Smell cravings/update
22 weeks down . . 18 to go.
So I don't crave food anymore. I crave smells. Chemical and cleaner smells to be specific.
I normally clean with METHOD only, but in the last few weeks, I've purchased bleach (and used it liberally), those things you put in your toilet bowl that makes the water blue, and Draino. Yum, draino. I can't get enough of the stuff. I go to the store and just sniff cleaners.
I used to think men who worked lots of overtime hated their wives and just want to be out of the house. I know I jet out of the office right at 5 (or 4:30, really as early as I can sneak out). But now that I know how much money overtime can bring in, I am trying to look at the bright side. it's 7:45 and Erik is still at work.
Does anyone else have a hard time enforcing bedtime in the summer? Bedtime is in 15 minutes and I just can't make them got to bed because it's light outside. I'm the bedtime WITCH and it seems like they've been up until 9 or later the last few weeks. And of course I'm horibly judgement against people whose kids are up at all hours.
Bella is going to Disneyland with her summer camp tomorrow, then friday is the last day of camp.
SATURDAY WE MOVE.
Bella's friend is staying with us this week and it seems like all the do is fight. And there is not much to do around here because we are packing.
We went to the beach (the harbor, not huge beahc area with waves) for a few hours this afternoon. I put my feet in the water, and I felt weird stinging pains. I pulled my feet out and there were these tiny clear bug things all over my feet! And the drew blood in a few different places. Totally gross.
I try to be honest with my kids (age-apropriate explainations of course) with just about everything, so sometimes I have a hard time when people deliberately lie or keep information from their kids that will eventually get out. Bella's friend is staying with us because her grandfather died and her mom has to go to the funeral in Ohio. They don't want the kid to know, so she told her she's gone for work. AND the parents are splitting up. The kid and her mom have been living with a friend for weeks but they have not come clean. She thinks they're just hanging out over there. Of course, it's their kid and thier choice but I feel like I'm in an awkward situation because she is staying here.
