My Life Thus Far

My Advanced Intellectual Mind...

***

I don't want to talk about it. That's pretty much how I'm
feeling right now. The damn headache is back. I'm feeling
overwhelmed (I'll explain later) and tired. Nothing major,
though. Overall, the day wasn't a bad one, but it wasn't
all that fabulous, either. Sometimes I wonder why people
even bother reading about my mundane life.

I worked an early shift today (9am-1:30pm), which I don't
normally do, but Tamara scheduled me for it when Snookums
and I were going to go to the Stennis Christmas party
(which was tonight at 6pm. Generally, around the time I
usually get off), but we changed our minds about going.
Not many people Snookums knew were going, so he didn't
want to go. That was fine with me. I didn't want to go
regardless of who was going to be there. So, work was easy
and went by quickly. The store doesn't open until 10am
(and the first hour is pretty dead), so I had some time to
stock the garden products and just gather my thoughts
(and, dare I say it...think). I wasn't feeling like much
of a people-person today.

After work Snookums and I spent a few hours alone
together. His parent sent him $300 for his birthday, so we
went to Applebee's for lunch and then strolled around the
mall. We stopped back in VS, because I wanted to pick up
the Very Sexy makeup case we had on sale today. Snookie
also got me 2 more eyeshadow compacts and a lip one, too.
Its so adorable, I love it! One of these days I'm planning
on going to the Tacoma store (because they have a separate
beauty store in their VS) to stock up on the makeup. I
love VS makeup. I was using Clinique, but the smokey color
palette of Very Sexy is so much more me.

We picked the girls up the usual time and took them to
McDonald's for dinner and to let them play in the play
area for awhile. After that, we took them to see Happy
Feet, which turned out to be a mistake. Kiki started
acting up half way through it, so I ended up sitting with
her out in the car for an hour, so Annie could get to see
the ending. I didn't think it was fair for her to miss it
because her sister decided to be a pain in the ass. I
don't think I missed out on much. I left when Mumble was
being kicked out and without being told, I'm pretty sure
he gets the girl and figures out what's going on with the
fish. You've seen one animation, you've seen them all.
Animation isn't my thing, anyway. My advanced intellectual
mind is bored by them (yeah, right, that's exactly it.
More like, my mommy-brain is all cartooned out)! The
little darlings are asleep in their beds now and have been
for the past 90 minutes. It's mama-daddy time!

When we got home tonight the paperwork from Holly Ridge
was in the mail box. I have to finish filling it out and
then send it back so we can get Kiki's evaluation started.
I already did the first parental evaluation, but there are
more to come. They also sent us a booklet of sign language
we can use to communicate with Kiki. In the envelope,
there was a little chart describing what a "normal" 18
month old child should be able to do and Kiki isn't even
doing half of them. I think that was Snookums first
realization that there's something going on with her. He
feels terrible about it and I wish I could make him feel
like I do, but it will take him time. I don't feel bad for
Kiki. I know she'll be okay. They don't call it early
intervention for nothing.

Snookums is very excited about tomorrow. At 2pm, he has
his surgery. They'll remove his terribly infected ingrown
toe nail and kill the nail bed. Hopefully this means the
nasty thing will never grow back again. I wonder what his
toe will look like? Not that I care all that much (he'll
always be handsome to me), I'm just curious. I've never
seen a nailess toe before.

I think I'll be signing off for now. I'm ready to crawl
into my bed and cuddle up with Snookums. I'd better get my
fill because I won't have him to cuddle with much longer.
