Oops. That will be stinky

leave a comment »

We are in our beds; I can hear her snoring. Moments ago I shot awake with the remembered contents of my car.
1 giant folded up stroller and in the bottom basket :2 Disneyland buttons, 2 sparkle purple shoes,1 Repunzle dress and a turkey leg and mostly denuded cob of corn.

Here’s the thing: my leg brace is off and I’m in pain and wearing a not so lovely pajama. Also , I own Febreeze and am not afraid to use it.

Could someone remind me before it gets too hot to clean my Tru k (and finally out the tags on my car)

Thanks loves.

If you are "gifted" with soap by Darla this holiday season…
Yes, she really did much if the making. Enjoy!

That time she peed on my phone

leave a comment »

Darla crawled into my bed just after I had turned off the alarm from my phone.

2 hours later she woke me with "I peed on your bed. Mommy, it was an accident.".

1 bag of rice and 4 hours later: it works!

Also, I’ve been needing a reason to share a picture of the "life hack" I tried with the coil from an ink pen to save my charging wire.

Smell My Hands

I refilled my @luvbbw scented hand soap collection. It is easy to catch a "missed" hand wash with a sniff and it makes it rewarding for Darla and her friends (and me) to scrub and bubble.

Morning chats, @Dodger blankets, and frienndship

leave a comment »

This morning was an adventure of motherhood. I like infant children because they don’t require a lot of thought ; you just have to constantly be awake and functional . Children are more work. This morning my conversation with Darla covered the bases.

It started with her telling me that she can not taking nap at school because her Dodger blanket has wolves in it. They howl at her while she tries to nap and they keep her awake.

She was telling me that there is a girl at school who always wants to play with her but she does not want to play with this child I tried to explain to her that the appropriate response is "thank you for your patronage but this is establishmet does not serve your ilk". Then she told me that she doesn’t want to play with anybody at school and she just wants to be left alone but then she doesn’t know why she is alone.
3 year olds are complicated people
