School, blowouts and rain

It is a Friday and the day started out with a rush. Running out the door to get Jakob to his first zoo class on time. For him it was his first day in a "preschool" setting and this is the look he gave me after he hung up his coat.


This look says this:
"You aren't leaving me are you? You got me all excited about going to zoo class but failed to mention the fact that you were leaving me. What kind of mother are you, just dropping off and leaving your child. You should be ashamed of yourself."

But he survived, made a coffee filter butterfly, got to go out and see animals, and fell asleep 5 minutes after getting in the car. I even got a "Me wubbed ew cas"

After what seemed like forever, we made it home.
Want to know the difference between a girl and a boy? When a boy has a blowout in his diaper, he has items of his anatomy that keep it from pushing to the front, onto his belly. The girl does not, so it goes up the back, up the front and out the sides. So fun...note to self: don't give her so much grape juice.

In my pj's I will spend the rest of the day.
The rain is pounding down, and I think I just saw a mouse.
I have to finish up because Jakob wants to play.
By the way, how many people live in this house?

is anyone out there?

It has been so long since I blogged. So much so that I let my domain expire and it isn't easy to reinstate it…things become more complicated with technology sometimes you just give up. And that is what I am doing now on the domain, giving up and I hope that I can get my monday back. I will be back here.

Musings over a weekend

The weather was beautiful, got to go out on a date with my husband, and got in my garden for some therapy. How much more perfect can a weekend get. On weekends like this my mind wanders (ok it always wanders) and I have specific thoughts that sometimes stick out like neon lights. Musing #1 I can not wait till the day where the only butt I have to wipe, is my own. Musing #2 In three weeks, if it is meant to be...we will have a new family member. (baby puppy..said in the most baby of voices...EVER!) Musing #3 If I had the money, I would hire Martha Stewart to organize my home from the basement on up. (She would be horrified by my current state of organization.) Musing #4 Amazing, I take my husband to a healthy restaurant, and he finds the most unhealthy thing to eat. Musing #5 I am going to wake up at 6:30 so I can get ready for the day, make my cup of coffee, and then go out and watch the sunrise. (that one is pretty funny. I can't remember the last time I actually ...

My dishwasher died.

A couple of weeks ago our dishwasher was a loud raucous annoyance. It didn't used to be, it was one of those "quiet" dishwashers. Well, we use it so much I think we kind of slowly started killing it. It got louder and louder as the years passed, till it was at the point it was a couple of weeks ago. I am not kidding. It was so loud I would only run it when I was leaving the house. You couldn't even watch a movie because it would over power the movie. Then one day, we noticed it was back in it's quiet mode. Dishes looked clean, and they were...for a week. Yesterday I opened the dishwasher to put the dishes away and noticed they weren't even close to clean. There was a big pile of detergent just sitting on the bottom of the washer. Doesn't the soap know that it needs to get up into the dishwasher to clean? So this is my thought. Screw calling someone to fix it. We know that story, it costs just as much to fix it than to buy a new one. I say we buy two ...
