*sharpens pencil to write this 100 times*
interesting (or not) things that happened to me today:
Was over an hour late picking up Zoe from her dad's. Was busy writing previous vomit-inducing journal entry. Didn't catch that much flack over being late. Someone call Guiness World Book of Records.
Killed hangover with intake of Mexican food. Thank God for Mexican food and small favors.
Spilled 1/2 pound raw cashews at Whole Foods Market. Bag got snagged when Zoe was loading it on the belt & they poured out all over. She looked so sad, but I laughed instead. Told her it was ok because she was trying to be a good helper and it was an accident. I'm trying to teach her about accidents and on-purpose. She's been apologizing for both circumstances. "I sorry Mommy."
Played at the playground with Zoe for nearly two hours. Swings. Sweet.
Watched Bend it Like Beckham at Lara's house. Cute movie. Met her parents. They are adorable. I was very tense at Zoe acting up, (no nap) but then it got better when we were outside and Zoe was doing sumersaults and singing Baa Baa Blacksheep. Made me miss my mom seeing Lara with hers.
Later on I babysat 3 kids under the age of 3. The 3 year olds (Zoe and her cousin) were playing outside with bubbles and had a bubble fight. They pulled off all the cushions and turned the couch into a trampoline. Were singing the alphabet song in different styles in the tub together. I taught them this.... opera style (clutch chest, sing and shake head), rap style (yeah, boyyyyeee), oscar the grouch style (growling), etc. The 6 month old woke up only once. I snuggled her and sang. Huge burp. sheesh. Back to sleep in under 3 minutes. I still have the touch. She smelled precious.
I made $80 in 4 hours. My sister just rocks! Buys my groceries for two weeks.
I watched cable tv at their house. Addicting. I'm glad I cut that shit off when my ex moved out.
Dr. Egypt called me. *sigh* He has his boss' Rockets tickets for tomorrow night and asked me to go with. Excellent Seats! My ex agreed to watch Zoe tomorrow night in exchange for doing his laundry here. That's two times in one weekend that my ex has agreed to watch her.
*Whoops, it's been several minutes of no typing. Sorry, I fainted at that last statement.*
