loudHowdy Everyone.
Sam screamed today. A lot. A whole lot! He screamed from the time I got him up, through breakfast, running around and lunch. Calmed down a bit for his bath, started again when I was getting him dressed. WAHHHHHHH! So, I put him down in his crib and figured I might as well lay down in there, at least he won't be screaming because I left the room. Then he started screaming and grunting....AHHHHHHH, NOW I get it. OK, so I take care of the little grunting problem (Poor thing... you'd think I would understand a non verbal kid's constipation by this point in my life! DUH moment) Then he FINALLY went to sleep. And so did I!!! I was SOOOOO exhausted by the screaming. I wanted to get some grocery shopping done, but I ended up doing that (with all three kids...what am I nuts?!?!) after dinner. (Nuts because of going out to the grocery stores after dinner and so close to Sam's bed time...which of course lead to more screaming...first he wanted the store circular, then he wanted a box of cereal, then he wanted Jonah's hair...) So, I felt a bit better for having slept a bit, but still pooped!
We went to a newer store called Fresh Market. I wish we had a Whole Foods closer to us. I don't like Fresh Market as much. I think we'll go to Whole Foods tomorrow...we will be out that way anyhow for a birthday party for one of the twins' classmates. After Fresh Market, we went to Meijer. PAIN IN THE DUPA that I am, I forgot to pick up gift cards!!!!!! (For said birthday party!) So, now I have to go BACK to get gift cards before the 12:30 party. UGH! I'm such an airhead. I was so excited to get my grocery bill down to $62 because of coupons (saved over $47!!!! I ROCK!) But even saving $47 doesn't make up for forgetting the birthday gifts! I feel like such a moron sometimes. Oh well, I am a loveable moron at least. (Although I think I was pretty cranky today!) Which reminds me of a shirt I saw for Sam, that I HAVE to buy for him...it reads "I'm the reason Mommy's CRANKY"....oh how true. I need the same shirts for the twins. I got a stupid comment at Meijer today...I LOVE stupid comments when I'm cranky! HA!!!!!!! Because I don't hold back my equally rude comebacks! So, I'm picking out yogurt and this otherwise very nice lady looked at the twins (who were having a burping and farting contest, although said nice lady didn't hear any farts or burps) So nice Yuppie lady takes one look at the twins and says "Well, you two are certainly close in age." (and anytime anyone says something like this, I feel like they are saying "Well, Mommy and Daddy were busy, eh?") So I just said, pretty loudly, as this was at the time that Sam was grabbing at the organic peach kefir on the shelf... "YEP, TWO WHOLE MINUTES APART"...I really like making rude people feel uncomfortable. Not nice. Not Christian...but I think God will forgive me for this one. How much is one person supposed to tolerate? YIKES!
AIIGHT....Off to wrap up a package that has to go out in the mail tomorrow. Off to put goodies in a bag for a surprise birthday party for my cousin on Saturday. Off to make me a nice Italian Soda. YAY... kiddos are all in bed, actually, the twins are having a "sleepover" downstairs in the family room, watching cartoons. But everyone's quiet.
Hugs, Love, Blessings & Bare Feet!!! Jen
