Following In His Mother's Footsteps
Why is it that every time Austin falls hard enough to warrant crying, he smacks his mouth and starts bleeding. He even did it on carpeting with a little fall. Is it because his head is now in the 97th percentile? Or is it that he is his mother's son? When I was little I fell out of the little basket near the bottom of the shopping cart and killed both front teeth. They turned black and then finally fell out. Then as my permanent teeth were just coming in, I fell on the asphalt at school and chipped one and killed the other necessitating filling the chip on one and a root canal and other work on the other tooth. I'm just waiting for Austin to do the same. I'll let ya know when it's official.
On a side note; I realized today why moms get big backsides. It's because they use them to accomplish various tasks. Today I found myself bent over to pick up my gardening tools off the porch while trying to shut the screen door with my rear before Austin could get outside. Muscles get bigger with use. I gotta remember not to use this muscle anymore.

Dinner of Champions
So normally I only blog occassionally. And often I think of witty things to write but I never get it posted. So why today am I posting this? Because I believe you have the right to enjoy my wonderful and creative sense of humor, my intelligent writing, and my beautiful timing. Ok, so you have to provide the timing yourself, but if you know me well enough, you can hear me as you read. Timing is thus provided. I'm amazing! On to the post!
I babysat three days last week and on the final day, the mom forgot her checkbook. No problem. She promised to drop off the check the next day. Next day comes, no check, and we have to pay Zach's tuition. Mom and Dad to the rescue!! So, I'm watching the kids again this Friday, when I'm assuming I will get paid for all four days. Zach will get paid Wednesday from one job and Thursday from the hospital. So Wednesday, Thursday, Friday paydays. Nice.
So what do you serve for dinner when you are days away from several paychecks, have $5 in the bank, and even less in your cupboards? Mac and cheese and hot dogs of course!! The "All-American Dinner"! Unfortunately, Austin doesn't like mac and cheese. Oh well, I made it anyway and figured I would supplement as needed. Not that this dinner has a whole lot of nutritional value anyway, so I guess I would need to supplement anyway, but that's beside the point. Well, amazingly enough, he gobbled up the mac and cheese and ate almost an entire hot dog all by himself. Ok, when I go clean up, it will probably reveal itself to be more like half a hot dog. (In my gusto as I "made" the hot dogs, I sliced mine in half too. Bummer.) But the main thing is that when all is said and done, my kid got his daily dose of orange powder, butter, highly processed carbohydrates and most importantly his unrecognizable protein for the day.
*note: I don't usually feed my kid like this. At least I try not to. It can be rather difficult when you're cooking for two, or rather, one very finicky adult who eats tiny amounts at a time, and a toddler who would rather create floor art.
Well, I'm off to wash the carpet under the table (who would put carpeting where a table goes?!?!) and find something to eat to get this disgusting taste out of my mouth!

My friend Bri has a list of things she has found in her kids' mouth. I love this list. I think it's great. Personally, Austin hasn't had too many weird things. Yet. He does have a love for pencil erasers, however. Every time he gets a pencil, it loses a chunk (or more) of eraser. Today I hopped in the shower and when I reached for the soap (I use bar soap for shaving) I noticed it had teeth marks in it. Evidently Austin decided to taste the soap. He must not have liked it because none was missing. It just had several tiny teeth indentations on each side. I had to laugh. I wish I could have seen his face when he tried it!

29 For The First Time
On Tuesday I turned 29. Yay me! I really have no qualms about being 29, or that 30 is just around the corner. I could care less because you know what? Caring won't change a thing, aging is inevitable, and it's not like I will feel any different when I hit 30. At all. So hurray for 29. And hurray for hitting 30 next year. My dad will be 60 right after I turn 30, so double hurray for that. Here's my list of 29 things I love about being 29. Let's see how far I can get without getting into weird random comments (For me that will be, like, maybe 5) Anyway....
1. I am married to the most wonderful man in the world.
2. I have the most wonderful son ever. Cutest too.
3. I have a bunch of grey hair. Found my first at 20.
4. I have experienced high school.
5. I have experienced college as a single co-ed.
6. I skipped classes to hang out. (See, I told you 5 was my limit.)
7. I skipped classes to sleep.
8. I skipped classes to eat at Pita Pit.
9. I skipped classes for no reason at all.
10. I have friends from way back in preschool.
11. I have friends in preschool.
12. My insurance rate is lower.
13. Zach's finally is too! (I married a baby.)
14. I own my own house. (Well, technically the bank does...)
15. I own my own car. (Two actually)
16. I get hugs and kisses every day.
17. I can play online all day and only have to answer to myself. (Although I could never actually do it.)
18. No one nags me about cleaning my room or doing homework.
19. I can be slobby all day if I feel like it.
20. I can get all dolled up for no reason other than wanting to look nice for Zach.
21. I don't have to worry if so and so likes me.
22. I don't have to deal with petty girls trying to "steal" a guy I like to prove they're cool or hot or whatever they're trying to prove.
23. I can stay up as late as I want. It's just a matter of how tired I want to be the next day.
24. I can pick my friends. (Believe me in a class of 45, there aren't many choices)
25. All my friends have adorable kids. (or will someday).
26. I get to watch my children grow up.
27. I get to spend every day with the ones I love.
28. Knowing my family (and friends) love me.
29. I love me.
So that's it. Unedited. I'm not going to go back over it to see if I like it. Just 29 things I thought of. Ok, so I cheated and wrote 29 before I actually got there, but I felt it was a good sum up.
