Why Charlie, What Big Eyes You Have!

Today has been a poor grumpy day for Little Man. I have been trying to half way break this little two year old attitude that he has going on. He needs to know now that he has to listen even though he is getting bigger and can do things for himself.
The morning started off with having half an hour to go to the doctor's office. I did the unfortunate thing of telling him before hand that he was going to go and have the last of his shots.  He didn't want to go. He wanted to 'put on his own shoes' which really meant that he wanted to take  30 minutes putting on each shoe. I ended up wrestling him down and putting his shoes and coat on. We made it to the doctor just in time, and Little Man got his shots. He cried a lot this time, and did a little bit of failing.  We had to hold him down, my sweet angel. He earned a sticker and sucker for his duties, and he seemed completely satisfied by that. 
After the doctor, I stopped by the gas station and got my gas station nasty cappuccino fix, and got my brave little solider a donut. But something happened at the gas station- they no longer had my pumpkin spice cappuccino! Oh man, I didn't say anything, but I think next time I will. I don't want that other gross cappuccino stuff- I want my pumpkin spice. I know it's no longer October, but pumpkin spice can be an all year thing.
When we got home, we played with our cars a little bit, and my mother called. I talked to my mother for some time. She was upset because she just got her taxes done and they made just enough money where they wouldn't be getting much of a tax refund next year. This year, they are still going to get over $3,000 which is great. I told her just to relax, and to if she was worried to get a one year CD for next year's taxes.  We talked about everything that had been going on, I told her about all of my adventures that I post on this blog. It was a good and fulfilling chat.
I made my LM some chicken noodle soup for lunch and a big glass of milk. He was hungry and a bit sleepy after I had just spent a good 30 minutes tickling him and asking him to walk on my back (he is the perfect weight to get those kinks out, lol.) I gave him some Motrin for the shots that he had just received and had him take a nap/rest. 
I had a lot of cleaning work to catch up on and made this list covered with to do's anywhere from wash the windows to call the vet.  I got most of it done. Hoorah! It took me about an hour to do most of the cleaning. I will do some vacuuming when I put my LM to sleep tonight so that I know that it looks especially clean for when big daddy comes home.
Last night I had the most bizarre dream. I had a dream where I was at this large grand all inclusive water park resort (larger than Kalahari the largest indoor in the country where we usually go.)  At some point at the dream I met Charlie Sheen and we started this whole love affair.  It was so crazy. The funny part of it is as the dream progressed, he slowly started turning into a monkey.  Then all of the sudden in my dream- WHOOOSSSH-  a tsunami. Everything was washed away include my sweet Charlie.  When I caught up with Charlie later on he was then a full capuchin monkey. The funny part is in my dream I had to make sure it was Charlie Sheen so I asked him, "Hey Charlie, would you like to do some lines of coke?" In response to which the monkey jumped right up on my shoulder and hugged me around the neck. I wish a dream analyst could take a look at that one! He he.
I received my box of 1960's and 1970's patterns in the mail! Hoorah! I opened it up and it smells like moth balls, but what can I really expect from a box of patterns that has survived close to 50 years.  I need to go out and purchase a scanner so that I can start scanning them and making a website. I need a scanner/printer. Maybe they have one at Salvation Army that I can pick up really cheap. I am very excited, and the patterns are so cute! It is funny how everything comes back into style.
I sent a message to my gardening class sponsors, they have yet to really start promoting my class, so that means that it is yet another no go for the weekend. I am going to stop in there tomorrow and have them show me how to set up the systems. I am really excited to do this, and I will wait as long as needed for these classes to begin. I know that the owner has just set up 5 new shops, which is amazing. I am going to tell him tomorrow that I want to open up a head shop just down the block, and see what he says. You never know, he might see around the joke, and just go for it! Anyways, I am going to go in there tomorrow and check everything out. 
I am going to take my sweet bitty kitty into the vet tomorrow. Hopefully she doesn't get fleas from it like she did the last time. I think that I will just give both of my cats baths either tonight or tomorrow morning just in case.  I DO NOT want to deal with another case of fleas again. That was SOOO gross. They wereSOOO gross. They were everywhere and I was physically disgusted for a few weeks after that. I can't believe that I really didn't notice them until it was a full outbreak. GROSSS.
Anyways, now I have a few errands to run like return some shirts and drop off some dry cleaning. I hope that you have a very excellent rest of the day. And if you have read this, please say a prayer for my family. God bless!

The Forcast Calls for Love

I spent all afternoon cooking, then cooking, and then doing a just little more cooking. It just made me so happy to make some pretty delicious food. My slow cooker BBQ Ribs and Beans turned out phenomenal. I am so happy. They were tasty and the meat was falling right off of the bone.  My homemade mashed potatoes were the perfect potato chunk/mashed potato consistency. Everything was delicious. We didn't have time to eat our Shoo Fly Pie, or our salads, which is fine.

I have to take little man in for the rest of his shots.  He was so behind because Hubby didn't want him to get any shots, especially when we were separated.  Today will be his last round to get caught up. Thank goodness. I hate seeing him get shots, but I hate the fact that he could get sick even more.

I remember his very first shots when he was a little bitty baby. He was a little 9 lb bitty bundle of love.  He cried so hard. The little look on his little baby face was of sheer horror. I cried my eyes out, of course. I just couldn't help it. I had given my son his first experience of pain.  His face was all purple red and his little eye brow line was furled as high as it could.  Poor bitty man.

I am going to tell LM about the shots before he goes in today so that he knows what is going on once he gets in there. I am just happy for him to be healthy. I went in when we first got on MI Child insurance for uninsured parents middle class parents, he had a bad sinus infection, which kept on getting worse from going to a new daycare (new germies everywhere.) The doctor gave me a stank face because he was never vaccinated for whooping cough. I think when my Hubby and I were first married, I just kind of let him do his own thing (I did sneak in some shots), but now I really take a stand for what is correct.  I don't want my little boy to get sick with something like the measles because I was afraid that he was going to get another disease that he won't get.

Yesterday at Romp and Stomp, Little Man had so much fun. They had tricycles and push cars, tunnels, slides- everything a little boy could think of. LM has never gotten a chance to ride a tricycle because we live in the great white north and you can't really ride a tricycle in the snow.  He got right on and started riding around. He loved it. He was chasing his little friend around the gymnasium in the car, and they took turns deciding where to go. 

Hubby didn't want to stop by on the way home from work, because he usually doesn't want to do anything after work except relax.  He even called me and told me that there was no way that he was going to come out. Then he started asking me why they didn't want to come over for dinner.  I was like because it was going to be to late! Relax! Then he kept on asking me. I wanted to say, how come your not coming to play with your son and your friends, but I didn't.  Stupid questions shouldn't have to be followed with stupid questions. 

Then it happened- I saw him come through the gym door. I was soo happy.  Hubby was happy to see his friends too.  We watched the classroom and the little guys dance. It was so much fun.

When we got home we ate dinner, then watched some mindless TV, I don't remember what it was because I feel asleep as soon as I hit the couch.

I have some things I got to do today. I have to return a set of shirts and the dress shirt that I got for my husband and Marshalls. The shirt is too big and he only needed one type of undershirts. I say it's better to be safe than sorry with him. He really isn't having a good week.  I have to take Little Man to the library. I would really like to concentrate on just staying at home and playing all day. I think he needs that after being run around for the past few days.  Because according to Mr. Rogers, playing is how children learn to deal with things around them by acting out things in their own lives with their toys.

Little Man has had a major attitude the past two weeks, I need to just stay at home with him the next couple days and work with him, and see what I can do for him (and me).  

These are the things that I am thankful for today:

1. That we had so much fun playing last night

17. For my parents always being there
