Busy, Busy, Busy
What a busy weekend! Friday night I went shopping for clothes for MC and myself for Sunday dinner. We were pretty successful and I bought a nice outfit for myself.. Luckily I’ll be wearing that when Scott and I go out for anniversary dinner…even though our anniversary is today we knew we’d be too busy this weekend to enjoy a nice relaxing dinner so we postponed until this Friday.
Saturday we went to the organic farm we have a food share with. They invited everyone out to the farm for a bbq. Food was good and MC had loads of fun walking around the very, very long driveway. There were some puppies and a meow there. MC saw for the very first time…some chickens. Which he promptly decided were ducks, not chickens…I figured that was close enough. We left as the mosquitoes came out looking to dine.
Sunday we had dinner at the club. That was after the mother of all tantrums, not sure why changing his clothes set him off but it did. After a sweaty struggle I left him in pants and his shirt and we waited to put his shoes and socks on. Phase 1 complete…in car…driving…with a good chance we’d be on time. We parked and Scott and I each took a foot to sock and shoe…MC decided not so much, thanks anyway. Phase 2 incomplete and no longer caring. MC was now in a bad, bad mood. He was probably hungry and he wasn’t very sociable when everyone arrived. He did actually start to eat the bread that came, after refusing the multitude of snacks we brought with us…funny guy eh. After getting some food he was finally able to sit in his chair and do a little chatting. Phase 3 complete.
Once he ate his dinner he decided that he was DONE…FINISHED…LET’S GO! So rather than disturbing everyone else we opted to leave before he had another melt down.
Ugh. This is why we don’t take him to sit down places to eat. Stressful.

Goodmorning Sun, Happy Morning Everyone
Dear MC,
Your mommy is not a morning person. Up until now you have obliged me by sleeping in, I appreciate this. So if you could please explain what is going on right now I’d really like to know how we can go back to our 8am sleep in.
And I can hear you in my room through the monitor, there is really no need to shout PUPPY PUPPY PUPPY at high decibels. Trust me, I know you are there.
If you’re going to wake up early, you can help me out by being in a good mood. Feel free to leave the cranky self behind. If you really must be cranky please feel free to make me my coffee in the morning, it’s not hard…daddy will show you.
That’s all,
Your Mommy (So not a morning person)

Brain Is Melting
It’s hot. Stepping outside was like being slapped in the face with a soggy wool blanket, disgusting and hot. In spite of that we did go outside to dig around in the sandbox until I just couldn’t stand it anymore. Of course you can guess what happened when I made this decision by myself without the input of MC…oh yes total and complete meltdown. He sat on the floor all forlorn with snot running down his sandy chin at the injustice of it all. He went to the only place he could find comfort…under the kitchen table. Poor, poor baby.
Lunch was delayed as he was far too busy protesting his lack of input.
I patiently *cough cough* waited for the protest to end. While waiting Merlin stole MC’s sandwich off of the table. Murphy’s Law would indicate that this would be the time that MC would cease all protesting because he was hungry.
Lunch delayed to repeat the sandwich making process.
Second meltdown achieved for not getting lunch RIGHT NOW.
More waiting.
Lunch eaten, happy MC makes his return.
TGIF
