Do you know what it’s like to wake up to a child screaming
bloody murder? And you realize you’re the one who needs to be wearing pampers
because you practically shit yourself trying to get to their room? I witnessed
this, this past weekend, as my sister came barreling through the den into my
niece, Caroline’s, room. She must be used to this, because she had already
turned the corner before I could wipe the drool from my mouth…Everything, of
course, was fine – except her eye was crusted together from what we assume was pink
eye. Did I mention this was the night before her little brother’s first
birthday party? Yes, it may have been sabotage to get pink eye and ruin poor
Noah’s day; but honestly, does she know that farting on her pillow can lead to
conjunctivitis?!
Turned out none of the parents were too worried about it,
and made an appearance. Here are some pics of Noah devouring his first taste of
sugar:
He probably would have devoured rice cakes, since he has
only been subjected to organic foods for the past 12 months.
Now, here is where I vow to never complain about Fritz
waking me up at 7:30 on a weekend! At least I can take him out, let him do what
he has to do, and then put him in his kennel or throw him outside, if he
decides he is up for the day. What do you do when both of your kids are up at
7:30, one wont let you put them down and the other is screaming because she
doesn’t want the baby touching “her toys?” ((I guess it’s considered child abuse if you put your child
in a kennel? )) Seriously though, I want kids; but, I also want a nanny, no
job, and a prescription to xanax. Major props to my sister for the devotion she
has to her tiny tots! And to her pup, who if you read my previous post, is referred
to as the “peepee bandit”.
I hope everyone else’s Labor Day weekend was as exciting as
mine was! College football started this weekend, this is one of the only
reasons I am ok with saying goodbye to summer. I’m also sad to say adios to my white jeans though – they
are my fave. But, with the heat index ill gladly toss them aside for some cool
air!
So bring it on Fall! I’m ready for pumpkin spice coffee, a
cool walk around the lakes with Fritz, and LSU/Ole Miss!
