the weekly randomness.....

did i tell you i got to talk to tj this weekend?
yes, they gave them back their phones for nearly 24 hours. we talked several times.
he's doing well. said things aren't as tough as he expected them to be.
it was good to hear from him. he sounded happy. funny how things like that help you sleep better. i get next to no sleep when he's away. especially if i go several days in a row without hearing from him.

i'm waiting for teege to go to sleep. it's nap time.
then i am going to try and mow i guess. it needs to be done. i don't want to do it. but someone has to.

i went with my mom and dad yesterday to see my meme and papaw. it was our visit to them for papaw's father's day. we drank coffe and ate dirt pudding(YUMM!) and played with the baby. it was fun. it's hard to believe that i'm actually sitting around the table with them now and actually have grown up stuff to talk about.
used to we'd go visit and the grownups would sit in the kitchen and us kids would go watch tv or play in the other room. or read.

teege did not take one nap yesterday!
wait, i take that back. i put him down for his morning nap at 9 30 so he'd get some kind of nap. i had to wake him up at 11 so we could get ready to go. he didn't sleep anymore til bed time. not even in the car on the way there or back! he was fed, bathed, and in bed by 6 45. he woke up at 4 45 and i snuck in and gave him a new diaper and handed him a bottle. he can hold it by himslef so i went back to be. of course i went back in when he was finally quiet and took the bottle away. it's not good to leave it with them. if they sleep with it in their mouth it gives them bad teeth later supposedly.
and then he slept until 9 15! YEA! that hasn't happened in forever!
i actually got to sleep in today!

i have a box i have to get to the post office to send to TJ. it's all wrapped and ready to go. but i don't think we'll make it today.
around here, if you don't get to the post office before 11 you will wait in line for an hour. seriously.it's that busy.
so i guess we'll go after breakfast tomorrow.
i figure one more day won't delay it getting to him that much.

i guess if i am going to mow i better go do it. these nap times have been short as of late. i guess it's a good thing i don't have to get things done in a timely manner.

I didn't know you guys were going, or I'd have gone, too! Damn- a missed opportunity to see Nephew's car-ride antics.

I think the bottle thing only affects teeth if they HAVE them to mess up- and if it's got something sugary like juice or soda in it. Isn't it all about just sitting in their mouths leaking cavity-causing stuff onto the tooth enamel, and the nipple pressing the teeth in funny directions? and those teeth are going to just fall out anyway...

Good for you. Rob works nights and it's difficult for me to sleep sometimes without getting a text message from him saying goodnight. It's even rougher when he's staying at mom's during the multiple days he works in a row and I don't get that message.

Sleep is always good, especially if you haven't had it in a while.
