The other day we were coming home from lunch and a quick stop at the halloween store. We had to pick up a crown for Kari's costume. She is a medieval queen this year. Noah is Dash from the Incred1bles. While Rick was getting Noah out of his car seat Kari and I walked to the front door. I didn't have my keys, so we had to wait for Rick to open the door. As we were waiting, I asked Kari which queen she was to which she replied, matter factedly, "the Queen of England". It was taking Rick a bit longer than usual to get Noah out and Kari asked me to open the door. I told her I didn't have the keys and she muttered, "Hmph. I am soo going to banish you!".
Last week, Kari came in from playing outside. She was crying and said that Cody threw a football at her and hit her in the back. While we were calming her down she noticed that one of her bottom teeth was loose. She showed me which one and I wiggled it and expected it to still be pretty tight since this was the first time Kari noticed it. It was very loose. She started to cry, "Now I can't eat anymore! My tooth is loose and I can't eat until all of my teeth fall out!" Because that will be easier - to eat without teeth. She announced to everyone we saw that night that she had a loose tooth. Noah, on the other hand would tell everyone that Kari's tooth was loose and ready to fall out because Cody hit her in the back with the football. Those of you with boys playing football, beware, because their teeth may start falling out!
Rick and I had a much needed date night on Saturday. We had a delicious dinner of appetizers and ice cream sandwiches at TG1Friday's and then went to see Acr0ss the Univ3rse. It was a really good movie and I, of course, thoroughly enjoyed the adult only time spent with my husband.
But, I would love to know in a theater that was not at all crowded why some guy had to sit right next to me! The rows in front of and behind us were empty and yet this guy and his girlfriend sat right next to me. It really made me feel self conscious about using the arm rest or moving at all during the movie.
Aside from that, it was a wonderful evening!
Now it is time to catch up on the laundry and housework that I am behind on and have been behind on for some time now.
I am tired of my back hurting and it is back to the way it felt three weeks ago, before I saw my chiropractor. The substitute dr on Saturday adjusted me really roughly and I am in pain. I have an appointment later today.
Laundry calls......
Why is it that when the kiddos wake up and have breakfast at the crack of dawn, they think lunch should be at 10 AM? I am holding them off until 11:30 AM and then it will be early naps! I have to meet with a host at 1 PM and then I have a show at 4:30 PM. I have two more shows to close for the month and I have to wrap up the Arb0nne party I hosted on Tuesday.
Sigh.
It is the weekend, right?
When Kari was in preschool for 2 1/2 hours she never used the bathroom. I guess she could hold it for that amount of time. When we started talking about kindergarten she said that she wouldn't have to use the bathroom since she never went in preschool. I told her she might need to/want to go since she would be at school for 6 1/2 hours as a kindergarter. So, after the first week of school I asked her if she had used the bathroom at school. And she said, "Yes. We use Pod A* to go to the pot-tay!" and just about laughed herself silly. So, now any time she mentions using the bathroom at school, she sings "There's a par-ty in the pot-tay at Pod A!" She gets her sense of humor from her mother. Noah's bathroom humor always has something to do with poop, so that is definitely from his father.
*K's school is an open classroom school with pods for the different classes/grade levels.

Kari was completing one of her homework assignments which was to draw a picture of what she wants to be when she grows up. I asked her what she had drawn and she said she had drawn herself and a bird that was hurt.
"I want to be a vegetarian!" she exclaimed excitedly.
"You mean a veterinarian. A vet is a doctor that helps animals." I replied.
"Ooohh. Yeah, that's what I want to be. But, what's a vegetarian?" Kari asked.
"Someone that only eats vegetables".
"Eww! I could never be one of those!"
So, I went to the chiropractor this morning and was accessed and adjusted. I even got some of the major cool electronic pulsating therapy and a menthol rub. It was all good. Or so it seemed.
Now that everything has been realigned I am in some major pain. Well, the back pain is the same and now my neck pain is back and I have this weird headache. Ugh.
But, I know this is part of the process of chiropractic care. It always hurts before it is better. And I have seven years of misalignment to set straight. Ha! I am funny, but don't feel like joking much. Plus, it hurts to laugh.
Rick finally got to met Dr. H. For years, due to me saying "yeah, um, I guess" when asked if the dr. was good looking, Rick thought that I some secret crush on him. After seeing him today he knows how off base he was with his assumption. Apparently, he looks nothing like Rick thought he would which makes him feel even better. I also didn't have to get completely naked to be adjusted, which eased his mind a bit, too.
Sigh. Men.
I have other things I want to blog, so maybe I will be back later.....or tomorrow.
I have an appointment with my old chiropractor next Monday. He will probably tell me that I need to have weekly adjustments and I need to lose weight. I already know both of those things, but I am going to pay him $90 to tell me that. And I am going to get an x-ray. A new x-ray, because my old x-ray concentrates on the problem I had in my neck and arm years ago. The new problem is in my lower back. And hopefully, I will be able to walk, sit and sleep without pain again. That is really what I am going to pay him $90 for - to be able to function again, pain free. That will be nice.
