dad’s b-day bash was a success. although lots of people called to cancel because of the weather, there was still a great turn out and my Dad had a fantastic time.

the party, however, kicked my ass. i spent 80% of the evening waddling around, making sure food went out on time, the band was taken care of, Dad had food, Dad had drinks, people had signed the guest book, etc. i thought my back was going to break by the end of the evening.

boo got up fussing around one o’clock in the morning, and that was hard on all of us, bug props to hubbin though for taking care of her. this morning, while she and i were cuddling in bed watching cartoons and stuff, she put her sweet little mug up in mine and said mommy, you happy? mommy is tired, i yawned. No, she said, you not tired, you happy and beautiful.

well, my heart just melted and tears welled up in my eyes and it was yet again another wondrous moment that made me feel grateful and humble and special and a little sad that hubbin wasn’t there for it. but that one was for me. all of me.

i am coming to the realization that i have nothing to say. i mean, i do. but i am trying really hard not to be so negative. so on the plus side…..

the Dream Make-out List - Arizona version 2007
(people who showed up in my dreams and made out with me - not people i dream about making-out with)

- adrein brody - duh

- stephen colbert - this one was really awkward, since in the dream we both admitted to being married.

- david bowie - JCSG and i have gone round and round on our Brits over 50 list. jeremy irons is first on her list, while david bowie is first on mine. she thinks i’m insane, but bowie wins hands down in the style department, so there.

- christopher meloni - the hottie detective from SVU (which i only recently started watching on reruns). cold blue eyes stare, tattoos, fierce protector, build like a brick shithouse….what’s not to love?

my dad’s big b-day bash is tomorrow night. i am excited, but it’s going to be so much work. and who looks good in anything when they are five months pregnant. no one, you just look fat.

boo worked my last nerve today and i’m EXHAUSTED! she’s been a bit of a pill these last few days. behavior stuff, bratty ways of asking for things and always saying “Now!” “mommy, you give that back to me NOW!” mama aint havin’ it. so she’s been getting time-outs. tonight though, things started to sink in. after a time-out, daddy asked her why she was punished. “for hitting mommy.” she said. so she knows. i’m just worried that she’s going to hit some poor kid at school and then i’ve got the problem child. i honestly don’t think she’s got a problem. she’s two. and she’s been with me 24/7 for about 18 days now, and that’s just not good for either of us.

mi hermana from mexico city is in town for my dad’s birthday. she wants to go to the Mall of America on wednesday. i’m so not up for it. i told her i’d drop her off and meet up with her later. but still - gross.

i have another ultrasound of friday. they didn’t get a good enough look at bunny’s heart - apparently because i didn’t drink enough water, so bunny wasn’t in a good position. my doc says it’s nothing to worry about, so i’m not worried, but hubbin might not be able to make it, so now i’m thinking…..should i find out the sex? it’s a tough one.

i have a story due for vodo’s class on thursday. i haven’t been in like a month, but i’d hate to drop out now after such a feeble attempt.

and in the best news since halloween - JCSG is going to wrap books with me at B&N this coming friday. no i’m not telling you where since you’ll just come and stalk us.
