Well, friends, it's been a couple of weeks, so I figure I better get back up on the blogging pony. I can't let this super scary computer scare me anymore. The blogging world is your friend, The blogging world is your friend. I'm a great person, and everybody loves me. I'm special. There I feel MUCH better now. On with the show....
It's not like I haven't been super busy taking care of a sickly Super Mega Mommy, or trying to keep up on that wonderful, wonderful mentally taxing first grade homework. Or dealing with "potty training" issues with the toddler Princess (we have invested heavily in carpet cleaner stock and little girl panty factories). I would LOVE to say that I've been just sitting on my rear eating Twinkies and chugging Dr. Pepper while watching The View. But, alas, it isn't so. I blissfully stare at my unwatched Netflix movie sitting on top of my brand new BluRay player as I slowly shuffle on by on my way to the next toddler created pee-pee stain in the carpet all while trying to keep the poopy stained toddler panties pile down to a manageable level with twice a day washing.
Sadly, Super Mega Mommy is still sick. The tummy still isn't happy with her, and she's even gained some more very interesting side issues which just add to the whole funness factor. If it's not one thing, something new always comes to poke it's germy head out. At this point in time, we're just expecting the four horsemen to proclaim the beginning of the end is near and for all of humanity to shake with fear. She's still going like a trooper though, and has even been going to work. Today, however, they kicked her out because she might spread her newest cooties around the office, but alas, after a quick check on Google and ContagiousOrNot.com, it appears her cooties are done spreading willy nilly and have decided to tuck in for the long haul, so she's allowed to grace her coworkers with her presence once again. She's pretty bummed out because there was a good chance she was going to be able to work from home. I personally think she got the better deal, though. Otherwise, she would have been on potty duty with me. And believe me, potty duty isn't as much fun as it sounds. Oh NO. Just a couple of hints on this one. Really wet, smelly toddler, and really wet, smelly carpets. I just shudder thinking about it. I mean, EWWWW! There has GOT to be an easier way.
On another note, Super Michael has gotten the coveted Cat #2 part in the Little Red Hen play in his first grade class. He has proclaimed to whoever that will listen that this is a pretty good part because he will get to hiss at everybody. This is considered an excellent point, so we just leave it at that. Unfortunately, however, he has begun taking his part rather seriously and hisses at anybody and everybody in his general vicinity. This includes his parents, little sister, the lady at the grocery store, everybody we walk by at the farmers market downtown, a lizard he saw in the backyard, and the grass outside the office. If memory serves correctly, he DIDN'T hiss at his lunch, however, I hear him over in the play room hissing at his toys. Thanks Mrs. H. Thanks a LOT. You will be happy to know that he is fully INTO this part and he will probably be the BEST Cat #2 you have ever laid your eyes on. I'm talking Oscar material hissing here.
And THIS break from school, I PROMISE that we will keep up on doing school work. The last break, he forgot EVERYTHING he learned and it was a VERY painful month or so before we got back into the whole game again. It was like the dam sprung a leak and 1+1 just started leaking out of his ears.
So, there you have it...my past couple of weeks in a nutshell...Germs, poop, and hissing. But, hey, it's Spring time, the bunny is going to be laying some eggs here this weekend, and I'm a Super Star! I wouldn't want it any other way.
