And you thought I was a rocket scientist? December 7, 2006
Posted by spacemom in : Kids, She Blinded me with Science, Religion, I dream of sleep, Home wreckers , 1 comment so farOh man, I have picked up a virus of nasty proportions. Add this to the lack of sleep in the space household and I am DEAD. Do you hear me? D-E-D DEAD! (yes, old joke about a football player who…oh never mind, I meant to spell it that way) Luna’s 2 year molars are on the move and trying to kill me. Suddenly, she wants NOTHING to do with Dr. Jay. The hell with him, it’s Mommy mommmy moooooooooooooooommmmmmmmmmmmmmyyyyyyyyyy at 4:30 am. When Jay reported to the small minion of hell Luna that she was stuck with Daddy, her screamed turned to "I want a CAR RIDE. A CARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIDE" Sigh. I seriously feel like crap. I need more sleep but it ain’t happening in this lifetime. Please help me in not strangling this child. These damn molars have. got. to. come.in! No more causing pain and then sneaking back into her gums. COME. IN. DAMMIT.!
The sun has been being a royal pain in our ass lately. There is a huge sunspot group. This has released some energy in the form of X-ray flares. Sigh. The observatory shut down last night to protect itself from this. Lovely. It is good and the better news is that I tripled up on duty the last few weeks, so I am not on again until January. But the bad news is that a piece of my software failed last night and now I am fixing it.
Jay and I are hoping to skip out of work early to stop and talk to some people about a fireplace insert. I know I know, lazy, but think of it, flip on a switch and whoosh! a glowing fire straight from our natural gas lines with a higher efficiency of heating than our heater. At bedtime, a simple flick of the switch and we turn it off. No smoke in the house, no logs (and spiders) to carry into the house, no poking at the fire while sparks fly and burn your clothes…Ah….The cost is $$$, but it is a luxury that we would like to do.
I am also at a loss for what to do with my over energetic 4 year old. She is refusing to sit still at school during her dance class. We are taking her out in January. She just won’t listen to the step by step instructions for the ballet part. If it involves tumbling or gymnastics, she loves it, but not the dance part. She’s been complaining that it’s too hard. But that is not a reason to stop, I say. Lots of things in life are hard.
Daycare is also getting annoyed that she won’t sit still during nap time. Okay folks, you are forcing the poor kid to sit still for 45 minutes on a mat. She doesn’t nap. It’s hard! We don’t do an enforced quiet time on the weekends or Mondays… sigh…
I do want to send a thanks to all of those who commented, either via the blog or email, on the Christmas Goodness post. I really appreciated the different ideas!
