Is the name of my new MySpace profile song.
And I do believe that Seth loves it almost as much as he loved David's punky rendition of "Margaritaville".
Anytime I play it Seth goes nuts, dancing and bopping his little head all around. Yes, he has about as much rhythm as a little white Irish boy- but he couldn't help that. He had about a 50/50 chance of has some rhythm. Maybe there is still a chance.

Bad Ju Ju
Originally I thought David called her "Bad Choo Choo". I wondered why he was referring to the "16 year old" as a bad train.
In any case, she is a dangerous sort, I think. Apparently the fact that he's a married 34 year-old guy with two small children doesn't seem to phase her. Even the fact that I work at the same facility as she does.
She must be a complete idiot because even when I was 16( long, long ago) I knew better than to mess with married men. Besides, I didn't want an older guy with kids anyway-too much baggage.
But she's developed a crush on David. He's quite flattered but also a bit disturbed. It's making him feel uncomfortable to go to work when he knows she'll be there. He knows she could get him in trouble.
I hate to use the "j" word but perhaps that is what drove me to talk to his supervisor about it. Her behavior is absolutely not conducive to a professional work environment. Harmless flirting is one thing but I think she has gone beyond that into potentially harmful territory. I think this girl needs to put the brakes on this crush she calls love and start talking with guys her own age that aren't married to me.

He'll stand but he won't sit?
Only my child would be so backwards. Sean refuses to sit. Of course, If he's sitting supported by something he will do it. But he can't (won't) sit solo unsupported. But he's getting closer and closer to true crawling every day. He's quite proficient at the army crawl though.
Sean has to be involved in everything. So while Seth was bathing, Sean scooted up to the tub and lifted himself on his knees so he could peek over the edge. Apparently that wasn't good enough because he was able to pull up to a standing postion as he tried to put his hand in the water. He didn't stand for an excessive length of time but he did it again a couple times so it wasn't an isolation incident.
At least if he won't sit he'll be able to stand wherever he goes. Might make it difficult for him to drive though. And lets hope he doesn't break a leg one day. They don't make wheel chairs that accomodate the standing postion, he'd have to travel by stretcher.
Eh, maybe he'll get the hang of it eventually.

A doughnut with paint on it?!
Seth and I had bagel and cream cheese at dinner tonight. It's never a dull meal when he's around, I assure you! First off, while I was toasting the bagel he was singing to Sean, " a bagel, a bagel, a bagel!" Of course, Sean found this very hilarious.
Then while Seth was eating the bagel he decided that it looked like " a doughnut with paint on it".
After their baths they played in Sean's room and I thought they were cute enough to photograph for all eternity. It didn't work out like I expected. Of course, they were both very smiley when they saw the camera but not for the typical reasons. Seth wanted to take the camera so he could "click" pictures of Sean and Sean simply wanted to consume the camera. I had to photograph them from a standing postion so they couldn't get my camera.
Just another day iin my life. Pretty soon I will hop into bed and sleep a little so I can get up and take care of people all day again. At least I get paid for the first eight hours. But the boys are far more delightful than the cranky elderly people at work. But enough about my coworkers.
Speaking of cranky elderly people, David just got home from work. :) Seriously, I love him.

Why is Saturday night alright for fighting?
Because I rather like Saturday. I'd rather not fight. Today was a good one, as far as days go.
I had a good time with my boys. We were all in good moods so the day was quite pleasant. Usually someone is cranky-probably me- so it ruins the general happiness throughout the house. Seth was a good boy all day. Honestly, he did not do one thing to try to destroy the house in any way today. He played well with Sean ( They are so cute together!) and he even played happily alone while I cleaned a little bit and did laundry.
When Sean awoke from his afternoon nap Seth made sure to bring it to my attention. I told him I would get him in a couple minutes-it sounded like Sean was playing contentedly so I thought I would let him be for a few.
Seth insisted that he wanted to go in and play peek-a-boo with Sean. I told him to go ahead. So he goes in while I waited in the bedroom. Throught he monitor it sounded like they were playing happily. When I went in I saw that Seth had climbed into the crib with Sean and they were playing together. I told Seth to get out but couldn't help but smile as I said it.
It was too cute.

Yardwork-Dreyer style take 2 ( or My son is a cow)
I dragged the boys out to weed the yard again. I set Sean out on a blanket with some toys while Seth and I weeded. Sean didn't stay on the blanket long, he wanted to eat the grass and seemed to enjoy mouthfuls of dirt. I guess it's a good thing I don't use pesticides on my lawn. No one in their right mind could accuse me of that( Have you SEEN my lawn?)
Inside the house he scoots himself toward the cat food bowl quite frequently. Why-oh-why does he want to eat cat food so badly? If I remember correctly, and it's possible that I am incorrect, Seth preferred to roll the cat food pieces across the floor rather than eat them.
My kids are strange.
Today Seth, Sean and I were playing in Seth's room when we heard some sirens. Seth immediately got all excited and I was able to pick him up just in time to see the fire truck and ambulance go by on the street behind our house. An hour later we see THREE state troopers across the street -they remained there for hours! According to our next door neighbor, the guy across the street got into a domestic dispute with his wife or girlfriend and he got into his big blue SUV to leave and she got in front of the truck...I think you know where this is going. He ran her over. Apparently they had to land a helicopter in the local church parking lot so they could fly her out to a trauma center. I'm guessing Tampa.
Unfortunately we had no clue that the fire truck and ambulance were right across the street from us after they went by the rear of our house. Seth would have liked to see the fire truck up close. But at the same time I wouldn't want him to have seen the lady since I am sure she was badly bloodied and all.
I guess my putting my hand through a window isn't half as bad as running over your spouse and mother to your children. Yikes, I don't feel as bad now.

I love Dayquil
I did a double Friday and then on Monday. Fortunately I had the weekend in between off because I had a nasty cold. It sucked big time, but I was determined not to call off so I wouldn't lose my overtime. Physically I did not feel too poorly. I just had a slight cough and a snotty nose.
Saturday was David and I's 6th anniversary. I know,I know..why would anyone put up with me for 6 long years. I have no clue. He must be a glutton for punishment. In any case, I appreciate him sticking around. He's really awesome and I have it made. He makes dinner in the evening, watches the boys in the day and even washes the dishes and makes the beds while I am working.
I love him.
Heather came over to watch the boys while we went to Visani to eat. We had a lovely meal and then watched a comedy show. I have seen funnier comedians, but I also was feeling lousy that day so that may have affected my sense of humor somewhat. In my present state of health, perhaps it would have been funnier.
Sunday we went to a barbecue at my dad's house. My whole family was there and we had a great time. My dad seemed to really enjoy little Sean. I kept offering to take him but Dad was managing fine with him. Sean was quite happy and content with good ol' grandpa. They even rocked together for awhile and the little guy fell asleep sitting on Dad's lap. It was so cute, I only wish I had a camera to get a picture of the two of them.
I stopped at the pharmacy with the boys and didn't realize until I got home that I didn't get the "non-drowsy" cold medicine so my brother and his girlfriend were kind enough to bring me some so I didn't have to drag the boys to the store again. they were sinply too much the first time. Note to self- when shopping for cold medicine,next time go solo.
David and I dyed our hair last night and mine came out awful! I don't know if the highlights I had done in may were especially resistant to the hair dye or what but my hair is a couple different colors, and not in a cool looking way. Next week I will get more hair dye and try again. David's looks good. It's like a dark auburn color. Mine is a nice red near the roots but many of the highlighted streaks didn't even take so I still have alot of blond. Bleh.
