Zoe's dad was supposed to keep her overnight tonight, but he had a tooth pulled, so I'm now stuck at home. I had a glass of red wine, just one, but I am feeling rather random. I'm sure this entry will reflect that.
My legs are so swollen. I don't know what's up with that, but it sucks because Dr. Egypt *sigh* has gone to PA for two weeks. Dammit. I need some free medical advice. I'm hoping my kidneys aren't failing.
Zoe is the most beautiful child on the face of the planet. I'll be brave and post my braggin website, so you can see how cute she is.
Proud Mom
She is most beautiful when she is asleep, but she is also the craziest sleeper, just like her father.
Right after we got married, we were sleeping and it was chillingly cold in our shitty little garage apartment. I slipped my arms under the covers and he said (in his sleep) "Get your cold ass arms off me." Here are a few other things he said:
"The FBI is in the window." I'm thinking America's most wanted. *cool*
"Your mother wears army boots."
"Don't fry those eggs on the hood of my car."
So far Zoe hasn't been as dramatic. I've only heard, "My biscuit, my biscuit," or "Mine! Mine!" Guess she is having problems with sharing at school.
But the child also must be touching me at all times. We share a king size bed and there is about 4 feet of space on her side of the bed. No matter where I go, I usually end up on the edge of the bed. Her feet or hands on me at all times. One day I hope to be able to afford a two bedroom.
---------------------
Lame, but true, miscellaneous facts about me. I guess I've never really done this part, so I thought I'd share, especially since I've already blogged major intimate details of my sex life...
1. I'm one of 7 kids. Good catholic family. My dad is a deacon so if *knock on wood* my mom were to die, my dad could become a priest. A priest with 7 kids and 9 grandkids.
2. I am an Air Force brat. We've only lived in the US, but each kid was born in a different city. I was born at Westpoint, NY.
3. I've been separated from my husband for a year now. We were married for nearly 7 years. I'm not divorced because I want to stay on his medical insurance. (That is the ONLY reason. Otherwise I would have hit the divorce attorney ASAP.) My insurance plan at work is expensive and crappy. He doesn't pay any extra for me (he pays Zoe's) so it works for us.
4. I'm a diabetic. Yipee. I started on insulin when I got pregnant. 3 years later & I'm still shooting up. Methinks the drama in my life is mostly caused by my messed up blood sugar levels. 700 shots a year for 3 years now. I can't understand how anyone can be a junkie. It's horrible. But at least I don't have AIDS or cancer or something, so I'm pretty grateful for that.
5. I have a degree in English writing. I don't think I'm a very good writer, but I bluff my way through it. I have freakishly weird stories, so I have to write about them. Otherwise I might go insane.
6. I've had a series of lame jobs since I graduated (1991). I've done marketing, pr, technical writing and human resources. I don't know where I'm headed, but I am glad not to be on the unemployment line. We're thinking of franchising the slavercise if we can. I kickbox. I could put the beatdown on someone.
7. I'm 5'10 or 5'11. I haven't measured in a while, but I'm usually the tallest woman around. It's good to be tall I think.
8. My sister, now a stay home mom, was on Who Wants to be a Millionaire. With Regis. She won 64K. They paved their driveway. Two lawyers.... they were rich already. The rest is gravy.
9. I've been babysitting forever. I still do quite often. I could change a diaper at age 5. Why I'm not a teacher, I don't know.
That's enough sharing for now. I get diarreah (can't spell it) of the mouth sometimes.
