The sky was so bright tonight. That combined with Billy’s obnoxious snoring and my need to make my bladder gladder woke me from sweet slumber at just after 3 a.m. Ugh. I yelled at him for snoring but he denied it. Yeah, because I’m deaf. Sometimes I wish he’d just go sleep in Cate’s bed and let me snuggle with her in ours. She doesn’t snore and she smells so sweet.
I got up and decided to clean the fridge. I don’t know what gets into me but when I wake up out of a dead sleep nothing makes me feel better than some crazy cleaning. I even took a picture of the finished product but decided maybe that’s a little weird to post.
Next, I organized all the pots and pans and leftover containers under the sink. It was chaos! I pulled it all out and then put everything back neatly thus making enough noise to wake up Cate. Great! (She is now happily watching Aladdin at 5 a.m. Good times.)
Emptied the damn dishwasher and filled it up with the disgusting leftover containers I found lurking in the back of our fridge with contents that were unidentifiable, then I started laundry, poured straight vinegar into my coffee maker to give it a thorough cleaning and started dough to make cinnamon buns. Mmmmm. Yes, I realize I’m a total freak. It takes three hours though to make cinnamon buns from scratch so 4:30 a.m. means we’ll be having them for breakfast at a normal hour.
I am taking the girls to Moms’ Morning Out from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. I’m so excited! Makes it totally worth rejoining that damn MOMS Club. I really want to splurge on a pedicure but Billy says I’ve been spending too much. He’s got his truck in the shop and that’s going to cost $400. Ouch! So I’m thinking I might just go and buy a few things and do my own pedi later.
Can I just say how annoyed I am that he bought this nasty rusted out 1983 Toyota 4-Runner but still hasn’t sold the piece of shit Suzuki Samurai that’s been living on our property uninspected since 2002 and useless since at least 2004? Yeah. He wants to sell it for a couple thousand and if he’d do that we could go on vacation and I could get pedicures galore but yet it lurks like a giant waste of money. Grrrr.
I think I’ll either crash or feel like shit later this morning. I was thinking about taking the girls to the pool after MMO but I don’t know if that’s such a good idea. We went there in the afternoon yesterday after storytime and Emma flipped out on some poor boy that she thought had dunked her bag of toys. Well, actually her sister’s bag of toys but regardless. It was crazy.
I’m glad she doesn’t take shit and that she can kick some ass when provoked but this kid wasn’t the one who did it! Little fucker was about nine years old at least and yeah, I’m sorry my five year old scratched your damn back and left a mark but get over it! He was stalking me outside the woman’s locker room wanting what? An apology? Wonder if his mother told him to go demand one. Then again not sure how I’d react if something happened like that to my daughter. Hmmm. Well, for one my nine year old wouldn’t be in the damn one foot kiddy pool but whatever. The majority of parents at the pool are more concerned with their cell phones, ipods and getting their tan than supervising their children. Imagine that.
Man, I think I’m delirious. I should have gone back to sleep instead of waking this little girl with my nonsense.
I started reading a really funny book last night. Picked it up off the new release shelf at the library. I highly recommend it if you need some easy entertainment. It’s called The Pretend Wife. I love how the author puts words together. Her sense of humor kind of reminds me of my friend Sara. It’s super witty. I read till my eyes blurred and then crashed on the couch. That might be another reason I woke up so early.
I realize that I’m kind of hypocritical saying the other parent wasn’t watching her kid when mine scratched his back but I was standing right there. I must have just turned my head for half a second when the attack took place.
Mmmm homemade cinnamon buns!
Wow…you have a lot going on. I woke up about the same time you did last night…I had the energy…or lack thereof to go back to sleep however.
Sounds like you are nesting….
Yes, you are a total freak! I love reading about it though
I wish I could do that crazy late night cleaning business, but I just like my sleep way too much for that.
The pool. Swim lessons or free play swimming — my eyes stay split. One eye on one kid the other on the second. Then, I do the quick scan and head count of all the ‘non’swimmers.
I don’t get how everyone just gets comfortable and visits. Sure, their are lifeguards but they have a lot to watch.
I’m the one who hollers, “off the ledge” or “she’s under” and everyone else is so surprised. I think the life guards are going to give me an honorary whistle!
LOL!!!
I can’t clean noisily like that at night. No wakie the family — NO WAY!
Happy Tuesday!
