I’ll Take the Vibrating Chair for $500, Alex.
February 27, 2006
I dug out Thomas’ old vibrating baby seat that converts to a vibrating toddler rocker and he is loving it. It’s the longest he has ever sat still since he was a tiny sausage roll. He turns it on, sits in it and stays still! Add to the mix Dora, cookies (yes, for breakfast - I’m a cool Mommy) and a sippy cup full of milk and it’s like he’s in Toddler Paradise. Sweet!
Yesterday Dylan and I went to his little friend’s birthday party. The whole lot of us watched the movie Doogal. Wow. Talk about trying hard. The writers of this movie must have thought that saying things like “bling bling” and “pimp my boat” would bring all the kids to the yard. I’m sorry, but a kid’s movie that uses the word “pimp” and whose lead character looks like Jennifer Aniston and Joe Dirt mated? What the hell were the producers smoking? EDITED TO ADD: Snozzberries saw it too and wrote a funny open letter to Jon Stewart.
It was slow at first, and with all the lame jokes, try-hard verbage, and references to really good movies, made for bad film. Don’t waste your money. Not even to rent it. Not even to rent it and set it on fire.
The smell of dryer sheets and bleach are making me high. Sassy arrives on Thursday and if I bounce off the walls anymore, people are going to start calling the women’s shelters. I’m driving Daren nuts with little things I want done and the “poor guy” has switched back to four 10 hour days so he’s a wee bit tired. Suck it up, buttercup! Most of the stuff I need done require tools and he has the nerve to take them to work with him. Like, can’t he borrow someone else’s for this week? I need shit done!
My stomach has been a huge heavy ball of artichoke dip and crackers since last night. We filled up on popcorn at the movies so I skipped a real dinner and opted for this snack at 10 o’clock last night. Big mistake. I’ll spare you the details, but I wish this would just go away already. Garlicky, onion-y, and cheesey things are evil. Evil!
That’s all I got. If you’re bored, tell me what you think of me. Oh just do it and quit whining.
