Hey You. It's Me.

Not that anyone out there cares,

but since I am documenting an entire year of my life, I thought that years down the road I may be sitting in my lazy-girl, ..or rascal. and wonder what in the world was going on in my life on January 29, 2008.

So future me, here you go:

* today, all the boys had their iron levels checked. Sebi didn't cry, but he did make a very sad face accompanied with a "why would you do that to me look" that made me want to buy him a hot fudge sunday and a pony. Gabriel was amused by the coldness of the alcohol swab. And that was about enough of amazing for him. He was very upset once he got stuck. I finally calmed him down and got him back into the double-stroller. Homer's turn. Homer has no idea what is about to happen and he's just happy that mama got him out of the stroller and is holding him. Gabriel is watching the lady start to prep Homer and immediately goes on the defensive. He screamed, cried, and beat the shi#%! out of that lady. O.k., she survived. But she may need therapy. **Note to anyone administering shots to little ones. a) a toothbrush in plastic wrap does not make a shot "better" b) if you're in the running for competing with Crystal Gayle's hair length, you should probably put it up and out of a toddler's reach while administering said shots. c) don't mess with a twin's brother.

* I actually went a whole week and a half without buying my dog "dog food". He wasn't starving y'all. Homer feeds him ALL. THE. TIME. all.the.time. And we rationed out portions of lunch meat...or highchair leftovers. Please don't call animal rights. They don't want my dog. No one wants my dog but myself and my mother-in-law. It's a love you can't hide. Well, tonight I bought him his bag of dog food. I poured it into his bowl and felt good for being a wonderful pet owner. And then he looked at me with this, "what's this crap" face. NICE.

* I made one of those cheap Totino's pizzas for dinner tonight. You know the ones we all had in college. We all had those, right? I'm so o.k. with this. Because tonight at the gym, I ran like it was going out of style.

* Oh, and while at the grocery store Sebastian called to ask me to pick up wipes and pampers. And guess what was free when you bought Huggies pampers? wipes. and bath wash. SCORE.

* I like hot baths. My bathtub also fills up in record time. I have to be careful with this since I almost had a repeat episode tonight. But, I didn't. I did have the bath set to the perfect temperature. And the water level was a bit higher than normal, but I was cool with that. As soon as I was settled into my relaxing bath, I realized I had to pee. I'm not gonna lie, y'all. I thought long and hard about this one. And I finally got my soaking body up and out of the tub before senselessness took over.
