Dire times

eh, all I think about is the tough stuff, all hubbers thinks about is the tough stuff.  I'll try to only write about the good stuff here, a nice change of perspective.


Jeanne and Loki had been waking at 5:30 for some unknown reason the last few days, but mum and dad weren't fans of this.  This morning, I heard Jeanne rustle in her room at, yep 5:31.  I told hubbers she was up, and he grumbled "What do you want me to do about it?" 

Well, go to her! 
He brought her milk (which she has been drinking less of since she sleeps ALL through the night now).  A quick sleepy diaper change and both Jeanne and Daddy got to sleep another 2 hours.

Not mommy though.  Loki was up, burping, spitting up and just plain DONE with lying down.  So we played (quietly) in the living room and I drank my HOT coffee in a calm and quite room.

Loki fell asleep in the car sear today for the SECOND time in his life.  Jeanne told me in a  (quite whispery voice)
"Loki seep mommy"

I looked in the rear view and smile!  We whisper back and forth, 'sleep nice', 'yes, he's quite', 'let's not wake him Jeanne,  "not wake!"

Took Jeanne to Gymboree, the big kid class (28-36 months). We went up because I wanted her to be around more talking kids.  She talks all the time, but not when she is in the 18-27 month class, because none of the other kids are talking.  I am having mixed feelings about her staying in this class, as a) she is the smallest and b) she is very much acting like the smallest pup in a litter.  She will sometimes get pushy or grab an arm too hard (that's my opinion, no child has said ow yet), its more her face.  She will stare down a kid in a way I don't like.  She won't have an obvious 'mean face' or rude face, but I (perhaps because I am this way) think shes punking them out, daring them to do something.  Either way, hard to put into words, but it leads to behavior I don't like.  I will let her go to one more big kid class and decide, it may be that she is trying to meet these kids the only way she knows how... staring.

Hubbers and I have lost weight this month!  YEA!  He has lost 6 pounds and I have lost 6 pounds too!  I broke the 140 mark this morning weighing in at 139.8!  WOOT!

Loki is asleep.  I mention this since he really isn't a great napper, he does 30 minutes, then will fart and wake up.  He has been asleep for almost TWO HOURS.  Must be from the shots he got on Tuesday, body working overtime to produce all those antibodies!

Yummy Foods this week:
homemade tomato sauce (yes I did it!, and Jeanne ate TWO servings!)
bread
peanut butter chicken over Barrilla pasta
kettle corn made in my microwave popper (2 tsp olive oil, 1 tsp brown sugar)
peanut butter cookie crumble (was supposed to be cookies, I think I put too much sugar in) which I froze to top in ice cream later!
