So, I haven't posted in ages, and I do mean ages. If you are wondering why, then I probably just need to remind you that I have an almost 2 year old child and a full time job. While this is just one of my "hobbies" and something I do in my "free time", it has been a low priority as of late. Also, since I only had one follower, I figured no one was going to miss me much if I took a break. I use quotes around free time and hobbies because that is what they are when you have a child this age and a job. They are "alleged" things that people say they do. They do not get done anymore, but were once I source of enjoyment or relaxation, or are what you wish you could do if someone wanted to watch your kid for a few days.
People call parenting a full time job but I call bullshit on them. I never had a job that followed me into both nights and weekends, kicked me in the face, poked me in the eyeball with a tiny fingernail while giggling, pooped on my living room floor and cost me so much damn money.
On the flipside, I also never had a job that gave me a warm tight knot in my throat and stomach when it gave me a hug, smiled at me, sang along with a song in my car or called me mama.
Yes, being a mommy is the best thing ever, but not right now.
My child has started what people call the "Terrible Twos". Something else I will call bullshit on. This started around 15 months. I don't see how 15 months and 2 got grouped together, but the tantrum this kid threw back then was like his way of saying "game on". He flails around, bucks his head backwards with no concern for what is behind him. I have mastered the art of avoidance here, but one of these days, I am pretty certain one of my insicors is going to end up in the kid's head. Suddenly, no one really wants to, or offers to, watch him. Now I have to dig deep to get a sitter for a few hours. Yes, the child is pure hellian. An absolute sweet angel when he is good, but when he isn't...well, Mr. W calls him Samhain(the demon name for Michael Meyers in Halloween) and I just come on out and call him demon.
Baby's latest food of the week.
While I won't deprive my baby of being a Jack O Lantern yet, I have to start with the types of food that now represent my baby being overdone. Here is a nice spotty brown banana. You can still eat it, but it ain't going to keep much longer.

What Mommy is craving now that summer is gone...
So long blue icee...I want some pie. Pumpkin pie completely drowned in Cool Whip topping. Just about any pie covered in Cool Whip sounds fabulous right now, so anyone who wants to bake this weekend, call the fat pregnant lady and share.
Cool toys from my childhood...
Far better than Legos, and from what I recall of their density, probably less dangerous to step on, were bristle blocks. I had to really think to remember what they were called, but I loved them. They stick together better than legos and give you a lot more "pegs". My guess would be they are probably easier to build with, but if memory serves, I also really enjoyed chewing on them!(not mentioned in the long list of applications and uses)
What Mommy is Craving Most Recently
So I really want wings and a beer, but my maternal instinct says to hang in there and it will be a lot better when I can have the beer and not have a roll of Tums for dessert. Instead, chocolate milk is right up my ally. Similar to a Tums, it coats the belly, but it tastes a whole hell of a lot better.
Baby's Fruit of the Week
Ok, so we are past due, and now the baby is just being referred to as the great pumpkin. I thought this picture would illustrate well enough. If he doesn't show soon, he will be more comparable to a ribbon winner at the Pumpkin Festival.
Days until baby wears out its welcome in my uterus...
