Orange (Never melts (meef)) by jen

Lack of appropriate subject matter? Let the pictures tell the story! also: I gave J some (baby food) pears (that I made) today. It was his first taste of solid foods, snif... The first bite was just, yeah, yeah. He accepted it, didn't make a face, nothing. Then he fussed a little, so I offered him some more. Soon he was crying when it wasn't coming fast enough. By the end, he Posted in: d , j , kids , pics

the sheep is shorn (Never melts (meef)) by jen

After noticing D looked like a Beatle as of late, and L's been screaming when I so much as look at her hair, I decided it was high time to take the kids to get their first "real" haircuts. I've been in denial about D's hair for the longest time, but lately it's not staying nice and just flopping everywhere. And I didn't want to pay to do what I wanted... Can't see myself paying $20 a head to do what I can learn to do in 10 min or less by myself. Okay I read this and it makes me sound looney, but the truth is I just wanted to do it myself, for reasons I cannot understand. I guess it makes me feel competent and useful?

So in the span of about 5 minutes my 2yo Baby D looks like he's about FIVE! Holy crap! Between that, and the new shoes I had to buy him, and the fact he's totally out of toddler sized socks and into "boys" socks oh man where does the time GO???



For reference, here he is this morning. He was all proud that he put his hands in his pockets and wanted me to take a picture. (his hair is looking especially mccartney-esque here)



Anyway, I didn't touch the girl's hair. I might trim the ends but I want it a lot shorter, so I'm taking her in. Posted in: d , kids , pics

not tired (Never melts (meef)) by jen

no sir, no way. never mind that I was up pestering you till 11pm and had to be dragged to my room kicking and screaming and still didn't go to bed for a long while. Never mind that I was sitting in your bed, at 3am, just STARING at you and really creeping you out, and wouldn't lay down when you told me to. Never mind that you tried to get me to nap all day even when I was bitching about my eye and when you looked at it you told me it was just rolling back in my head because I was SO TIRED.

But I'm NOT!

SEE??




See! I'm still typing!




Oh goody now I get to nap at 5PM so I am well rested for another night of shenanigans! thxmom! Posted in: d

waiting for the "you have depression" emails... (Never melts (meef)) by jen

I'm not allowed to whine on my blog any more because I get tons of nasty email and sarcastic responses. Sometimes trying to deal direcly with the source of a problem gets me yelled at by the very source of the problem. And of course a lot of people like to make themselves feel superior by turning around and placing the blame on me (or trying to, anyway,) and implying that I am the only one who Posted in: d , kids , omgz angry bad jen

a kiss (Never melts (meef)) by jen

Every time I put the boy in his crib I kiss the side of his head before I put him down. Lately he's been understanding more and more. Like when he wants to nurse and I tell him to go get his pillow, he does. When he's tired I ask him if he wants to go night night and he goes up to the stair gate, grabs it by the slats, and starts shaking it. Tonight I did that, put him up and told him to go up Posted in: d , kids
