passing the time during someones nap

1.  No I do not feel "old" just because I would like a new set of dishes. And new towels.  And a new set of pots and pans.

I'm 31.  Asking for a Barbie doll may be a tad sill, no?

2.  My husbands birthday is on 9/11.  I think we had a good time anyways.  This would be the moment where I link in a picture.  But, well, still waiting for the not so GEEK SQUAD to send my camera back to me.  Fuckers.

3.  I love putting lines through text.  It's fucking awesome.

4.  Pic moments not captured: Milo drinking from the syrup bottle.  Milo trying to drink from the Arizona Green Tea jug while climbing into a dresser drawer.  Intimate fun moments with my boyfriend husband.

Breaks over, back to work...

Questions from responsive readers

Dear Easy Lynsey,
Or whatever you’re calling yourself these days. Though I appreciate that you are still posting regularly, where are the most current of pictures re: Milo? You know, the ones you are ALWAYS taking at the most mundane inspiring of occasion? Then passing them off as the latest and greatest of amazing that your son is doing? But I’m sure it’s one of those “you had to be there” to appreciate the cuteness. I’m still waiting for some Wal-mart pics. You’re a SAHM. I know you’re frequenting Wal-mart. And often.
Signed,
Faithful follower


Dear Gentle Reader,
I love saying ‘gentle reader.’ I knocked it off from Miss Manners. Miss “panties in a twitch” Manners.

Funny you should mention Wal-mart. Because I was SO THERE today. Only because their baby food is WAY cheaper than the Commissary, Giant, and Food Lion. Not put together though. That would be ridiculous. YES, I'm feeding my child stage 3 baby food. STILL. Yes, he is considered a toddler and could easily move up and on. But the point is is that he is eatting, superbalanced foods. He is a tad slow to progress to more adult-like foods. There are exceptions. Like, Sunday when he ate the shit out of some curry lamb. Plus, I'm super lazy. Opening a jar is easy. I like easy. I do easy.

But the funny part of my day was that after I left Wal-mart, with a shopping cart full of STAGE 3 SUPERFOODS and WHOLE MILK, baby in tow, I so went straight down the sidewalk to Giant. Because Wal-mart doesn't have bananas. Mama needs bananas.

Oh, yes, I perused the aisles of a Giant in a Wal-mart shopping cart. Which, by the way, is way bigger than the standard Giant shopping cart.

I felt like a badass, fer sure...

Especially when I returned the cart to the Giant cart returner thing. Oh, hell yeah.

Ok. Enough of that.

I, too, am mourning the loss of my camera that takes all of those amazingly accurate cuteness-of-the-cute pics. My son, though not quite growing facial hair, is growing by leaps and bounds. He is continuing with my new favorite milestone: separation anxiety. I can’t wait to show you those pics of me waving bye-bye in a nauseatingly cheerful -nothing is wrong- kind of way while the babe bangs on the door, smashing his face on the glass in a most unflattering and pathetic way all the while whining/screaming bouncing snot across the face goblet tears kinda way.

Oh, he so cute….
Faithful and malnourished,
LynZ


Dear Mrs. Easy,
Though I thank you for the dissertation on the excitement of your post holiday Tuesday, you did not answer the question. Where are the pics?
Signed,
Faithful follower


Dear Stalker,
Please check your underwear. Ahem…thanks for being a faithful follower. But the cuteness that is, decided to take his other milestone of picking up and throwing objects across the room to a whole new level. I believe the experts call it “cause and effect.” I assume you are a parent as well. Otherwise my blog may be excruciatingly boring and repetitive not as interesting to you. But, never-you-mind plastic shiny toys. Never-you-mind the age appropriate blocks and rubber spatulas. Oh no, expensive electronics are the way to go. Insert my camera, stage left. Take a bow, my camera, exit stage right.

The underage, stoned and incompetent fine employees of Best Buy informed me that due to my smart choice of buying the overpriced but necessary because electronics are made to be sold, not actually used for more than a year before they take a big shit insurance plan thingy, that the camera will be fixed and mailed back to me by 9/14/09.

Perhaps, then I will be smarter, wiser, more careful and less drunk than to let my camera fall haphazardly into the chubby little hands of my darling young one.

Signed,
Lyn “I’m out of Chardonney” Easy

words of encouragment

Dear husb,
on your way home can you pick up diapers? (and wine)
'tanks,
me


Dear husb,
ok, we don't really need wine. just thought you'd might want a glass during dinner.
'tanks,
me


Dear husb,
ok fine. It's not you, it's me. I would like some wine.
love you and 'tanks,
me


Dear husb,
I've got a freakin' headache. Not sure if it's from the siren that came from your son's room at 11pm, 1am and then again at 5am last night/this morning. I think the 7 iced coffee's with a lb or 2 of sugar is making me twitchy. Wait a minute, maybe my period is going to start. Let me get back to you.
love,
me


Dear husb,
why do you shudder when I bring up my period? Weren't you the one who was in the room, holding my hand telling me to "push, baby, push, c'mon you can do it!!" ?? And were you not there when I delivered the 6 pounder? and then the goddamn PLACENTA??!!?? And even when you said "no, I don't think I want to cut the cord." And I was all, "the hell you ARE mother F*ck*r!! That's the LEAST you can DO while I'M Giving MOther F*ckin' BIRTH oUT of my VAGINA!!"

and then later you were all, "that was pretty cool."

Please pick up some wine and maybe a bottle of ibuprofen. Oh yeah, and diapers.
love,
me


Dear husb,
Size 4 diapers. Don't you know what size your son wears?? YES, I'm sure he's your son. Just as much as I'm SURE I'm your WIFE.

Oh, and BTW our wedding anniversary is coming up. I HOPE YOU'RE THINKING OF SOMETHING AWESOME TO BUY ME. Because I work very HARD at being your AWESOME WIFE. Now excuse me as I go fold your boxers and iron your uniform.
love,
me


Dear husb,
ok. we both know I was totally kidding about the ironing of the uniform comment. Thought I would lighten the mood.

hope I didn't get your hopes up. but then again, I'm sure you're used to that, too.

You know, I probably don't need any wine tonight. I'm pretty tired. In fact, let's make it an early night. mmmmmkay?
love,
me

ps We still need diapers though. Size 4.

a series of notes too big for a post-it

Dear Milo,
I know I shouldn't pee in front of you, but it's going to happen. Mostly because you can't handle a shut door. Unless you, yourself, are shutting it. It's a fantastic game you play with yourself. Open, shut, turn knob, swing door between hands, oh so freakin' fun, shut, open, and again.

oh yeah, peeing...

so I flush the toilet, stand up and who comes rushing in with a toy in hand? oh I don't know...

and who decides to drop the toy into the toilet while it's flushing? oh I don't know....

and who -despite a plunger and a wire coat hanger (I SAID NO WIRE HANGERS!!) cannot dislodge said toy?

For future reference rising water in a toilet is not cool.

love,
mama

Dear Milo,
tonight I decided to invite a couple of friends over for dinner and girl convo/playdate for you and your friend Parker. At one point during the evening you find it funny to yell in your friend Parkers face and then promptly snatch his sippy cup out of his mouth.

you then happily suck away on the sippy cup as if it belongs to you. As if you don't have plenty of sippy cups of your own. As if you don't prefer the bottle. As if it's going to take many more months to wean you from that damn bottle. As if I'm not sure if it's me or you who is having a hard time bottle weaning. wait...what??

Milo, this is how syphilis is spread. Knock it off.

love,
mama


Dear Milo,
speaking of syphilis, you had your first kiss today. Let me clarify. Your first man kiss.

So during said playdate/ladies night in, you and your friend Parker were playing quite nicely on the floor. Parker was taking a moment, laying down on his back. You then, very quickly, bent down and put your forehead to his and then sweetly mashed lips.

Nobody in the room missed this moment. Oh I wish my camera had caught this sight!! But, because I'm a parent, and I have to parent you on what is appropriate (please hold your laughter) I have to inform you on the concept of personal space.

Next time, please ask your intended if they have syphilis.

love,
mama
