Just some things...
1. According to one of my favorite shows, Heroes, Lubbock has an aquarium with a manatee! WOW--I can't believe that I didn't know about it. So, if anyone knows where this aquarium is I'd love to go and see that sea cow! Anyone else want to go?
2. Andy tells me that some of the people that he works with read this blog because they get to see pictures of Charlie. So, I'd like to send a shout out to the night nurses on the pediatric floor! Thanks for taking care of Andy. I hope you don't think I'm a moron when you read my blog.
3. I supposed to be gettin' fit as part of a weight loss challenge but so far I've managed to eat left0ver cake and ice cream everyday this week. I feel pretty gross.
4. I've made over $50 so far volunteering Charlie for social science research on infant development. What?...I bought him a toy with some of that money. I might buy myself one with the rest. Just kidding...maybe.
5. I was told by Charlie's preschool teachers that they're having a Valentine's party and Charlie needs to have a Valentine for every kid in his class. My thoughts: Ummm...they're babies. Ok, true confessions...I'm a little excited since I haven't done the class valentine thing since I was in elemenatry. I'm sure I'll attend their "party" as well. Update: I bought some sports and some bug valentines today but I just don't feel right giving a card to another little baby boy that refers to him as my son's valentine. This whole giving every kid in class a valentine thing is weird. I won't go into the gendered overtones...blah, blah, blah.
6. It's one thing to accidently fall asleep in class. It's another to cover your head with your sweatshirt and put your head down on your desk for a nap. I think I'll shop for a water gun so I can "alert" my sleeping students that they've missed a slide in my power point.

7. I HATE the Toys 'R Us store here. I tried to return something and though it was obviously brand new and unused with tags I couldn't make it happen because I didn't have a receipt. I'm going to boycott them as long as I can.
8. Did your school have powder puff football? My school didn't and I really wish they had. Although I was 5'1" and 100 lbs (I know what you're thinking...what happened? I'm thinking the same thing!) I think I really would've loved it. Andy was a coach for his high school's powder puff game--shocker.
9. Andy's going to participate in an "I Beat Pete" challenge tomorrow with some guys from the hospital. It's a contest of who can make more slap shots in ice hockey. There are so many things wrong with Andy participating in this activity. Charlie and I will be there in case he needs a ride to the ER.
10. One of the "tips" in a parenting magazine that I get suggested feeding your kids dinner when they're in the bathtub when you need to save time. WHAT?! That's disgusting and weird. It reminds me of that Seinfeld episode where Kramer puts a disposal in his tub drain and cooks a meal while he's showering. Seriously, are you really that pressed for time?
I took these pictures a few weeks ago after I strapped Charlie into his long-ago-retired baby bouncer seat. I just needed him to sit still and watch his DVD for 5 minutes! He looked so funny I even cracked myself up! He thinks I'm crazy.

I hate Toys R Us for the same reason. Had something Taylor could not wear (new with tags) and they would not take it back! Ugh!! Also, the bathtub feeding is NASTY! The pics crack me up!! Those will be black mail someday.
