Thursday Things that break my heart...

Published on 10.28.2010 in , ,

This was written a while back...sorry for the delay...but fitting for this week as we make our big move...




Mini #1 does not do well in new situations.

Not at all.

So, I've been trying to explain to him that we'll be moving to Texas.  He's excited to go, even declaring, "MOMMY.  We go NOW."

Unfortunately, I've been trying to also explain that we'll be living in a new house.

"No Mommy.  We live in my house." (our current one)

"Well buddy.  You see we can't live in our house.  We can't move it to Texas."

"Yes we can."

"How?"

"We just have to PUSH it there."

(heart breaking as I say) "I don't think I'm strong enough to push it there buddy."

"Daddy will help us."

Oh hell. This isn't going to be good.

My moving OCD...

Published on 10.27.2010 in , ,

 Before the moving guys came to the house I organized each room with a post it note.

























Each color coincided with a room in our future house.  For example, blue was Mini #1's future room. So boxes marked with "blue" will be placed in the new house in the "blue" room. 
























I did this to make it easier  for the unloading of the giant truck that they packed to the roof.
















Needless to say I had a whole bunch of different colors of post it notes, and well, didn't use all of them.
















Engineering Man was helping me unpack this week and asked..."Got enough post its?"
























He'll thank me when he realizes this was just one of 15 rooms and closets.
















...and I can tell him where his socks are...

Thursday Things I Never Thought I'd Hear...

Published on 10.21.2010 in ,

I'm sure I could put this comment into some context that it makes at least a little sense, but really...it's better just as is.


"I know you want to smell my underwear."


And no...my 3-year old did not say this.

Awesome.

Published on 10.15.2010 in , ,

Today is my last day at work.

Today is the last day I'll receive an actual paycheck from an actual company...

Thursday's Things I crack up over...

Published on 10.14.2010 in , , ,

AM is my cousin's second grade daughter.

She lives in Fort Worth, and I'm thoroughly enjoying getting to know her.

This past weekend we were discussing Halloween and what the boys were going to be.

(btw...she's going to be an Indian princess...really, she just wanted to be an Indian so she didn't have to explain her costume to EVERYONE, but...Indian princess is what was at the Halloween store, so she decided she'd deal...

...again, she's fabulous)

After telling her what  mini #1 was going to be, she asked what mini #2 was going to be.

I really haven't decided yet, but she had the perfect idea.

"Tell everybody he's actually your dog you've dressed up as a baby."
