Day 4
Wow I seriously have a lot of icons. And I am fairly certain I have never used this one.
Today was crazy rain day, well now it is crazy rain night, in that it is still pouring down rain just that now it is nighttime. But for a day filled with rain it was just fine. Indy had a friend over and i got time to talk with another adult, another mom at that, with a boy close to Indy's age so we could chat about all things boys, both good and not as good.
Today we made brownies. I have no problem bragging that people always love my brownies. And I will tell you all the secret right now. Buy a good box brownie mix, I prefer the one that comes with extra Hershey's syrup to mix in. You make it exactly as the box says, but before putting it in the over you add any tasty sounding extras. I have used peanut butter, chocolate chips, broken up candy bars, marshmellows, m&m's, and my stand by, hot chocolate mix. I don't even measure, I just throw a couple things in. Today I threw in dark chocolate almond butter and mini chocolate chips.
In case you were wondering, they were awesome.
There really isn't much to discuss. I didn't have any caffeine today so i am fairly tired. I also didn't have much for dinner, because i didn't want to cook and didn't want to go out. So when given all options of what there was in the house the boy chose to have 2 eggs and I chose a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Yes a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and two small pieces of brownie. I swear I assumed i would end up hungry and would fix myself something later, but I still don't feel very hungry. I'll probably wake up at like 3am starving.
This isn't from today but i have to tell this story otherwise I might one day forget it. I usually wake up very easily, from the time the boy was a baby anything he did woke me up. I usually have a hard time if he sleeps with me because whenever he moves I wake up. Also know that scott is typically very difficult to wake up. So I'm sleeping, and wake up to Scott talking to me. He says, "I think the boy just fell out of our bed." This was very confusing for me since I did not remember him being in bed with us, but I look over at the floor and there he is. Sound asleep. Just sleeping on the floor. Before anyone starts freaking out, Scott and I are currently sleeping on a mattress on the floor, as one of the things we have not yet done in the house is put together any of the bed frames. So i picked the boy up and brought him up into bed with us, and went back to sleep. I probably should have brought him back to his bed but I did not.
As for the meltdowns I talked about yesterday, today was better. He did have a little bit of a meltdown when he was trying to get me to make today a different day, as in he wanted me to turn back time and make today yesterday. "Change the day" he cried at me, and I just laughed about how I can't change time and how funny that would be if I could. And that seemed to make it better. Or when I thought I had won a new game we were playing, and he started crying because he really wanted to win, and then when we looked over the rules again for a whole different reason, i discovered that i was wrong, and that he had won. Way to go mom for paying attention to the rules.
Detroit 187 has some potential, but I couldn't get into Law and Order LA. I have the new episode of House to watch but for some reason I just don't really care.
one more day to go!
