A Halloween phone call

Adia was an Octopus for Halloween. Thank you Carly for the costume!
Adia fell asleep half an hour into Trick or Treating.
I got a call when I got home.

Lady: What was your baby?

Me:um.. an octopus

Lady: It looked like an elephant. My husband showed me a picture he took on his camera phone looked like something was on her face.

Me: nope she was a pink octopus.

Adia starts screaming

Lady: are you putting her to bed? Call me when your done.

I don't call back I have no idea who this woman is. I'm not sure she knows who I am either.

Over, Under, Around and Through

Adia tried to crawl under my chair.
She kept whining and so I looked under my chair and found out she got stuck on the bar between the chair legs and couldn't get off it.


It was really funny.

Crawling

Adia wants to crawl.
She tries and tries and gets so frustrated and starts crying.
in the chaos of it all she actually starts crawling.
But by that time she is too busy bawling to notice she is actually crawling.

Halloween Spider Adventure

Last night my husband woke me with:
"Chrissy come here! There's a nest of spider eggs in the bathroom."
I'm pretty freaked out. If he can see these eggs it's going to be one science project size bug.
I refuse to go in, but he sounds as if these are the most disgusting abominable eggs and I need to see them.
Scared to death I get up to look at them.

Buring is such a mean word

Today a repair man came out to fix our dryer cause it was burning some of my clothes. After he finished he explained that there was lint caught behind the heater and it had become "dis-colored" and that had "dis-colored" my clothes.

It was just some crazy dryer paint!

my baby eats off the floor

I went with my mom to church a couple Sundays ago.
It's in the suburbs with suburb mommies. Adia was smiling a at some admirers and spits out this thick cottage cheese like mess.
Not wanting the women to get upset that my baby spit up all over their church, especially since it's my mom who would have to live with it, I quickly scrub the floor. Getting up notice that Adia is happily wearing some I take the cloth and swipe her clean.
The women looked at me in horror, "You cleaned the floor with that and THEN your baby?"
I smile and shrug.
Adia spends most of her day licking the carpet of our apartment.

I think if you got up for someone five times during the night to feed them you wouldn't be awake enough the next day to stop them eating the floor or to notice you are cleaning them with a dirty cloth.

testing

I'm trying to edit my blog the way I want it.
here is a story of something that happened last spring:

When I was little I really, really wanted a pony, and I would name her moonshine. I found out a little while later that it meant alcohol but I still want to name a pony moonshine.

I signed up for a 3d animation class but I needed a pre-requisite I didn't have. I didn't find out about that till Wednesday so on Friday I tried to get into another class but it was canceled . so that is the back up story:

Monday I signed up for a children's literature class. I thought it was going to be writing and illustrating children's stories but I think it was a class for children.

The teacher tells us a children's story:
two kids have 12 cookies, 2 more come and they have to share between them and then two more and then in come six and everyone gets one cookie.
in-between the children coming in, the mother in the story is saying "no one bakes cookies like grandma"
so the teacher asks us "what can we learn from this story?"

one girl says um... how to make cookies?

I knew I had to switch classes when the teacher referenced family circus cartoons.


The teacher emphasized that it was such a MIRACLE that children learn language.
We are in a college class, children learning to speak is not a miracle.

Maybe it's the repetition. you shove a bottle in someone's face saying bottle over and over they'll eventually learn it.
My teacher probably did acid.

I canceled the class.
