A Cut/Paste Job

****
"The ignorance, arrogance, and obstinacy of certain
individuals, whether their intentions were good or evil,
have been at the root of all the tragedies of histroy. The
mere names of these ruthless tyrants inspire fear and
loathing. So the extent to which people will like us
naturally depends on how much, or how little, we think of
others' good."

Okay, this is the last time (at least for awhile) that I
used an e-mail to Snookums as a substitute for an entry,
but I'm busy doing something and I want to finish and go
to bed. It's almost midnight. I have to write Snookums
detailed e-mails every day so he knows what's going on
here at home, so it's the best way you'll get the full
scoop on my day (if I'm too lazy to write a good entry). I
usually explain myself in greater detail here than in
Snookums' e-mails, becuase he doesn't require much detail,
but right now it's either a cut/paste job or a one
sentance "I'm too tired to write". So, take what you can
get!

Hi Snookums,

Sorry I didn't write earlier in the evening, but I was
painting. Yes, you heard me right. I've taken up painting.
I used to do it a lot in high school, but not so much as
an adult. It's very soothing and therapeutic for my poor,
mistreated inner child! Maybe Snookums will paint with me
when he gets home?

I think Annie hates me. All I asked her to do was
straighten up a little, but when I went in to get Kiki
ready for bed, she had EVERY piece of clothing she owns on
the floor, hanging over Kiki's crib, on the box spring
(because the mattress was still on the floor, covered in
toys). Her closet, dresser AND toy box where empty. I was
so pissed I couldn't even do anything about it. I took a
picture of the carnage and put it on the web site, but you
don't get the full impact of it. It's really bad. Thank
goodness it's a three day weekend, so she'll have plenty
of time to clean it up, because I refuse to help. I might
accidentally strangle her with her own cotton tights and
bury her under the mountain of clothes on her bed. No one
would ever find her there! I'm kidding, but I really am
upset by this. Why can't she follow a simple instruction?
Her teacher is having the same problem, which leads me to
believe we're going to have to stop this before it gets
any worse, but how?

Kiki had a good day. She's working on sounds. She
said "la" and "ba" today, but still now words. "Uh oh" is
as close as I've been able to get. One of her teachers at
daycare brought up her lack of speech to me yesterday.
First they want me to have her pediatrician have another
look at her frenulum (the little thing holding down her
tongue) and see if we should have it clipped. Ultimately,
the decision will be if she isn't talking by 18 months
(which is only 17 days away) they're going to consider
putting her in SPEECH THERAPY!!! I don't want that to
happen to my baby! What are we going to do with our
children. Annie is too smart and hard headed. Kiki is too
slow and hard headed. Is hard headed genetic? I'm their
common link, so it must have come from me!

Well Snookie, I'm getting sleep and I want to finish up my
painting and go to bed. I love you bunches and bunches.
More than a fried tofu sandwich! Write back whenever you
get the chance. Love You, Snookie!

Always and Forever Yours,
Peachy Bear
