Just so y'all know, Kyle finally wrote in his blog again. If anyone reads it...kylesnewlife.blogspot.com
On Tuesday, while I was taking Adriel to the bathroom in Subway he said "mommy, you're the best mommy ever." It was so sweet and cute. I love hearing things like that. I know it's not actually true, but I'm glad that's what he thinks. We went there after his soccer thing that he goes to. Kyle has a night lab and we don't have time to come home for dinner in between Adriel's soccer and Kyle's class. We went to subway. I tried a flat bread sub. It was delish. Kyle got a salad. He's back on his weight loss kick, where he can hardly eat anything. He tried to get me to do it with him. I just can't completely eliminate foods from my diet like he can. And frankly, I don't want to.
After subway, I went to Value Village where I couldn't resist some really cute shoes for Sloan's future feet, and I bought a cheep "tie-me-over" winter jacket for Adriel. It had been a really long time since I'd been to Value Village. It seems to me, that as far as kids stuff goes, there's way more things for girls. Probably because boys wear their stuff out, so it's not really all that reusable.
Every Saturday Kyle has had to work. It sucks. He doesn't work a full day, but it would be nice to just have a day off to spend together, do something fun with Adriel, you know? He's been so busy and he has several midterms next week, which means study study study.
The other night I was at our achievement activity. (by our, I mean Katie and I, she's the leader, I'm her assistant) We were doing this milk jug skeleton craft with Meriel Dykes. It was taking a really long time. There were all these cut outs that needed to be done. We were going over time, parents were showing up, girls were running wild and not paying attention. I was getting anxious because I told Kyle I'd be home at around 8 and I knew that was when Sloan was getting to his cranky "I need to nurse and go to bed state" Kyle doesn't handle that situation very happily. My phone rang and it was him asking me how much longer. I said I'd still be a while. I could hear Sloan screaming in the background, which is never easy for me to hear. He said "well I need you here now." I felt bad bailing on Katie. There was a lot of mess to clean up and stuff. I had to rush Emily home, because I was her ride, and I came home to find a half asleep Sloan with absolutely nothing on his bottom half in Kyle's arms with blood all over his face, shirt, bare legs...I didn't realize it was blood at first, I thought he'd eaten something messy, so I didn't really flip out. Kyle was just standing there looking at me with these eyes that said "you have no idea what I've been through." Sloan had a huge fat lip. Turns out Adriel had hit him hard with this metal rod thing he'd been playing with. My poor baby. When he saw me, he started crying again, and his voice was so hoarse from crying so long and hard. He wasn't too impressed that I still had to dress him and wipe him off before giving the ol' teat to the cheek. It was a dramatic experience for Kyle.
I'm excited for Halloween. Halloween is fun when you have kids, especially when they get old enough for trick or treating. You should know that Kyle insisted on buying the halloween candy last week, and it's been tempting me in my cupboard ever since. However, I have been strong and resisted. It's chocolate. Cadbury chocolate. Anything else wouldn't be as tempting. I know, we could have gotten something else, like a candy I don't even like so as not to tempt me, but for some reason I feel like I need to give out something good as a matter of pride or something. I never liked the houses that gave out raisins, for example, or peanuts, or those weird taffee candies that only come out in the Halloween season. I want to be a good house to the kids... I don't even know how many trick or treaters we'll get around here, or if we'll even be around for it, but there's also this trunk or treat thing that we're having at the church this Friday.
I'm rambling, and Sloan wants me, and as always, there's housework to be done. WHY does it never end?? It's me against three that's why. It's a losing battle.
