so not only is all me email down (ok, all the email that matters, as all that matters goes to pjs, not azx) but my internet is running unbefuckingleavably slow today. nothing is loading well. is it our cable? is it something else? who knows.

but it is pissing me the fuck off.

and now, something of substance (yes, it’s about damn time)

I love melissa and doug toys for my boys. Why didn’t someone tell me about them before? http://www.gummylump.com/ carried them. We have this one which Dor loves and has already lost a few pieces to. Must clean out under couch. Afraid of what I will find when I do…. He wants this one and this is the one we bought him yesterday. I had this as a child. I swear, it is the same kit, minus the colour. We bought Malachai the one on the right, the stacking rings. He adores it.

Must get more of these toys!! So, if you had plans on spending anything on my kids in the near future, you can get them that stuff. It ranges from like, 6 dollars on up to 30 or more.

We got some of these nifty little things as well. Not that huge set. A small 10 set. It came with 8 balls, 6 long pieces & 10 small pieces. It’s green. We need more. These are more addicting than lego’s ever were. I suspect if we had the disposable income, our house would have been covered in them last night. We would have gone back and stocked up. They ROCK! In addition to my wish lists, if you were going to buy me anything for my birthday, those are on the list as well. They have smaller sets. I’d like them in blue or red.

Since has decided to see how long he can be veggie, we will be food shopping each Monday for something for me to make that will last him the week. This Sunday I made an eggplant/red pepper/mushroom/cheese/tortellini casserole thing. It was tasty. Usually I make a lasagna with said ingredients, but I bought tortellini instead.

My mom has polyps on her esophagus & stomach and the beginnings of an ulcer. So we will be eating more fish, and basically radically changing to a diet I can better stomach and cook for. Now to make the demon spawn eat it. Not mine, my children eat anything I put in front of them. The twins. hey aren’t as bad as ’s daughter, who has self-imposed a white diet, but damn close. I will have to sit down with them, go through the cook book, se what they will eat, like, and can possibly help cook. Maybe if they help make it, they will eat it? Oh, and I will take them food shopping once a week as well. If they help pick it out, help cook it, then perhaps they will help eat it. Even fish. Maybe get a whole fish? Have *chuckles* Fish help gut it, teach them about its innards of fishies….. just not *my* Fishie.

That’s all. I have to go rescue the dvd’s now *grumble*
