I think my ears are bleeding

seriously the boy does not stop talking from the second he wakes till he falls asleep-even then sometimes during the middle you will hear a conversation-usually it's just giggles but still his gums are flapping. Each and every thought, idea, bit of trivia he has or knows is verbalized. I suppose when we hit the teen years and I can only get him to grunt at me I will miss these days!

not a good way to start the day

the smell of Iams lamb meal & rice formula dog food. not good at all but I am hoping it helps poor oscar super pug extraordinaire he has been having some sort of skin allergy or rash or something for two weeks now. he has been to the vet, had a steroid shot & takes benadryl every day and I thought it was getting better but no, so I found a forum for pug owners-does everyone have a forum these days? it is apparently a pug thing so I am trying a food change & going by the health food store to look for some holistic stuff to hopefully help the poor little guy

school coupon scandal update

I have discovered the reason behind the horrible little girls selling coupon books for 1/2 price.
first prize to the top seller is 4 tickets to the the sold-out hannah montana show.
so glad I have a boy!

great way to start the day

the smell of freshly baking bread from the bakery up the street at work! Makes me want to bake some bread this weekend-yes yeast, kneading, rising the real deal-I use to bake more b.c.(before-connor). Or I could go the easy route I do have one of those fancy bread baking machine that we got for christmas oh 3 years ago and it's still in the box..

maybe when I grow up

I should be an orthodontist. I made an appointment for C first of all the more convenient office to us does not take patients??? I don't know if she meant new patients or just patients & I did not want to ask what the point of the office was if it did not take patients maybe that's were they go for cocktails or something? Earliest appointment of the day is 9 a.m. & latest is 3 p.m. must be rough...

gardening

I am resolved next year to put out a garden in our backyard. My sil was over last night & we were talking about all of the hepatitis, salmonella and food recalls this past year & a vegetable garden just seems to make sense-plus fresh veggies at the grocery store can get expensive! When I first married into the family my fil always had a huge garden each summer, I use to love family dinners it was like go to a farm stand that didn't charge you! His last few summers being up & about he only planted greens-but lots of greens, more greens than several families knew what to do with. We were living at the house the last garden year, and fil had told his church friends to come by & please help themselves to some greens. At the time we were living in the house, C was 1 & just walking so he would help pee-paw pick greens, very cute indeed but more importantly it was the good 'ol days when C took naps. Yes naps those wonderful couple of hours of bliss and quiet for mommy & daddy. We could nap as well, eat a meal or watch a movie good times, good times..anyway inevitably these church folks would RING THE BELL just to let us know they were going to pick some greens. I'm sure it was polite and all but come on did I need to know? If I looked out the window and saw strangers picking greens I was not exactly going to call the police or anything!
