Lover of Sweets: One Month later

One Month later

Yes, I am STILL alive if any of you are wondering (as I am sure you are).
What is it about summer that would make me drop off the face of the blogging world?
Perhaps it is the fact that I let my kids stay up way too late, or the broken promises to watch a movie with Sweets night after night or maybe that I sleep in 'til 10:00 o'clock every morning and then rush off to the gym to get a quick work-out in before running around and performing various errands and shoppings?
Well, I am a slacker, this much is true. However, I truly can not say that I am too concerned about it. This time of my life is a happy one. I really like what I've got going on and I am going to relish in it and enjoy the fun little moments that make up my every day life.
My girls are swimming like pretty little whimsical mermaids (thanks to swim lessons referred to me by Pooka and Perla....hey this would be a great name for a little boutique, "Pooka & Perla's").
Treatums yells demands at me all day...a lot of times I just feel like a big piece of white trash (or Chilean) when I'm out in public with him yelling threats at me all the while he is jumping off things or just plain taking off. But, it is always quite endearing when the little fella tells me "I love you so so much Mom! I am so proud of you!"
I love my life.

Jana said...: It is good to hear from you - I was wondering about you and never told you how much I LOVED that funny story of your Lover's about the aliens. I took it on the plane with me and read it 3 times while laughing and not really hating that Shamlamalulu guy so much now that I know he was not so smart in the writing of the alien story. I am happy you are happy. There is something wonderful about summer and most of that something is doing nothing! Continue being busy with nothing!; July 10, 2008 at 9:32 PM
Welcome! said...: So ya, where did you get that new, funky background for your blog...you are so 2000!! Funny you just posted yesterday and here I am up at 1:24am--the only time I blog and posted a few cute photogs. Mike just called down from the bedroom and asked, "what are you doin'? Oh, just some bills dear, don't worry, go to bed....Blogs are evil....; July 11, 2008 at 12:27 AM

Why am I so gutless that I can't exercise without you my personal trainer and maybe my body guard if I ever get famous and need security...cuz you scare people with your smack talking; July 11, 2008 at 7:57 AM

Nancy said...: All I can keep thinking is "WHAT THE!!! Sleep til 10:00!!!!" You are a lucky lucky woman and I don't think I've slept past 9 for about 12 years . .. maybe one day when my youngest is busy running around keeping himself entertained with threatening folks I will be able to peacefully sleep sleep sleep. Anywho, I thought you had died a blogging death, so I am so happy I have that little google reader device that just lets me click one quick place to see if anyone I love has posted something new or I never ever would have guessed that suddenly here you would be alive again!!!; July 11, 2008 at 8:55 AM
Kass said...: I'm glad someone is having a real "summer." I have been busier than when school is in or activities are in full swing, etc. I don't know what happened to my summer, but I am going like crazy. Now that I'm home for a few weeks let's run already! Mon. or Tues. did we say?; July 12, 2008 at 10:16 PM
Mugsy said...: O don't I know it...Summer can be so crazy and so fun that time just escapes you! Loev you and hope to see you so soon!; July 13, 2008 at 5:51 PM

Cool Things My Kids Say

Gordy: "let's hug everychother"...said when Sweets gets home from work and I'm kissing him hello. Little dude will usually run over to us and want to be picked up and hugged by both of us at the same time. So cute.
Gordy: "What heck!?" Said when Maddie was throwing a huge fit at some hotel we were staying at some hotel.
Gordy: "I'm outta heo (here)!", said when he was fed up with his sisters.
Gordy: "I'm so sick of it"
The other night at the dinner table I told the little guy that he needed to tidy up his room after dinner. He leaned back in his chair, put his hand behind his head and sighed "Aw Mom! I'd love to do that, but I'm too tired!"
A sweet conversation while my girls were bathing (I was in the next room): Charley: "Mom? Do women HAVE to get naked when they have babies?" Maddie chimes in before I have the chance to answer "NO, only SOME women, like Catholics".
Today from the backseat, Gordy said to me "Mom, I don't dream about noodles." This statement was of course in reference to the movie, Kung Fu panda. So then I asked him what he DOES dream about. Well, he proceeded to tell me what kind of trucks and superheroes he dreams about for the next five minutes straight. THAT is a long time for such a little person!
I had to put Treatums in time-out in his room today for yelling at me. I told him that he could come out when he was ready to speak nicely. A few minutes later he came out into the kitchen and very calmly announced "MOm, I'm gonna talk to the police if you don't stop it". So back to his room he went.
Last night while I was at work little dude was in bed watching TV with Sweets when all of a sudden he looked over and asked his dad "are you a woman?". Sweets, taken aback said "No, I'm a man." Then little dude: "Oh, you're a man?"
Chookie yelling "Neva!"; which is to say "Never!"...when badly offended. Later it was "Never never again! HMM!" and then a good slamming of the door. I remember loving to offend her just to see all the tiny drama.
NoniGirl went to a baptism with Sweets, during the hymn NoniGirl turned to her dad and asked "Do you even hear yourself singing, your voice is all low and like blah blah blah".
Chookie telling Nonigirl "Weo, you stink" when Nonigirl announced that something at the dinner table was stinky , informing us that she "has good smells" (meaning her nose is sensitive to smells).
Today I overheard Gordy playing with a little race car made of Legos that Nik had made a long time ago. He was yelling "Steve come back!" I asked Charley who this Steve was and she told me that Gordy named his car Steve. What? I keep wondering where he has even heard that name!
When Charley was 2 she would always tell me she loved me. One day I gave her some chocolate milk in her sippy cup. She looked at me and then down at ther milk and said "I yuh you chochet miwt". Which is to say: I love you chocolate milk.
