Blog-mania

My darling husband has jumped on the blog bandwagon and has created his own blog. To check it out go to: http://www.mikeslogicblog.blogspot.com/

Now let's see if I can get it to link!

The age that we live in. . .

Child just said to me "Noggin dot com" Child isn't 3 yet but she already surfs the web.

Now Broadcasting to Grandparents

We got a webcam today at Grammy's request. Child got bored with it but it was pretty cool. Now the grandparents can she the Princess Royale live. It's very Jetsons like!

What's sadder than becoming a football widow?

The notion that your toddler may no longer need to nap.

Poo the sports hiatus is almost over

The conclusion of this week will bring me back to football widow status. Luckily we are attending a wedding this weekend during the NC State game but Husband has his Fantasy Football draft this weekend. Don't get me started on Fantasy Football. Husband views this as an investment. However he and his friends are stupid enough to give their fantasy football money to someone who never pays out at the end of the season. Husband get State tickets as a birthday gift from his mother for the past couple of years. Every Saturday will be devoted to college football and each Sunday and Monday night is spent in front of the TV watching professional football games. As soon as you think football is over basketball starts. I don't know which is worse.

Husband and I have made a bet over the college football season. Whoever's team does better gets to fly their flag on their house, while the loser gets shafted to a small garden flag. I do need to go out and find a West Virginia flag since WVU did better than State during the last March Madness.

Child went to a birthday party at the park today. Enjoying her cupcake.

The sound of silence

It's 8:41 and amazingly Child is sleeping in today. She normally wakes up around 7:00. I do realize that we may have to go napless today, which I'm willing to risk to have a cup of coffee - which I normally on get on the weekends or special occasions. I've been wondering why she hasn't woken up, when I realize that they are not banging around on the house that they are constructing behind us. This must be the reason why she's still asleep. I think today we are just going to kick back and relax at home - if that's possible.

Snip Snip - girly girl day

One day she'll love to go on outings like we did today - that's what I tell myself. Today Child got her hair cut. After hearing to husband complain endlessly about her hair, I gathered up Child and headed out to the hair cut place. Usually Child hates getting her hair cut. Well, the first time I cut her hair she did pretty good, last time it was ugly. This time we had a good experience, the hairdresser knew what she was doing and Child actually sat still. If you haven't been to a place that is designated for children to get their hair cut, I recommend that you take a peek. They have video games, prizes, toys, a whole bunch of stuff to keep your kid occupied so they don't mind someone coming at their head with scissors. Child got 2 lollypops and then she even got to trade in her hair for a prize. When I was little I either had to go to the Hair Cuttery or have my grandmother cut my hair. I left my haircuts with 1 lollypop (if I was lucky) and a bowlshaped hair do. That Dorothy Hamill, owes millions of girls apologies for having a hair style that looks like a bowl has been stuck on her head.

After the haircut, we visited my friends ZZ & A at my former place of work. It was great seeing them and Child had a ton running around in their office. Sometimes I miss working - but then I realize I only miss hanging out with ZZ & A and being in on the practical jokes. I don't miss the work part - when one of my 5 bosses would tell me to do some inane task that a helper monkey should be doing. We had lunch with them and had terrible service. We had Child's favorite food: pancakes & potatoes.

We proceeded to the mall after lunch where Child's foot got measured. Her foot has grown a whole size since May. Isn't that crazy? She has just gone through a growth spurt, where her torso has gotten longer so all of her shirts are belly shirts now. My daughter who has the look of a pre-pregnancy Brittney Spears with Oprah feet.

What child loves to do while she's supposed to take a nap. . what you can't see is the contents of her dresser drawers all over the bed
