Where'd She Go???

I know I've been missing for a little while.  It's been a CRAZY weekend/week!  Monkey's been fighting a nasty viral infection, complete with a trip to the ER with a 105.7 fever and a follow up visit with his pediatrician confirming that yep...  He's sick.  (Really?  I already told you that!)

I haven't really had time to update here, but I've been posting on the F@cebook page.

The good news is, he seems to finally be on the downhill slope of this thing!  He's still not eating well (but who does after they've been sick for that long, right?) and he's really tired, but the fever has been down today for the first time since Saturday.  YAY!!!

I've got a few posts in the works, but until then...  If you're just missing Monkey and me, check us out on FB!  It's kind of funny how a sick kiddo can still provide some entertainment.  :)

He Says "Mama"

I was SO looking forward to the day that Monkey started saying, "Mama."

Perhaps I should have been more specific with my wish.

I have yet to hear my name accompanied by anything but a cry, a whimper, a whine, or an angry scream.

"Maaaaa-maaaa!!!  Ba-ba, ba-ba, ba-ba, BA-BA!!!"

"MAAAA-MAAAA!!!"

So....

I now ask for Monkey to say, "Mama, you are an extraordinary woman!  I love you more than Berry Bananas!  You make me happier than my rubber duck and Kitty Cat Tommie combined.  In conclusion, YOU ROCK!!!"

But I will settle for a happy-sounding "Mama!"  :-)

Plural Marriage

I think Ka-Diva's obsession with all things "wedding" must have rubbed off on her twin brother.

Buddy recently said to my sister, "Mommy, when I get older we are DEFINITELY getting married!"  When Christy told him "I can't because I am already married to Daddy," Buddy said, "You can marry me too. You only go to jail if you marry three or more people."

I never realized that, Buddy!  Good to know!

 ;-)

Mimi Rocks!

Yep...  Mimi ROCKS!!!

And now Booger Bear is going to rock out with his super-cool Buzz Lightyear guitar!

(or "retard" as he calls it...)

Trust me...  We're working on the correct pronunciation of this one, BIG TIME.

:-)

Most Important Thing

I know!  I know!  I haven't done the play by play from Tuesday's hearing yet.  I'll probably get to it this weekend.  Probably.  (Nothing like hanging out in Procrastination Station!!! :-)

In the meantime...

Cutest thing I've seen in a while (besides Monkey's smiles, of course)... Monkey's daddy sitting in the courthouse pouring through the photobooks that I brought, smiling and giggling to himself as he looked at the pictures and thought no one was watching... :-) 

Favorite quote from Dad - "Most important thing! We MUST get Monkey a cat!" (after seeing how much Monkey still loves Kitty Cat Tommie)
