All the Little Cute Things

Yesterday Big Guy went with Grandma on errands and Little Guy and I got to hang out just the two of us at home. He picked up a math book I had pulled out that BG used to use but realized it was way too young, and he started counting the items on the front. So we opened up the book and did the first five pages verbally. I kind of wondered when he would start to show an interest in "school" type of learning. He's all over it now. How fun!

After that I took a shower while he roamed the house. When I got out I heard my bedroom door shut so I wrapped a towel around me and went to see what he was up to. I peeked around the corner into his room and he was sitting in the Lego corner giggling wildly to himself. Then he picks up Daddy's mag flashlight, which he must've gotten out of Daddy's tool area while I was in the shower because he knows he's not supposed to have it, and he starts shining it on the ceiling making spaceship noises. I just stood there and watched him be so absolutely adorable for a few minutes before I went back in my room and got dressed.

On a NOT so cute note, I feel like I am on PERMANENT PMS lately. I have these herbs that I used a few years ago that calmed my shot nerves down enough to help me realize I really wasn't a word with a capital B ALL the time, just right before my period, and two weeks after for a few days. Well it's been awhile since I ran out - read 9 months, and I thought I was okay. It's been slowly getting worse and worse to where I think I'm getting a two day break instead of a two day dose with this whole shot nerves thing. I am just being that capital B and I can't seem to stop! So it's on rush order, as fast as it can be any way and I can't freakin' wait. Oh yeah, and guess who gets the brunt of it. Hubby. Poor guy. Oh well at least me ditchin' him with the two kids (meaning I took them) tonight got him out of the house to hopefully go see his friend who just got home from Japan a week or so ago that he hasn't been able to see yet 'cause I've been too busy yakkin'. :D

UPDATE: Confirmed. Hubby is out with his friend. *sigh* Sometimes it's nice to be away from family because it's not such an easy escape. Tonight I went out with my sister, he with his friend. I don't think we would've survived the early years had we lived out here, we would've made ourselves too busy skirting our issues. It's days like this I remember how being in Texas forced us to have a stronger, thus better, relationship.

Kids are just the most amazing blessings ... I am so looking forward to someday having children of my own and watching them do silly things while they don't know I'm looking. :)

Glad you know of something to help with the bad mood -- would you mind sharing what it is? There are some months I could use a serious dose of something to calm that dreaded PMS, which seems to last for weeks!

Hope you feel better soon!

I love reading these little snapshots into your cute family life...I'm sure you may not think it's 'so cute' all the time, but I do :)
Take care of yourself, Pink...did you have a good time with sis?

I know what you mean on the capital B thing. Unfortunatly so does my husband. I bet he has been praying for some miracle drug that makes his wife sweet as apple pie. I'll let him know they may have already come up with him, he will be excited to hear that.

Stacey and Alyssa - It's Female Comfort from Nature's Sunshine. It puts everything into balance so when things go out of whack they don't go SO out of whack and they actually DO get back to normal. Alyssa, I'm not sure about using it when you're pregnant tho.

Adrianne - Thanks. These are the things I want to remember. Okay well maybe not the last part. But God it is continuing.

Stacey said...

Thanks for the info! I'm going to have to start looking now ... before the "B" in me emerges next month! :)

Have you been exercising? Because when I don't exercise regularly, I tend to get realllly grumpy. Although I worked out last night but WATCH OUT for me today!!!!! :) Grrrrrr.

Stacey - I just had a physical today for the first time in, well, ever, and my doctor just confirmed how much those herbs help. Not only for THAT but for my achey periods. Things are SO good down there even after having babies that after doing the 'fun' activities or just having my period things going back to normal just makes it all ache. Apparently the herbs I told her I used to take help with that, and since I haven't been taking them not only has my body been out of balance, but things have gotten progressively worse pain wise over the last however long. She's a 'normal' medical doctor so that was nice to here.

Girl - I don't exercise. Are you trying to hint at something ;) ?
