What's your talent?

It turns out I do have pseduo tumor, I've been taking the meds for about 5 days but am still seeing double.

G is totally turning my condition into a side show. Their neighbor friend was over the other day and this is how it went down,
G: Watch this!
G: Hey Brenda, take your bandana off (it helps me see better to only use one eye). Now, how many fingers am I holding up?
Me: 2 Gabriel.
G: See, she THOUGHT it was 2 but it was only 1!
Me: Can I put my bandana back on now, please?

If he starts having extra change to get candy bars I'm going to say he's charging admission.

The Sweet Baby went and turned one on us. She's still the same sweet baby though, she didn't grow up over night. But boy is she teething, that kid has some toxic poo right now like you would not believe. And she just discovered Elmo is on her Pampers.
"OMG. Why didn't you tell me of this before, Woman!? Did you know ELMO is on these?! Has he been here, GASP, the whole time!?"
Then she refused to let me put that diaper on her because she was not done telling him about her day and giving him kisses. That girl loves some Elmo right now.

Life lesson #549:

 If you buy the baby a toy Elmo cell phone for her first birthday, be prepared to think, "Did I change my ring tone?" 45 times a day.

Another Summer Almost Gone

The days left in our summer are numbered, very numbered. And if I do say so myself, I am just about ready to go back to school. I've been a bit sickly lately, I had a lot of pain for a few weeks and then started seeing double. Ni-Ni came to the rescue and after some tests the doctors think I have a pseduo tumor, which is a tumor that isn't really a tumor. I should be back to normal after some medication but we haven't go the results back from a test yet, so double I still see. That makes it a little difficult for me to take the kids to do fun stuff so they are getting a little restless, as am I.

We did venture out ot the library today. G was thrilled when I stumbled upon the non-fiction part of the children's section. He came home with enough books about dinosaurs to do some "research" for his upcoming paleontology career. He was pretty excited and started spitting out terms and info that stumped the rest of us.

The Sweet Baby will be one whole year old Friday. I am really hopeing I will only see oing ne of her by then! She is growing so much! She is in love with Elmo this week. She kept Poppy, NiNi, and me up from 3 to 5 this morning cutting her 2nd set of eye teeth. Poppy walked her back and forth in front of the TV talking away to Elmo. She had a washcloth to chew on, and quickly found it this afternoon stuck in the couch cushions. So all night she has been blowing her nose on it. Don't worry, nothing usually comes out because her nose isn't that snotty, but it is still funny to watch her blow in the cloth every few minutes. Sometimes she even checks to see if something came out. She is also learning how to chase those brothers of her's around the sofa. She even tries to tickle them with "the claw" like I do to her.
