there is no more pooping on the potty. no sooner than i had gotten excited about it, it stopped. i think we are having some jeoulosy issues. suddenly, everything Eve does, O wants to do…..hmmmm, hopefully this is related to the ear infection.
hmmm….today has been kind of hectic. my eardrum burst yesterday morning (i woke up with blood and puss and earwax in my ear) so apparently, i must have had an ear infection. that would account for me being so grumpy. it kind of sucks that my threshhold for pain is so high because, otherwise, i would actually treat things when i noticed i was feeling crappy and maybe not be so grumpy. on the other hand, i don’t really mind labor, it is the pushing the baby out that i am not particularly fond of.
anyway, i think O has one also as she has been VERY cranky and clingy and whiney (may GOD help me and give me patience!). So, the two of us both being cranky and her being whiney and clingy has made for a very long weekend. finally, today, i had enough and i took her to the health food store for some probiotics and some garlic oil for her ears. it is amazing the transformation! she and Eve are now finally at peace playing kitchen.
so the kitchen is nearing completion just in time. our shower has been leaking for months so the other night at 12:30 am, i decided to fix it. well, i fixed it, the leak anyway. unfortunately, the cold water has ceased to work. so you can take a shower so long as you can stand the scalding water. we have another shower downstairs but it is nasty and (of course) needs work. so, i guess we will be doing the bathroom next…..i am o.k. with that though. our bathroom is really quite nasty and i will be much happier once it is gutted and reno’ed…..
on the up side, our upstairs living room is finally finished! well, mostly, except for some pictures that i still need to hang, everything is done!!! it looks amazing. i had a dream about Ray yesterday night which put me in a particularly nasty mood all day and gave me some really lovely flashbacks. i guess in order to chear me up, when we were at walmart shopping for accessories for our living room, jon let me buy anything i wanted. there is this vase that i have been eyeballing since we did our house in manhattan that was a little bit expensive that i finally got!!! anyway, it is nice to have one little corner of the house done. well, mostly, we do still have to reupholster that recliner:)
we got a new dishwasher this week. it is awesome. it actually gets the glasses clean and doesn’t leave that white residue on everything. it is amazing how happy that makes me! i am, however, starting to feel like a charity case. my parents keep giving us money and buying us things (like dishwashers). i guess i could always say no and perhaps it is time……..i guess i should let them too, i mean, maybe they do it because they remember what it was like to be a young family and how hard it is and if they want to help, should i let them? i guess it is just pride. i want to be able to forge my own way in the world and stand on my own two feet. that sounds hypocritical since i don’t work doesn’t it? well, i guess i figure that jon and i are a team. he works outside the home and i work too. i mean i babysit and do the drycleaning (so does downy wrinkle-release) and i am the maid (so is wilma our whirlpool dishwasher…ha ha…), i also do the lawnmowing, the tiling, blah blah blah.
well, better go, the natives are getting restless…
