The Oscars happened? Um, I wasn't actually watching, instead I was curled up on a couch with a sleepy Moo and Ducky watching a show called... um... something. About dancing? I don't know. It's on Disney and the kids go to John Hughes High School and my heart broke when I realized they have no idea who he is. (I get they are 6 and 4, I'm not saying ( Read more... )

Just on the heels of my sinus infection I caught the cold that has been circulated at work. Makes work at a preschool sound glam, doesn't it? That being said, I did get a twenty minute cuddle session with the cutest little 2 and a half month old EVER KNOWN TO MAN. Omg, her hair. She had 2 month old Moo's hair, thick and black and I just rocked her ( Read more... )

For the first time in the last six years I fell asleep after the kids did. I am mortified! I feel so unprofessional and embarrassed and I am pretty sure that I looked totally unprofessional and ...ugh. I mean. The kids were asleep and if one of them needed me I was close enough to hear them but I never fall asleep. Even if I have to stay till 3 AM ( Read more... )

I hit 175k words today. Which means that in the next 21 days I have to write 25k... though either way. A HUNDRED SEVENTY FIVE THOUSAND FREAKING WORDS. That's a LOT. The Neil/Kent fic I am working on is currently at 20k. I have about 2 thousand of the Stella verse (named "heartstrings that play soft and low") I've switched my goals to just having ( Read more... )

Today I worked, which was awesome. Except for the fact that Moo and Ducky were both exhausted and thus were a little bit bratty. It's weird, they were both trying to test boundaries today, something they haven't done with me in a while. I guess it's because it's been a while since I was with them both for extended periods of time? My mom called me ( Read more... )

Tomorrow I get Moo and Ducky for the day as there is no school and apparently Ducky is too cool for the Mascot program (school thing where they have babysitting for working parents). I'm not gonna complain as I am broke as a joke and any money is kind of a miracle in and of itself. I work from 10-6, but knowing the family it'll probably be 6:30 ( Read more... )

Moo is sick today, so I'm playing nanny nurse. I forget that the older kids get the more they just want to be left alone. Though when I asked if he needed anything (like juice or water) he told me, quite seriously, he needed a kiss and a hug. Who am I not to oblige? Now he is watching 'Kung Fu Panda' and just zoning out. Poor little Monkey ( Read more... )

I made a promise to myself that I wouldn't sign up for any more challenges, especially when I punked out on the latest Big Bang (though really, I have done 2 out of 3 so not bad per se). I say it and then I think about it and I kind of WANT that pressure on me? I am two prompts away from the outer square on schmoop_bingo (LAME, I AM SO LAME), tons of stories ( Read more... )

Afternoon with a (barely sick) Moo. He's going stir crazy, I'm going stir crazy and yet? I am beyond happy. Man I missed this silly little monkey. His mom told him I had been really sick last week, so he had to take care of me. Three times so far he has turned in the middle of doing something else and asked, "You okay ( Read more... )
