Random stuff

• OK, I went threw the mountain of toys and got rid of about 90% of them. The kids actually took it really good. I was surprised at that one. But at one point, Little Man asked me "What did we do to make you so mad?" Nothing baby, I just hate cleaning/stepping on/tripping over all these wonderful broken toys. Actually, my response was "Nothing, y'all never play with these and can't find the good toys in all this mess." He accepted that and then actually helped me.

• My mother-in-law pissed me off, again. Big surprise there. I e-mailed her pictures of the kids all dressed up for Halloween. How sweet of me. And the response I got back from her really got under my skin. She said "Little Man and Toot look cute but Smiley doesn't look like he is having any fun. What's wrong? Did he just not get it? Or was he just too tired for all of it?" I chose not to respond for fear that she would think I was just trying to be a bitch. If I had responded, it might have gone a little something like this. "No, he was not tired and he did get it (he got that he gets to go get a lot of candy, who cares why). He is 2 years old and doesn't like posing for 50 pictures cause my phone takes crappy pictures and it took 50 tries to get good ones but I guess I should have taken 51 since that one wasn't apparently good enough. All he wanted to do was go play and go trick-or-treating and I was making him stand still. Sorry, maybe next year he will look happy enough for you." Not really, but that's what I would have wanted to say. I probably would have just said "No, he had fun". So, I chose to say nothing at all. That's actually the first time she had even acknowledged that I sent her pictures and I've done it like 100 times. OK, next.

• I miss my Mom. She lives a whole 20 minutes from me and I can't remember the last time I saw her. This is unusual because we are best friends. I tell her everything. Even stuff I don't tell Hubby. I still talk to her everyday, but haven't actually hung out with her in forever. She has been way to busy lately with her work, another ladies work (literally, she does home health physical therapy and one of the other therapist had to miss 2 weeks so my Mom to the rescue), surgery on her hand, baby sitting 3 hours away, and trying to spend time with my Dad. She actually said at least we will get to hang out on Thanksgiving. What?! That's still 24 days away. Maybe I can go steal her one day while my Dad is hunting. Hint hint, Mamma.

• One of the funniest things I have seen in a long time is Smiley trying to eat an Extreme Sour Warhead. He knows it's candy and really wants to like it but can't get past all that Extreme Sour. The faces he makes are too funny. I would take a picture but I laugh to hard and my phone requires you to not move a muscle. I really need to go buy a new camera. I may just do that Friday.

• And last night as I am finally falling into bed I thought to myself, Did Smiley actually eat any real food today? Yes, it was one of those kinda days. And yes, he did eat real food. I think.
