Day 250 - Oh that's where that went....

Several days ago I had JUST given the little diva a sippy cup when she asked me for it again. I looked EVERYWHERE... ok well not "everywhere" because if I had I would have found it as the damn thing didn't technically vanish into thin air. I searched in all of the "usual" places and some of the not so usual places and finally just gave her a new cup knowing full well that the old one would turn up sooner than later.

It did.

I almost wish it hadn't.

I found it this afternoon when I opened the cupboard to grab a big serving plate. There it was sitting peacefully on top of the plates just above the K-Cups. I somehow missed the Diva stashing it there. She needed her hands free to quickly help herself to some K-Cups when I opened the cupboard to grab a bowl several days ago. She likes to shake the K-Cups and then leave them in random places for me to discover and brew at my leisure.

The milk in this cup no longer looks like milk. It is, in fact, pretty damn terrifying-looking (yes we are going to pretend that "terrifying-looking" is a good and useful literary description). I haven't decided the fate of this cup yet but I think my inner "germ-a-phobe" is going to throw it out. Hell I'm scared the content will jump out and devour our cat if I open the bottle. Once it's ingested the cat it may turn on me - I'm not sure that is a risk I'm willing to take.

Hints, tips? Would you wash or chuck this monstrosity. My best guesstimates suggest that the cup has been in there for 2 or 3 days. I would post a picture but I'd hate to be responsible for you having to clean vomit out of your keyboards.

On that slimy, curdled and wholly unappetizing note I wish everyone a very happy long weekend.

YAY for Monday's spent lazily with family :D

Day 249 - Shopping success - well partly!

We had a lovely/crazy/busy/tantrum/giggle/smile filled day! Yep all of these things can and do happen on a daily basis. First off my brother stopped in for lunch this morning which was great - the little Diva loves hanging out with her uncle M! He was definitely not allowed to drink his coffee more than he gave her snuggles.

Then I TRIED and TRIED to convince the Diva to take a nap. She assured me that I was stark raving mad and got progressively more and more tantrummy as the afternoon progressed. When Dadoos arrived to go shopping with us she promptly fell asleep in the car as soon as we got going. It's just as well I have no sense of direction and took a lot longer to get there that any normal-directioned person would - she got a semi-short-but-decent nap in.

She was quite the little monster while we shopped. She wouldn't let anyone but mommy hold her so trying on things resulted in some screeching. I did manage to get two lovely outfits though and when we go look for the last one on Sunday she will stay home and hang out with daddy!

Happy Friday folks - Long weekend here we come!!

Day 248 - Happiness :)

It's late and I'm way too sleepy to be typing so here's a quote to mull over - onward and upward to a more positive attitude folks! No not what I just typed there.. the line below ->


Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.
- Mahatma Ganghi


Also  - Happy Thursday - I'm going shopping with my mom in law and my little Diva tomorrow - gonna be fun!! :D

Day 247 - Better day :)

So today went pretty well - the little Diva and I stayed home and took it easy. We really didn't do too much of anything - there was WAY too much TV watching and not enough "potty time!" The little Diva is still WAY more snugly than usual. She often want hugs; but when she's not feeling well she wants them even more and I don't blame her - when I feel crappy I want hugs too! We have plans to meet up at a park with three of her little friends tomorrow morning so I'm hoping we have another good night and a happy little Diva in the morning so that we can go ahead with those plans.

I don't have too much more to type - I'm pretty tired and hoping that tomorrow brings a GREAT day. Who knows I might bake something gluten free and yummy if the mood strikes.

Until tomorrow Happy Wednesday people - seriously though where has the week gone!?!

Day 246 - BARF

Our poor little Diva has thrown up twice tonight. She's asleep now and I'm hoping she has a good night and wakes up feeling better. I hate how helpless I feel when the Little Diva isn't feeling well. There's not much you can do except clean up the barf and offer a nice warm bath and a hug. We're just trying to make sure she keeps drinking fluids and hopefully tomorrow is a better day.

if you'll excuse me I need to go make some tea and study some Urdu before bed :)

Happy Tuesday folks!

Day 245 - Not in the mood to type!

There I said it. I'm not in the blogging mood today. I have a dishwasher waiting to be unpacked and then packed, laundry waiting to be thrown into the dryer and more waiting to be folded and lets not forget the messy kitchen.  *SIGH* so much for my plan to get the house tidy today. It's Sunday night and the house is probably messier than it was yesterday. Here's hoping I get some energy and just get it done tomorrow. Wish me luck or show up with a broom... :D

 I found this quote on Facebook while wasting the time I should have been using to clean. It applies to life in general and I need to take this advice:

You can't control everything. Sometimes you just need to relax and have faith that things will work out. Let go a little and just let life happen. - Kody Keplinger

Happy Monday :) May your week ahead bring sunshine and happiness!

DAy 244 - Bon Voyage JubJub

I can't believe it but our kitty is sitting at the Airport waiting to board his flight. He has one stop over where he will spend the night at a cat hotel before continuing on to South Africa. He will be dropped off at my sister's home on Monday. I hope and pray that the little furry bugger is happy there. He better be - my sister is awesome, and if anyone is going to love our little pooper as much, if not more than we do, it would be her!

....


Okay so I wrote that HOURS ago... after cleaning the toys downstairs I came up to blog and the little Diva decided nap time was over. Just as well - I needed a snuggle with my little goober. We had a good day - despite the fact that I felt sad that JubJub was actually leaving the country today. A small part of me kept wishing there was something we could have done - today just felt a little "final". I am glad though that he is on his way and we have done what we can to give him a better home.

I'm thinking tomorrow needs to be a low-key day. I need to clean and get the house re-set for the week ahead.

Happy Sunday everyone :)
