Monday Mumbles

Ten random things for you on this glorious Monday morning. Okay, it may not be glorious but it IS Monday.

1. Apparently fluoride treatments are a once a year gig. I'll need to remember that when the kids visit the dentist for the second time next year and pass on it. You know, just to avoid an extra bill.

2. My best girlfriend just got engaged over the weekend. I've been keeping the secret that he was preparing for this for over a month...maybe two now. I'm happy that it's out in the open. I'm not happy that I may not get to see her and her ring before she leaves on Thursday for a trip to Vietnam.

3. Roscoe is staying with us for at least another week. While we thought TO was having allergy issues with him, he's clearing up so it might have been a weather-induced cold and asthma attack. We're giving him some more time in the home and see if TO clears up completely.

4. OJ got a big boy hair cut this weekend too. I do it myself for now, like I did TO's, so of course I leave a bit of curl in there. :) It's short though.....definitely not quite so "I live in the jungle" out of control.

5. I've been contemplating the whole "belly shot" thing for the blog. As you may have noticed, I don't put too many pictures of myself up. In part, that's due to the fact that I'm behind the camera most times. Also, Hubs has a shaky camera hand....which doesn't bode well for us for old age eating, but that's neither here nor there. I've seen many blogs that do belly shots such justice....and I don't know if I can. The only good belly shot I have of me pregnant with TO I was wielding a very large knife, and I do believe it was pointed at Hubs. I didn't really like my picture taken then...will I now??

6. TO had a roller skating party to attend Saturday afternoon. I desperately wanted to put on a pair and skate, but the whole "pregnancy" thing held me back. Damn babies. Well, the pregnancy thing AND the fact that I had to hold TO up all the way around the rink. Over and over and over and over. He DID improve as the two hours wore on, though....enough so that taking him again isn't out of the question.

7. Every time I change OJ's diaper, he touches his privates, says "pee pee", and then shakes his finger at me and says "no no ta ta". Ta ta to mean "touch touch". If only he'd tell all the girls that when he gets older.....

8. I had that meeting with the HR rep for the "other" department here at the bank. We'll see if anything pans out from it. There aren't any openings right now, they just filled two. However...he'll keep me in mind, and we might be able to work out some meetings to discuss it further with people IN that area....maybe a job shadow experience. It's always interesting to at least THINK about something different as a possibility, especially when the norm isn't all that exciting to you anymore.

9. I really detest getting up so many times at night to pee. I know, I know....it's something that cannot be changed, but SERIOUSLY.

10. I casually mentioned to Hubs yesterday afternoon that we'd have to start thinking of names again. We have to get an early start because we NEVER agree until the last minute. I'm amazed our children aren't named It 1 and It 2. The problem with the name game? Hubs never veers from his frightful choices. You'd think he never heard me tell him no the first TWO TIMES. Oh well. I guess it's true that men will never change.
