Grown Ups

So just now I was doing this funny little slow run with funky arms towards Twinkles (she is in the high chair eating Cherios) and Bigger Kid saw and she says, "Mrs. Arizona Sun*, you are the funniest grown up I saw!"

I love my job.

*Of course she uses my real first name cause we are cool like that!

Ashley

Ashley is my new solar powered happy plant.  She sits in the window sill and flaps her leaves and sways back and forth all day long and she is happy... Till night, when the sun goes down and she runs out of power.

Today, I didn't even get up to do anything for Goodlooking as he got ready for work.  I just got up when my alarm went off and got in the shower.  I then realized that the car with Twinkle's car seat was with Goodlooking and I needed it so I could go to Volleyball at the church.  It ended up working out just fine but I was a little upset for a while (I almost cried... I was still pretty tired).  Got to work and Bigger Kid watched a little TV till breakfast of weird tasting cereal and crunchy french toast sticks.  Twinkles got up and we played for a while till we got ready to go play Volleyball.
I and the girls had a great time.  I am getting much better and feel more confident in my abilities.
Twinkles had some noodles and rice cereal and cheese for lunch.  Bigger Kid had a PBJ and blue chips.  I had my leftover Bowties and sauce.
I put Twinkles down for her nap and Bigger Kid and I went outside to PLAY.  and I gotta tell ya, I haven't been on a swing in a L-O-N-G time! After a while I was starting to not feel so good and had to stop due to motion sickness.  But then we raced around a bit and had to stop because (while NOT in the middle of a race) Bigger Kid tripped on "a thing back there" and fell pretty good and got dirty.  She has a thing about not wanting to get dirty... which I appreciate.
Then we came back in and played the game where I draw something and she guesses what it is and she is pretty darn good at guessing.
Then it was time to go get Twinkles out of bed.  She was still pretty loopy when I brought her down and pretty silly.
We went outside to walk around till their dad got home and what a nice reunion that was.

I then rushed off to get my grocery list and get food then I rushed home to make dinner and clean up a little bit.  Then we ate dinner of Scrambled eggs, muffins, and sausage.  I then RUShed to the shower and now I am ready to go teach some youth how to boogie down to Charleston town.

Daily Entry

Today, I was really tired when GoodLooking got up for work.  I didn't even hear his alarm go off.  I finally noticed that my heat supply wasn't there so I got up and made him lunch and decided to stay up because I had to be up in 30 minutes anyway.  I showered, got ready, relaxed, then proceeded to fall asleep and be late to work.
Bigger Kid got up and I let her watch TV till she woke up fully and had breakfast.  Twinkles woke up so I went to get her and feed her a bottle.  She has an ear infection right now so I had to giver her ear drops.  It was going so well till I realized I had not compensated for my left not being her left (I don't have kids so I am not used to such things).  I just flipped her over and gave her new drops in the correct infected ear.  She did really well on both sides but the background picture on my phone got changed in the process.
We played several chasing games and then Twinkles desperately needed a nap so I put her down.  I like watching her lids droop and eventually close while I rock her.
After her nap, we all went outside.  Twinkles is pretty good about saying "socks" and "outside" and gets thoroughly excited about it.  She gets in the swing and usually she likes it but it didn't last long today (I think it is because I forgot her had today).  Then she found a dirty ball and Bigger Kid found some mud so we went back inside and watched an American Girl Doll movie.  Actually interesting because there were two actors in it that I recognized.
After the movie, I left and came home and fell asleep on the couch till I had to make dinner of bowties and spinich sausage with salad.
