Tonight I can't decide if I'm depressed, or happy. I'm sad that Mikyla is growing up so quickly. But on the other hand, I'm glad she's going to be going to school, she's so looking forward to it. I'm sad that she's growing away. But then again, I've known for a long time that that would start happening.
Oh don't get me wrong, she's still Mammy's girl, by far, but still... I think that will change a ton come August. And that's natural, it's right.
I've been so busy here lately, I don't have time to look up. A woman named Gwen sent me some ghost photos to post last week, and I just got time to do that tonight. That's odd for me. I've always managed to at least update my website. I don't know if Sarah's going to continue working or quit, with this new baby on the way, she's seemed to have lost all interest in working outside the home. I know she isn't feeling the best, so that's probably a lot to do with it.
My life is passing so quickly. Watching the kids grow, I don't notice, but I'm growing older too. My hair is graying faster and faster, my joints ache if I try to move them too quickly. My friends are phoning me with heart ailments nowadays and what's worse, I'm starting to recognise names in the local obituaries.
I guess it's time for AARP.. and that .. extra life insurance they advertise on television, that's just a little something extra to bury you with. And one of those emergency medical bracelets that tell my ailments to the paramedics for just in case I can't tell them myself. No, wait, my ailments aren't yet known. They're still lurking, hiding inside my body, waiting to surprise me someday in the future.
Oh, and maybe it's time for me to look into getting one of those little "Help me! I've fallen and I can't get up!" beeper things.
Acey is going to be staying with us now instead of day care. Turns out that he was in a situation to choose last night and he choose Mammy's house.. so he would be able to be with Mawwowy. He does so love Mallory. :)
I guess as long as I'm able to fuss at the kids, I'm doing okay.
You should be a fly on the wall in my house somedays...
Mallory: Wake up Mammy, it's daytime!!
Me: Okay, I will wake up, one sec!
Mikyla: Mammy can we have biscuits today? Not cooked hard though.
Me: Sure, just get you some out of the fridge, bust open that little tube and have at it, want a fork?!
Stan: Have you seen my coffee filters?
Me: Sarah took them home, she was out of toilet paper.
Stan: Why didnt' she just take a roll of toilet paper?
Me: Because she was out of coffee filters too.
Stan: I'll get the mail.
Me: Okay, don't let the cat in!
Mallory: Can I have cereal?
Me: Sure! Just let me put the cat back outside!
Mikyla: Did you know you can make hats with these biscuits?
Me: Pass this cereal to Joel, Mallory.
Mallory: Him don't want it.
Me: Give it to him, nice hat Mikyla, now you need a bath, the dough stuck in your hair!
Mikyla: That's alright, Mammy, I like dough!
Me: Joel! Put your eye back!
Mallory: HIM DON'T WANT IT!
Me: Mal, you have your own cereal, give Joel's to him!
Mikyla: I want juice.
Me: Okay, one sec, let me get Joel's cereal back and give it to him.
Mallory: I'll take Joel's and you can give Joel mine!
Me: Fine, let's just give the child something to eat!
Mikyla: He can have a biscuit!
Me: Here's your juice, don't spill it!
Mikyla: I won't.
Stan: All we got were advertisements, want to look at them?
Me: Yeah, just let me wipe up this juice!
Stan: Did you know Mikyla's feeding Joel dough out of her hair?
Me: No, I didn't. Mikyla, don't feed him dough out of your hair.
Mallory: He likes it!
Me: JOEL! PUT YOUR EYE BACK!
Mikyla: OW, JOEL JUST PULLED MY HAIR!
Me: Get away from him, he's just after the biscuit!
Mallory: Can Joel have some more cereal?
Me: Joel, or you?
Mallory: Joel, I ate all of his.
Me: Let me put this chicken out to thaw, one sec.
Stan: Chicken tonight?
Me: No, I'm just putting this out to thaw for the cat. Yes, we're having chicken tonight.
Mikyla: I don't like your chicken. I want chicken from Burger King.
Me: Pretend it's from Burger King.
Mikyla: Can I go play Banjo and Kathooie?
Me: Sure, just let me get Mal some more cereal.
Mal: Mammy I threw away the papers for you.
Me: Thank you honey, here's your cereal.
Mal: I'm full. I don't want it. Give it to Joel!
Stan: How are you going to make the chicken tonight? Fried or Baked?
Me: What papers?
Mikyla: MAAAAMMY Turn on Banjo and Kathooie for meeeee!!
Me: I think I'll fry it, is that okay?
Stan: I love it, sounds good. She threw away the ads..
Me: I didn't look at them yet.
Mallory: I emptied the cereal for you mammy.
Stan: She poured it on the ads.
Me: S'ok, I don't want to go shopping anyway. I'll be right back, I have to go turn on Banjo and Kazooie! JOEL! PUT YOUR EYE BACK!!
