7 Quick Takes: NO I AM NOT PREGNANT, my dreamiest dream machine and killer foot pain edition.




**1**
Just so we are clear, no matter what Amanda says, I AM NOT PREGNANT. There is no baby coming now or in the foreseeable future. I have my hands full with the one I have (see #4-6). I am sure there will be more in the future, but the future is not today, next week or even this year. On the other hand you can CLEARLY see how much Amanda wants another one. Projecting much????

The yearly celebration of the day of my birth is coming at the end of July and I have found THE PERFECT PRESENT. I have been sewing for several months now with an adequately basic Singer machine. It does fine but if I had this I could do so much more. It’s faster, stronger, smarter, it tells me I’m a creative genius and rather pretty and it is just the best machine out there. Plus, how will I complete the custom nursery bedding for Amanda’s new bundle of joy without it??? Now how to convince the hubby to drop a small fortune on it wonderous piece of sewing mastery. Hummmmmm

I have injured myself somehow. I awoke the other morning with a terrible pain in my foot/ankle and now every time I walk it pops and rolls and hurt like a MUTHA. Which has lead to me walking shuffling limping on the inside of my foot which makes my leg muscles feel like I have just run a 400K, not to mention what it does to my cartilage absent knee. For the life of me I cannot figure out how I did this. Unless I was sleepwalking, went rock climbing and had a terrible fall it will remain a medical mystery. Thank the AMA for pain-killers, I mean a properly prescribed anti-inflammatory.

Look out (insert some fabulous city here) 2020 here we come. If Adlay continues on her quest for Olympic Gold on the leather couch apparatuses that is exactly where we will be. The child can now climb on the couch with ZERO help from you or anyone else. Once there she runs, flips, headstands and rolls all over until she comes crashing to the floor. Her dismount defiantly needs some work.

We have put the potty training on hold for a while. After much discussion with the Potty Yoda it has been advised to stop. As I posted in the Potty Pages vol. 2 Adlay went an entire day and withheld any and all poopie. Most Potty Yodas agreed this was a sign from her that she wasn’t ready for “real potty training”. We will revisit the subject in a few weeks but for now our quest for diaper freedom has hit a detour.

I am that Muzzy DVD language series is teaching Adlay Italian. Is that weird??

**7**
I have begun an experimentation in container gardening. A dear friend gave me a beautiful Gardenia plant the other night when they came to the house for dinner and it lead to a desire to pot it and some other pretty flowers. Adlay thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon at the local nursery, smelling each and every flower on the lot. So now we have all the necessary ingredients to pot up our pretty plants. Maybe we can do that this afternoon, if my foot doesn’t fall off my leg….see #3. Pictures to come.

Did I mention the pretty???

Where did you find the "becauseisaidso" blog? 6 kid? Alternating sexes? You can't make this stuff up...

I just happened upon it after jumping around. She is great. I just think maybe there is hope for you Amanda in your quest for a family of seven.

How bout this - You, in a yoda-like moment yourself, have acquired an injury-by-proxy from a fall your daughter took off the couch.

My daughters also seem to love the couch - what is that?

Oh and poop withholding. Makes for one cranky pre-potty trained toddler. Good luck with that.

Donya said...

That is a good point Heavenly. I think they get some subliminal message in utero to, once born and able to walk, climb on everything in sight. And yes the no poopie is NO fun, for anyone.
