Drew Barrymore and scrambled eggs

Here I am getting ready to type on this blog- um.......wait. Let me start over. Here I WAS getting ready to type on this blog- I'm typing now- and Lauren is sitting across the room playing with her "Little People" Zoo. Right now, she's making up sounds that each animal makes. A giraffe roars like a lion, an elephant makes the sound of a monkey...etc! So, I have the tv on and am watching the Wedding Singer. Lauren stands up, points to Drew Berrymore on the Tv and says "mama!" It's nice to know that she thinks I look that good at 11:53 at night! Yes, it's 11:53pm and my daughter is not in bed. Sue me. I have hardly gotten one-on-one time with her lately! (well- it feels like it). I've been working 50+ hours a week for the last few weeks and am very lucky to be able to bring her to work with me 2 days. Unfortunately, I have to leave her three days. So sad. I'm not ready. She is. I'm not. She does great with anyone! She is very much a people person. Who knows where she got that from!!! hmmmm... Tim has had her in the mornings three days a week and does a fabulous job with her! It was a little rocky in the beginning though.....again...for me. Tim has always had things under control! He makes her breakfast and Lunch and gets her off to the sitter without a hitch! Well....there was one hitch once.... He called me one day to give me a rundown of how she was that day and what time he was dropping her off with the sitter and what she ate for Breakfast and Lunch. Lucky for me, he didn't tell me how many poopy diapers she had had. But I would have been ok with that too! Ah..the breakfast. "she ate 4 eggs, a banana and her juice." At first it didn't dawn on me what he had just said. I just thanked him, told him I loved him and then hung up the phone. WAIT!!!!! 4 EGGS!!? Wow! I called him right back to see if what I really heard was right. It was. "I made her 2 scrambled eggs with milk....but it didn't look like enough- so I made 2 more." Oh My gosh!!! 4 eggs is nothing to Tim, but How Lauren ate all that and a banana is unreal! And for all you other parents out there- every time she farted, it smelled horrible! like rotton eggs! Needed a gas mask to go into her room in the morning!!!! oh,my! All the same- Tim deserves a huge pat on the back for making sure she has her protein for the week in one meal! Job done!
...........In other news..........I'll begin working for a new family in September part time to start. I am really looking forward to it! Not only because I can bring Lauren with me everyday, but also because she is an artist. I love it!
Tim quit Edens. Hopefully he won't ever have to go back now that I am working and bringing in a little more money.
My mom sent a bunch of clothes and a couple other things for Lauren. the pics are of her going through the box and playing with one of the toys. The other pics are of Lauren watching all the rain that we have had lately. She loves to catch the water in her hand!
