but it got in my head tonight to see exactly how fast I knit… so I knit for 10 seconds then counted the number of stitches I made in that time… then multiplied by 6 to get my # of stitches per minute…
54 stitches per minute, but while knitting socks magic loop, it takes time to flip from one side to the other, and that slows me down some…
I said that I totally realize how nuts I am… but it was fun to do…
and my MIL has been asleep for most of it, I am talking consious for all of 3-4 hrs. The kids are making me crazy pestering me about seeing Grandma, but on the upside, she is not pestering me…
I have finially lost it.
This afternoon, as my husband got ready for work, he asked if I could drop one of his uniforms off at the cleaners this afternoon, I said sure, no problem, I could hit the grocery store while I was out…
So, while I waited for my 2 year old to wake up from his nap, my 8 year old and I baked a batch of cookies, and I made a list of what we needed at the grocery store (not much, mainly oranges, because I have been eating tons of them.) After my son woke up, I got him all ready, and off we went. We hit the dry cleaners and there was a line, so it took me a few minutes to get that dropped off, but not too long. And then we hit the grocery store. First, i realized I need to lift my 35lb child in to the cart, or he will be running wild, the only lifting limit they gave me was day of surgery, after that it was as I feel able. So I tried, and lifted him into the cart, with no pulling or pain, we are good, off we go. We get our shopping done, beef was on sale, buy one package, get one free, so I ended up getting more than I had planned, and then I noticed that a 10lb bag of potatoes was $1.49, so I got two, yes, two, because MIL will be here next week and potatoes are a cheap filler for meals. Plus, I will be making a holiday meal for her, and then a few days later, again for my mom. I did get oranges… but did I mention that we made it into the grocery store at 5pm on a weekday? it was packed. it took us 45 minutes in there. *gasp* oh, they had alcohol on sale too, so I got some of that, stocking up for the visit.
I am not sure if I classify as crazy for taking 3 kids to the grocery store alone, 2 days after surgery, or if the taking them pushed me into it… either way, commit me.
very crazy.
My two year old is nuts. Just totally crazy. He loves, LOVES Little Einsteins, will litterally watch it for hours interacting and doing what they say. He yells and plays and is so excited every time it comes on. He is quite amusing to watch when he is watching it.
This afternoon, after his nap, I told him he had to have pants on to go get his sisters from school and he ran for the door, then came back to get his diaper changed. But once the diaper was changed he ran and hid from pants, giggling the whole time. After I caught him and put his pants on him, he went and got his shoes and told me how they are cars with eyes the whole time I put them on him. Once dressed he climbed in the stroller and buckled himself in for the ride.
After we got home. he was chasing some toy that his sisters were tossing around the house, when he found a pair of little boys underwear, that I picked up in hopes of convincing it is time to use the potty, with the incentive of ‘big boy underwear’ that was a flop, but he wants to wear the underwear over his diaper, like pants. and he would not drop it. So he sat down and took his shoes off, and his pants and pestered me until I helped him put the shorts on. Then he grabbed his shoes and insisted that they go back on his feet. so here is this little boy, wandering around in a button up shirt, undershorts on over a diaper and Cars shoes.
Yep, he is totally nuts, but we love him anyway

7. forget to take my medication that helps with my crazy
8. continue to spew hate and discontent because I am not getting the attention I think I deserve.
if I ever do any of these, please remind me why people point and laugh.
inspiration??? Look here.. crazy starts with comment #9 and follows through all of that poster’s comments.
of the crazy child!!! My older kids get out of school early today, something that happens every wednesday (grrr… don’t get me started on that one!) so I am refraining from laying the 2 year old down for his nap until after the girls are home, otherwise he will sleep for all of 30 minutes before I have to get him up and go get his sisters.
He is being a total lunatic this morning… latest occurance… he is running in circles in my living room screaming QUACK QUACK QUACK at the top of his lungs…. Crazy little monkey butt… is it any wonder I believe that I am raising Wild American House Apes?
which is gonna make me insane first, The heat, the lack of sleep, or the children. Maybe all 3.
My 2 year old has quit napping, so by the end of the day, he is cranky and hard to deal with. Plus, he is waking up really really early, 4:30 yesterday, 4:00 this morning, and today, just as I managed to drag my half asleep ass in to him, he is crawling back into bed. So I laid him back down, and went back to bed myself. Only to be awoken for the day just 2 1/2 short hours later (need I mention that this brought my grand total of sleep last night to just 4 hours?)
On top of the fact that is is pushing 6pm and it is still over 100 outside.
After several days of sick kids, whiny, running and screaming, I am so glad they are back in school today. Between nap time and school, I can get a couple hours of quiet time, just to do what I want, or need, a few minutes of peace to do. I am going to pretend that I we don’t have a 4 day weekend coming up, I don’t want to think about it. Got an extra bathroom I can hide in?
