Loser!

I am a loser. Not in the sense that I don't win anything, or that I'm generally uncool. Even those these each may be fairly true they are not what I mean. I am referring to actually misplacing things. Everything.

My biggest beef is with keys. I have a uncanny ability to lose keys. Just last week I lost three sets. One of which has yet to be found. I lost big Sal's keys twice. The first time I swore try had to be locked in the car. So I called a locksmith and paid $130 for the car o be unlocked. They were not there. Finally after days of searching and just before be we're going to have a new key cut ($250ish) Steve, my moms husband, found them in a pair of shoes. The first reaction of a typical mother of small children would be to blame them. I asked them if they had seen them, they hadn't so I knew they had nothing to do with it. I'm not, however a typical mother, I am a loser.

I thought I lost my checkbook yesterday. That's a problem for a number of reasons. I found it though so its all good. Now I just have to mail the check. Getting that done may be a feat as well.

It's been pretty much a year since I updated this. A lot has changed. A lot has not. Jr now prefers to be called Sal. In fact, he rather hates being called Junior. I'm working on training myself to call him Sal. Karina likes to go by KJ. Sal is five years old already and KJ is three. Time flys!

KJ is Miss Imagination. She is always playing and telling stories. She has an imaginary pink doggy and pink kitty. They are her pets. She knows they are not real, but Sal does not like her to pretend. He is all about reality. Somewhat the opposite of his little sister.

Sal wants to know how things work. Real things, like cars, ad non real things too. He asked me last night how does wishing on a star work. He wanted to know how the wishes come true. I told him they have to be reasonable and you have to do what you can to help them but he was having none of it. His wishes are reasonable he says.
Sal loves video games and TV. He also likes to play when someone plays with him, someone who is not KJ. It bothers me that he doesn't like to play much. He also doesn't like to draw, color or read, unless being read to. I e
Are these two things connected, his non imaginative-ness and his dislike of all things not gamer? I don't know. I wish I could be around more to play with him. It would help if I were not so lazy when I am around, but that's kind of a me problem and I'm working on it, thank you.

I got a blogger app so I'm going to try to keep up to date with all that is going on with us but, I make no promises.

Damn it!

When I told Jr it was time to head to the bath he got very frustrated and said "damn it" while slamming his fists on the couch. Immediately I told him that is not ok and we do not use bad words like that. I sent him upstairs to get ready to get in the bath. I grabbed some pjs from a basket and followed a moment later. When I hot to his room o heard him crying and telling KJ what a bad boy he was. Then I asked him why he was so upset. (i Don't believe anyone has ever told him he was a bad kid) he proceeded to tell me he does bad things like steal toys from people and say bad words and take KJ's toys. - While he was listing I thought of a few more (hitting sister, etc.) but decided not to mention them at that time ;)

It was heart breaking. Also slightly amusing. I tried to tell him he is not a bad person for saying bad words, and if it makes him feel so bad not to do it again. He was hysterical so I dont think any of it sunk in.

He had a long day and took it out on himself.

He also has newly discovered allergies. The picture shows his puffy swolen eyes, the result of tears and leaving the allergy medicine at someone else's house. He wanted me to take his picture bit refused to smile. The end was rough, but Daddy says they had a good day visiting family.

Karina got her hair done!

What do you get for a 2 year old girl that doesn't need anything? A trip to the salon! Every time we have taken Jr to get a haircut Karina wants one too.

She got a trim, all sorts of fun smelling product and a pretty bow! She enjoyed it, I wonder if it foreshadows her future!
