Kitty Litter Cake
I’ve never eaten a Kitty Litter Cake before and was actually really grossed out the first time I saw a picture of one. Jeremy shared a picture of one with his friends and work and they really wanted to try one. Sunday morning Jeremy spent the evening grossing ourselves out by making one. It looked truly disgusting. Jeremy took it in to work the next day and nobody wanted to touch it, at first. By lunchtime they decided to give it a try and ended up eating half the cake. There are only four people in the office! Jeremy brought it home that night and it really was good!!
My Big Girl
Emily is saying sentences now. It seems like overnight but suddenly Emily is really talking to me. Her first sentence was “I don’t want to!!” Of course that would be the first real sentence from a toddler. My favorite sentence so far this week, “I’ll kiss YOU now.” That one melted my heart! Today we joined Jeremy and his friends for lunch and she was so well behaved. I was really proud of her because it was a last minute decision and during her naptime. When the waitress came by to ask how we were doing Emily told her, “I’m Happy!!!”
Emily’s memory really amazes me. Yesterday a commercial came on tv that I always thought was funny but hadn’t seen in a while. I had a good laugh watching it and commented that I thought it was funny. This morning Emily was starting to run down the hall when the same commercial came on. She stopped dead in her tracks, came over to watch the commercial, began a forced laugh and said, “That’s so funny.” Then she left the room to do what she had originally planned to do. It seems like she remembers everything. If I show her how to do something once she remembers exactly what I showed her every time after that. Sometimes I have to be careful that I don’t do something I’m not willing to do every day or I’m in trouble.
My Part Time Job
I have the feeling that I won’t have my part time job for much longer. I’m really kind of sad about not being able to have those 2 mornings a week to do something for me. Jeremy has to go to the office everyday because they are so busy working on their project to make money. My mom isn’t always available to watch Emily because she works too and her schedule rotates weekly. When I took the job I knew that it was just temporary because the school year is ending and they eventually want a secretary that can be there full time. I’ll most likely work a few more weeks and then be done. I’m going to miss seeing my friends on a regular basis. Oh well, couldn’t last forever I guess.
Sailing Class
It’s official. Jeremy and I are registered for our first sailing class. We received our confirmation in the mail. I cannot wait for the first class! Jeremy is reading a bunch of books and talking about people who sell their homes and just said around the world the rest of their lives, while homeschooling their children. I really hope he’s just kind of thinking out loud because there is NO WAY I would be willing to do that. To begin with, we don’t even own a house to sell, haha. I guess that will be my first argument against the idea. I would be open to a few weeks at sea, but only if we have taken every course available. Then I’d probably worry about being knocked over by a whale.
I think that is a big problem of mine. I have a sense of adventure, but at the same time I worry about every possible bad scenario that could happen. The last time we went on a fishing trip Jeremy wanted to go for a hike into the mountains. I was all for it until I saw signs of bear sightings. HIKE ENDED. I’d love to go camping, but I’m afraid of some psycho attacking me in the middle of the night. The list could go on and on. I think I can blame my mother for all of this. From day one I remember her telling me, “Be aware and quick like a little bunny, there is danger everywhere.” What kind of a message is that? I’m definitely going to have to figure out a way to make Emily aware of her surroundings but not afraid for some adventure.
Comedy
Jeremy is watching Eddie Izzard on tv. He’s laughing hard enough that I think I’ll join him :)
I got around to making the beginnings of a webpage for Emily. Here’s the link…
