Another Night in The Trenches

No, this isn’t strategically placed make-up under mine eyes…those would be shadows of the no sleep variety. I was on baby patrol again last night. Wonderboy was in his bed, so I was on the couch which was fine. Wonderbaby decided to be awake every hour and a half. Awake and either peeing or pooping on EVERYTHING and EVERYONE. Oy to the vey. Mom and Dad were both up which made me being up obselete and with nothing to do, I just watched.

have I mentioned, oy to the vey?

I just gave him a quick change of everything, diaper and clothing since he decided to pee all over his dad…what is it with you boys and your wee-wee’s? from the minute you come out you’re pointing and shooting on anything that gets in the way…except for ole Aunt Zelda! Me with the catlike reflexes….dry dry dry!

so today, after I drink my weight in coffee, we take the baby to his first doctors visit…and with mom, dad and mammo, I may skip out on that one. Then I pick up Wonderboy from school and he has to go have blood drawn….pretty sure I get stuck with that one. (can we drink vodka at the pediatrician’s office? anyone? anyone? just me? ok. fine with that.) Tonight I give haircuts to everyone but the baby and am on baby patrol yet again. Dad will take a handfull of sleep aid so he’ll be productive tomorrow.

At some point we go buy paint and stuff for casa de zelda. That will make me excited. Paint Party 08 is scheduled to begin next Saturday night and proceed until it’s finished! Halakaleem….Hala. Ka. Leem.

I’m pretty much just playing house with the kiddos this trip. I like it, frankly. last night I looked at the clock, during the second feeding after I’d been trying to be asleep for about an hour or two, and realized that I’d still be at Sunday Funday if I were at home! different worlds. totally different worlds…but I’m ok with that.

Huzzuah and Happy Monday to you regular folk.
Enjoy!

Soft Flowers and Pick Axes

Drove like a bat out of hell last night to arrive at Wonderbaby’s waking hour! Sweet sweet sweet child. We hung out, partied like rockstars, had feedings, watched some Deadliest Catch. Then slept. I stayed here at my sis’s house to help with the nighttime baby stuff. We rocked it out at 11:45/midnight, again at 3am and again at 5am. Dad got some well deserved rest so at that feeding he was up and I transferred myself, still in work clothes from Saturday, to Wonderboy’s bed and crashed a bit.

Wonderbaby is delightful. He doesn’t make much noise, just wiggles, eats, and poops. He’s a rockstar.

Wonderboy however, has already given me enough giggles to make my year. Here’s a few choice tidbits.

(touching Wonderbaby’s lips) Mammo, he’s as soft as a flower! (reaches over and touches a fake flower in a display) well. not that flower.

(having a spell of wild farts)
Mom: Is it poop day?
(it wasn’t poop day the previous day and if we go more than two days it hurts)
WB:nope. those are just butt workers. They work up there and chop stuff up and make it come out.
Mammo: well my butt workers are on strike!
(second day which is in fact, poop day)
WB: oh man…
Mom: did it hurt?
WB: yeah. My butt workers had pick axes.

Cue hysterical laughter.

Didn’t bring my wires to upload pics. Am coming home Tuesday so will give you a little Wonderbaby lovin at that time.

I’m exhausted. . . . .and ass deep in baby bliss.

Huzzuah and Happy Sunday Funday! Drink one for me,ya’ll…

I Have Another New Boyfriend

Saw Leatherheads tonight with StickMan. We had a great time, considering I got us there an entire hour too early. I’m a dumbass. Oh well. We talked and laughed and got caught up. I ate mall food (yummmmmm, Charlies!) and then we got a bigass bag of corn and some bigass pops and became the youngest two viewers in the theatre!

Let me first say, the movie was long. And StickMan is right, probably no awards, but I heart heart heart it. I still dislike the blonde…would give an ovary to do the witty banter scenes she has with my boyfriend…to be on the other end of THOSE LOOKS!!! Smokey. Sultry. Sexy….sigh.

And on the other side is Mr. Lanky Deliciousness! Those eyes. That height….mmmmmm…tall lanky men. Gert recently reminded me of my previous penchant for the lanky. I have the first season of The Office netflixed so I’ll come late to that party here shortly(dirty!)…fuck around kids. He’s cute! and Funny. and can hold his own (dirty!again!see a pattern?) in scenes with George.

I’m going to go purr for awhile. Damn the fact that I’m on the Frontier. . . the Mother Of All Showerheads is at my house…..

Purrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

I Have A New Boyfriend

I know we should probably still be talking about Wonderbaby, but I’ve already given all I got. I’ll have more after a visit and face time and millions of pictures to post. Therefore, I give you my new boyfriend.

Jason Segel.

Many of you already know and love him from How I Met Your Mother. I’ve watched that a bit, but without the dvr…no bueno. I fell for him though, in Freaks and Geeks. Then again in all the Apatow movies of late. He’s written and starring in the new one Forgetting Sarah Marshall and while doing the pr junket, gave an interview in Entertainment Weekly.

This interview made me fall into deep deep love. He is a funny, intelligent writer who has little problems being naked as well as loves the Muppets.

I love him.

Tonight, however, I’m making time for my George. Me and the Tall Texas cousin are seeing it before he goes back home from college this month. Anyone out there want to join us, please do so! It’ll be an early night for me. I have to meet my repair guy at about 8:30 in the morning at my house, then a full day of work (gonna make commission again! wahooo!) then leave from work to see Wonderbaby. . . which means packing and doing chores on the Frontier tonight.

I’ll be in touch. With posts and pic. Have just the best weekend everyone! Huzzuah and Happy Friday and I love George Clooney…(and Jason Segel!)am pretending that skinny blond bitch on the bike is MOI!

Wonderbaby Arrives!

Wonderbaby arrived yesterday at 12:58 p.m. after some hours of pretty serious labor. He weighed 8 pounds 6 ounces and was 20 inches long! halakaleem!

Wonderboy introduced himself, a little nervous about the whole thing, especially all the stuff still on mom such as the blood pressure cuff. He leaned over Wonderbaby and said, “I am your brother. I am going to teach you everything. I am going to teach you to count, and your abc’s. Today’s letter is Letter A because it’s the first letter of the alphabet. You will like my room, it’s all cowboy stuff.”

Sniffle.
Snork.

Delicious.

Arrival Day

Wonderbaby should be making his debut anytime today. Sis was going into the hospital early this morning, and beginning the dilation as soon as they could stick her with the needle. She said she was tired and bitchy and READY to have this baby! Wonderboy said, Mom, will you die when they cut you open?

someone is still a little scarred from previous trips to the hospital and lost babies and probably one too many bad things on the tv! He then went on to say, “Mom, me and dad decided we are glad we aren’t girls and have to put babies in our bellies”

Huh.
No shit lamar!!! Bright, that one is.

Sis is having her tubes tied, closing the factory after this is done. I say THANK GOD for that information. Enough. So she’ll be getting out of the hospital Friday or Saturday which is when I arrive.

I’ll keep you posted. I’ll send out a mass text as well. Say a prayer, please. For an easy delivery and a healthy birth, for both mother and child. This has been a three year road to get this one here…long and winding. Pray today for a fabulous finish!!

Mental Health Day

Fried. I’m just fried. Tired, too much party time, too much work time. So today, am doing a whole lot of nothing!

M’Lynn, Babs and I got so much work done on the casa yesterday! cleaned out the garage, completely, tore down a big ass bunch of wisteria and trellis and hauled it to the curb, painted two chairs on my porch, planted hostas and ferns (gifts from MLynn), taped up the three windows in the living/dining area, covered the floor in the guest room, then went to Sunday Funday with MGirl, Mandrea, her hubby Aron, and Seige. Free beer sometimes goes down way too fast!

I didn’t do anything at my house today, just slept in, came back to the frontier, fed the livestock and watched Martian Child. John Cusack and a kid. Hearts melt for miles. The movie had great moments…unfortunatly there weren’t a lot of them. Oh well. Pretty scenery.

Just heard from my mom that sis is dilated to a 3 so Wonderbaby may not wait until Wed to be born! Halakaleem!

That’s all I got kids. Tomorrow is a new week. then I’m in Arkansas for the weekend. Then we texture then painting the 19-21 then MOVING THE HELL IN!!!

swooooooooosh.
that would be life.
flying by.

Weekend Update

How’s your weekend thus far? It’s gorgeous here, in the 70’s today and tomorrow, which is fine by me! I have some projects for the house, tomorrow is big trash day so I’m hauling a bunch of crap out of the garage.

I saw Roger and Ma this week. They had to come up for some personal business and graciously brought me a truck full of stuff. Ma calls is something other than stuff, but I’ll take it! A little fridge, a rollaround thing with wire baskets for the kitchen, a little table (that was probably in every show I ever did at USAO) an atomic clock! Paint supplies and a little step stool. So generous!! Rog is coming back next week with more, maybe my table and chairs! We then went to Bellinni’s for dinner and talked and talked and talked and talked. Such a lovely evening!

Bonusmom gets in after 8 tonight from her trip to Aruba. Since Wonderbaby arrives on Wednesday, I’m assuming she’ll get here in time to unpack and jump in the car and head to Arkansas. talk about tired!!

I haven’t seen Leatherheads yet…I’m a bad girlfriend. I had to watch basketball yesterday though. Hung out with Seige and MGirl then headed home early. In the bed asleep by 11:30!! Felt SO GOOD to just be home and in the bed. My weeks are so hectic it seems lately. Today M’lynn and Babs will arrive with gloves and gumption to do work. MGirl possibly too. Tonight we’re having Sunday Funday and hanging out with a new fella in her life. Very excited!!! Life is full to the brim with goodness and mercy and great friends.

Have a happy Weekend!!!
