You're Beautiful!

Or so I thought she said.  My Annie, in her almost 3 year old drawl, actually said "You're Puter fell."  And there was my laptop,  On the ground.

Pulled my kids out of daycare last night

What a mess!  I get a call from the owner last night, and she proceeds to tell me that she had taken out a restraining order against one of the employee's boyfriends and he wasn't allowed to go near the daycare center.  WHAT??? 


Apparently this guy does drugs and beats his girlfriend, the employee.  She took out a restraining order against him but he showed up at her home anyway.  He was arrested, but his parents bailed him out.  So he went back over to her house, and he was arrested again.  His parents bailed him out again.  Then he started coming to the daycare to see her.  He was told not to go there, but he went anyway, so the owner took out a restraining order against him for the daycare center.  


Then he took a picture of himself with a shotgun in his mouth and texted it to his girlfriend!!


Yesterday, he showed up at daycare (while the owner was at the dentist, mind you) and his dumbass girlfriend LET HIM IN while my child was there!!!!


Now the owner proceeds to tell me that she fired the girl immediately because the safety of my children is most important.  WHAT???  


First, how could you NOT tell me that you had a restraining order against someone for coming near the daycare center where I trust you with my children.  Second, the first time this guy showed up the girl should have been fired.  


I explained to the owner, that this guy probably doesn't have a job.  He is able to buy his drugs because of his girlfriend's income.  Now he's really going to be pissed because she doesn't have a job either... and he has a shotgun.


I told her there was no way, as a good mother, I could bring my children back.  In today's world, crazy people get mad and then go shoot innocent people!  I just couldn't risk my childrens' lives.  


Sometimes I wish I could be a stay at home mom again.  

There's a frying pan in my bed

Yes, there is a frying pan in my bed.  I didn't put it there.  Annie put it there.  She carried it around with her for 2 hours after dinner.  Then she came up to my room and brought it in bed.  For me, this was a choose your battles moment.  She wasn't swinging it.  She just set her stuffed puppy baby in it.  I guess it made a better chair than the basket she was using yesterday.


I just carried her to her crib, but I didn't put the pan in there with her.  No doubt she'll wake up in the middle of the night crying for it.  She loves to cuddle with things.  It's just that usually they're soft and cuddly, not cold and hard.  Go figure.


All of my children are so unique and different.  But Aniella just beats to the tune of her own drummer.  She is by far the most free thinking.  She cracks me up.

My Annie was sick last night

My poor little baby. This was her first night being sick like that. She woke up about 3am and managed to get sick in her brother's room, my room, the bathroom and kitchen! She finally fell back to sleep around 4:30am.

Then, at 6:30, she woke up, bright eyed with color in her cheeks and was ready to take on the world!

Things My Annie Says

Aniella, also known as MyAnnie, is 2 1/2 years old.  She is, to quote her grandmother, "A Pip."  That is basically a nice way of saying she's a handfull, independent, or even downright obnoxious at times.  You know, a typical 2-year old.  Anyway, she never stops talking.

Ever.

And sometimes she says some pretty cute things (at least they're cute to me).  So I've decided to share them when she does it.  One of my favorites actually got me in trouble about a week ago.

One evening a couple of weeks ago while my husband was on vacation, we were just hanging out at home.  Normally he would have been on his way to work at this time.  The doorbell rings and Annie jumps off the couch and screams at the top of her lungs, "PIZZA!!!!"  My husband looked at me and said, "Order pizza much?"  Then to make it worse, when I answered the door the pizza lady asked me how the kids were doing!  I cooked the following night.
