tidbits
March 22, 2006
Boy it’s been a busy morning! Now that March Break is over, I decided to inject 5000 mL of Starbucks Frappacino Coffee Drink into my bloodstream and get started on some spring cleaning. Dylan’s room was a giant dust bunny, dotted with army men, Lego pieces and socks. I figured out the dryer isn’t actually the culprit for eating all our socks, it’s Dylan’s dust ruffle. Dust ruffle my ass - it hasn’t dusted a damn thing around here! Thomas happily played here in the rec room while Mommy turned into the Housewife Hurricane and cleaned all the bedrooms, stripping the beds and vaccuuming the mattresses. All this talk in the news had me inspecting the mattresses for dust mites, but alas, dust mites don’t live in my house, probably because our house is smack dab in the middle of The Neverending Winter. Forget the name Ontario, let’s just call it Narnia. All the while the windows were open to the frigid winter wind, but boy it felt good to have those puppies cracked open. Fresh air!
Thomas is coming out with more words on a daily basis, and I even got him to say “Hiiiiii Sassy,” on the phone to my beloved friend. Course my good-looking friend Karen’s name was too much for him and he swooned into the phone at her, “Hiiiii Hottie.” Yep, you pegged her, kiddo. She is my hottest friend. She knows it too. Just kidding, Karen! *wink wink*
Yesterday on Baby Einstien, there were little fish swimming across the screen, and Troll Baby exclaimed (as he always does) “Wassat?”
“Fish,” I replied.
“Shit,” he attempted.
Trying not to laugh, I said “Fffffffish,” obviously trying to enunciate the “F.”
He tried again. “Ffffffshit.”
Hey, I tried.
As all my Narnia friends begin to emerge from their own winter hibernation, the spring and summer weekends are quickly filling up with BBQ dates, cottaging and a trip to Calgary with Dylan, to see Sassy, Penny and Ang. This coming weekend we are having a BBQ with Jen and Chris and their kids. Jen is otherwise known as Hot Friend #2, or She Who May Be Able To Get Us Tickets to Dora The Explorer. Saaaa-Weet!
Daren’s lifelong best friend and his lovely wife (hot friend #3 - man I have alot of hot friends) just had their first baby on the weekend. Matthew was born Saturday night and since I said I wouldn’t call to see when we could come and see the little gaffer, I’m sitting on my hands in anticipation of the invite. And I can still type while I’m doing that, don’tcha know.
Well the laundry is calling me. I have to wash and dry Troll Baby’s binkie if I want him to nap at some point today. And I DO.
Have you started your spring cleaning?
