more anxiety

[mellybrelly]

My little baby who sat so peacefully while I showered every day for almost 8 months has now decided that the devil is eating me and he must scream while I am behind the vile curtain. Even a nurse didn't calm him, cheerios did the trick. Now he's sitting there grinning at me every time I look at him, relieved that he saved me from the evils.

I found a jumperoo on craigslist last night for a decent price, so Paxton and I are going to pick it up. I made it sound like Tim and I were coming to get it, in case they are crazy-craigslist-jumperoo-killers. Then off to Carters because everything is half price and my baby needs some new sleepers.

She doesn't know yet, but if we aren't too tired, I might call vitainpalus to see if we can stop in for a short visit.

I started watching Firefly and one of the episodes freaked me out before bed. It wouldn't have been scary if I were watching it with Tim downstairs, but I was watching it in the dark, in bed, with a sleeping baby who may be able to save me from the shower devil, but cannot save me from my own imagination. Thankfully I fell asleep without too much issue.

lol @ "crazy-craigslist-jumperoo-killers"

[mellybrelly.livejournal.com]

NEVER KNOW :P

[msmcfeeley.livejournal.com]

Good luck with the crazy jumparoo killers!
Oh--and I thought Tim was coming home yesterday and you had some crazy amount of driving to do to pick him up? Guess it wasn't yesterday. lol

[mellybrelly.livejournal.com]

She didn't kill me, thank goodness!

Tim comes home NEXT Friday.. a whole other week with him away!!!

[msmcfeeley.livejournal.com]

Damn, that's a long time, esp considering you were gone 2 weeks and had just a few days before he left!
Gah!

[mellybrelly.livejournal.com]

I know, it's crazy. A month apart, except for a couple days in the middle! And he's gone on our anniversary, or rather, gets in the night of our anniversary!

off topic: the jumparoo vid at FB is... haha probably not what you actually wanted :) although I was amused by it anyway... lol just checking! :D

[mellybrelly.livejournal.com]

hahah, I deleted it, I have no idea what happened, but thank goodness I didn't say anything bad while I thought the video was off. LOL

[msmcfeeley.livejournal.com]

lol yeah, I was hoping you would but alas... hahaha

[mellybrelly.livejournal.com]

too bad. I didn't even watch the whole thing I was so embarrassed. hahahah

[msmcfeeley.livejournal.com]

I usually have my volume off and I clicked play and then thought maybe there would be something worth hearing so I unmuted it and you were singing ;) heh

[mellybrelly.livejournal.com]

oh geeze, blush

I am envious that Pax let you shower peacefully for eight months! For the past several I have to wait to shower either when Jon is home or she is asleep.

I got a little worried when I went alone with Emilie to pick up the jogging stroller, so I don't blame you!

I edited this because I'd linked to a coupon, but the fine print says it can't be used on entire store sales. Oh well. Also I don't know if you have a Sam's Club but they sell Carter's clothes and they are cheaper than this sale, even. =)

[mellybrelly.livejournal.com]

Ahh that's okay, I changed my mind about Carters anyway, I went to a Super Target and got everything I needed from three stores in one.. ended up just buying him some sleepers there and one was on sale anyway!

Turns out the woman I bought it from was so sweet and friendly! It makes me a little nervous though, going to a stranger's house.

I am lucky I've had daily showers. I think he'll just have to spend 10 minutes in his jumperoo and mommy will shower with the door open because I LOVE my daily showers.

[viridescence13]

Cool! No Super Targets near me, which makes me sad...but I love Target in general.

Yeah, the woman I got the stroller from was quite nice as well...you just never know but I'd like to think that most people are!

Oh, I can have a daily shower, just not whenever I want it. :) Emilie was quite happy to hang out in her rocker or exersaucer for awhile...but then once she could crawl she would just scream, scream, scream. And of course I had to put the rocker away because she could tip it over (it's out again now that she can climb in and out by herself). No way could I listen to that for 10 mins, so I usually take my showers at night now. Relaxing, at least.

Paxton is really too big for the bouncy chair I put him in while I shower.. such a bummer. I think I'll have to distract him with something else. OMG HE'S CRYING AGAIN. My poor baby.

[mellybrelly.livejournal.com]

finally he napped. :D

[failureface.livejournal.com]

I have to ask - which Firefly episode was it and what was so scary about it? I don't remember any of them being particularly frightening.

Now - I'm off to find some haggis neeps and tatties!

I love you.

[mellybrelly.livejournal.com]

It was the one where they found the ship with one on it, except then they found all the dead people, and the sister was walking around talking about ghosts and the guy went crazy and sliced his tongue and killed a bunch of people..

I know haggis, little more worried about neeps and tatties!

xo

I put a video up on facebook for you and it turned out to be a video of the plant. lol I guess I thought I was recording and I wasn't and then I "stopped" recording and I really started. I took it down and am putting up a new one of Pax.

[mellybrelly.livejournal.com]

*no one on it

[failureface.livejournal.com]

Ah yeah - I guess that one *was* a little creepy. Great episode though.

LOL - neeps and tatties = turnips and mashed potatoes. Mission accomplished, it was awesome. Though I missed having some someone to share it with.

I totally missed the plant video - but I'm sure it was *scintillating*.

Took a ton of photos today - about five of which I'm happy with. Heh. Really need a wide-angle lens attachment for the video camera for those up close shots.

Love you, Hugs and kisses to Paxton.

[mellybrelly.livejournal.com]

You'll have the plant video on the computer for you to watch. I'm just glad I wasn't saying bad things while I thought the camera was off. BAD BABY PAXTON or something :P

Food sounds good! I just put some potatoes in the oven, I'm so hungry, going to do a pork chop with it and some veggies. I've been really lazy with cooking.

[bluejupiter.livejournal.com]

I was wondering this too... but the episode she's talking about was pretty creepy.

[mellybrelly.livejournal.com]

It was just a little dark for being by myself in the house!!

[failureface.livejournal.com]

Probably not a good time to start watching Dexter then...

[mellybrelly.livejournal.com]

no, but lets watch when you get back. I watched part of one at Katrina's house and it was fun.

I put a ton of photos and some videos up for you :)

[hexkitten.livejournal.com]

but I was watching it in the dark, in bed

Have you ever watched "Arrested Development"? There's a moment when one of the younger characters is traumatized because he mistook the TV show "Oz" for the "Wizard of Oz."

[mellybrelly.livejournal.com]

hahahah yes, I love that show and I remember that episode.
