They told me this day would come
The day my kid got bit at 'daycare'. This is what I picked up today. Her teacher calmly asks if 'they' called me and told me she got bit. I tell her no, thinking she meant an ant bite or some such thing. But oh no, a KID!!! Apparently, they were sitting there playing when Dracula decided to take a bite out of her. And this isn't the first time this kid has bitten someone. GRRRRRR! I don't know if I'm madder about the bite or the fact that they didn't call me. But then again, I would have sat around worrying about her for the rest of the afternoon if they had. Geez.
Like how I figured out how to use my 'new' digital camera? Thanks, Kellie! On a happier note, she was her normal self tonight, and ate the heck outta Katie's chicken dish. It cracks me up that the first thing she says when we get in the car is 'eeeeeaat?' Like they don't eat 5 times a day at school. Her other favorite thing to do in the car is take off her shoes, which I always remind her NOT to do. When I see her messing with them I tell her "Leave your shoes on" (Trying to focus on what I DO want her to do instead of what she can't do. So far it's not working.) To which she replies, "No" and promptly removes them. I look back and say "Mama said leave your shoes on in the car. We take our shoes off when we get home." Then she looks at me ever so sweetly and whispers, "hot?" Like that's why she took them off. Riiiiiiiiight!
Then since she was covered head to elbows in white sauce, we headed up to the bath. Yes, my kid drinks bath water, which totally grosses me out. I mean, I don't even take baths because I don't think I get clean enough, and she drinks it. Nice. And what's up with this fixation with toothbrushes? She loves 'em. Note the spaghetti noodle still on her chest from dinner. ;-)
My very favorite thing she's doing right now is singing "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star". It is so cute. She honestly makes me smile every day and makes my life so sweet. I just can't get enough of you, baby!
Now for other nonsense. I just know you all are dying to see where I work. Well, it's a big ugly red building in the industrial part of town and I work in a tiny office with old furniture and an uncomfortable chair. See?
I have been trying to come up with good ideas for lunches. I can't eat any more fast food or I will literally turn into an elephant. I'm gaining weight like a body builder. This is my new favorite. It has the two best qualities in a meal - it's cheap and good. Okay the three best qualities....you don't have to really cook it either.
Another thing I've been trying to figure out is where the decent men are. Mind you, I'm happy being single, and don't really feel like I need anyone right now and marriage is soooo off of my list of things to do before I die, but it seems like all the ones I've met lately are L.O.S.E.R.S. But I watch TV and am convinced that when Neil Clark Warren tells me that his website is the one that gives people the most second dates and marriages, that I might at least get some good conversation out of the deal. This is what I got. I know you can't read it, but the dark black letters say, "Our system was not able to find any matches for you right now." Then they try to patronize you with some gibberish about how many new people join every day and how they analyze them every 24 hours to find you perfect match. Eharmony schmarmony.
