday morning.

4. We went to the Science and Industry Museum on Sunday. Pookie wore his earphones for most of the trip. Its amazing how a boy wearing neon yellow ear phones (we bought them at Menards, next to the chain saws) can blend right in. He does not get a response from strangers when he wears them, other than a few people are surprised to see that he still listens to use while he wears them. We even saw a few parents point and discuss among themselves that they would be a useful idea for their child. Earphones for everyone, I say. The museum is way too loud for me too.

5. We had a great Christmas. The kids were very happy. They are still exploring the new things, but slowly we are returning to normal.

6. I am thinking about what kind of birthday party to have for Geetle and Pookie. Big decision. I have not figured it out yet. I have a phone call in to the local McDonalds to see if they will cut me a deal on the price. $9.95 per kid is kind of expensive. Our McDonalds has those play tunnel/tubes, so that would be very popular. And it would be easy to have it there, especially since we are having a family party the next day and I would not have to clean twice!

7. I want to go to DisneyWorld.

8. Today, I am at work. I will not bore you with the details, but someone stole an account from me. Its not right. I told him so, but he said I need to be a team player. Apparently that means my team giving his team a lead on a separate part of an account I was working, then his team stealing the whole account from my team, but its OK because we all belong to the larger team. He is a manager, and my manager is not in today, so I kept my mouth shut. But. He is wrong and I will not go out of my way to help his team again.
