Teatopia

Bad Blogger

Oh my gosh. I've been such a bad blogger lately. Let's see...

First of all, Olivia has been fussy and feverish. I can't tell if it's from her shots or from teething, but either way, she's not happy. :-( But in spite of not feeling well, she's the cutest thing and always makes me laugh! Today, she pulled out tissue after tissue from the box, holding each one to her nose and blowing before pulling out the next one. She gets the concept of blowing, but she doesn't blow hard enough to get anything out, just to make the sound. So funny! She also is absoltely obsessed with phones. She now says "hello" and holds just about everything up to her ear.

Yesterday, we had nursery duty at church. There were 7 babies, 5 of them were screaming for the longest time. I thought I was going to go nuts. Olivia was crying out of jealousy I think because she saw me comforting the other babies, and naturally, I cared most about comforting her! Finally, three of the moms came and got their kids, so we were left with four. A much more managable number! You know, I used to think I loved all babies so much and I thought I could change any of them or wipe any of their noses. I'm beginning to think that's not true. I still love babies, but I really don't like changing other kids' poop (and boy did I yesterday! So did James. Go him!) and I had snot on my shirt and in my hair. Yuck! But with Olivia, or another baby I know (like MF's baby), I really wouldn't care. Olivia decided she'd join the poop club and had a blow out all over her new mongramed bloomers. I'll have to post a pic later!

Speaking of pics, I know, I know! Hair pictures! I haven't picked up a camera in days. I will take one though. Things have just been hard between Olivia not feeling well and James being gone a lot lately. It's crunch time for him because he is finishing up grad school (only a few weeks left this summer) and he's been so busy! We are really proud of him though. He was nominated for an elite honors society and we attended the initiation yesterday. My mom had to stand outside with poor Olivia since she was so fussy!

I feel like all I've been doing is comforting O and baking. Saturday, I baked a butterscotch pound cake and oh my freaking goodness! It was so good! Then, I had to bake cookies last night for this American Cancer Society bake sale, and then tonight, two dozen cupcakes for a moms's group thing. Not an easy task with Olivia, so my mom helped watch her. Speaking of my moms' group, there's been some petty stuff going on the past few days. Our message board is filled with nasty drama. It feels like high school again. I decided to stay out of it, but the more it goes on, the more I want to tell them to have some class! Ugh. It's hard to be the bigger person and I must say, our organizer is handling it with class and style. Some of the beef is with her, and she hasn't said anything nasty. I just hate the women can be so petty. Men don't seem to get like that. Some of these moms are acting like children, when we're supposed to be the parents here!

Off to catch up on my blog reading before bedtime. I'm so tired!

But first, something to make you laugh!

You can make one here!
