Tornado

i thought i had it bad.

our family had to sleep in the basement because of all the tornadoes that came through last night. i accidentally slept in (45 min.), and had to pack my car(i'm going to OH straight from work)and had to stop and put air in a tire on my car (which meant withdrawing cash from ATM, getting change for cash, and driving to 2 gas stations because the first pump was out of order), which meant i was really late for work today.

i then got a call from my boss. his neighborhood got hit by one of the tornadoes. he and his family are okay, but their neighborhood is destroyed. their house is still standing, but it is badly damaged. some of his neighbors don't have homes.

i do not have it bad.

the only cat allowed in our house

today jaden asked me if we could listen to cat stevens.

i am a proud momma.

my ear hurts

why does my ear hurt? because the bathroom door at work slams shut so hard it sounds like a gunshot. i do not kid.

i went home last night with my ear ringing all because i'm a tubby prego girl that has to open the bathroom door every 15 minutes...and i forget each time that it is going to slam.

if i get hearing damage from the bathroom door, can i collect disability?

Classic Jaden

Classic moment 1:
The other night i woke up to Jaden screaming and crying. i ran into his room and crawled up into his bed to see what was wrong. we had this conversation:
me: Jaden?? Are you awake? What is wrong?
Jaden: (tearfully) I don' t want to take baths anymore.
me: What?
Jaden: I don't want to take baths anymore. i only want to take showers.
me: um...okay. will you stop crying now and go back to sleep?
Jaden: (tearfully) yeah.

he rolls over and goes back to sleep.

Classic moment 2:
Jaden: Hey mom, when i look at you i see a bump on your belly and a bump on your butt.

i'm sad today...and mad at Kanye

two unrelated issues

1. Saddness:

i'm guessing i'm sad because of hormones, but i really wanted to spend the day with my son today. he is generally good, but lately he has been amazing. when i kissed him goodbye today i walked away extremely sad. i do think its hormones because it is completely illogical. today is the only day i am away from him for 8 hours. the rest of the days i work around his sleep schedule so i only miss 4 hours at a time.

i guess its not bad to love your kid, but i wish i wasn't sad.

2. Anger:

Kanye West was on my radio today. i knew he was coming...they announced him. i was ready to turn the station, but then i had to merge...and that is when it happened.

he got me. i'm not supposed to like him. his music is cocky and self involved...and ridiculously good. curse you Kanye. curse your intelligent lyrics, your interesting compositions.

you win...this time.
