If you prick us, do we not bleed??

Georgie scratched her nose until it bled last night (she refuses to let me cut her fingernails) - and it bled so much. On her pjs, on her sheets, through to her mattress cover - I think this is the first time I have seen her bleed and it was fairly traumatic (I'm sure it was no picnic for her, either). I know it won't be the last time, but I trimmed her damn nails just in case. :(

Holy Desperate Housewives plot

This cheating scandal is crazy!! Paying for higher SAT scores? Alleging your kids were on the crew team so they would get into college? Lynette Scavo, you know better than that!

Farmer in the Dell

I mentioned that Georgie pants when you ask her what a dog says. She also says "mao mao" when you ask what a cat says.
"Brrrr" = elephant
"Pppph" = horse
(clicks her tongue) = duck
"hcht hcht" = pig
"mmmmm" = cow

None of which are the typical sounds you would expect, but none are 100% incorrect, either. What a crack-up.

Dylan McKay

I'm still pretty shaken up over the death of Luke Perry. Unless you grew up in the 80s-90s, you don't understand, but he was IT. The show started when I was about 13, so my friends and I were prime targets. Brandon and David were cute, of course - but Dylan? OH DYLAN. I am so sad and feel so very old.

That eyebrow!! I cannot.

Guessing he's still a virgin then

Well, that WAS a pretty dramatic episode of the Bachelor! And glad they didn't buy matching pajamas. But seriously - this show might actually end with solid relationships if the women weren't 22 and 23 years old. How about people in their 30s?? God forbid.

Overscheduled, thy name is Sarah

Saturday Georgie had her weekly class at Little Gym, and then we had an introductory swim class they make you take before you register to see how they react to the water. (Um she loves it, obvi) Plus squeezed in between there I had to run to the grocery store and take Charlie to the vet and to get a bath. My mom offered to pick up the dog before she had an apt that afternoon, but wound up not having time to come home first so had to take Charlie with her. Meaning it was a ridiculously hectic day. But it's hard - when you work all week, weekends are the only time to get stuff done and take the baby to classes. Apparently they offer swim classes during the week, even in the evenings, but I'm not sure that would work either. Argh - struggle is real. Might have to hold off on swimming until after the gym classes are over, but I feel like people do this and do it well? Maybe I just need more practice.

School daze

So daycare is like super hard to get into, and super expensive. So imagine my excitement when an old friend from my Chili's days (we're talking 1995 here) messaged that she is the director of a nursery school and they have spots available in the fall! PLUS it's half what I am paying now. Took a tour today, and YES PLEASE. Too bad it only goes through pre-K, but hopefully by then I will live somewhere with decent public schools...
