Misc. Thoughts by Robyn,
January 17, 2008
Well, I’m feeling rather Jack Handy-like this morning so thought I would write a meaningless post about things that only I care about.
****I’m really annoyed by the people who live across the street and 4 houses down from my son’s school and still drive their kids to school in their HUMMER.
****I took Gus to the doctor the other day (a new one, closer to our home) and was talking to him about how Gus’ circumcision wasn’t right. The dr. said “oh, it’s okay it only needs separated” and proceeded to RIP this poor baby’s foreskin away from the tip. Every time I change his diaper he cries and it breaks my heart. I seriously hate peepee problems. I’m not a crazy circumcision lady but gosh, just leave them alone. I’ve had way more problems with Logan and Gus who are cut than I’ve ever had with Seth who isn’t. Someday my boys will be oh so glad I shared this info.
****It snowed again last night. Our family operates with only one car so I really hate getting this little kids out when it so cold. Then I had to fight the oldest on wearing a coat to school. NO, a hoodie does NOT count as a coat!!!
****My house is trashed. I tried to get some help last night and it really wasn’t much help. As my mother-in-law used to say, our house looks like one of those houses on Cops that they show. And they let me have foster kids. I have about 3 days worth of laundry to do. I feel like I am juggling most of the time, I keep the balls in the air for a while but eventually drop them all and it ends up looking like this! Then I get stressed and just don’t do anything because I can’t clean it the way I want to and it won’t stay that way anyway. I know, I just have to do it and take babysteps.
****Seth is sick and the older one can’t understand why he gets to stay home and she can’t. Uhm, well he’s 3 and school is not his job yet. And you aren’t pooping your pants every 5 minutes and yacking at the same time. Your runny nose isn’t staying home sick. I love our new one but I get so tired of the comparisons. I guess it’s just the age. How cynical am I to have to start teaching the kids that life isn’t fair?
****I re-registered (just for 30 days) at the message board that started my message board career. OHhhh Freddy, my how the mighty have fallen. It was just a sad place with lots of people who needed to take a test before trying to have a baby. The whole thing just took me back to that time of my life when I was so desperate for another baby and just let it consume my whole being. I’m glad to be past that and to have my family and see that temps, and CM and all that junk doesn’t make a kid mine. Sitting with him while he cries because he doesn’t understand why he is in a different place that made Seth mine and all those other fights we’ve had to go through to get him to where he is now. I think I’ll always be a bitter infertile (or once-fertile) but the hurt is finally gone and that is good.
Well, I smell another diaper in my area so I guess Seth isn’t going to school again! Hopefully he will take a nap today, I really love my quiet time!!
