Okay, I’m trying to write a post here — have so much to say — but, I have a terrible migraine. I mean, the headache part I can KIND OF bear, but the nausea is just slightly UNBEARABLE.

So, I’m going to be brief. Nothing fancy. And, then I’m going upstairs to WRITHE in my bed until Rascal starts screaming for me all night long. (See, POSITIVITY is the key…. I AM OPTIMISTIC! Grrrr. I am done being optimistic. I HAVE NO HOPE for his sleeping. I WILL. Neversleepagain.)

WHICH is probably why I have this headache. The little guy has a BIG front tooth coming in on top. It’s one of those peekaboo ones — it’s out, no it’s back in, NO IT’S OUT, nope, back in. OUT OUT OUT OUT. No, in. Okay back out. Still out out OUT…. STILL OUT! Yeah, it’s here. Peek a FREAKING boo. Poor little guy….

Poor me little guy’s also making leaps and bounds in other areas…. Ahem:

Stairs? He’s climbing STAIRS now?

And, he’s SPEAKING! He says Mum Mum…, and Mih (“milk”)…, and AYAYA (which is, of course, “I love you”). He also waves, and tackles his sister, and he points at everything and says “DAT” or “DUT” (rhymes with “put” — Monkey loves imitating it)….

OY! Meenote (aka Minden, of course) is, as we all know, very jealous of the little BLOND thing (I still can’t believe I have such a blond child!)….

As promised, by the way, here are my stones and the sea shell — my birthday gift for myself….

The dog in the pic, by the way, is my first dog, Belle. I know. NOT a cat. The stones I got are: rose quartz (for the heart), blue agate (for healing and, apparently, good gardening?), clear quartz (for healing and meditation), citrine (for confidence and the intellect), amethyst (for meditation, depression relief, and everything PSYCHIC). I’m looking forward to collecting more! COVET!

Of course, the monkey wouldn’t leave my stones alone. So, we went and picked up some for her today. And, you can believe what a byotch it is trying to keep these things off the floor and out of Rascal’s wee mouth!

Here’s what Monkey chose for herself….

Ready?

All pinks and purples, of course. My little princess. It was a pleasure getting these stones for her. She was SO into it, and she was such a GEM today. A little buddy. We laughed all day together, rubbed noses and butterfly kissed (she has the best eyelashes for that)! Too sweet.

Also TOO SWEET? I took a bath this afternoon. I set monkey on my bed with her stones and some TV, and plopped Rascal on the bathroom floor. He ended up standing beside the tub looking longingly at me — with pout and whimpers — because HAVE I MENTIONED HE’S CLINGY? Ridiculous clingy?

Still, it was really nice. All this no-sleeping is making my ENTIRE BODY ACHE AND SHIVER…. So, the bath was kind of necessary. How spontaneous of me, though, huh? Makes me think I can do something like this for me EVERY DAY. (And, you can for YOU, Gorgeouses!) A little break in the day for something indulgent? Hmmm…. 34 IS going to be a great year!

Well, look at that! I wrote me a full-out post! I was having FUN! Apologies if it’s gibberish. I have no idea. And, there will be no re-reading. Head is fully imploding at this point, and I might actually run upstairs and have a chat face to face with the porcelain goddess…. GOTTAGO!

BY THE WAY!!! That CUTE POPPER who made it through to the finals in So You Think You Can Dance Canada tonight — MILES FABER — is my first cousin! I knew something was up when his mom told us she had to sign a form…. I’ll try to find the clip on YouTube for all you International Gorgeouses!! Look out for it this weekend over at Gossip….
