The Peanut Chronicles

Thursday, September 28, 2006

uh. yeah.

My plan is in motion. Oh yes. It is a go. Now that I know how much I am getting paid, the secret plots are beginning. The bear will be so surprised this Christmas.

Other then that, my first night on call wasn’t bad. I expect Friday and Saturday to be pretty bad though because that’s when the teens want to go out and according to law, they HAVE TO BE supervised at ALL TIMES.

Uh. Yeah.

I still like my job a lot although the wall of the damn of crisis burst open for one woman today and her kids. It wasn’t too bad. Can’t say anymore but she was very melodramatic about the daughter kicking a flagpole.

Uh. Yeah.

I came home and gave Nut his usual bath. He is now sitting like a champ but can’t pull himself up into the sitting position. We have to put him there and then he can hold it. He babbled for his ducks (YES!!!!!! HE LIKES THE DUCKS!!!!!!) And read his waterproof story with me. Then he held the book and splashed it around. Afterwards, we put a t-shirt on him and tucked him in and read goodnight moon.

I HATE THAT BOOK!!! IT DRIVES ME NUTS!!! IT’S THE COLORS!!! FOR FRIGGING SAKE…. GREEN AND ORANGE?!?!

But did anyone else notice that it ties into the Runaway Bunny? Exactly…

Nut likes goodnight moon and so I would be a bad mother to deprive him of it so….

Uh. Yeah.

Now I am here, alone, and relaxing for a few minutes. It’s kind of nice. I noticed today that I lost hearing (yes more hearing) in the right ear. It feels like there is air in it but there isn’t. Crap. That really sucks. I suppose it could be worse. It could be my GOOD ear that’s giving me shit. But no… so far it’s just the bad one.

Oh, and guess what I found in storage yesterday? I’ll give you a hint… I am pretty sure it’s the devil. Give up? Yeah. I found the Elmo doll. And it still works!! Scary shit. Let’s talk devil for a second. Do you realize that the new Elmo TMX rolls on the ground when laughing? And it doesn’t look like a seizure. It doesn’t look like a heroin overdose. It looks like a tantrum. As scorp put it, “who wants to have their kids see that?” Further proof that Elmo is the devil. Seriously. I mean it. I may be delusional but I can safely say that it is evil in a sock puppet.

The sad thing is I didn’t capitalize any of the Elmo references above and the spell and grammar check knew who Elmo was to correct me.

Uh. Yeah.
