I've even gone so far as to make a list of things I want to do before Friday. A LIST! I am not a list person, although I really should be one because it is the only way I have found for me to stay organized and on target when faced with any sort of time line. Today I had planned to do some cleaning and errands and scrubbing of toilets, but instead? Would you like to know what I'm doing instead? I'm sitting on the floor, directly in front of the TV which is playing "You've Got Mail" for the third time in the last 5 days, munching on Archer Farm's brand of Sweet & Spicy snack mix. The laundry is piled (unfolded) on the chair behind me, and I've spent much of the morning looking for cool ankle booties on eBay...
...like this pair, which happen to be for sale right now and they are even my SIZE, but I just know that by the end of the auction they will be selling for the price of roughly 4 small countries and I will be left, once again, emotionally crushed and ankle boot-less...awash in the world of footwear; wandering aimlessly with nothing on my feet but the ragged flip flops I bought from Payless 4 years ago for $4.99.
Ezra has been very whiiiiiinnnnyyyyyy the last couple of days, and I'm beginning to sense that his frustration is largely fueled by his not being able to communicate with me as well as he'd like. I'm hoping that this frustration will push him more towards verbalization and less towards throwing his limp body on the floor and writhing every 3 minutes or so- screaming and *gufaw*ing all Ace Ventura-like. Every time he does this thrashing on the floor dance, I can't help but think of Jim Carrey in that scene where he is being 'birthed' out of the robotic rhino- twisting and contorting and ultimately freaking the bejeebuz out of everyone present. (And I'm the lady holding the binoculars.)
Thankfully, all of this extra whining has been counteracted with an even larger measure of sweet cuteness and lovey-doveyness. He is snuggly and silly and hilarious when he is not horizontal on the kitchen tile, and I thank God for that. God seems to know that I need a little comic relief every now and then in this life (since He made me and all), and Ezra seems to have it coming out of his ears these days.
Also, can you guys believe that it is JUNE already?! I swear, just yesterday it was Christmas... I mean, I'm still accidentally writing 2006 on checks and forms for gosh's sake, and you're telling me its JUNE?
Dirty liars. It's a conspiracy, I just know it.

Ah, that communication barrier is TOUGH. It's hard some times to feel like the boy is trying so SO hard to TELL you something, and your brain just can't decifer the message.
And yes, JUNE!?! What happened? I'd like to know also. I'm having another baby in JULY. Which comes right after JUNE. gulp.
Have fun with your parents. I think my own parents are some of the only people in the world who appreciate every little cute thing Calum does as much as we do. It's a nice feeling to be consumed with amazement for your child along side someone else.

Em Jo! I see boots like that all the time at the thrift stores near my house. If I see some again, I'll snag them for ya if you want! (of course, now that I'm actually LOOKING for some, they'll all be gone cuz that's how it goes, isn't it?) Color preference?? Size?? Pass??
