All You Really Need To Know About Me…

From a conversation with my cousin this morning:

HER: Is your Christmas tree up yet?
ME: Nope.
HER: Christmas is in like two weeks!
ME: On the 25th. Today is the 4th. So, three weeks.
HER: Well, when do you usually put you tree up?
ME: One year, it was on January 1st.
HER: …That’s pretty much all I needed to know. Please say no more…

Goodnight, Moon

I was reading in bed a few nights ago. Suddenly, OldestOne started talking:

“One sheep… Two sheep… Eight sheep… A thousand sheep..”

I giggled very quietly.

The Next 12 Years Should Be Interesting

MiddleOne brought a note from school. Apparently, on Monday he got into trouble for pulling down his pants in class (and the note he brought home said that this is inappropriate behavior. Well duh. We would have never known that’s NOT what you do in public, otherwise). Then on Tuesday, he got in trouble again for yelling across the classroom to his friend (during class).

BelovedSpouse and I both talked to him about appropriate behavior, and things he should not do.

MiddleOne, sadly: “But it’s so hard to be good….”

ποοπ

Yesterday, UncleMel was telling the boys how one of his students accidentally wrote theta (θ) instead of phi (φ) in a formula (yes, the world of higher math is full of excitement and dangerous Greek letters).

What did my two delinquents want to know? How to spell “poop” in Greek.

I think it’s time to abandon all hope.

Yup, They Are Boys

This morning during our “how many times can we hit the snooze button before dragging ourselves out of bed” time, OldestOne asked if we can play the Alphabet game. I am all for educational games, so we started playing. I can’t remember what they came up with for “A,” but I think we got “B” covered:

MiddleOne: “Boob!”
OldestOne: “Butt!”
YongestOne: “Boob! Butt!”

Yup, they are boys.

My children believe in taking their bath with as many toys as possible. Among the toys are foam letters and numbers. The kids have been using them mostly as chew toys, but lately all three delight in putting random letters and numbers together and asking me to read them out loud.

Fortunately for me, I am really good at pronouncing XLZYN and SN2VA7W. The kids think it’s the funniest thing ever. I am glad they are easily amused :)

Taking It Up A Notch

Last week, I called my doctor to see if she would be willing to up my anti-depressants dose, because it seems like 20 mg are not doing it anymore. Even though it turns out that my doctor won’t be back at the office until December. Fortunately, she keeps in touch with the office, and OK’ed switching me to a higher dose.

Incidentally, a three-month prescription for generics at Target is $10, vs. $4 for monthly prescription. I saved $2 :)

We’ll see in a couple weeks if a higher dose will make me function better. Fingers crossed.

Telling It Like It Is

YoungestOne and I went to Target today, to pick up exciting things like swim diapers, scrub pads, and dishwasher gel packs.

YoungestOne, looking at the red balls at the front: “Mommy, these are big! As big as your butt!”
