Tapping My Red Sparkly Shoes, Like Dorothy
May 16, 2006
Tonight was so nice. Once I got home, Daren took Troll Baby to the grocery store so I could read blogs rest. I’m behind on commenting - sorry ya’ll.
When he returned, he cooked me a huge salmon steak, bbq’d potatoes and made a kick-ass salad. I ate like a frikken pig, lemme tell ya. All day without anything in mah bellah was hell. I wasn’t even allowed water. Anyway, dinner was amazing and what made it even more so was the chatter and laughter echoing through the dining room. Troll Baby was a delight, and he kept saying “Finger One,” (whatever that means) and bursting into great big baby giggles, which had Dylan in stitches and Daren and I looking on and smiling.
After dinner, I cleaned Troll Baby up, and took him upstairs to put his jammies on. On our way up the stairs, I said to him, “I missed you today baby.” He looked at me, touched my cheek with his chubby little hand and replied, “I missed you today Mommy.” Then I pretended I was going to tickle him on the change table and we laughed some more.
Daren was coming in from taking the garbage out when we got back downstairs and I handed off the baby while I turned to get his sippy cup ready. Then Troll Baby says, “Mommy’s Cute Bummer.”
“Did you teach him to say that?”
“Say what?”
“That Mommy’s got a cute bum?”
“He said ‘Mommy’s cucumber.’”
“Oh. Dang!”
After Troll Baby was off to bed, I came downstairs and Daren had started on the kitchen. I surveyed the mess, and the groceries that hadn’t made it to the fridge yet, and offered, “I’ll do the dishes if you put this stuff away. I mean, you ARE the ultimate fridge packer.”
“Watch how you pronounce that!”
We burst into laughter, and cleaned up together. It’s so nice to be home.

OMG Karen… you’ve had it ROUGH! I’m so sorry!!!
You and I sound so much alike with some of the “hypochondriac” fears you’ve had lately.
I pulled a muscle on the lower right side of my abdomen when I was pregnant with Maggie. It seems to flare up every now and then… you can imagine my fears. ;o)
I’m glad you are doing better, I’ve just read through I don’t know how many of your recent posts to get caught up on everything… I love your stories!!

Girl! I am so glad to see that your vagina problems have been fixed. I was worried about you carrying oranges around in your girly bits.
Your family sounds so cool…I hope I can be a cool mom someday.

I’m glad everything turned out for you Karen, and that you didn’t end up needing the surgery.
Thomas is a sweet heart lol, he says the cutest things!

I’m glad it all worked out. And I totally LOL at the “fridge packer”. BTW - Tylenol 3s make me sick too - 2 Christmases ago I fractured my arm and dislocated my elbow - we were driving to my moms (3 hours) and I took the T’s for pain. I ended up puking on the side of the road. Never again.
