Perfect Timing

Timing is everything in life, right? Historically, my husband and I have had terrible timing. We are never on the same page at the same time. We even couldn't get our wedding pulled off in a reasonable time frame. O'well, right. We've made it work.

Well, it seems our little Gremlin has impeccable timing, in many ways. Below are a few photos from last night. Lately, her favorite game is peak-a-boo. She will hide behind a curtain and when you ask the room where she is, poof, she reappears. Now she has taken to sitting in the pantry, closing the door and when you ask where she is, she pushes the door open and sticks her hands out. It is quite funny. If you ask her to do it again, she will. And she won't open the door until you ask where she is. Please note the little feet sticking out of the bottom of the pantry. That is the best part.


To prove how terrible my timing is in comparison, this morning I had the perfect shot. Her Majesty was on the bed and The Gremlin saw her and ran over. This prompted The Monster to need to be in on the sister-loving action, of course. Then The Gremlin insisted (emphatically banging on the bed saying "up, peas") on sitting next to Her Majesty. So for a brief moment, all three were sitting there "smiling" and looking at me. And I had my camera in my hand. But in the time it took me to focus on them, The Monster licked The Gremlin in the face and the moment was gone. Below is what I got instead. 



Also, as an update for Grandma. The Gremlin has a new favorite food... perogies. And she can say the word. Guess it is time for me to learn how to make them. Or you could drive up a care package each month. ;)

    The feet sticking out under the door is possibly the cutest thing I've ever seen.

    Glad her Polish/Slovack heritage is shining through! Kielbasi and stuffed cabbage are next. I will be happy to bring the care packages but I would love to have a back up.

Hi Ho Hi Ho, It's Off to Work I Go

Had to head into the office today. Everyone went along with the show this morning and we didn't have too many glitches. Other than the fact that someone likes to eat the Play-Dough. I gave her one warning and told her it was going away if she ate it again, so of course she ate it again. I know she knows what I am saying and is just testing me to see if I will do what I threaten. I tell you, it is hard to be firm and consistent. Especially when she looks up at me with a single tear in her eye and points at the Play-Dough and says "Doe...more...peez!" And as for the first day at the nanny yesterday... 2.0 was PERFECT. He stayed on schedule, went down for his naps with no issues, didn't cry or fuss and ate just a little less than each bottle I sent over. When I picked them up the nanny said, "he's nothing like the Gremlin was back then." No, he isn't, THANK GOD!!! And of course big sister LOVED having him there with her all day long. As for me, I ...

Signs, Signs, Everywhere There's Signs

I believe 100% that the universe (or God or Allah or whatever you think helps us be part of more than ourselves) sends us signs. They can be very subtle, more like a light wind than a burning bush. Or they can be so overt we feel foolish for not heeding them. Lately, I've had the fire department on speed dial with all the burning bushes in my life. In the past three weeks, I've gotten multiple signs about multiple items in my life. There was the nightmare about an inoperable brain tumor that made it clear I need to talk to someone about a problem I was having with them. There was the conversation with my sister about husky rescues and rain that resulted in rain for the first time in weeks and a potential adoption opportunity (no, we did not get another husky, much to my dismay). There was the person who walked past my house five days in a row with a literal sign on  before I realized I hadn't gone outside in five days. And now, another one just happened and I can't igno...

Wouldn't Trade It for the World

I wish I had a way of recording life as it was happening. I wanted to preserve the memory of what happened that badly, so I am writing it here to remember forever... I'll give you a little back story first. The Gremlin woke up around 5:15 or so and cried out for a few minutes. It was an odd cry. It was not her "I'm hungry" cry or a simple "I woke up and didn't want to" cry. This was more of a "I am scared, help me" sound. But she fell back asleep, so I figured it was just a bad dream and now it was done. 2.0 woke up at 6:15, so I went in to feed him. And when I got to his door, the Gremlin started crying out again. And didn't stop. My husband has to leave for work at 6:45, so there was no way he was going to be able to help out. I was on my own. So after I finished feeding 2.0, I went into the Gremlin's room. This is when I wanted the filming to start. I walked in and saw something that just broke my heart. The Gremlin was sittin...
