Adam's Breakfast

Have you always wanted to give your child the best breakfast you could? Well now you can with the NEW Breakfast of Toddler Champions, as eaten by my very own 2 year old son, Adam. There is 100% guarantee of food ending up on the floor, on the walls or in their hairs. We are not to be held responsible for any damages caused by this breakfast. Feed to your child at your own risk.

Just follow these simple steps

Step 1: Give in to toddler's incessant screaming for a "katart" which he will eventually crumble all over the table and/or floor

Step 2: After he is finished with the poptart make him a waffle because he is eating all of his brother's. This waffle he will only take a few bites of before asking for whatever it is that someone else has.

Step 3: Give him half of the banana that you were giving to his little sister. He will most likely throw it across the room then want it back.

Step 4: Sit him back at the table with waffle and banana that has been rinsed off. It won't take long for him to throw the banana on the floor again and get down from the table.

Step 5: Appease him with an Elmo sippy cup of milk which will then make little sister cry for her own when he teases her with it.

Step 6: Get another sippy for little sister and then tell him no, he cannot have a banana since he threw his on the floor.

Step 7: Let him cry for a minute while you eat the rest of the banana he brought to you and he will eventually stop asking for food since everyone else is eating.

I hope you get as much satisfaction out of this breakfast as my family and I do. Again, we do not accept any responsibility for any mishaps that incur from following this breakfast. Good luck... you're gonna need it!

May Day, May Day! We've Sprung a Leak!

It has been raining since yesterday. It rained pretty good all night last night. I didn't get to bed until almost 2am and had to be up at 630. I decided to sleep in... well, I didn't really have a choice. My body just wouldn't let me get up and I didn't put up a fight.

When I finally got up and went to use the bathroom I noticed the floor was soaken wet. I grabbed a towel to clean it up and sat down to do my business. It didn't take me long to figure out where it was coming from since I was getting dripped on from up above.

The skylight in my bathroom is leaking. That's nice. I layed out a towel to catch what it would but I'm sure the next trip in there it will be just as wet.

As if that weren't enough leakage for one morning... my blender decided it wasn't going to hold anything in. I was trying to make a healthy fruit smoothie for breakfast. I poured in the orange juice and was measuring out the yogurt when I noticed the huge puddle of oj surrounding my blender. GREAT! I should have known after the bathroom incident that my blender would not kaput on me. It had a slow leak before but if I was quick enough it didn't make too big of a mess but there was no amount of tightening that would fix this leak. When I tested it over the sink the water just poured out of the bottom, almost as if there wasn't even anything holding it in. CRAP! Guess it's time for a new blender. Now to decide which one I want.

And as if that weren't enough drama for the day... my kids decided to fight over a spoon. I'm surprised there was no bloodshed with all the pinching and punching and kicking and biting. All over a freakin' spoon that says Alexandra on it. Lexi got it for herself and Jacob wanted it. I tried delegating but it just spiraled out of control so I settled that with taking away their cereal. Lexi only got to eat her banana and Jacob went to school hungry because he refused to have anything but cereal. Hope lunch is good today.

***EDIT***
OMG I swear it is leak city around here. I'm making dinner and I hear this drip, plop sound coming from somewhere near my refridgerator. I look all around and don't see where it is coming from. Jacob... being the genius that he is... opened up the fridge and sure enough there was water dripping from the freezer. WTH? This happened not too long ago so I turned the ice maker off and the leaking stopped. I thought the problem was solved as long as we didn't use the ice maker. I guess I was wrong. It is leaking again and the ice maker hasn't been on in weeks.

I emailed my landlord this morning about the skylight and the problem we have with our fence from back in March '06 and she is sending someone out tomorrow from Odd Jobs. I guess they can look at my fridge too. I wouldn't be surprised if they start referring to us as the Leakheads! (yah, I know, how corny was that? LoL)
