After three days of drama, bribery, and threats, Molly finally pulled her loose tooth. And then she didn't even realize she had pulled it out until I told her, it was that loose. She got a princess tooth brush with the spinning brush, some princess dental floss, Trident layers gum, and fifty cents. :0)
Molly also got to go to a Redhawk's game today with her school for being a good student. I don't want to sound like a giant cliche but I can't believe Pre-K is almost done with. (Sniff, sniff!)
I did get a pool for Mother's Day. It seemed a bit extravagantly priced, and I didn't think we should spend that much. But then Mike reminded me that we had postponed Christmas presents for each other this year until Valentine's Day and then didn't get presents for Valentine's Day either. And, he suggested, while we don't have a lot of savings, it's not like before when we had no house or health insurance. So, I said okay. Because really it's for our health. It just turned out to be a bit more than we thought because of the chemicals. I don't even want to look at the water bill when it comes!
Of course, it's been too cold to swim because it's May, but that problem will soon be solved.
Happy early Summer Everyone!
My page views have increased a bit, and I'm excited about getting a follower that is actually someone I've never met! Things are starting to get interesting. Hopefully! :0)
Molly starts Pre-K on Monday. I still don't know what time to drop her off and pick her up. I'll have to call up there today. Sometimes I look at her and think how awesome it would be to be able to start over from the beginning again, except this time a lot smarter. I'm not envious exactly, but sad for myself a little. Aw, well, such is life. It's not about me anymore.
The Crest in Edmond sells the anniversary Dr. Pepper with real sugar in it. We drove up there last night and bought four 12 packs. That should last me quite sometime. I have banned Molly from drinking regular soda pop because I have associated behavioral issues with it. Now she has to drink juice or water when we go somewhere for lunch. She did argue with me a little, but over all she seems sort of grateful that I put my foot down.
I thought I'd leave with a couple pictures that Molly took to entertain herself when I left the camera unattended. They seem a bit postmodern, don't you think? :)
I got up this morning, and I thought, I've been doing really well keeping up with the blogs for the past few weeks. Frankly, I'm tired of it. Well, I'm sure it's a temporary thing, but I thought perhaps I should take the week off. I'm going to focus my energies on other things, like the baby shower gift I am preparing for my sister-in-law. The shower is not till August 14, so you'll have to wait until then to see the pictures. :0)
Sigh, I don't get it, why do kids have to eat all the time? I have stuff to do!
Anyway, my mom will have Molly next Monday and Tuesday, so I will take advantage of my time alone. I think I want to focus more time on etsy this week too. Molly also starts Pre-K on August 2. She'll only be gone for a couple hours in the afternoons, and I'm sure it will take some time to figure out how to utilize my time. (I'm so worried that I will forget to pick her up.)
Write more in a week.
