~~ i am the Funnest Mom EVER !!! =) :p ;-) ~~
not really :p but ............................
i let my child take a Shower ............. with her clothes on !!!! :O O_O ................ so i'm pretty fun ;) ................... but honestly, i did it out of neccessity , not because i am an awesomely fun Mom :) =) ..........
** ........... So anyway ................ Today Angelina went outside to play and when she came inside she was covered from head to toe in mud ( it hadn't been raining, i had watered the lawn ... ) which is not an entirely unussuall occurence, in fact i have greeted with this site of her quite often lately ^_^ but .............. this time she was actually fully clothed .... which IS a somewhat unussuall occurence as a matter of fact 0_o ( my child does not like clothing =) ;) ) ............ she had on a very pretty purple and white flowered 'Sunday' dress actually .......... which meant that the pretty dress was covered from head to toe ( or seam to hem as it were :p ) in Mud as well ................. so, acting on braindead but still somewhat functioning auto pilot mother Instinct, i ushered her to the bathroom and into the bathtub -- still with her dress on -- and pulled the detachable shower head down, turned on the water to warm, and proceeded methodically to 'hose' her off, dress and all .................... she didnt mind a bit :) ........... she quite liked it in fact =) .............. i just figured it would be easier to get the mud off her dress if she was acting as a 'human dress model' for me and holding it suspended in air :) ... and it did seem to work well, what do you know :) ;-) ... the mud came off pretty well with the preasure of the water and a little rubbing ... and then i took it off her and set it aside to go in the wash ...............
**We did some painting and other Art projects today ...... half out of my desire to just get the projects done as i had been wanting to and putting them off for awhile ( although i didn't honestly really feel like doing much of anything ... i was tired today ... but also feeling Anxious to be productive with the small ammount of energy i had :p ... i'm quite silly, i know :p ) .............. and half out of my desire to find something 'new and fun' to occupy Angelina's attention and -- err -- keep her out of trouble :) .... for a bit anyway ^_^ .............................. tired as i was i am pleased with the painting etc we got done and the progress we made on different little projects :) .............. to Exspand =) ............... the projects included putting white paint on part of a small piece of furniture .... a very small little 'fake-wood' cubby / end table ....... and painting with blue, and then cutting and glueing some scrap book paper to a small cardboard box which Angelina uses to keep 'doll things' in and which deffinately was in need of some 'pretty-ing' up :) .......................
** I am tired today, and i am tired of always being busy ... Too busy ... i need to slow down, i know ... it's really more than enough for me to just simply keep up on the dishes and the laundry ( the two most time consuming 'house keeping' things ) ................ and then keeping the lawn watered, and everyone fed, and the house picked up all over ... and then trying to keep a constant and watchful eye on Angelina at all times so she doesn't get into trouble :) ... Too much trouble anyway ;) :p ........... sometimes i think that just keeping Angelina 'tucked under my wing' and out of trouble is enough of a full time and 'fully exausting' job in itself as it is without all that other stuff :) hehe ............... but i suppose ALL mothers kinda feel like that more or less ^_^ ...................
** i think that i have been having 'pre- labor' ( i don't know if that's what i should call them ... as in 'perfectly normal and i'm not in labor' :) ) Braxton-hicks sort of contractions lately from time to time ................ and they kindv hurt but at the same time ................ i find myself rather enjoying them in a strange way ^_^ ............... hhhmmmmmm -_- ................ or enjoying the fact that i am having them ?? i am not sure but ................. the smallest and simplest movement from the Baby gives me such a strange delight i can't explain :) ... even when it's somewhat uncomfortable or even painful ... it's a good painful and i can certainly endure it ... it's worth it to hear her 'knock on me' and say 'Hello' ............ and it's Soooo assuring to know she's there and she's Alive and well and Healthy and wonderful and -- hopefully -- very happy :) .................. ** i love you little Alexandria :) ....................... i love having you stretch and roll around and kick like a little funny jack rabbit inside my tummy, it makes me happy to know you're there :) ... i just hope you have enough room in there :p ... i know it's getting a bit tight lately ;) ** ..................................... hehe .......................
** i ....................... wish wish wish wish wish .............. that i could Pause Time sometimes because it just seems to move and change too fast and i feel like i can't keep up sometimes ................ and i wish i had more time to talk to friends ... and Blog about all the stuff i do and what goes through my head when i do it ................. and most importantly the Cute Things Angelina Says and Does :) ................. and i wish all the things i want to do before the baby comes could magically just 'Be Done' because .......... Honestly ?? all i want to do is Rest and Be Still and Calm and eat well and drink plenty of water and just Simply enjoy being Pregnant enjoy and having this preacious Baby inside me for the next three weeks .............. ( or whatever it is ?? ) before she comes out :) .................. i dont hate being 8 months pregnant ... not a bit :) ... i just don't want to do anything :) ................... so Magic Gaurdian Faeries ?? ( like the ones in Sleeping Beauty :p :p ) ............. please feel free to come at any time and wash the dishes and hang the laundry out to dry and fold it and put it away and ... babysit for me :) ^_^ ................. i will be sitting here on my comfy futon with the air conditioner blowing softly, feeling the joyful kciks and movements of my baby and Being. Quite. Zen .............. ** wakes from fantasy to find that Alas ... there are No Magic Gaurdian Faeries LikeTheOnesFromSleepingBeauty ... but Twas a Nice Dream ** ;) ..........................
** These Braxton hicks actually Are rather hurting ... more than i ever have i think ... hhhmmm ............. Wouldn't it be funny if i had the baby tonight ??? O_O WOULDN't it ??? ........... hahaha ^_^ .............. funny as in ... Surprizing and rather Unexpected :O .................. ( and Yes :), i have asked this question a thousand times before and thousand nights already ;) do Not be Alarmed :p =) .................. )
** and my cats actually DO do that :) .................. 'paw' the toilet paper down off the toilet paper roller in the bathroom like bad little Toddlers :) ( what the kitty is doing my little Icon :p ) ................ and i have a large black kitty who looks very much just like the animated one in the picture ........................ whenever i see a moving / animated picture / icon i am reminded of none other than Harry Potter ... and the Magical Moving PIctures .... ahhh, the Magic of Technology and html code =) :p ............. it's pretty impressive sometimes ;) ......................
** well Angelina is caughing rather pathetically ... she is sick, we have all been sick with a rather bad cold / caugh ... so i am off :) ... ~~ sick child calls ~~ ................**
