8-tracks
Is there anyone out there interested in 8-track tapes? Or should our collection (over two milkcrates) go to Goodwill?
Thoughts
I have recently discovered this
website. After looking at these, I feel good about myself.
Not yet ready to wear a bikini, out in public or even in private, but
better.
After Becca, all I finished up with was a c-section scar, which was not
on display for the public, and a little tiny pot, such as what Madonna
had for years. There had been of few stretchmarks, but they were
on the underside of...
1st birthday gift
This will now be my standard gift for a child’s first birthday. Both boys love to play with it as does Becca.
If you are invitied to any birthday parties that I am also invited to, you may not steal my gift idea.
The time has come for booster seats
Several weeks ago, the boys demostrated that they were fully capable of
detaching the tray from their high chairs while they were seated and
flinging them across the room. We removed the trays, lowered the
high chairs and started putting their food on the table.
This has worked well. Until this weekend. The boys have now
demonstrated that they are fully capable of sliding the high...
Reunion
I will shortly be requiring shopping assistance for reunion wear.
I will be accepting applications either here or through email.
Material things repaired
During that huge electrical storm we had about a month ago, my bedroom
tv was fried. This was bad, as I sleep better with the constant
noise and the bit of light is good for when Becca comes down to our
room.
About 1 1/2 years ago, my Mickey lamp stopped working.
While I was out Saturday night, my wonderful hubby opened up the
tv. He found the bad fuse and replace it on Sunday. He...
Privates
I have been wondering since the boys were born when Becca would notice
and ask about the difference between boy privates and girl privates.
It was last night.
Per Becca, the difference is that boy privates have a tail.
Slingshot
In Japan.
One day, my friend’s brother found a store off-base which had
slingshots and these little colored balls that would explode under
pressure. Not the kind that pop when you just drop them.
You would have to grind these heavily under your foot. They came
back with several slingshots and many bags of the poppers.
We spent almost an hour shooting them against the side of one of the...
Truckload
Around 2am, Becca decided that our bed was more comfy than hers.
She made only one trip down the hall to our room. With her she
brought 3 cabbage patch dolls and 1 teddy, who is the same size of the
cabbage patch dolls.
I am impressed.
And the boys’ wet morning diapers are some of the stinkiest things that can be found.
Cleaning habits
When I was younger my room was a Grade A mess. I recall one time
when my brothers and I were getting ready to make our summer trip to
visit our da. My mom was going to go and visit friends and family
at the same time. I stayed up late the night before cleaning my
room. I felt that it looked clean to me. Even now, trying
to recall what it looked like when we left, it still doesn’t seem...
Emergency room
Everyone was outside playing this afternoon. Magnus went up to
the play house and was having fun opening the door, waving, turning
around and closing the door from the inside. One of those times,
he went to step inside and fell down. Crying commenced.
Becca rushed over and closed the door and the shutters.
When retrieving the crying child, he was found to be bloody. Poor
guy cut his lip on...
Waste of minimal money
I picked up some flash cards for Becca to play with, seeing as how she
is reading off everything she can see. Not as a pressuring parent
type of thing. More as a game thing. And at least that way,
I thought I could have her look at those in the car instead of rude
bumber stickers that I would rather she not read. These
are the flash cards I got. She just went through the whole box,
flipping...
