weeping gratitude
This morning, I would like to take the opportunity to express my gratitude to a few people.
First, to the makers of Infant Pediacare, without whom I might never get a decent night's sleep during cold season.
Second, to the makers of the Baby Einstein series of videos, especially the Baby Mozart video, without whom I might never be able to put on makeup or blow dry my hair in the mornings.
Third, to Fisher-Price, for making the Kick and Play Bouncer, without which I might have to take a shower while holding my baby.
Fourth, to my mother, who told me there was no reason to cry, but when I answered, "Sometimes I don't need a reason to cry", said "Oh, honey, I know."
She understands.
And finally, to my husband, who burned the vegetables (probably on purpose) but made up for it by making the most delicious teriyaki chicken last night.
He used the wok and everything.
Oh, and an update from yesterday's Exersaucer debacle: I got Charles to call The Evenflo People (a much less technologically advanced and yet more vicious tribe than The Daycare People) and we made them look up the model number/manufacturer date for our Exersaucer Ultra.
Then we suggested that they fire their website designer.
So, anyway, now we have assembly instructions! In English, French and Spanish!
Any bets on how long it will take of my nagging and whining before Charles actually puts the damn thing together? I'm betting 4 days and 3 hours.
But, did I mention the really fabulous teriyaki chicken that he cooked all by himself? I think that earns him at least 12 hours nag- and whine-free. After that, it's gloves-off, unless he wants to cook something else really scrumptious.
You are really having a week of it aren't you? Everything will work out and you will be able to tell tales on your son one of these days when he brings home his girlfriends. Can you think that far ahead!?

Hmm, So there I am sleeping and the phone rings. After speaking a minute about our son, my wife tells me to "look at her blog, I gave you mad props" which, if you look at that one sentence by itself, really wouldn't make any sense to someone that wasn't internet savvy or hip to slang. Some of the elderly people I care for might even ask if that sentence was in english, but I digress.
So, I get up to read about all the "mad props" (I mean really, how often does a husband get "mad props" from his wife...much less pasted on the web?) and in my male mind this is what I read "Great chicken, you have 12 hours to start on that exersaucer from hell before I nag you into an early grave" which, in itself is an early form of the infamous nag, disguised as a compliment. Oh well, I guess a daddy has to take what he can get.
