Big Boy Food!

Micah had his first "big boy" food today! Rice cereal and prune juice. Yum yum!

He did really well with it!

So cute!

We went to dinner with Emily and her sister and fiance for dinner, and then to her SIL's house for cake! So fun and yummy cake too! 

Well said.

I'm not complaining, I am observing. - Lindsay to Mrs. Tupy on a youth retreat circa 2004

I thought this quote from babyonbored.blogspot.com  was funny:

o, I'm going to relax. But that doesn't mean I will stop constantly complaining - because complaining is almost like my calling card. I do it extremely well, possibly because I've been practicing since I was still in diapers. Complaining, if done right, can be fun, harmless and cathartic. In fact, I don't get on well with Pollyannas. If you can't find something to complain about, you aren't trying hard enough. Maybe there are some who find it irritating to be around someone who complains a lot. I find it irritating to be around people who try to find the upside to every single fucking situation. Listen, I may be exaggerating a bit. I don't constantly complain. I just like to find the flaws and point them out in what I think is an amusing way. On the flip side, I'm quite forgiving of a lot of things like bad service in a restaurant, long lines at the post office and pharmacists who won't refill my Xanax because it's two days too early. These things come with the territory of life. Puppet shows where the performers spend 20 minutes telling the kids they must remain quiet and seated at all times, bad movies, many of my neighbors, circuses in general, parades, contractors, my deadline, the fact that it's tough to get a good bagel in LA these are things I never tire of complaining about.

$236

I worked full time for one month. After taxes and paying Micah's tuition my check amounted to $236. Awesomeness. Thats roughly $59 a week, or $11.80 a day, or $1.46 an hour.

needless to say, I put in my notice and it was my last day. WOOHOO! I have never been more excited to pack up and leave a job!

WHile talking to the director I listed my 9,000 grievances and when the music issue was brought up he asked me if I thought that that music was appropriate for a 3 month old. 

a. Micah is four months old, duh.

b. Disney music? yes. I think it is appropriate. Micah isn't terribly fond of humpty-dumpty on repeat either. He told me so. 

SOOO glad to be outta there! I start at TJ's on sunday. 

Long day.

Micah has colic. 6-9pm. 

every. 

single. 

night.

good thing he's cute, or he would have been posted on craigslist today. 

;)  just kidding. 

He has become a very good smile-er. So cute!

I got chastised at work today for playing "potentially offensive music." I responded with, "it's the Disney Channel's Camp Rock soundtrack. It's totally good clean fun. " My boss said, "people might think it's something else. It sounds like gangster rap."

Riiiight.

Because the Jonas Brothers and Snoop Dogg are, like, BFFs. It's obvious that their music styles would be similar.

It was the soundtrack to the Disney Channel movie Camp Rock.

well, people might think that you don't have a legit pre-school when 3/4 teachers that were hired have quit, and we aren't even 3 full weeks into business. Oh, and you haven't hired any new ones! 

give me a break! how can music  have a questionable beat?

a. I don't like what that would teach Micah about christians or "christian environments." It doesn't have to look a certain way. Just because it's different doesn't make it bad. 

b. developmentally, children need to be exposed to something more than humpty-dumpty.

c. sitting in the same room everyday listening to the same wee sing songs makes me want to hit my head on the wall. repeatedly... and they don't want a teacher with a bruised head. 

I don't like it when people put God in a box by labeling certain things "christian." 

He is the God of the universe. He is a lot bigger than humpty-dumpty. He doesn't crack, and He never falls. 

I think He liked the music.  

PS happy 4 month birthday Micah! He is 11 lbs 2oz and 21 3/4 inches long! What a big boy! His head is a bit too big for his body ( The nurse actually measured it 2x to be sure of it's size.)

Funny Story

So, this story is one of Brian's favorites.

Growing up in California I always saw the California Cows and the "real California Cheese" commercials.

When I got to North Carolina I was watching t.v. and saw a commercial for the "California Cheese."

I thought to myself, "Huh, they have California Cheese here too?"

I thought that every state had their own happy cows and state cheese.

Live and learn...

weekend plans

great weekend this weekend. I like having my fam visit.

pics!

Daddy and me!

Mommy and me!

I'm not happy, but look at my cute outfit!
 

Just waking up!
  

Ready to go tubing!

Oh, dear.

So, I pulled up to work today to see two cop cars!

Someone came last night and vandalized the church school bus! It's so sad. That's the bus they use to bring homeless people to church and give them a meal. 

I just hope that that person/s anger towards God lessens. It makes me sad that someone was hurting that much. 

My thought is that anger that big has to be based on hurt somewhere along the line.  :(

What a busy week!

So, I started my new job.

I am now continuing my job search. That's how well it went.

PS daycare costs about as much as our mortgage. awesome.

We went to the lake yesterday for B's company picnic. It was SO MUCH FUN! We got to go inner-tubing and it was great! B and I are both sore, but it was totally worth it! Micah hung out on the shore with the nurses. The sound of the water put him right to sleep! He was very cute in his boardshorts!
