his it is just a machine take a nap i dare you now who did i sit next to in 9 th grade english what should i make for dinner before i knew it the headphones were on the music was started xpn w00t and i was given instructions the first bit was six minutes long the next thing i knew she was starting the next round and i must have dozed off no really i did the loud white noise was actually soothing i had my head turned to the side to see out of the machine and my arms were hanging out anyway my feet were also out of the machine so it wasn t so bad i just ignored the fact that my hips were restrained concentrated on the wall next to me and watched the technician again until must have dozed off again test is over i was being rolled out of the machine of course i was groggy and tired but it was over over done i should have the results in two days my complaint with these tests is that they know how uncomfortable people are they know it is scary and yet no one has bothered to come up with a better way to get this info i mean they did it on star trek c mon people gene gave us great ideas on that show if we can invent a door that says schweeeee then we can make a body scan like bones tricorder right right my boys are lucky the get versid squirted up their noses when they get mris posted by domestic goddess at 11 37 am 3 comments labels mj wednesday april 25 2007 oh linen how i love thee my name is m j and i am a recovering linen addict i cannot help myself i love linen i love the way it feels on my body you know being a natural fiber and all i know it wrinkles easily but that is part of the beauty of it no one expects you to be wrinkle free in linen and i rarely iron it in a store i can feel the linen vibe three aisles away i can sense it i can spot it i have to have it these days linen comes in many fine colors not just the drab earth tones of yesteryear i have found purple fuschi a and canary linen i kid you not yeah it hurt my eyes too i do not know why anyone would consider owning this colors in the past two weeks i have found affordable and super cute linen at tarzhay and on my favorite cheapo haunts tarzhay had the cutest linen skirts and this weekend they were on the sale rack meaning i got them for 40 off i wore said linen skirt to church with cute little brown mary jane type heels and a nice short sleeved sweater i felt so trendy the linen you find these days is softer easier to wear it is washable which means it doesn t fall apart the first time you wash it just the second or third and who the heck would take linen to a drycleaner certainly not moi not since i invested in dryel which does not work by the way i often use the handwash cycle on my new fangled washing machine can you believe the irony in a hand washing cycle on your automatic washing machine oh yes it exists hey i just said irony iron y get it do ya huh well i thought it was ironic there i go again iron ic hahahahahaha i m killing me here hahahahaha ahem take a look at my closet please don t i have a whole skirt rack of linen skirts another one of linen pants i even own linen shorts and i do not typically wear shorts i have a few linen shirts that i rarely wear i even have wait for it a linen bathrobe yes you heard that correctly no linen underwear though aren t you glad you asked you didn t well then moving right along so i am obsessed with linen i love easter when you can traditionally wear linen and white shoes again this year i took a walk on the dangerous side and wore lined linen dress pants on gasp palm sunday with off white shoes i know i know fashion faux pas since when have i been fashionable what s the big deal about linen you can find out everything you want to know but were afraid to ask here posted by domestic goddess at 8 06 am 2 comments labels mj rambling thoughts reviews tuesday april 24 2007 bug boy can be charming bug boy would do anything to play video games i am not kidding on this one we can write a list of chores as long as his arm and he does them without complaint and sometimes we reward him with a turn on playstation he is rarely allowed to play on a school day heck he never plays before school and only once in a while plays in the evenings on weekends we stay busy the grand total for the week seven days is somewhere in the vicinity of one to two hours maximum in honor of national kill yer tv week i ve decided that it will all be off minus the computer he is not allowed to play the computer but it is on this really is not all that difficult the boys are not television junkies the watch maybe a total of an hour of the idiot box per week they are extremely active boys so a certain amount of outdoor time or basement trampoline and playtime on rainy days is necessary for all of our nerves to avoid being frayed this week for some strange reason bug boy has been relentless on his quest to play video games he has always been obsessed with electronical devices hallmark of asds but this goes beyond the usual eating sleeping and breathing he is sneaking around he is saying and doing anything to be allowed time he even wants to cash in his reward tickets for extra video game time here is our conversation from yesterday morning before school bug boy mooooooom pleeeeease please can i play video games i ll turn them off on time i promise whining the entire time me no bug boy we ve talked about this we ve also talked about the way you are asking me bug boy oh then may i please play video games me no you know the rules you need to stop asking the rule is that there are no video games on school days and never before school never now go and get dressed bug boy pouts and hangs his head he stomps up to his room disappears for twenty minutes and comes back down fully dressed he has also brushed his teeth washed his hands combed his hair washed his face and put his shoes on this is typically something that takes us over an hour with five prompts and a check off list to do proof that he can do it when he is motivated enough bug boy ok mom i m ready i have tons of time to play now hmmmm what can i do me bug boy i am glad you are dressed and ready but you are not playing video games you know the rules why don t you get out a library book and read it with me or get your lincoln logs out bug boy mom you are soooooo pretty you are pretty mom mom i like your hair today now may i please play playstation this is coincidentally the first time my son has ever told me i am pretty which i told him i appreciated and then i told him he would not play playstation i am a heartless woman this morning we had to drag ourselves out of bed hitting the snooze several times who invented that i want to talk to that person while we were busy showering dressing ironing etc bug boy must have decided to sneak downstairs and play you guessed it video games we both tip toed down when we went in to wake him and we was not in bed the look on his face is one that i will never forget when we confronted him he knew he was caught he also said sorry he also asked if he could just play for a few minutes he also told us we looked nice today sigh i know kids sneak i know kids lie i also know they misbehave but sometimes it is more difficult to get through to bug boy even though he could recite a list of rules verbatim he still stretches or disregards them when he sees fit that is the egocentric thinking that he possesses that four year old mindset you know the one where they are the most important person in the universe and therefore whatever they think is good and appropriate must be the correct viewpoint let s just say for the sake of argument that the powers that be estimate bug boy s emotional and social skills to be that of a four year old at the age of six this does make things difficult i must remember that i have to explain to a very intelligent six year old in a way that makes sense to a four year old with consequences appropriate for his age so no video games in fact he has lost them this weekend i am happy since i don t have to hear the music for star wars lego for a while killing the zombie machine is not so hard to do totally off topic we received bugaboo s progress report yesterday for the first time in eighteen months of early intervention our child has made progress i mean i know he has made progress but we are talking real measurable progress towards his iep goals this is a grand thing indeed bugaboo has had plenty of regression and difficulties this past year the report is the best thing since sliced bread in my opinion he has mastered or possesses over half of his goals wooohoooo posted by domestic goddess at 7 41 am 1 comment labels bugaboo rambling thoughts monday april 23 2007 sleepy guys the weekend was glorious warm weather fun outside plenty of playing and plenty of things on the honey do list finished we now have bunk beds in bug boy s room and mulch around our playset the house is relatively neat except for the oft untidy basement playroom but that is nothing new minus the floor which looks like a protest against martha stewart the boys played hard this weekend they were filthy dirty covered in mulch and grass the sunblock seems to be a dirt magnet my tub has rings folks i kid you not we thought that since they spent the majority of their time outside this weekend climbing running riding bikes playing with friends pulling wagons and just generally being kids they would become exhausted by bedtime n o t we thought a warm bath and a good meal in their bellies would be the catalyst for getting them to sleep soundly w r o n g for some odd reason it was nearly impossible to convince them that the day was done and the mommy and the daddy were tired all three evenings this weekend were a chore they were literally bouncing off the walls the fact that it is still light out when they are crawling under the covers does not help our slumber cause since they are up in the wee hours with the roosters and sparrows and rabbits and the squirrels eating my trash they are not getting much sleep in fact we aren t getting much sleep and who is more important that s right me if momma ain t happy ain t nobody happy if i do not receive the required not desired required let s be honest here amount of sleep i do not function at all add in the cold that has lingered for a month the second round of antibiotics the muscle relaxant for my current back issues and it all makes for one tired momma eight hours i need eight hours i managed to make it through the infant years because bug boy sleep every two hours and so did momma bugaboo was one of those dreamy babies who slept seven hours his first night home and kept that up until toddlerhood when we first suspected the seizures even still he sleeps solidly through the night these days rarely waking when he does stir it is for a mere moment and he drifts blissfully back into slumber wrapped in momma s arms with his little feet tucked between my knees the past three nights i figured out because i am a math tutor and i am good at this stuff that they have each received a whopping 8 5 hours of sleep a night since it takes me over an hour to get through my routine at night picking up the floors and finishing chores that leaves me with about seven hours of sleep this is the mj version of math we are talking about if you are lost i am often up before them to start breakfast or hop in the shower 8 5 hours is not enough for these active boys i mean some boys can function on that my children cannot they are beyond reasoning with super cranky puffy eyed whining and miserable every little thing is a major ordeal here are some examples since our niece was with us saturday evening and we did manual labor for twelve hours we decided to go our for pizza bugaboo normally does well at this local family friendly pizza joint that we frequent at five in the evening when kids are hungry the place is dead bugaboo even sits most times but not this time he insisted on being in the lobby area where the take out customers wait for their food and wanted to peruse the soda and chip section he does not drink soda just molests pepsi bottles he then found a brand of chips he recognized because he is so picky that he can distinguish between brands of food and drinks and would not give up to get him to return to the table i handed him a small blue bag of chips he seemed satisfied we got to the table he had a meltdown in the booth luckily there were only two little old ladies giving me the hairy eyeball that evening i may have flipped them the bird he dragged me back to the chips and sat and felt up the bags after picking up three or four and hurling them behind his back he finally found the color bag he wanted red never mind that he has never in his life had a ruffled potato chip tonight he was going to open that red bag at all costs and we did upon returning to the table he parked himself on teh booth bench reclining with his chips i could not move him i ended up sitting at the end of the table on a chair at least he was quiet until he climbed under the table and ate things off of the floor things we did not order ewwwwww we go to tjs every week sometimes more because i am addicted to that place there is this great guy there who makes balloon animals for the kids and always remembers their names bug boy loves to go in with me while darling stays in the car with bugaboo because bugaboo hates to food shop and loves getting a balloon animal or light saber whatever is being twisted that day we arrived at home and it was nearly bed time so bug boy put the animal down in order to get ready for bed he put it down on the floor we have a dog you know with claws yup let s just say that a three hour bedtime battle ensued he could not go to bed without a balloon animal it was important he would never fall asleep without it he is staying up all night all night he was never going to bed again we had to drive right back to tj s more examples bugaboo insisting on being barefoot with no pants but had to have his winter coat on in 80 degree weather bug boy wanting to wear flip flops to church bug boy sneaking binoculars into church and was surprised at my reaction bugaboo climbing up and bringing me every single one of his clean empty cups from the cabinet when i told him he couldn t have more juice bug boy wanting chocolate chip pancakes for dinner cold bugaboo wanting m ms for dinner it got better and better all weekend so you see they can be a wee bit inflexible when they are tired who am i kidding they are always this inflexible i just think it is magnified to a certain degree when they are exhausted and when momma is exhausted it is even more fun in chez bug boys can we
