More Random Items

-Nothing like coming to that realization one day that you've been had at the hands of your 2-year-old. Saturday morning, we listened to him babble and read his books in his bed from about 6:40 to 7:20. Finally I hear "Liam boo-boo mommy!" over and over. I thought, well, I should probably be a good mom and go make sure he is okay. I walk in there, and he's sitting propped up on his pillows against the wall just chillin.' I said, "where do you have a boo-boo?" He shows me his index finger, which is the standard body part that he uses when he wants sympathy for a non-existent boo-boo. I am realizing that my child is figuring out how to manipulate me.

-I love it when I manage to typo my way into a porn site at work. Liam's day care has a video monitor system where I can watch him in his classroom throughout the day. It's called watchmegrow.com. Sometimes I forget which browsers, between home and work, allow me to type in half the site and hit enter and which require me to type in the whole url. I typed in "www.watchme," hit enter, and found myself staring at a site about amateur porn. Yikes! Hopefully those monitoring Internet usage understand that it happens to the best of us.

-Do you know how many cans of shaving gel I have lost to unfortunate falls from my hands or from the shower storage unit. It never fails - the plastic squirter on top completely shatters, rendering a perfectly good can of gel useless.

-I did not mean to alarm anyone with my "life crisis" comment. I use the term lightly. I usually think of the "quarter-life crisis" concept when I use it...it's like lots of internal conflict, but all the while you acknowledge that there are a lot of people out there who truly are in a state of crisis, and you feel bad using it.

-I am so done being pregnant! I'm starting to slow back down, swell up, and spend my life in a semi-conscious haze. I forgot to take my rings off last night, and when I got up in the middle of the night, my fingers were like big old bubbles on either side of my rings. I was worried I wasn't going to be able to get them off. I had been sleeping like a baby, but recently it's been harder to get comfortable. I am reaching this point of sheer misery so much more quickly this time. I wonder how I am going to feel at 36 weeks! *shudder*

-I had so many random items I meant to list, but when I go to sit down and write, I lose them. That is actually why I am writing a second random item blog - because I had forgotten what I was going to say in my last post. So I will leave you with that for the night.
