It’s baaaaack! I couldn’t help myself … there are just too many random one-liner thoughts I have over the weekend and want to share, but have no idea how to make them stretch into an entire post. So, Weekend Wonderings are back, as my weekend therapy.
Here we go:
1. How is it that a trip to Target for things like milk, lotion, sippies and conditioner ALWAYS turns into a $100 receipt?
2. And how on Earth did I go into Target, spent $100 and not come out with a least a 6-pack of beer or a bottle of wine? Hmmm?!!
3. I’m going to invent a white flag for parents. Something that just appears above our heads once we’ve hit the breaking point for that day. Something that tells our children and other people, ‘that’s it, I give up, I don’t care anymore for the rest of the day, whatever’.
4. The purple fingerling potatoes kind of weird me out, not going to lie.
5. This stage of toddlerhood speech, the ‘eh eh ehhhh! stage’ drives me batty. I get it kid, you want something. I have no way of determining what this particular ‘eh’ is though, so please help me out and learn some new vocal sounds, okay?
6. We hardly ever get random visitors at our house. So really, the one time the doorbell rings in like two weeks HAD to be right at naptime? REALLY? No, I do not want to buy chicken and steak out of the back of your truck. Be gone, before I drop a house on your head. Or, a fussy baby.
7. For those of you who watched Game of Thrones in real-time when it was on HBO, instead of cheating like me by watching it all at once on HBO GO, I salute you. I have no idea how you waited a week between each episode. I also have no idea what I’m going to do once I get to the end of season two.
8. I find it hilarious that when I finally get around to putting batteries in a toy that hasn’t had them in MONTHS, it absolutely blows my baby’s mind. It’s like an entirely new toy. Sidenote: why are parents required to UNSCREW like 4 screws out of toys these days to change the batteries. Really? Is this completely necessary? ARGH.
9. The only thing worse about worrying when your baby will get more teeth is waking up one day and realizing that he’s getting 4 molars at once. FML.
10. Piggy backing on #9, why is there not such a thing as a baby epidural? I can see a real market for something like that.
And now that that’s out of the way? How about a new weekly ‘thing’ for sharing phone photos? Specifically those of an Instagram nature?
Highlights from the photos above: The Mouse playing with Barbies and learning to swim, brotherly love on the 4th, the Froggy gets his hairs cut for the first time, and the Mouse dominates his new math app for the iPad {Learn To Count}.
I’m thinking of making this a link up, as I never want to post these guys until Monday, and don’t know of another Instagram link-up on Mondays. Would anyone be interested? Let me know in the comments, and have a great Monday!
ps. Don’t have/use Instagram? GET IT. Use it already? FOLLOW ME.
Yes on the Instagram link up!!!!!!!!
Love this!!
I have to agree with everything!! Except I haven’t watched Game of Thrones yet, we just got HBO GO and I have been thinking about watching it during nap time when I can. This convinced me I need to get on that. And 4 molars, poor baby AND mommy!! We are working on one and some days I wave the white burp cloth and say ‘whatever’ to the rest of the day! Lastly, I just told Erin, I can’t wait until Mackenzie can say ‘help’ so she can stop screaming when she can’t get her toy or figure something out.
This would be a fun link up, the instagram photos. I’d link up!
Toddler molars are the WORST. Especially since I’ve been hearing since she was 4 months old that she was teething. Our toddler who used to sleep through the night now wakes up at 2am demanding in eh eh ah ah noises that we put her in the bed with us. Then proceeds to take up 90% of the space. And she randomly screams and pokes in her mouth. And they’re coming out one at a time. So we get two weeks of crazy, one week of sane. Then BOOM it’s back again. Bonkers.
I had to google finergling potatoes. Those ARE creepy.
Right? Weeeeeeird.
No beer or wine from Target?!? For shame!
I would link up for instagram mondays. I take most of my instagram pics over the weekend anyway.
The current noise my 15 month old is using for everything is ‘kay’ which is cute as it souds like she’s saying OK, but shortened. Last week everything was ‘sha’. I’m sure at oe point she’ll start forming them into proper words.
When you get to the end of Season 2 of Game of Thrones, you could read the books to find out what happens next. Except… The books aren’t finished either! But at least you get a bit more of the story!
I actually am reading the books … just started book 2. LOVE them. I guess now I have plenty of time to get through them before the next season of the show!
You could probably make a lot of money off of that white flag idea!
1. I have not idea how Target seems to suck you in like that, but I am also finding that Kohls is starting to do the samething as well.
5.- speak girl!!! everything is not “dee”!!!
7. Honestly watching G.O.T. in real time was the highlight of the week. You actually looked forward to Sunday night. I hate that its going to be so long before the next season.
8. Rebecca is absolutely in love with the fact that I put new batteries in the FP LnL table(for the first time ever in the 3yrs we’ve owned it). I love watching her dance to the music.
9. psshh! 4 molars? try six front teeth at once. And from that Rebecca decided that she wanted nothing to do with bottles or formula at 10mos. The only thing I could get her to drink was water. Pedi told me to cold turkey her on the water so she would transition over to milk. That was a week of fun.
