The Great Cookie Crusade (& Over the Weekend)

I only have four fingernails!? The other six I ripped off at the traffic light leaving the neighborhood. There was an accident and we sat there for at least a half hour, no exaggeration. The lights were working but there was a fire police directing traffic. So every time the light turned green, Olivia helpfully shouted GO TRAVIS! I was so aggravated. It was worse because the lane I was in had been moving but he stopped me just as I got to the intersection and let the other direction go. And then he stopped everyone. And then he let the other direction that just had their turn go again. And we just sat there and I had a four year old back seat driver, and just ugh! So finally I turned right instead of going straight, and went miles out of the way. It took us over an hour to get to Wal*Mart which is only 20 minutes away tops.

Then when we parked Jacob said with desperation that he needed to go potty. He had already pee-peed in his pants today. So we made a mad dash through the parking lot and through the store. Luckily he waited til we were in the bathroom to yell "I HAVE TO DROP THE DEUCE!" Whatever, thanks, just do it. Then Olivia had to use the bathroom. Then we could finally get the stinking cookies we went out for in the first place. For Jacob's school Christmas party on Wednesday. I called Danielle to see if she required anything else, and she reminded me that she had her monthly Bunco Girls' Night tonight and I'd have to improvise dinner. We went to Burger King.

We got home and watched the Grinch and Horton. And I put them in the bath. Then I went on Facebook and in the meantime the bathroom was flooded. The water was turned off but the kids splashed everywhere. Then Danielle got home to wash them and read to them and put them to bed. Now we are watching the first half of Pride and Prejudice.

Saturday everybody went shopping but me. Melanie came over to return a dish and when I said I was home all by my lonesome she invited me over to her house. I watched she and Brent play Guitar Hero, singing and playing guitar. And then they somehow managed to get me to sing. I sang Ex-Girlfriend by No Doubt. I got a 98%! Then they went to pick up dinner and I went back to Danielle and Darren's. But they invited me back over later to watch the Ugly Truth. It was a lot of fun. When it was over I came back and watched the second half of Pride and Prejudice which is why we are watching the first half now. I started reading the book Sunday too.

Darren made a turkey dinner yesterday. It was very good. He told me that it should be a blog entry. And to say that if anyone should ever have the opportunity to become a nanny to be sure that they work for someone who is a good cook. Just because he suggested I say it doesn't mean I don't think its true. Haha.

I guess thats it. I am distracted by the movie. The end.
