Burnt out from being sick...
From last Friday until yesterday, we were all sick with bronchitis. I didn't do any of the following:
cook
clean
get dressed
limit tv and movies
Thankful we are all better now!




Burnt cookies...
We made our annual gingerbread cookies and the last batch went in during dinner.

I forgot about them.

Until 45 minutes later.

End result?
Two sheets of black cookies, a smoke filled house, a sad 3 year old, and a ruined wall. Yes, I was so paniced that I ran out the front door with the cookie sheet to throw the cookie sheet in the snow (yes, it's true). In realizing that wasn't going to solve anything, I went to run back to the sink to dump the sheet in. Knowing that my hot mitts are less than effective, I turned from the front door to the kitchen a little too fast, and smacked the cookie sheet into our freshly painted wall. Three nice marks in the wall to patch and repaint.

Laugh at me and I'll do this-


You also won't get any of the cookies that turned out. ;)



Burnt out from bottle insanity.
Little Benny has decided that he isn't a fan of taking a bottle. Or maybe he just really likes his mommy and doesn't want her to leave her for more than a few hours in a day. Either way, he needs to learn to take a bottle again. We've been trying for a few weeks and final effort was to get new bottles that have the same nipple as his soother.
Found it.
Bought it.
Sanitized it.
Tried it.
It took 20 minutes to get 2.5oz in, but he did it!
We'll be giving him one everyday so he doesn't forget again and so that I can have a life again.
He has reclaimed his status as an angel baby.
