Good Job Mama

Ugh, I have the day off cause we are going to a wedding today. I thought “maybe” I could sleep in a little. Nope. My body is programmed now to wake up at 5-6am. While I was starting to wake up, I heard Angry Toddler waking up, cause he was coughing.

I went and got some Tylenol Multi-Symptom. I took it to him and he drank it right away. I’m soooo happy that he will take medicine now. This is a totally new thing as he refused medicine before. He then decided that he wanted to get up and go into the front room to watch Noggin.

I decided to go to the bathroom. Well he following me in, to our tiny bathroom. There was no room for him to stand, so he stood in the shower while I went. And OMG, while I went to wipe. He started clapping and said, “Good Job Mama.”

Yea, umm kid. I’ve been going on the potty for 30+ years. It’s your turn now. He is still trying to potty train. Maybe I inspired him for the day.

Some Angry Toddler Artwork



I posted some pictures on Angry Toddler’s blog. But I thought I would share with you all. Here is his most recent artwork from preschool!

Teacher Appreciation Week

As I was signing my son out of preschool last Friday, I noticed an extra piece of paper in his folder. The piece of paper was a letter from his school’s director. The paper stated that next week (starting tomorrow) would be Teacher Appreciation Week.

Ugh, seriously….

Next weekend is Mother’s Day, Angry Husband’s Family is coming into town for 3 days, and the week after that is Angry Toddler’s birthday.

I wish the school would have given more advanced notice, than 5pm, the Friday before…

I’m soo stumped on what to do for his teachers…

And on top of everything else, his has two main teachers, but several other teachers work his classroom DAILY. Do I get individual items? Do I get a group item?

Is there a budget? Seriously, this is Orange County, California. Not everyone is rich.

Crisis Averted-Wedding Ring Almost Lost

Ugh! I get soo scatter-brained sometimes. I was feeding Angry Husband’s fish and the phone rang. I went to answer the phone and somehow I got saltwater all over me. I got distracted from a damn wrong number. I argued with the person for like 2 minutes. It was probably a bill collector.

Anywho I washed my hands and then threw out some trash. I then realized, OMG, where is my wedding ring. SHIT!!! I can’t lose another one. I looked everywhere and couldn’t find the ring. I even called my mom and told her to bring over a wrench. I figured that the only place that the ring could be, was in the drain. My stomach started hurting.

I then went and got Angry Toddler from school. Meanwhile, I got a phone call from my mom lecturing me about losing jewelry. It’s a pattern with me.

I looked everywhere when I got home. I picked up a dish towel discarded on the counter and out my ring fell. YAY! I was soo happy. I called my mom to let her know. She told me that I need to get my ring re-sized. Since I’ve lost some weight, my ring is huge.

Angry Husband would have been pissed at me. This is my 2nd wedding ring. My first ring was lost/stolen when our house was for sale in 2005. This ring is a Hawaiian style ring. I don’t think I will be telling Angry Husband this story when he gets home, he will give me that look.

Mommy and Me Trip to Disneyland

I was in the middle of my single parent action for the week last night. I needed something to entertain Angry Toddler for the night. He is much better when his is being stimulated. I did something completely un-me. Seriously, I get very bad anxiety from AT sometimes. But I decided to be a grown-up and take Angry Toddler to Disneyland, all by myself. I think my mom was in shock when I told her. She kept calling me to see how things went.

Angry Toddler was great. He sometimes got a little squirmy in line, but I gave him that nice little parenting phrase, we all know and love. “If you don’t behave or listen, we are going to go home.” I swear, he straightened up and was an angel, everytime I said that.

The kid even sat in the stroller for me. It was amazing. We went on 4 rides, I think? Which was enough for AT, since he had been at preschool all day. Unfortunately, I forgot to bring me camera, but I had the Disney folks take a picture of us, see above.

I might try that again, someday. Angry Husband takes him all the time by himself. I’m not that brave.

Tonight, my parents are coming over. We are going to go to dinner or something.
