Woo hoo, a date!

Happy Saturday! I'm so darn tired I don't feel like I can even function, hence my uncleaned house and mountain of clean laundry. It's 8:30am and Tom's turn to sleep in, so I've been sitting here on the computer for 1/2 hour avoiding my housework like the plague that it is. Not to mention on Tom's trip to the grocery store for Pull-Ups last night he bought a dozen Krispy Kremes, so I am officially expecting to gain 20lbs. I have no clue why the man would buy donuts (that are much better warm) the night before he intended them as a meal, so I was stuck microwaving mine this morning to make them a little less rock-hard.

Tonight is date night! I can't wait. We are going to Universal Studios and I just pray my kids are not total monsters for my parents. You just never know. We will probably leave about 4pm and the park closes at 9pm, so hopefully we will have a good chunk of time alone. The longest yet! As long as I don't have to hear flack for Tommie being used to being rocked to sleep if she needs a nap, I will be happy. :) My mom tends to nag me for my kids' sleeping habits, but truthfully I wouldn't have it any other way. I love holding my kids and I think that's what a mommy is for. But I think my mom feels quite inconvenienced when the two times a year she watches the kids, she has to work to put Tommie to sleep. Not that it's ever happened. The last two times she's watched her, she just didn't take a nap at all. So now I just need to sweep & mop my house & clean the guest bathroom so my mom doesn't wonder how she raised such a slob. lol

So my son is just the funniest creature ever. Last weekend "Meet the Parents" was on TV, so I was finally able to see the whole thing. Well the part in which they are talking about milking a cat came on, and ever since then Ronan comes up to us and whispers in our ear at any given time "Teat." He just thinks it is the most hilarious thing ever! I guess he thinks it's a bad word or something the way he acts like he's getting away with something, but I think it is so funny. Who would've known such a word would get such a reaction! Teat.

So, once again, I am just getting fed up with TLOL. Because I have friends over there I've chosen to not close my journal (yet), but sometimes those same people drive me nuts. It's not the lurkers and anonymous negativity that get to me, it's the incredible rudeness that almost everyone reacts with! I know I am guilty of it as well, but today I just really realized how *intolerant* we are all starting to be! For example, this morning someone left a gb entry for someone, simply asking why she didn't have a job since she has no kids and she's only 21. I read the comment- it was by no means rude; the signer was just curious and approached it as respectfully as she could. Well everyone and their brother leaves comments after that saying how it's none of her business; she's jealous; if you don't like it then don't read!, etc. I just don't know when we all got so freaking oversensitive and defensive that no one can even ask a question?! Anyway, sometimes it just seems there is more childish activity over there than genuine support and love. Almost like everyone supports the other just in hopes of drama. I know that's not true, but I know that if it were IRL, someone asking a simple question would not be jumped on simply for being curious!

Well, I've rambled long enough. Gotta get to cleaning my house! Tom has a baseball lesson he's giving later this afternoon, so I want to shower and get the house done before the kids' naps. Have I mentioned I can't wait for our date?!!
