thirsty thursdays turned into terrific thursdays
thursday is my favorite day of the week because i meet my friend with our almost 2 year olds and we go to the mall, or out to breakfast, just hang out. its the greatest day because we are similar and like minded. we get it. its so unlike all of the other days. i actually have fun.
today her little one GIO and MV ran around the play area and literally had a blast. we were able to sit and chat and it was great. its so nice feeling calm and easygoing. having something in common with someone like a child. makes life easier. some of the other "friends" i have, its different.
RO still has no teeth, i'm dying. they need to come through. poor bean is desperate for some chompers. she is however crawling and trying to stand. god help me, this child is busy.
MV is still such a good girl and becoming more vocal by the day.
i love being a mom even when its crazy. like yesterday when MV basically screamed and wined through target and RO laughed and was her jolly ole self. some other mom stared me down, assuming its because of my purple hair.....maybe because was encouraging MV....vocal for her is good and i'll take it any way i can get it. i honestly wanted to tell the woman, hey i'm probably older then you, but you totally look like a 45+ soccer mom, so judge someone else, you haggard ol bag. really, my hair or my children's vocalization should be none of your concern. we're not hurting anyone. people are so judgemental here and i for one think its kinda funny.

sell crazy somewhere else....we're stocked up
my house is officially crazytown this week. MV hasn't slept normally in a week. she's teething so its pure insanity. no naps, screaming til 11pm - what? not my MV, she is a sleeper. it's the molars and they freaking suck! she can't explain the pain, so it doubles the terribleness of it. :(
RO is still like a baby orangutan - 100%. this kid rolls around like a monkey, she is so quick and she rolls 100 mph to get any snacks MV has dropped including her milk. i spend my days trying to pry a sippy cup out of an 8 mnth old's hands because she drinks formula. jeez louise
so we got a bike trailer, a great family pastime, a way for me to shed my babyweight. i abhor it. its behind hatred, its traumatic when i look at it. my kids scream, cry and hit each other. its the most stressful activity i've taken part in lately. my heart rapidly races and i get the sweats at the mear thought of putting helmets on these 2 and strapping them in. that said, we went for another ride today to try to get them "used to the helmets". the 2 of us wanted to drink heavily upon our return to black out the ride.
i am trying to get MV into a 2 year old preschool and we had to go on a waitlist. and its at a church. wth. its insane these days. she is 2. this isn't Yale, people.
highlight of my day, had to be at my Mom's by 1, at 12:15 i had to hit the post office and get some lunch. ok, no big deal, let the girls rock their mismatched jammies and we would shower later. omg go to the grocery and meet everyone and their mother. people stopping to say how beautiful they are then doing a once over on the "unshowered, mismatching family" and almost feeling sorry for me i think. then i realized, i put purple peek-a-boo highlights in my red hair but it was up, so i just looked like a punk kid that got a hold of manic panic. it must have been a sight. good times.

lost i think
i feel as though i'm lost lately. time is moving so quickly and i feel like i'm running to catch up with it.
MV finally had her eye appt. everything seems ok, she is possibly far-sighted, so they will keep an eye (pun intended) on that. that would make a lot of sense, since she has some issues with depth perception.
the girls are as funny as ever. MV dances this booty dropping kinda dance, which i'm not sure where she learned, unless she's seen unedited footage of me circa 08 from woodlawn. unsure. hoping that is not in circulation. her latest dance is like a fast march in place which i've oh so cleverly called irish dancing. ha! this way, she's getting ready for next year! how smart am i? RO is still not sitting up, she gets so super excited when she does, she immediately falls on her face. and she wants to crawl but can't seem to grasp it so she gives up, pivots and rolls. this baby rolls like a ninja, she's stealth. its kinda of amazing to watch her roll into different rooms and she does it fast like she's rolling down a hill. quite entertaining really.
tonight we went to target and the girls were great. you do need to talk to RO the whole time, but she talks back her babble now, so its super adorable. MV has more fun trying to grab any loot she can at top speed. she was operating with a bathmat in the cart for awhile, which is what i needed so it worked.
i'm obsessed with wall art for my guest bathroom and i'm really into framing fabric. i think it would be fantastic and add so much color. so now i'm thinking of framing a tea towel for my kitchen and some sweet fabric scraps for the guest bath. clearly i'm overly impressed by my cleverness tonight. its cheap, fun and looks cool. points for me!!!!!!!

zombies
so we are like zombies here. It's been over a week that I've felt crappy but its been 8 days since I've been legitimately sick. Nothing seems to be working. Boo. We hit the doctor yesterday and its just a cold. No need for anything over then saline and/or ibuprofen/tylenol for the babies and over the counter crap for me. The girls are more cranky then anything else and of course snotty. I sound like I have consumption and possibly am dying. LOL Seriously my eyes are burning out of my head and I'm operating like a freakshow with my nasty cough.
on a better note, miss MV did ok with her vision test! we have to keep a check on her eyes every three months. They think that she is farsighted, which could explain some balance and depth perception issues. So thats awesome news.
Ro is desperately trying to crawl and sort of gets the backwards crawl thing going. It's so funny and amazing watching her get into the crawling position and rock and get super excited to move!!! Although I'm totally terrified for when she starts crawling and going all over the house! Atleast now she keeps the rolling to mainly the living room area!!
Nothing much else to report, being sick leads to a pretty boring life.

typhoid?
I feel like my house has become a typhoid central. We are all sick and it sucks. It's constant crying and wining from the babies and honestly, I wanna cry and wine too! My eyes are burning out of my head, I have a fever, the sweats, my ears and throat hurt. This is stinky. My hubs is sick too, and he NEVER complains about anything, so for him to be like "I'm sick" is SERIOUS! I mean the man breaks bones and carries on as though he suffered a minor scratch. The girls are snotty snotty snotty - in every sense. Ro is also teething, so in addition to the snot stream pouring out of her nose, the drool is soaking her shirts. It's quite cute, makes you want to hold her extra LOL. J actually said it was like picking up an eel today, she was wet and slimey. MV cries over everything, literally she just can't help it. I wanna jump on the floor and full blown cry it out with them - YES GIRLS THIS TOTALLY SUCKS! We need a babysitter - for Mommy too.
Well at least I think it will eventually get better - we can't have this funk typhoid cold forever, well at least I hope we can't.
We had to venture out today to get some milk, at some point my rations run low. I felt like a hot disaster in WallyWorld. I think everyone was staring at me. Maybe it was because I sounded like I had consumption with my cough or maybe because my black tee shirt was covered in baby snots. Hard to say really, either way it was an unpleasant sight for all. Sometimes I want to shout - yes I know I look like absolutely garbage, thanks for noticing. PS I feel like super shite too. Thanks for asking. hahaha but instead I take my items to the check out absorbed in my own self pity and move it along.
So MV's new dance routine is improving by the day, it seems to be the only thing that gives her joy while she is battling this vicious cold. Dancing to a ragged old St. Patrick's Day dog thing that dances to Hip Hop Hooray. She shakes her booty and throws her hands in the air and starts to do an imaginary hula hoop like motion and sometimes adds walking backwards (a moonwalk of sorts) into her routine. I really don't know where she comes up with this. Maybe after the 190,000 time playing the dog, the moves just come to her magically, she feels the beat I suppose.
Ro is starting to crawl, she props herself up and pushes away. Although she moves backwards faster, so she gets angry and rolls herself to the object of her affection. Usually MV's sippy cup or whatever toy was most recently launched on the floor. She really is growing up too fast.
Actually they both are, and as much as I joke and laugh, I try not to take them for granted. They are my absolute world and I enjoy every minute...even if it is snot covered. <3

do you make your own bed at a hotel?
Okay, so the other day - I was moaning and groaning to my Mom that Ro doesn't hold her own bottle 100% of the time. She holds it 25% of the time, which is irritating, because we know she is capable. I'm going on about how at 7 months old, she should try....etc. etc. My husband then chimes in "well why would she? do you make your own bed at a hotel?" I burst out laughing and its true. I'm my children's personal valet. I do everything for them and they know it. I'm 99.9% sure I birthed the laziest babies in America. MV was perfectly happy to let me cart her around until she was 18 months old. Quite frankly, I know she knew how to walk, she simply chose not to. Unbelievable. With a second lazy baby, I'm starting to see a trend and realize that maybe the Mommy is at fault for catering and not the baby. The valet service is apparently in full effect here.
We've all been sick for the last 4 days here. Not just me or the hubs but MV and Ro too. It's awful to be sick when its just yourself, but sick with 2 sick babies and a sick partner is just ridiculous. We're all coughing, sneezing and snotting in everyone else's face. No one is safe here. Everytime I turn around another baby is crying from general crankiness which immediately triggers the other one to chime in. I like to call this competitive crying. Crying for no reason other then to further my brain damage and emotional stress. I think at night they talk to each other and the conversations go something like this:
MV: Did you see her today? She lost it like 120 times?
RO: We almost made her cry at 7 different points - she's so pathetic.
MV: It's too easy. OK I think we should be nice to her tomorrow morning.
RO: Yeah, then we'll gang up on her at bedtime. hahaha - its too easy!
MV: YUP!
(and then they baby high five each other)
Okay, well maybe they don't plot exactly like that, but they definitely know my breaking points! And in the last 4 days, its been at an all time low. That said, surviving all 4 people in this house being sick, definitely is making me a stronger person (because it hasn't killed me yet)!!!
So MV's been on a dancing kick. I think she training in case soul train comes back. Cause she's got the motion in the hips perfect for disco. Meanwhile Ro is crazy in the jumperoo. It's hysterical to see her hair bounce up and down because its so long. Part of me cringes that she will bounce out and hit the ceiling (we have 30 ft ceilings) but girls got some jump!!!!
