church directory
We went this week for new photos for the church directories. The last one DM had just turned one year old. I was still terrified of doing something wrong as a mom. Now I know I will and am willing to live with that. Also learned I must not be too vain. It never dawned on me to go in the bathroom and check my hair... I should have. Watched other women go check. |

I want a nap
Haven't been sleeping well since I hit the deer. No bad dreams, but just not sleeping enough. I'll tell you I don't need to hit another. That scared me to death. I thought it might years before the muscles in my back relaxed. One minute I was singing with the Standells about the dirty water. The next I was staring at Bambi's mom. |

Day 1
Today was the first day of kindergarten. Hopefully all is going well. Must admit I'm curious. She did okay when I left. She had a puzzle of a unicorn to do, who cared about mom. LOL |

teeth
We lost tooth number two last night. You can see tooth number one here http://www.flickr.com/photos/sithiworld/3743356894/So the toothfairy is busy last night trying to make the switch without anyone waking up... and looses the tooth. Ever try to find an itty bitty tooth on beige carpet in the dark. The toothfairy suggests you don't try this. |

Welcome to the doldrums
Not much happening and it is hard to get motivated right now to write anyway. We go to work and preschool. We come home. Work is okay with moments of suckiness. Life with DM is good, but not exciting. Bubble baths, tree climbing, monkey bars, maybe going to the city pool. |

bridge day
We have been watching an interstate bridge near our house being built. She's even tried with her legos. It is a cast inplace concrete bridge, which makes a tough balancing act with legos. She's had to change the way she builds the piers with legos. Also once it reaches a certain length it takes two of us. You have to put the legos on each end at the same time or boom. Still it's been an interesting engineering challenge for a five year old. She had a question I couldn't answer, so I sent an email to the company. He's offered to give her a little tour of the building site, which should be a lot of fun. I need to get some time off work to go. |

Hop hop hippity hop
Well DM and her doll, Baby, wore matching dresses to mass yesterday. Most of the day she was little miss sugar buzz. She got a rabbit that sings and wiggles from her aunt. Very cute... the first hundred times. |

Not much
Not much going on, so I haven't been motivated to blog. We go to pre-school and work. Then we go home. Kindergarten registration is this month. Doesn't seem possible.... I remember emailing my online friends when I got to Guatemala City to get DM. My friend Melanie spread the word and rejoicing ensued. Now kindergarten. |

Hard to be enthused
Hard to be enthused about work right now and I need to be. I've got a new staff person starting and someone has to like this place. Snow on the ground today. Hope to get DM home with enough light to play a little. They don't let them go out at daycare because some kids don't have warm enough clothes and if they get wet they'd all need spares anyway. |

I must be mean
Well I lost out on a set of seven novels by Stevenson on eBay. However I am feeling a bit mean as I made my rival really pay quite a bit to win. Almost glad I lost at the end when the price as the price ran up. I think what annoyed me was that they used software to win. My bids were outbid before they were even completed. |

Baby vs. DM
As you know Baby is viewed as DM's little sister even given her plastic dolls status. Last Saturday DM was in trouble and was busy snivelling. She looks up at me and goes "You love Baby better than you love me." It was all I could do to keep from laughing, which would have of course intensified the sniveling. LOL |

in triplicate
It is just not my day. It starts with a drunk, who we kick out. I fill out paperwork in triplicate. Then a shelter men's fight, which means more triplicate.... Don't you love working with the public |

being "activating" and smellies
DM said something the other day and I had to think twice. "I'm sorry, mommy, that I am activating" She meant aggrevating. I will miss these little bloopers. :) Smellies - why do my homeless shelter people smell worse in winter? You'd think they would smell worse in the summer with the heat. hmmmm uck! |

Tigger
Poor Tigger. He is going to be surplanted in the hearts of Barbies in our house. Currently DM has no boy Barbie. She has been asking for Santa to bring her one for months and I guess he will. However it isn't fair to Tigger. DM has a stuffed Tigger, who has been serving the role of Barbie's boyfriend and husband. He puts up with a lot from those Barbies. If the kids are sick and throw up on him, he is a good sport and wipes them off. (I finally had to have a talk with DM and Tigger about the number of Kleenx he was using. LOL) Tigger wears ridiculous costumes with good humour. And now he's going to be bumped out of the way by some boy Barbie. |

horizontal bop
Don't get me wrong. I like the horizontal bop as much as the next woman, but I'm a little perturbed by the new push for us to take drugs to increase our desire to bop. Maybe I'm just not a stripper pole in the bedroom kind of girl. And have you seen the side effects "The trade-off for slightly better sex? Unwanted hair growth in manly places like the face and chest. And the possibility of increased breast cancer. Four cases of breast cancer were diagnosed in the study, which involved 800 postmenopausal women; none of the four were on the placebo patch. While the researchers say these "may be due to chance," they add that "the possibility of a causal relationship must be considered."" US NEWS Of course that is nothing compared to horizontal bop medicine for guys. It is true just what your mom said, you could go blind. |

Bully by proxy
DM got mad at someone yesterday and had a boy in the class go pinch that person. So he got in trouble and she got in trouble. She actually admitted that she asked him to do it because she didn't want to get in trouble. We had a long talk about it. It really bothers me that she did it. I just hope she was listening to me. |

sequel to trophy wall
As you may remember, DM had a trophy wall of large boogers several months ago. On Sunday she bit her lip and then couldn't leave it alone. She said it tasted like bugs..... I wasn't really sure I wanted to know how she knows this. |

Five
Yes, a fifth birthday is coming up tomorrow. DM woke me at three this morning to let me know. She's lucky that she will make it to this fifth birthday. LOL Having her leaning over my face to tell me this was alarming at three o'clock. Five seems to be a much bigger deal to her. Not sure if it is just because she is older or that it is a big deal in the preschool world. We hunted for goodie bag stuff this weekend. Don't want to seem cheap, but I have to make a bunch. We aren't doing a party this year. Tomorrow I show up with cupcakes and a variety of things for them to do decorations with. And the goodie bags. When I was little getting cake and ice cream was the treat. DM was very excited that we found glow sticks. That is evidently a status item to have in one's goodie bag. I am giving a lecture on no taking it in the bathroom before handing my bags out. :) Had to make DM sit on the couch during the stuffing of the goodie bags because she kept snapping glow sticks and I only had so many. |
