Taking Kolette to the Obgyn...hmmm...

Yesterday was my yearly appointment. I don't mind going b/c I love my doctor and his nurse and quite a few other people there. So it is like old home week. The morn didn't start off so good though. I was painting my toes on the edge of the bathtub b/c a girl must have pretty toenails when going to get a Pap. I told Kolette to not come any closer and that translated to please come closer and spill my red nailpolish into the tub. Amazingly enough after wiping, nail polish remover and a ton of soft scrub w/bleach it came out. Yeah!!!! Of course my toes look quite childish after going to get a pedi a few weeks ago. Oh well...

So I decided since Ian was w/Donnie I would just take Kolette w/me. Really what could the harm be in that? Stupid question. Anyhow I was susposed to be there by 1 but didn't even get out till 3 b/c of the doctor being in surgery. So Kolette asked tons of questions in her not so quiet voice in the waiting room. One of them being "How old was I when I was born?" Of course the older gal next to us thought it was funny.

Then we go into the room and I get to put on the beautiful gown that opens in the front and listen to multiple questions of why I am doing that. None of my answers satisfied her. I told her that when you are a grown lady you have to come in and make sure everything is working good. Her obsession w/wanting boobs of her own caused even more questions. She now understands exactly WHERE babies come out. Oops! What was I thinking again thinking this would be so easy. Oh, I remember I used to take Corrin all the time when she was little and she never asked me anything. When will I understand that Corrin and Kolette only have DNA in common and it stops there?

Of course I had originally asked my single brother to watch the younger kids while I went. He thought my saying it was a girly appt was a cover for I am pregnant. I told him that I am not but apparantly he doesn't believe me. He went to the school to get the older kids and said s/thing to my friend who had to set him straight. I don't think he even believed her b/c I get home and he asked when I am due. Ahhh... now people who might have overheard him will mistake my tummy that needs more sit ups for s/thing else. Oh well it adds a little mystery to life.

So the conclusion is will I be stupid enough to take her next year too? Time will tell if my brain is on freeze that day or not.

Chewing gum

Have you ever wondered where a good place to store chewed gum would be? I am crazy b/c I think it should be in the garbage. Kolette on the other hand had another idea which I don't think or at least I sure hope she doesn't try again. She put it in her panties!!! Seriously she gets up from her nap that she happened to take in just her panties and it is the day after Halloween. I notice her panties are all bunched up in the front. I pull them away from her skin and for a split second I think s/think medically is seriously wrong w/her. But then I ask her if it is candy. She says yes. So I lay her on the counter w/a towel and use a warm rag to get it off. WRONG! It is only getting worse. So I figure out it is gum. After some soap we finally get it off. Needless to say she has been banned from gum for a week. Crazy girl what will she think of next? I am afraid to ask...

New bed woes

Ok, after all the excitement over getting a new "big girl bed" the measurements were all wrong. Ok, I guess I could have measured the headboard but I didn't notice the 6" difference. Really why are there full & Queen? With only a diff of 6" they should ditch the full size and just go w/the queen. So after tearing down the crib on Fri, Donnie came home and put the frame together and it didn't match up on the headboard. Darnet, it dosen't fit. Since I got the mattress from a place off of craigslist and it is a warehouse I had to leave a message. So Kolette slept w/Corrin Fri night and she could talk to the wall till who knows what hour and Corrin is tired. Corrin tried to tell her to go to sleep and turned herself around to get away from the chatter. Corrin fell asleep and when I checked on them Kolette was still awake. So Sat night they ALL slept in Connor's room. They must have been tired b/c they all fell asleep. Tonite she is back w/Corrin. Lord willing she will shut her eyes and her mouth. The mattress guy called me and left a message while I was at church and said he is out until Wed can we wait? Huh??? The plastic tore a tiny bit on the mattress so he better take it back. Grrr... Hopefully soon she will be back in her room and hopefully stay in there w/the added freedom. Good night...
