Soo much fun

I used to think that hiring a Nanny was just ridiculous. I understood day time care, so that you could go to work and get your day time business done, but I just did not understand the need for a live-in Nanny. But now I get it. You totally need a Nanny just so you can do the laundry, or heat up a Lean Pocket, or pee.

This weekend my mom was supposed to be keeping my niece. That was all fine and dandy. Then Friday afternoon my grandmother was in a car accident (she’s okay, broken leg), so my mom had to spend the evening at the hospital with her. That left ME watching the baby all evening. (Sidenote: Earlier in the day I went to the grocery store to pick up some things for the weekend and I saw “Vienna sausages” on the list. I immediately called my mom and gave her a huge speech about how we can’t feed Kelsey this nasty, processed dog food, and how I don’t want to have to take everyone on the Maury Povich show when she’s just 4 years old and 125 lbs for an intervention.) So I picked her up and she started screaming to the top of her lungs in my car. I was thinking hard hard hard. “How do I stop this?” “If I were 14 months old what would I want?” “What the hell is wrong with this kid?” “Chicken nuggets!” So, I definitely put my foot in my mouth with the whole obesity speech and fed her McDonalds on the way home. Then she kept me up all night, until I called my mom at 3am crying (not really, but I might as well had been). So mom got home at 3:30 and I slept 3 hours before having to work all day at the dealership.

Saturday night my friend Jackie told us a story that almost made me die and I will probably share it with random people for the rest of my life. She stole some girl’s hamburger meat and gave it to a friend to take home to her grandmother to make Jackie a meatloaf. Apparently, the grandmother makes really great meatloaf. The fact that this meat was transported is just hilarious to me. So the Gma made the meatloaf, but the friend did not return the meatloaf to Jackie, instead she gave it to one of their guy friends to give to her. Well, Jackie couldn’t get in touch with the guy friend and she just knew “his hungry tale” ate the meatloaf and she wanted the meatloaf, in its entirety, returned to her ASAP. There were so many more fabulous details to this story. I spent the first 3 minutes of her telling it to me, thinking “Did she just say she stole someone’s meat?” I talked to her Sunday and she was eating the meatloaf. Phew. I’m glad, because I think she may have hurt the guy that had it.

Sooo busy

I'm so busy but life is good.. :-)

And, my laptop charger exploded white liquid everywhere. Now I have to buy a new one. AGAIN.

So I'm writing this from the library at school. The squirrels are more rabid than I remember. They are making weird chirping noises and darting out of strange places. I think I may have even heard one of them growl at me. Yesterday was the first day of summer classes and as I crossed across Franklin St. into campus, I passed Tyler Hansbrough. I guess if you have to go to summer school at least there are big basketball players to look at!

It's all good in the hood

I woke up at 7am this morning and I'm going to sleep before midnight tonight. Is this true? Could it be? Am I actually, for once, on a normal schedule? This is a miracle. I have somewhat maintained this quasi normal schedule for weeks now. I can't believe it! I used to sleep at weird hours during the day and stay up all night, but this new schedule is good for my health! It helps my skin and even allows me to get things accomplished. Like this morning when I spent 3 hours cleaning the entire house before going to work at 1pm. And I even found my camera cord so now I can transfer pictures to my laptop. So here are pictures from Duke Gardens last week..





Kelsey has since had a haircut. Her first!

Happy Birthday, Jamie!
