Jeez - I haven't had a lot of time to blog lately : - ( Sorry guys! GORGEOUS day here. WOW - I could get used to this. But - talk to me in 2 months and I will be bitching and moaning about the heat and humidity - HA! Paul is at a dinner that is honoring his Mom as Person of the Year. I couldn't get a sitter so the girls and I enjoyed a McDonalds dinner (ew) and had a relatively nice night. Paul is, I am sure, eating steak and potatoes - the lucky bastard! My Dad called me earlier - he is having a stress test done tomorrow and he will be calling me after that. Hopefully, things will be fine. We took away Olivia's pacifier ::sigh:: My poor baby. She has been asking for it for 2 days now. We planned out a "Bye Bye Patsy Party". She and I packed up the pacifiers in a little bag and set them aside for the "new baby" my sis in law is having in August. (NOTE - I am NOT giving away used pacifiers to my sis in law. That was just a ploy to fool my 2 year old) So - after we packed them up, I hugged her and told her she was SUCH a big girl and we would go to WalMart to buy a present for her to celebrate. That's where the PlayDoh (see yesterdays posts) came about. She loves PlayDoh - it must be tasty. Oh - she had another HUGE blue poop today too. God - talk about nasty! GAG! Anyway - the poor kid has been asking for her patsy (pacifier) every time she goes in to sleep (nap or bed time). I feel so frickin mean for taking it away but she has been chewing and pulling on it. Not good. It's time to break the habit. I wish we never started it but when she was so sick as a baby (due to her allergies and refluxing), it was the only damn thing that soothed her. Sheesh - now I am gonna cry. I am such a mean Mommy...
