It's been several day (like 3) since I've blogged! I've been busy planning Fin's first birthday party at sort of the last minute. I guess when it's the third child you're not as gung ho as you used to be ha ha. I invited a bunch of people but it was one of those strange occasions where most everybody had something else going on. So we just had a few people here but it was quite nice because I had totally forgotten to get disposable cups and I'm still washing dishes by hand from the remodel!
I made a delicious cheesecake (gluten free of course). I am not quite ready to post the recipe yet, it needs some tweaking.
I see Pax pushing the back side of his diaper around with a strange look on his face so I ask if he has "cacas" and he actually tells me the truth! Usually he says no and then proceeds to stick his hand and or fingers back there, as if he's suprised at what he finds and then comes to me with a poop smear. He also usually blames the poop/smell on Finley ha ha, it starts early! While Pete was building the dog's deck the other day he had manged to not only stick his finger in his dirty diaper but smear it all over his right leg, so let me get this right quick!.......And I'm back. He always has to look at the poop. Actually he wants to see everybody's poop, he squeals "let me see!!!!" over and over until you show him. He also likes to be closed up inside cabinets or boxes. He tells you "close it, close it!" I keep telling my mom I feel this is going to work itself into some sort of fetish or be a definite source of therapy later in life! ha ha ha
So I go to brush my teeth the other night and I had left my coffee cup on the bathroom counter and I see now that it is filled to the rim with some kind of blue stuff. I quicky realize it is my bath salts I keep in a jar on my counter. On closer inspection, I see they have added some vitamins they found floating around somewhere and since I smell EVERYTHING, I give the cup of blue stuff a whiff. I know the bath salts smell good, they have added water of course, but it smells like pee! UUghghgh So I take it to the kitchen to throw it out and decide to pour it out slowly into the garbage so I can inspect it. I am apparently a glutton for punishment and grossly curious. As I pour it out I notice all this white tube looking stuff which I realize is my new body lotion (great, I just got that) and then as I pour out the rest I see it is kind of yellow at the bottom. Of course I smell it (I have Sensory Processing Disorder so I cannot help it) and YEP, it's definitely pee pee, although I cannot begin to tell you how or why or from where they got it, beyond the obvious source. I'm glad to see that all the toys I have purchased are being put to good use! Instead, we have bath salts, vitamins, lotion and pee! Not a legitimate toy in sight.
I'm sitting here watching Fin and Pax play together, they are so cute (until they start fighting, then not really so much). By the way, she still has not even the promise of a tooth! I hope this means that her teeth are going to be really strong. This is what my dad tells me, but he also thinks he is actually emailing with the chick that plays Abby on NCIS!(that is an entire other blog I could be writing).
My husband's birthday is today. I guess we are doing what he usually does for me on my birthday, which is really nothing. He's not a really mushy type person and I'm okay with that, unless my hormones are out of whack, then it's hell to pay! ha ha Speaking of that, they are actually quite out of whack right now, so my OB/GYN is having my hormones checked. I'll be forty this year so it is not unheard of to start having perimenopause symptoms. The nightsweats and alternating crying/anger tell me I might be there! ha ha Let's see, we are waiting to find out why Fin cannot tolerate milk, but how do I title a blog with gluten free, dye free/aspartame free kids, lactose free baby, premenopausal mom with ocd/nervous tics & sensory issues, three cats, two dogs and the best neighbors in the world! I don't want to sound like I'm all negative! ha ha Actually I am not negative about any of it. I find all of it is an opportunity to learn everyday what my limits are (I'm working on not reaching them so quickly!) I pity my husband though! Sometimes when the chaos is in full swing and my hormones are crazy and I'm ranting about all of it, he just stays quiet and goes about his business. He should probably be blogging more than me. haha
Well until later, I feel one more cup of coffee beckoning.
