Cute Word of the Day
Marlee is eating her leftover Mexican from last night and just offered me a bite of WOCKYMOLEY. I think I just might die from the cuteness.
Cool Henry Croc Shoes
My kid is a genius. Okay, not really, but I'm constantly impressed with her ability to communicate. Yesterday was a perfect example. Here was our conversation:
Me: Marlee June, time to get on shoes so we can go to the store then meet Grandpa for lunch.
MJ: Okay. I be right back.
[Scurries off to her room. I hear much shuffling and wonder what's going on as her sandals are just inside her door. A couple of minutes later, she's back, wearing one of the fur-lined faux crocs we bought at target last winter. I thought we had packed these away and had no idea where she found it.]
MJ: Marlee has Henry Shoe!!! [Cousin Henry has actual crocs. Apparently she envied them last weekend]
Me: Oh, you liked Henry's shoes?
MJ: Mommy take sock off. [Referring to the furry lining]
Me: It doesn't come off, honey. It's stuck.
MJ: [drumroll please....] PLEASE, Mommy! Get the scissors and cut it off!
I mean, COME ON! The sentence structure, the logic involved...it floored me.
Me: I have an idea. How about instead of the grocery store we go to the toy store and buy you some Crocs?
MJ: Cool Henry Croc Shoes.
And that's precisely what we did. She wore her one furry faux croc on the way there, and returned with these:

Out of Touch
Sorry for the lack of posts lately, I've been without a computer, and that makes it tough. Now I finally have one, and lots of stuff to post, but no time. We leave for Florida before dawn, and I have too much to do. Stay tuned updates when we get back!

The Girl Knows What She Wants
Conversation around 5:30 last night
Me: OK, MJ. It's time to start dinner. We're going to grill hotdogs and make corn on the cob.
MJ: (laughing) No, Mommy! Marlee's eating mac'n'cheese! And big corn!
After explaining that mac'n'cheese was not on the menu...
MJ: Oh-tay. Marlee eat a hot dog. And mac'n'cheese for lunch!
So she got her mac'n'cheese for lunch today.

Where It Counts
This morning I woke up feeling like I'd been run over by a Mack truck. I've reached a point in the pregnancy where I have a hard time getting comfortable. I'm also plagued with pregnancy insomnia (had it w/ MJ around this time too) that's only made worse by nagging allergies. At 6:30, with Michael and Marlee sleeping snuggly in the bed, I decided I might as well get up. The moment my feet hit the floor, my blood pressure dropped, and I felt worse. I walked to the bathroom to lose my snack from the night before and tend to the massive nosebleed that had just started. M & M got up a while later to find me sick and sad on the sofa. They decided to go out to breakfast and let me rest. So they set me up in bed with a cup of tea and the Desperate Housewives finale and headed out.
About an hour and a half later, feeling much better, I got up, opened the blinds, and prepared to face the day. I heard the door and went to greet my favorite two people. There was Michael, my white knight and best daddy ever, and Marlee, my sweet baby girl, holding a covered platter which she announced was "breffess for Mommy from Maffle House." Those two have magical powers to turn my day right around.
We don't have much money, but where it counts we're blessed with more riches than I deserve.
