Fun Fact Friday!!

* My goal (spoken only to myself) was to try to write and post here at least three times a week.

* Um. You can see it's not going that well.

* I am decidedly best being a not-too-busy person.  When I am not too busy, I seem to have less overall (background) anxiety and am more productive.  When I have loads to do in a week, it seems that I become slightly *detached* and find myself wandering aimlessly, forgetting why I'm wandering in the first place.

* While we were riding in her car the other day, I was remarking to The Little Sister how this pregnancy, I don't feel quite as stupid as I was for the last one.

* Directly after making that comment, we discovered that I, uh, had forgotten to belt The Nephew into his car seat, requiring a [Chinese Fire-Drill] red-light seat-jump for emergency restraining purposes.

* About two days after that, The Man called me into the kitchen to have the following exchange:

The Man: 'Open that cabinet, there.'

Me: 'Which one?'

The Man: 'The one where we keep the glasses.  I just want to see what's going on in there.'

Me: '----' (suspicious)

Me: 'Is something going to jump out at me?'

The Man: 'Open the cabinet.'

Me: (Opens the cabinet.  And finds the carton of JUICE that I just used, tucked neatly into the corner. WTF?)

* In our house, all things being equal, if you find a container of juice stored neatly in the cabinet where we keep the glasses, you would be so much safer, odds-wise, to bet that The Man was the culprit.  Thus the recurring statement that he makes, 'I swear. Pregnancy turns you into me.'

* Have I not gone on and on in at least ONE post SOMEWHERE about The Man's [undiagnosed ADD] attention issues?  I thought that I wrote one about the [litany] list of questions that I ask him every morning before he leaves the house.  I have tried searching my own archives and I can't find it.

* My kid is apparently in training, though.  When I told her two days ago that Daddy was getting ready to go to work, I DOUBLE-SWEAR, this was her response:

'Daddy have his phone?  Daddy have his lunch?'

BAAAA HA HA HAAA!

* I'll keep you posted about The Party.  Because I know that you CARE about the Sesame Extravaganza.

Yesterday, when meeting a new babysitter, Rabbit offered her a drink and when the sitter took it, Rabbit raised her own drink and said, as clear as day, "Cheers!"

It was both funny and embarrassing at the same time.

My pregnancy has DEFINITELY made me stupider (is that a word?) as well. Sadly I'm the one in the house with the ADD that can't take the meds for it during pregnancy, so all those reminders are for me :)

We started the routine every morning. Daddy kisses M goodbye, daddy kisses momma goodbye. Now after he gives her hugs and kisses she demands we kiss.

Kid's pick up on all kinds of stuff and it is funny.

We've had the exact same juice in the cabinet moment in this house.

Actually, yesterday I found the salad dressing in the sink and my dirty bowl in the fridge. No lies. And I'm not even pregnant, so I don't even have a stupid excuse.

I don't remember ever reading about The Man's attention issues.

My husband sometimes puts the ice cream away in the fridge. Then I get to find a huge sticky puddle in the fridge the next morning.

It's not that you're less stupid this pregnancy, it's just that you're too distracted to notice...
