And the BLOG suffers

Well as you can see my blogging days have been slow at best. Chi is runing on the no sleep toddler program and it doesn't work so well for me. So my nights I try to catch up with e-mail and stuff, but it's nearly 1:30 by the time I get Chi down and even look at my to do computer list. So alas, here I am now. I've forgotten the really good stuff I"m sure. I need a computer literally built into my body. That way I could just save data and download it here at night. How nice would that be.

So we started Gymboree. Not sure what I think. The class seems really neat. Chi's first day held a look of anxiety and curiosity all mixed into one. When we left he cried, so we took that as a sign that he must have had a good time. Thursday and Friday we attended free play. I was assured that there would be other children at free play, and so I paid the extra money and took him. Thursday there was not a soul in the place but us, and Friday there were only a total of three. So, I'm a bit disapointed. I would like to see more faces for Chi to socialize with.

We've been on the potty training elevator. One day this week he went potty in the potty for the first time. YIPPIE! The next day, we were going to take a bath and so he was undressed in the bathroom. I asked him over and over if he would like to sit on the potty, to which he announced, NO No NO. So I dropped the subject. Five minutes later while waiting for the water to run my feet suddenly felt warm and wet. Lo and behold I had been peed on. That night he again went in the potty. That's been it on the potty front.

Chi's new favorite word is Cool. He say's it for everything. He has also picked up on saying good and they sound a lot alike. But he enterchanges them, so it's like blah blah blah coo*cool. Blah blah blah, gooood. LOL He's a hoot.

Since he hasn't been sleeping I've been pretty grumpy. So one day I was sick of playing with him. So I sent him off to play all by himself. He cried and threw a fit for a while. Then he went off to play. I saw him in the corner of my eye roaming about the living room, and heard his toys clanking, so I knew he was playing and in no danger. But I honestly didn't look right at him to see just what he was doing. Later that day, after a failed attempt at a nap and even more frustration I sat Chi down to watch television while I cleaned/laundry and did my hair. I was just so frustrated and tired. I managed to drop an entirely full can of air freshner on my toes, boy did that hurt. And things were just not going well. So I went to start cleaning and I came across this box of Mega Blocks track. The tracks and cars were all in the storage box, but they were a hodge podge of parts, put away in a very silly manner. I sort of cursed myself, or T for putting the toys away so dumbly. I mean, no the lid could not even fit and it all had to be done again. Then through my bad day I realized something. Earlier when I had sent Chi away he had gone and picked up his toys for me. I felt so bad, he's such a good boy and here I was being so mean to him. I missed watching him do that, and I missed praising him for a job well done. My day got better and I remembered that it's not his fault I'm tired and grumpy. So I shouldn't take it out on him.

The week has been alright I guess. We got a new webcam that Rocks the house, let me tell you. I also bought a new SLR camera for a great price on ebay. I can't wait to get it and start taking pics. I adore our digital, but I've always wanted a regular film camera.

I found a cool website with all sorts of people from my old college and high school. I got in touch with two girls from high school. It's neat to re-connect in my opinion.

The weekend doesn't look to hold any excitement. Tonight was very boring. T didn't feel good and Chi was a grumpy mess. Hopefully that is not what is to be expected from the rest of the weekend. I think T has a school assignment. I would like to stay on the downlow to save some money, but I always end up letting boredom get the best of me and spend the dough on something or another. Maybe we can just hit some parks, or go feed the ducks. The weather is supposed to be great.
