Emo
Posted: January 6, 2011 Filed under: Dangerous Book for Boys 3 CommentsI was doing reading for one of my classes when I happened to notice that the bathroom door was open (my fault), and that there were objects strewn about on the floor…
The Bwun is officially tall enough to pull things out of the top drawer in our bathroom. That happens to be where I keep my makeup bag.
Worse and better
Posted: January 5, 2011 Filed under: All's Well That Ends Well 3 CommentsWorse: my cold. My messy house. My goal of eating less junk food. My first class (a touchy-feeling 1 credit I needed to be full-time, called Building Personal Integrity: Developing Character for Life).
Better: my other classes. My life in general. And jr’s cute smile…hard to get a picture of!
Now officially 2 months, check out the new picture on her page.
Not as planned
Posted: January 3, 2011 Filed under: All's Well That Ends Well 3 CommentsHere’s how my day went today.
8:30 – wake up feeling the beginnings of a cold. Spend 10+ minutes about the alarm not going off at 8. Watch an episode of Hell’s Kitchen with the Romgi.
9:00 – get the Bwun up. Decide on poached eggs for breakfast.
9:05 – ask the Romgi to figure out how the electric egg poacher works.
9:07 – blow a fuse in the kitchen. Realize the fuse box is in our neighbor’s apartment.
9:08 – take a screaming jr out of the kitchen when the egg cooker suddenly starts shrieking.
9:11 – get grumpy about not having any toast (since the outlets aren’t working).
9:12 – spill my egg onto the floor. Throw a fit and shut myself in the bedroom under the blankets.
9:30 – calm down enough to come out of isolation. Tidy up the living room minimally. Waste time.
9:45 – put on Pooh’s Heffalump Movie (again) for the Bwun.
9:46 – get the Heffalump song stuck in my head.
10:00 – make a menu for the week, and a grocery list. Debate going to the store.
10:15 – decide against going to the store. Tidy a little more. Waste time again.
11:30 – mini-crisis in our house. The Romgi has to leave suddenly for campus.
11:35 – both kids start screaming. Put in a load of laundry.
11:50 – wrangle the Bwun into the bath.
11:52 – a brief moment of silence.
11:55 – try washing the Bwun’s hair. Quickly discard that plan. Bounce jr. Bounce more.
12:30 – try washing the Bwun’s hair again. So much screaming.
12:34 – move the laundry to the dryer. More more more screaming from both kids. Hurry to get the Bwun out of the bath.
12:50 – the Bwun continues screaming.
12:55 – man-handle the Bwun into wearing clothes.
1:00 – put the Bwun on his bed and try calming him down. Unsuccessful.
1:22 – give up and leave the Bwun’s room. More screaming. Feeling the cold getting worse.
1:30 – silence.
The rest of the day – wishing for more silence and less sickness.
