obligatory pen photo--doesn't every parent have one?

[same_sky]

So I was trying to make a grocery list while Evelyn was watching Pippi. She was playing pretty quietly until she started saying "lipstick, lipstick", and looked down to see her playing with the contents of Mommy's purse, and specifically, an uncapped pen. I was able to take it away from her before she managed to draw on her lips but apparently, that was still a little too late. At least she didn't put her eye out with it.... sigh.

Great day for her to skip a nap, huh? I was really counting on this blessedly baby-free block of time to get things done, but after two hours of trying to get her to sleep, I finally gave up. She really has craptastic timing sometimes. At least she should be easy to get to sleep tonight.

I don't have a pen pic, but I have one of my sister's girls, which you have probably seen:



And Max has given up naps on weekends, so I lost my baby-free block. Somehow he sleeps 2-2.5 hours every day at school anyway, making bedtime a battle during the week!

That's nothing, Mama! I'm glad she didn't poke her eye out.

Give her a hit of gin and tonic. She'll go right down.

I was just thinking of you as I sit here and eat my cake and ice cream (not so sugar free). I love Breyers! Why did I think I hated it? I think it's because I had it at my grandma's house so it was probably sugar-free, fat free and three years old. I need to lay off the Breyers. It is so so so so so gooooooood.

Lol - but thank goodness she still has both eyes.
