again with the nausea :| and no i'm not pregnant :| can you imagine? me a brunette mother of three??! using the third row of seats? having more children than i have hands? having to still pay for someone's untouched meal on 'kids eat free' night? 3x 1000 decibels + 3 x 1000 questions per minute 3x the fighting = never in a million :|
though... i am contemplating something somewhat life-changing... watching a little tiny baby for his mama. this, i could do... he could be a new little muse! he could be a pretend baby brother for Danny! and i would never have to endure a sleepless night... she'll pick him up at night, right?? she won't leave him all night? that part, i couldn't do again....
on a totally unrelated topic (i'm looking on travelzoo...) what is up with all these resort fees everywhere? urgh. i hate taking vacations, i really do. i blame george w bush for resort fees and.... oh pretty much the entire world falling off it's axis in the last 9 years (minus the last 9 months... which have been positively rose-tinted in comparison)
vacations now are worse than real life - you can't even take your good moisturizer on the plane, you have to leave 90% of your clothes at home to avoid excess baggage fees, you have to wear daggy shoes because they slip on and off at the airport, oh and endure the stink of sweaty business men's tasseled shoes in line, and forget those boiled micro lasagnes and little frozen blocks of cheese and crackers inflight.... you have to pay $20 a day for a newspaper at the hotel, that is after the 4pm check-in time, they don't even replenish the towels "to save the environment", and they don't have a DVR :( and don't even think about running around/diving into the pool - fun is so totally NOT allowed on vacation :|
vacations suck. or maybe home is just way more comfortable these days and i am hopelessly spoiled....?
off to walk the dogs. i think it's been a week or so and their noses are pressed to the window trying to remember what outside smells like :(

You can take care of my little baby if you like!
ReplyDeleteawwww Tarnya you would trust me with him? xoxo you have no idea how much i would LOOOOVE to be his auntie who watches him while Mummy runs errands :) he is completely heartmeltingly gorgeous - and i don't throw that word around lightly :)
ReplyDeletehi, i've dipped in and out of your blog for a couple of months now, loving the way you view the states from an english pov :) originally followed your pictures via flickr btw. anyhow, just a really silly question, i was wondering if youd be so kind as to let me in on your secret of having your blogger set up so your pictures are actually central to the page - i'm struggling :) thanks so much, and sorry if i've made myself sound like a stalker, i can assure you i am not, just a run of the mill english mum trying to get a photography blog set up on the cheap (for cheap, read free!) thanks, lisa
ReplyDeletehi Lisa! i am not sure i did anything very clever... the pics just show up that way... if you send me a link to your blog i can look how it is different to mine? maybe the layout...? i changed the width of the page to be able to fit a 800 pixel pictures.... and the pics are hosted on flickr privately so they show up in the text...? urgh can you tell i have no clue??! anyway, flickr mail me i will help you, any fellow brit is a friend of mine xoxo
ReplyDeleteCarol, not only would I trust you with him, I would be absolutely delighted, no, honoured if you were his Auntie who watched him while I ran errands.
ReplyDeleteYou obviously do an amazing job with your boys and if my little fellow turns out to be half as kind and inquisitive and funny as your two, then I will be very happy indeed.
And I don't throw any words around lightly!
So, when are you moving to Australia?
