They enjoyed one anothers company immensely and entertained each others so the adults could relax and chat a little. I know these are times the girls will remember forever!We need a water proof phone. We had our third casualty of the season last night. Phones do not go in the toilet, they will not survive! I was forced to spend the whole day almost phoneless. We do have a phone on the wall in the dining room but you have to yell so hard into the handset to be heard that the neighbors can easily follow the conversation. I am dead serious, my throat is actually a little sore tonight from the few conversations I tried to have.
Oh well, we shouldn't be needing the phone much in the next few days anyway. We have family in town until Thursday and then more coming in for the weekend. The girls are excited and its a nice way to kick off the Spring. The weather is gorgeous and tomorrow we are supposed to be pushing 80. Ahhhhh we finally made it!
I want my hour back now! It is strange how big of a difference one little hour can make. I can't believe I have to wait clear until November until I see the likes of her again. I've really thought about it and in the fall you don't gain an hour at all, you only get the hour that was so wrongfully ripped from your schedule back. In the meantime we all suffer the jet lag that is daylight savings time.
Yesterday I had to go to Wal-Mart to grab a few things and having the wandering mind that I have, ended up getting Midge's ears pierced. It ended up being a lot less dramatic than I thought it would be. The lady who did it was very nice and obviously experienced. Midge really wasn't bothered and only cried a little bit right when it first happened. Chiggie on the other hand ran wildly through the store screaming "that lady has a gun and she just shot my sister." I had to get them some candy just to calm everyone down. Not from the piercing but from Chiggie's episode.
I did get some dirty looks from some bystanders. I just calmly explained to them that I was only getting her ears pierced because the artist at the tattoo parlor we tried refused to put the rose I wanted on her hip. Kidding. Maybe.
We all left in one piece and let me tell you she is adorable! This is the best shot I could get for now. I'll try to get a better pic when she's a little less irritable.
My hay fever is awful already this year. Itchy watery eyes, itchy throat, a nose that alternates between stuffed and runny, and lots of sinus pain and pressure. It's a great cover though for my exhaustion and exasperation with the way our nights have been going. I am proud to say that I have held strong though and any screaming I have done has been into my pillow.
Last night I went upstairs waaaaayyyyy past bedtime to find Tea in a bikini rocking in the rocking chair looking at a book. No big deal really except she isn't fully potty trained, her diaper was off, and the chair was wet. Uggghhhh. It's times like these that I want to call my OB and see if there is anyway that I can have my due date changed to January of 2008. But this too shall pass right?
In other news the weather is really perking up. The trees and flowers are budding and Spring is definitely in the air. We have gone for a couple of walks in the girls new wagon this week and they are enjoying the fresh air. Yesterday the city came and did some major trimming to a tree right in front of our house. All the while Chiggie stood on the porch, with the windows open, chanting "don't mess with me or the tree of liberty!" Maybe we have an environmental activist on our hands? At least they are all healthy, and right now trust me I'll take what I can get!
Just to let everyone know Tea is feeling much better. She didn't end up having to go back to the doctor and whatever it is that she came down with seems to be over. On the other hand this crib to a bed thing is killing me. The first night went awesome. They both stayed upstairs, fell asleep at a decent time and I enjoyed my good fortune. Every night since then has gotten progressively worse.
Allow me to clarify. This has nothing to do with them sharing a room. They don't fight and they are sweet to each other. Tea is just exploring the ability to get in and out of bed. To the point of absolute exhaustion. Chiggie just falls asleep amidst it all. I went up a few minutes ago to check on them and Tea was wearing a turtle neck and a wool skirt. Obviously not the pajamas I put her in. "My cold....brrrrrr," she said. Unfortunately nap time is going equally as rotten and she fell asleep this afternoon around 4:30 and slept for a couple of hours so any hope of tonight going well is pretty much shot.
Last night she woke around 2 am crying and saying "my had a good dream." I am assuming she had a bad dream, but she would not stop the crying. I finally brought her down to our bed where she asked to color, for bubble gum, and to play outside. All requests were promptly denied and shortly we were all back in dream land. Please let this phase be short.
Chiggie has become quite the little prankster lately. She has an obsession with practical joking. I don't really know what brought it on, but she takes sheer joy in her new hobby. So far she has thrown cold water on the King in the shower, put toys down in our bed, and watered down cups of Kool-Aid. I am afraid she is advancing in skill though. Today she asked me where she could find a shovel, a bucket, and the rope her Daddy tied the Christmas tree to the car with. When I asked her why she needed these things she just snickered and said "you'll see." Hmmmmm....maybe I don't want to know.
