Your Personal Pengi

So, in case any of my readers are wondering where I found that penguin song, this is it. On facebook, there is an application that I like called (fluff)Friends. This application had a film festival, and this was one of the entrees. I'm glad it won a prize, cause I really like it. :)

Your personal Pengi

Truce

It would seem that me and Bug have had a truce. You remember my angry posts about hitting. Well, now if he feels like hitting something, he goes in his room and walks around hitting the walls. I'm fine with that. It isn't hurting anyone but him, and if he wants to hit walls, go ahead I say. I'm kind of excited about it because me and Rocket Scientist were trying to teach him that everyone gets mad sometimes, and a good way to get out that anger without really hurting anyone is to go somewhere alone and scream or whatever and calm down a bit so you can act more rationally. Now I'm not expecting him to act rationally, but I'm glad that he goes to his room when he is mad to calm down a bit. There are times when he deserves a time out of course, but those times, we put him in there and put a gate across the door so he can't come out unless we want him to. Still, if he is having a tantrum, we give him the option to stop so he can come out. I'm glad that he can tell the difference between time-outs and "scream time" (as we call it....).

Crust

Bug threw up yesterday during dinner. I put him to bed early and tested his temperature (100.8). I forgot to give him Tylonol last night, but gave him some this morning. I have been trying to make sure he drinks a lot of water by asking him to every time I check on him. He hasn't thrown up today and actually had an appetite this morning. I gave him a piece of bread and so far he seems to be fine with it. He still has a fever, but not as high I think.

So, what does all this have to do with the title? Normally Bug doesn't eat the crust of his sandwich. Sometimes he does, but normally leaves it. When he was eating his bread this morning, he kept rotating the bread as he ate it thus eating the crust first. What was so different in that piece of bread? Who knows.... Maybe it tastes better when your sick?? I thought it was weird...

Vegitarian vs. ...... ?

Is it just me or do most kids like meat? Like, really like meat. I guess either that or they hate vegetables.

During dinner tonight, we had a pretty balanced meal, and I'm somewhat proud that I was able to come up with it. It was just canned corn, leftover meatballs, and rolls that my neighbor brought over. It was pretty tasty if I do say so myself. :)

I never thought that I would have to say to Bug, eat your meat before you get more veggies. I had that thought in mind, he has only had one bite of his meat only because I wouldn't give him more milk before he ate some meat. Do I have a vegetarian on my hands? (by the way, what is the name for someone who isn't a vegetarian? Meatarian?

7 Facts About Myself

1. I have an innate sense of smell. I can smell a poopy diaper right under Rocket Scientist's nose across the room and he can't. (In fact I can smell one right now maybe the reason for mentioning it in the first place? Who knows? I'll be right back in any case.)

2. I can't stand slimy/gross/greasy things (as mentioned earlier in my blog) or at least touching them.

3. I spend way too much time on the computer because our apartment is so small and I can hear Bug playing, even watch him if I want.

4. I dreamt an anime that was so cool I didn't want to wake up. Some day I'll tell you about it.

5. I love Christmas songs so much that I'm listening to "The Christmas Song" right now.

6. I have never been on a plane and have wanted to my whole life. I have even had a couple of opportunities to, but never had enough money or it just didn't work out. I haven't even had a flying dream.

7. I laid in the grass with a neighbor I don't feel particularly close to and watched the clouds go by imagining they are different things. I don't even remember doing that as a child.

Who Do I tag? Whoever wants to do this :)

Death by pearls?

After I finished posting the last one I started to take off my pearl necklace. I believe that it is 100 inches long, and I just had it wrapped around my neck multiple times. This is the problem:











And a close up...











So after trying my hardest to get off the deadly necklace with all sorts of thoughts running through my mind such as: "Should I wait up for Rocket Scientist? Should I try to sleep with it on? But necklaces aren't smart to sleep with them on because of the chance of 'hanging'" (etc...) I ended up calling a neighbor over. I felt so bad and stupid, but she was totally willing to help. Another wonderful reason to be so grateful! Anyway, there is your deadly necklace story and I'm going to bed now. :)
