Of Redneckken’ and Library Ladies
March 9, 2006
This is a busy time for me and I’ll be off and on for the next two weeks. The kids and I are heading up to see my cousin Jessica who just had surgery. Her strength amazes me. Only 16 and here she is on her 9th surgery. Go show her some bloggy love!
This morning was quite a change - the snow is melting and it’s been raining non-stop for 2 days. Hubby got a ride to work and left his car behind mine. He didn’t leave the keys so I pulled a redneck move, doing a 52-point turn in the driveway and driving out via the lawn. Yeehaw! You shoulda seen the look on dat dere crossing guards face!
Thomas and I headed up to Stupidstore (Great Canadian Superstore for you newbies) and I was worried he would be a CrankyPants because he refused to eat breakfast, but he was the most endearing, sweet little cart-monkey today. It helps that I fed him banana-yogurt drinks and Teddy Grahams through the whole store. He is really trying to talk now and repeats everything we say. Today it was “yist yist!!” (list) and “Ohhhhh Mama…” I seriously considered ripping open a bag of tortillas, rolling him up and taking a bite of his cutey cuteness.
We stopped at the library where he squealed and laughed through the entire place as I chased him down. Not one to let my kids run free in public, I had to make a huge game of how important it was for him to give the library card to the lady at the desk. Once I hoisted his diapered butt onto the high counter, he threw the card like a frisbee and it hit the library lady in the nose. Damn. It took all my strength not to laugh.
Well the errands aren’t over - I have to run these kids to the chiropractor now. I’ll be back blogging as much as I can over the next two weeks, but don’t expect much. It’s March Break, yo.
Have a safe one! And don’t forget to go give Jessica bloggy love!
