Nice tribal on Survivor last week. I got another peek at baby Prizes on friday last, s/he has a heartrate of 175 (Cash's was never over 145) and likes Skynrd. S/he was all curled up until "Sweet Home Alabama came on the office PA, then s/he started to dance! Back to us  Up until last week, Cash hasn't expressed a preference, but on wednesday he said he wanted the baby to be a girl. I think it's just because he likes Tyler's baby sister Lily so much. Also before bed, he said BEE BEE! BEE BEE! and we were looking for his baby doll or a small version of a stuffed animal and then he said BEE BEE! again and lifted up my shirt to pat my belly. I guess he's got the idea at last. ( you think i'm lonesome, so do i ) |

Really my "morning" sickness is worst at night, so with Cash not napping, by the time he falls asleep, I feel utterly miserable and want to just go to bed myself. If he were sleeping during the day, I'd likely be better about writing. ( but gravity always wins ) |

Still feeling miserable and exhausted all the time. I've only thrown up four times (two of them last night) but I am pretty much non-stop nauseated. And sooo tired, all the time. Cash got a haircut yesterday, he looks fabulous  ( yeah so uh, like uh, into it, ) |

I was really happy with the results of Hell's Kitchen. Overall, I found it a very enjoyable season. So far SYTYCD is shaping up pretty good! I like how they are making a concerted effort this season to be sure we see everyone in the top 20 before they get there, so it's not like in the past where they announce people in the top 20 who we have never clapped eyes on before. I had a dvr Toddlers & Tiaras marathon while Cash was napping today. I'm not allowed to watch it when Sean's home, he thinks it's totally disgusting. I agree, but I'm drawn to the train wreck. I told my DVR to stop recording Glee. I have been nauseated for the last 2 weeks, almost non-stop. In the afternoons I usually get a break for a few hours. I can't eat much. Whenever something sounds good to me, I eat it, because it happens so rarely. I had spicy pickles and white rice with butter for lunch. The smell of cooking meat absolutely destroys me. I am fixing to buy Sean a hibachi and make him cook outside. ( i called her fab and mrs. fish...i didn't get her name ) |

We went to Gulf World today! We tried taking Cash last year, but he didn't really get that much out of it. He enjoyed it a lot more this time, plus it was half off for locals and he's free, so it was only $12. Well worth it.  He's enjoying it more than he appears to be here! He just wanted to turn his head to face the sea lion, and I didn't think he'd like a big whiskery, fishy kiss on the lips, so I was trying to keep his face to the camera. And I had to keep his arms down when he wanted to give it a hug too, so I was kind of wresting with him the whole time. But overall he was tickled, he keeps wanting to see the picture and make kissy noises at it. Like mother, like son! ( remember these? ) |

On the other hand, I've finally caught up on season 2 of 90120 and WOW! It's excellent, so far even better than last season. I love it! I tried to watch the new Melrose Place too, but found it too OTT to stomach. I stopped watching the original MP in the last few seasons because it just got too silly and it looks like the new one picks up where those left off. Having a hard time getting into Survivor this season, but that's more my fault than the show's, I keep trying to watch it at times where it doesn't have my full attention. ( full of people you don't understand ) |

I really need to get my child a punching bag. He gets so frustrated so easily right now, maybe if he had something he was encouraged to hit, he could work some of that out. I have no idea what he is going to be for Halloween. He is so not into dressing up, he just doesn't want to wear anything that's not his normal clothes. I saw this & thought he might wear it because it's Thomas and not really going to impede his movement  It's actually much shorter than it looks, it only went a bit below Cash's waist. It really was just like a vest. They had it at Toys R Us yesterday, and he liked it, so I put it on him. After about two minutes he started pulling at it and shaking his head no. It's made of foam so it's kind of stiff and the collar probably wasn't very comfy. I am thinking maybe he can just wear a Thomas t-shirt and jeans and like...a bandana or something. He's just not a costume kind of guy. I can't even get him to keep a hat on for longer than a few seconds. Actually I have a t-shirt from last year that he could wear, it's orange and says THIS IS MY COSTUME. Ha, that'd be about the right attitude for him. ( and he can do that, which is more than any old cat could ) |

Anyone watching the new Survivor? When does Lost start again? I love how when Cash & I go outside in the evenings now, he looks up and says "MOOOOON!" then jumps up to try to catch it. Complete with UNGH sound effects. Watching him last night, I got all teary eyed hoping that he never stops believing he can. He has continued to put the terrible in terrible 2s this week, though not as bad as last week. Thankfully, we have a pretty low key week planned and nowhere we have to be, so it's enabling me to work with him and his moody moods. ( shaky breaky ) |

Cash has been sick with a cold since tuesday and in whiny miserable terrible-twos/tantrum throwing/ignoring me/being deliberately willful (like I tell him to stop kicking me, so he kicks me again) mode since then as well. This obviously does not do me any good. And coming home from a crappy long day at work to that sort of child and stressed out apparently ineffectual mom doesn't do Sean any good either. Which is how we ended up having an utterly miserable heartbreaking fight tonight & now I don't even know if we're going on our "supposed to be my for birthday/first date we've had since 2007" lunch & shopping trip saturday because I don't really think either of us feels like celebrating anything at the moment. Anyhow, one of the things I have committed to doing to try to address the problems & issues that were brought up is to spending less time online. I basically am only going to be online, save brief morning email checks, when cash is asleep. So, if you don't see me as frequently as you're used to, that's why. |

So when we got home later, I said "Cash, how do you say 'I love you'?" and instead of doing the sign he just tackled-hugged me. Then I said "Can you tell daddy you love him?" and he gave Sean a great flying tackle-hug. So we kept doing that saturday and sunday because it was cute. Last night at bedtime I said "How do you tell mamma you love her?" and he flung himself at me in a huge hug and said "LUB!" I said "What? Did you say LOVE?" and he squeezed me harder and said "LUB!" I said "Can you tell daddy you love him?" and he turned around and grabbed Sean around the middle and said "LUB!" And he's been doing it all day today. I have been waiting for this for sooooo long! There's 7 nights in the week, why do three things I want to DVR have to be on at the same time? I need to figure out how to arrange the two DVRs to get 90210, SYTYCD and The Biggest Loser every week. And maybe Melrose Place, if it's worth watching. Sean has banned me from watching Toddlers & Tiaras when he's home. He thinks it's the most repulsive show he's ever seen, he says it makes his blood pressure go through the roof wanting to throttle these awful stage moms.

I was trying to find a place to send it for repair, but Sean said based on the estimates I have been getting he'd rather get me a new camera as a birthday gift. Well...twist my arm! I have a $50 American Eagle birthday card to use, but if I get the 4 things I want it's $67. But if I take the one thing I can live without off it's $48. I heard a story on the NPR how like the few cents to few dollars that people leave over on gift cards and never use added up to like 3.2 billion dollars in free money for stores last year. I hate to contribute. What I don't hate is Glee! I love Glee. I tell you what I am also just loving the #Up series. We have two more to go, I can't wait to finish. Then we'll have to be patient until 2013 for 56 Up. As a parent of a very young child it's more amazing to me the ways in which the children do not change than the ways in which they do.

So I have watched every week of More to Love for lack of anything better to watch and yet I still was pretty much uninterested and couldn't have told you the names of any of the remaining girls that were in the finale before it started. I was just glad they got rid of Miss Waterworks last week, she was worse than Mary on Age of Love! Do you think they'll do this show again? It doesn't really seem to have caught on. Cash can say "COLD" now but if you ask him to say hot he just makes blowing noises. We had 12 two year olds in class this morning, boy do they fill up a room! It's funny how 12 little kids seem the same as 30 grown ups. I guess because they have as much energy as 30 grown ups! It's also funny how lines of masking tape in the floor can amuse toddlers bored with a room full of toys. This evening after dinner Cash and I went for a walk down the street. Cash suddenly gasped excitedly, pointed and said "TWO!" I looked up to see a pair of fighter jets flying over. "That's right! Two ...what are those?" I asked, expecting him to say "PLANE". He watched them fly side by side for a moment and then signed "FRIENDS". He's such a sweetheart. ( it's that time of year again, i can taste the air ) |

He has started singing me a bedtime song when I am snuggling him as he goes to sleep. He sings these gurgly gargly nonsense words like GLUB GGGGGLEEEE GRRRRRR GOOOOOO BLAAAAAAAAHHHH GLAAAAAAAAAAW GOOOOOO while he hugs my neck and rocks back and forth, occasionally stopping to kiss me. It's just too adorable for words. Which I guess is why he's not using them, ha ha. Sunday at church, I worked in his sunday school room with two other ladies. One of them was an older woman who was pretty strict with the kids, not mean but just being really demanding of them considering they were young 2 year olds. She was making each child say a word from the story of the day before she gave them their snack & I was worried that when she got to Cash he wouldn't say anything. He's not just one to spit out a new word when asked to repeat it, especially for a stranger. One holding food he wants, no less. She got to him and said "Cash, can you say BIBLE?" He looked thoughtful for a moment, then his face lit up, he started to wave bye-bye frantically and said "BULL!" I cracked up. And she gave him his cheerios. ( it's just after three pm, i see kids leaving school ) |

Did I mention I love Glee? I love Glee. Can't wait for next week. Does Mandy cry every week on More to Love? Has there been any episode in the last month that she hasn't cried? So tonight in water aerobics, we did a kind of relay with the pool noodles, where when it was your turn, you came up with some move for you & your partner to do. Like she threw the noodle to me and I said "Hold on, I'll pull you" then she threw it to Sarah and she said "Take the other end and we'll spin around". One set of partners are a husband and wife in their late 50s and when the noodle came to the husband, he held it up vertically and said "I'll hold it, you pole dance." Ha ha ha! My child won 914 tickets at the arcade today. 914! I have never won so many tickets in my life as that. He's only 2! He hit a 500 ticket jackpot on this one game, with absolutely no help from me. Then as we were trying to decide what to get, this older teen couple (like 18 or 19ish) asked if he wanted their tickets. Wasn't that nice? So he got 500 more. With such riches, he ended up getting a helicopter that flies, a matchbox car, a rainbow slinky, a bouncy ball, and 3 tootsie rolls. Quite a haul. ( of the mayor of marble falls ) |
