noot cocks

This sounds a lot more risqué than it is. Noot cock is M's way of saying fruit snacks. The girl could eat them all day, everyday. She goes to the snack cabinet, points way up high and asks in her angelic little voice, "Noot cock?" "Noot cock?" Hard to say no. Now we've gotten so we need to know which type of noot cock to eat. "Dora" "PomBob" "Neeemo"
This brings me to the latest adventure. ear infection was found at the dr yesterday. Dr gave a vile substance that must be taken for TEN DAYS. (I shall ask Dr why she hates us so much next time I see her) Tried to dispense meds while looking in snack cabinet but she was wise to my tomfoolery. Vile liquid all over. Up to the tubby where I planned to dispense the meds that didn't go anywhere but on her clothes the last time.
Thought noot cocks would make her feel better after the fact. Didn't think about the complications. So, put her in the tub and as usual she immediately pees. Pee water is a fact of life--if the reader becomes grossed out, too bad. Continue on with bath as normal. Purple in the hair (shampoo) then green (conditioner) to make it "moozsh" (smooth). Meds time. Long story short, I'm pretty sure drooling out the contents of mouth while screaming probably didn't mean much was ingested. Noot cock to the rescue, except that anytime I got near her, she flailed along with the noot cock.
Where does the package of noot cock go but into the pee water of the tubby. And a few drop into the pee water as well. Now screaming "noot cock! noot cock!" and trying to fish them out to eat. Those things are slimy as hell when they hit water. Fished them out and ate them all.
Finished bath, got jammies on, and put to bed. Wasn't happy because it was a little earlier than normal but I couldn't give her the nighttime sippy of milk because vile liquid requires no milk or dairy be consumed until one hour after meds. This must go on until the 26th. Shoot me.

Need to learn how to spell "soon"

back to reality son enough

Very blissfully enjoying my time off. Haven't really thought of work at all. Being a stay at home mom is very different and a good experience. Unfortunately, don't know if M feels the same way. Every morning around 10:30-11:00 she asks, "Shopping?" Evidently I am not enough entertainment for her.
Busy weekend with Easter plans. Glad to have Monday off, too. Have no idea what I'm doing on Tuesday. Would be worried but at this point ignorance is bliss.

First long distance sibling

So, we're embarking on a new family status--a brother that lives far enough away that it requires a plane ride to visit. I'm surprisingly bothered by this. We don't see each other too often (even though I would if I could). But, i guess the possibility to see each other has always been there.
Now, it will require planning to see each other. Jeez. I'm pretty Sappy McSapson tonight.
