DQ or bust!

I had a craving for DQ but being cheap overrulled that.

Ttub of icecream and organic rice chips for the same price as DQ..

It was one of thoes gratifying trips to the store... Had the door held open for me by a stranger... talked with a kid about what icecream to pick.. checked out the chocolate and butterscotch icecream toppings but resisted the urge to buy them.. talked with the cashier about the pros and cons of old fashioned popped popcorn verses microwave.. driving with the windows open on a damp, warm summer evening..

Kids say the darnedest things!

This weekend my 2.5 year old had a tummyache at about 10:00 so I let her come downstairs and watch tv and have a drink. When she noticed that it was really dark out she was saying it's 'time to wake up the sun,' that was cute... when I went to the kitchen I could hear her talking.. She was YELLING out the window "Wake UP SUN. Time to wake Up!" I wonder what the neighbors thought of that!

She was playing with her 6 year old sister at the small kids table when I heard her say "STOP TALKING ALREADY! GEEES!"

This did upset my 6 year old but she kept right on talking.. as usual! a few minutes later I hear "I said Stop talking or you go on timeout!"

Whats on your table?

{did I mention it's a small table!!}

I love the end of the day cleanup..

today I found a donkey and a horse, one on top of the other, sitting on the coffee table..

Coffee table.. on my coffee table is: kleenex box, wipes box, water bottle, teething toys, 4 .. yes 4 remotes, an empty sippy cup, sleeper size 6months, 3 hair accessories, and a book, called "Too Many Books!" (Tibo, G & St-Aubin, B. 2003).

What's on your living room table?

Facebook

The meaning of life...

What is it all for.. I raised up my arms and spun around saying.." is this what life is.. mess on every surface, displaying our stuff that you can't take with you.

Life is the connections with people. I was just saying that if it wasn't for social networking I wouldn't be social at all! but I love it. I read my facebook every spare moment to find out how other peoples days are. I love to read the enthusiasm from A about her little boy, just a bit older than S.T. I love to read how J's day at work was and her kids posting photo's. If it wasn't for H posting minute by minute intense emotional teenage feelings, my home page would sometime be just farmville requests!

Breastfeeding, Dr Seuss Style!

Breastfeeding, Dr Seuss style!

Would you nurse him in a park?
Would you nurse him in the dark?
Would you nurse him with a boppy?
And when your boobs are feeling floppy?

I would nurse her in the park.
I would nurse him in the dark.
I'd nurse with or without a boppy.
Floppy boobs will never stop me.

Can you nurse with your seat belt on?
Can you nurse from dusk til dawn?
Though she may pinch me, bite me, pull,
I will nurse her til she's full.

Can you nurse and make some soup?
Can you nurse and feed the group?
It makes her healthy strong and smart,
Mommy's milk is the best start!

Would you nurse him at the game?
Would you nurse her in the rain?
In front of those who dare complain?
I would nurse him at the game.
I would nurse her in the rain.
As for those who protest lactation,
I have a perfect explanation.
Mommy milk is tailor made
It's perfect food, you need no aid.
Some may scoff and some may wriggle,
Avert their eyes or even giggle.

To those who can be cruel and rude,
Remind them breast's the perfect food.
I would never scoff or giggle,
Roll my eyes or even wiggle!
I would never be so crass or crude,
I KNOW that this milk's the perfect food!

We make the right amount we need,
The perfect temp for every feed.
There's no compare to milk from breast-
The perfect food, above the rest.

Those nursing smiles are oh so sweet,
Mommy milk is such a treat.
Human milk just can't be beat.
I will nurse, in any case,
On the street or in your face.
I will not let my baby cry,
I'll meet her needs, I'll always try.
It's not about what's good for you,
It's best for babies, through and through.

I will nurse her in my home,
I will nurse her when I roam.
Leave me be lads, leave me be ma'am
I will nurse her, MOM I am.
