OCD Anyone?

This child is going to be the death of me. Many things I don't really care about, but some things I am very obsessive about. For some reason having the Gremlin's clothing organized is one of the things I obsess over. Apparently, so does she. Unfortunately, we have different organizational ideas.

We spent 5 minutes this morning moving all our pants from two drawers into one, then moving all our long sleeved onesies into the old pants drawer. Then we proceeded to take EVERYTHING out of those drawers and move them into a pile in mom and dad's room. This was not an easy task. There were lots of obstacles in the way, including the Monster, who was lying in the middle of the hallway and refused to move, and our smoothie cup, which got knocked over many times (followed by an "uh oh" and then having to show me the knocked over the cup and me watching her put it upright again). Not too mention, she has a lot of clothes. So there were multiple trips to be made.

I hope she is as strong-willed and determined when it comes to the things that really matter in life!

    Hilarious! We have a lot of reorganization at our house too, except its MY drawers that are the focus. I guess it's a nice surprise to find a book, brush, or even a tampon in my PJ drawer :)

    We end up with a lot of cat toys in my drawers and Mark's clothes in the laundry hamper (I wonder if she is trying to tell him something?).

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...
