ON MY PLATE 05.03.13

Pull up a chair.  Grab a cup of coffee, light a cigarette, get your Earl Grey tea with one sugar, what ever your poison is. Sit down.  I want to spend some time with you. I miss you!

See its time to eat and I've made my favorite dish. It's too much for me on my own. Would you help me get to the bottom of it?

Here, your fork.  Wait what's that smell?  Ughck. Excuse me, my little ham needs a diaper change. See we just switched to cloth diapers.  It's a bit of a process now.  Can't just....Sit still you little monster....No! No.....Don't! Don't kick the diaper.....Ugh....Um, yeah, so I cant just throw away the diaper anymore. I've got to go clean it.  Also the little dear needs a foot scrub.  I'll be right back.  Go on, eat!

Okay! So, where was I?  Right. My favorite dish. Yes. It's so good.  Do you like it? It's sweet and.....SUPER! That's my cat! He's constantly trying to eat Cheeseburger. No, I named my bird Cheeseburger. I left Cheeseburger on his perch and...SUPER, CAT! I'LL KILL YOU!!! I'll be right back. I have to go put the cat out back and the bird back in the cage.

Do you need a napkin?  It's really messy, I know. So worth it.  Oh! Where is the phone....It's ringing.  Where is...Ah-hah! Hello? Oh no....What's his temp?  101.5....Do you need me to pick him up? Thank you so much. I'll be there in a few hours.  Kiss him for me.  Bye.  That's my little guy.  He's sick again.  The doctors cant quite pin it down to allergies, asthma or adenoids.  His father will get him and keep him at his house for a little. I can still eat with you! Here, let me get you some water.

Do you want ice? Hold that thought!! I have to pee! I'll be right back...Whooo! I almost didn't make it!  This whole being pregnant thing really makes the whole bathroom situation a priority. I'm glad you asked.  Yes, I'm feeling great!  Not sure what will happen in the third trimester.  My specialist thinks that I will get sick again. But right now, right now I'm good.  Don't worry about me. Eat! Right. Your water. Hold on.

Alright. The water. Mmm. I love this food. It's better warm but I don't always get to eat a warm meal if you couldn't tell. Haha. The mail is here!  I'm waiting for a check. Four letters. What's your bet it's not in here? Medical bill, student loan collector, home insurance bill and a credit card offer.  Hey, no worries. It'll come. Just...not today.  Bills will have to wait till....whenever I guess. Whatever...just as long as we make that first mortgage payment. That's all that really matters.

Enough about me, tell me about your new boyfriend!  Is he cute? Aww. I can't wait to meet...Baby! No! NO! Um...I'll be right back....No! you can't play with the dirty diapers.  Stop! Don't put that in the toilet....Please, give it to Momma....NO! Ugh!!! Here....watch some 'toons. Ugh...I have to pick up these diapers that Mr. Ham Bone thoughtfully threw into the toilet...Then wash my hands. Be right back.

OK! I'm not getting up again! More! Tell me about Mr. New Guy. Ohhh...He owns his own business. Pays his bills?  Cute? Wow. Go you! I really want to meet him. When is he coming to town next?  The phone, excuse me. Oh, hey. Yeah I said I would be there at three. It's only noon. Has he gotten worse? Have you called the doctor?  I'll take care of it. No, its fine. IT'S FINE. Just relax. Yes, we are still meeting next Wednesday to talk about the new visitation schedule and talk about where he will go to school next year. No, I wont forget. Do you need me to come now? Ok. I'll be there at three. No I wont be late.

Sorry.  Sometimes he gets worked up when Mr. Kindergarten gets sick. We all do.  Tensions run high. Whew! I'm sorry it's been so busy. Usually it's...well...It's always this crazy. You've GOT to be joking! I'm so sorry, It's Hubs. I have to....Hi Sweetie. Yeah she's visiting now. Right, so now is NOT a good time. I know you want to talk about it. I don't want to talk about it. Ugh. Stop. Of course I love you. I just said I don't want to talk about it. NO! Goodbye. Sigh...Well, we've been stressed out...butting heads. Oh! No...don't worry we're good. Rock solid. Life is just stressful these days. Bills, Little Guy, Little Guy's dad, the toddler monster, new house, the pets, marriage, a new baby on the way. We're good.

There's just a lot on my plate these days.  I'm fine. Eat!
