i made it to the gym this morning (b/c my parents were here yesterday & then the appraiser was here b/c we are refinancing) & came home around 10 & got millie in bed & just as i was soaping my hair up in the shower, amelia starts screaming. apparently she was stuck in the crib rails...again! but, ah, what can i do with shampoo in my hair? so i finish the shower quickly & get some goop in my hair (or else i will look, uh...like einstein) & then eucerin lotion on lickity split (or else i will ITCH for the next week) & then get a bottle ready in .9 seconds & put another dora show on for adeline & then whisk millie out of her crib that has snot & cry spots all over it. she was at the exact opposite end of where i had put her down & was all rolled up in her blanket sobbing. poor little one. but a mama's got to take a shower after a work out.
feed millie, put her down for a second nap attempt & make my way downstairs & am welcomed with horrendous sobbing coming from adeline. apparently it was not the dora show she wanted (we have about 9 24-minute episodes on our tivo from dvd's). we went through all of the dora episodes & she couldn't find the one she wanted. so i turned the tv off b/c it was beyond frustrating...which only increased her sobbing tenfold. SIGH. i tell her it's time to calm down & i go off to dry my hair a bit.
10 minutes later, i come down to hear her sobbing & calling out for daddy, which she had been doing the entire 10 minutes i was gone. she cries for daddy for sometimes & that's okay with me. they have a pretty close relationship & i love it. i think i'm secure enough in our relationship (me & addy) that i am just honkey dory with her wanting others sometimes. like last night when my parents left from their spring break visit & adeline sobbed & reached out as they left & was just plain heartbroken (as were my parents). i think it's great that she is so close to her daddy & grandparents (okay, & her aunts, uncles, judy, & cousins...she is a very loving little girl, now that i think of all the people she cries for sometimes). so i let her call wes on the phone & she is so happy to hear him talk & he suggests that she watch 'miffy' & is happy for awhile (until right now she is again on the floor crying & calling out for daddy).
that is my morning so far.
oh & i failed to mention that i have had my eyes opened to the importance of wearing a bra. the gym is not only good for exercise, but also so catch a glimpse of 70-80 year old women completely naked (& younger women as well) in the locker room. not that i enjoy this AT ALL. i try to divert my eyes as much as possible but there's only so much of the floor i can watch as i find my locker amongst the naked women. i believe they are all getting dressed from the pool & apparently they feel comfortable enough to strip down in front of 20 or sometimes 30 other women in the locker room. so i've now seen the progression of boob saggyiness & feel the need to wear a bra even more now (b/c even small breasts will sag, i have now discovered). i'm not even talking about a minor sag, this is, you know the joke, to the knees sort of sagging. i wonder if this is the generation of hippies?? is this those early baby boomers turned bra burning hippies in the elderly years already? anyway. i think i will make my way to a good bra store to ensure full support very soon.
AND the trees lining our street now have blooms peeking out. so this week, if you want to see something very pretty indeed, drive around in annehurst subdivision in westerville & you will see streets lined with white blooms on trees. beautiful!
& that's all i have time for b/c adeline is now in the throes of a 25 minute tantrum that has progressed to spit spewing out of her mouth, throwing things, hitting things (which make her get hurt, etc) & then shouting loudly, i'm sure waking amelia up very very soon.

Maybe those older women would tell you the most wonderful thing about being that age is that you don't HAVE to care...... ;)
