The Photo Shoot

This is one of the proofs from Miss Peanut Butters shoot today. I love it. I had them done by Kelly at OhShoot Photography. I cannot wait to get my CD. She was so good with her and Miss PB was being the run around toddler that she is. We did the shoot at Oshkosh's South Park. They have a river and there were tons of geese and ducks and Peanut Butter wanted to chase them. At on point it looked like she was herding geese it was funny. They had a huge play set there that we played on after the shoot. PB was lovin' the wall climbing thing to the slide. I can't get over how much she loves to climb.
I stopped at the Old Navy outlet and got a couple things, namely a halloween costume. I know it is early, but they are on sale and I really like the skunk. I'm glad I didn't order it online since I had her try on the 12-24mos and it still fits. I think the 2-3T would be way too big for her. I was going to have her go as Boo from Monsters Inc, but the costumes are going for over 60 dollars on Ebay. I could do the pink tee shirt thing, but I'm kidding myself thinking I can make a decent Boo monster costume.
I tried stopping in the Child's Place, but it was just mayhem with PB she was running all over and to be honest I'm not that into their clothes. They have some funky stuff. So we hit the road. As tired out as she was tonight she still went down screaming and crying.
As far as the Dr. appointment. He is pretty decent. He did check for a hernia. The reason he thinks it may be related to the c-sect is because I never had this before the c and I have been getting this pain off and on since I had it. I did have a scan a few weeks after the c-sect and they didn't see anything. I finally went back about it since it seems to be lingering longer than it has in the past and April's posts got to me.
I forgot to mark my 300th post, argh. So I will have to come up with something else. I think my year at this is coming up soon.

The Dr

I did get the stomach checked out. It doesn't appear to be anything. He said to take Advil 3 times a day for a week to see if it gets better. He said things might still be out of wack from my c-sect.

randomness

Sorry Viking fans. Rodgers actually didn't look too bad. I also rawked in my fantasy leagues kickin' a$$ and takin' names.

I need a new way to put Miss Peanut Butter to bed. Ever since we took the nuk away, she doesn't go down without a fight. I have tried sitting there until she falls asleep. This worked a couple nights, but now she sits and says "mommy" over and over for an hour. We are doing the cry it out right now and it is killing me. Maybe I just need to get over it. I'd like to move her to a normal bed at some point and right now she would not stay in it. Thankfully, she can't escape the crib yet. That is what those great genes that put her in the 20th percentile for height will get you.

We are getting photos tomorrow. I am excited. My friend had them done by this woman and hers came out really nice. Sorry Jes, I swear I will make it over by you someday. I will post some photos when I get my grubby hands on them. I am hoping that Peanut Butter will cooperate. Keep your fingers crossed.

I have something weird going on in my abdomen. I get a sharp pain when I cough or sneeze. I am hoping it isn't a hernia or something. I should really get it looked at, I will make an appointment tomorrow, maybe...

We added to PB's shoe collection yesterday. My friend, whose daughter is 6 mos older, gave my a bunch of cute ones. She also gave me a bunch of clothes, but we so have different tastes. I usually only pick out about a fourth of what she gives me. I always feel bad about it.

How To Eat a DQ Oreo Blizzard

J decided we needed Dairy Queen the other night. I told him to get Miss Peanut Butter a small oreo one, when he returned I realized that the small wasn't as small as I had hoped it would be. I decided to put some in a bowl for PB; she said, "NO!" and then, "NO, NO, NO!" I asked her if she wanted to eat from the cup and she vigorously nodded yes. I hand her the cup and......

she already has two spoons and goes to town.

She proceeds to eat in a double fisting manner getting
the eye-key in as fast as it can be shoveled.

She manages to eat more eye-key than I had thought she would,
then again, it is ice cream and who doesn't eat more than they should.

She is prouder than all get up that it is all gone.

The next day I get out the left over that I had in the bowl, which thankfully had a lid, and she ran to the garbage wanting to pull the blizzard cups out. Apparently it isn't a blizzard unless it is in the cup. But I made her eat it from the bowl anyway.

Hmm Decisions

Argh, I actually liked McCain's speech.

Thank You for Banking With Us

It was a beautiful afternoon, cool, yet warm enough for shorts. I decided to take advantage of the afternoon to try and get a little bit of a run/walk in. I load up Peanut Butter and we head to the bank to set up a saving account for her. We get to the bank, cash in all the change from her piggy bank and ask to set up an account. We end up having to wait a bit for the next person available to set up an account. They happen to be sharing goldfish crackers today which is more than fine with Miss PB. She proceeds to eat about 10 half filled dixie cups and has maneuvered herself out of the stroller as they finally call for us. I ask her to sit like a big girl in a chair next to me in the tiny office and she does for all of 10 seconds. It then becomes a wrestling match for the next 10 minutes which feels like an eternity since she doesn't fight fair. I'm getting my eyes gouged out, arms pinched, and she is scratching any exposed skin. She takes off out of the office and I chase her, nab her, and give her another cup of the goldfish to try an appease her, to which, I'm sure to the delight of the account manager, PB throws across her desk. I am beyond anger at this point and I take her to the hallway and she then spits the goldfish which she is chewing all over my neck and chest. Did I mention they were the colored goldfish? So I have a smattering of pink/red goldfish stains across my grey t-shirt. I put her in the stroller and give her the you need a time out which she screams in rage about. The account manager is running to the tellers to get the money deposited and returns with a packet and says since, "I see she's not in such a good mood, I'll give you this, give me a call if you have any questions." Now get out and thank you for banking with us. No, not really, but I'm sure that's what she was thinking. We get out the doors and my demon child then becomes happy go lucky again and talks and points and acts like the last 20 minutes didn't happen.

How was your day?

This and That

I couldn't wait until Friday to share this one, but I will the full story on Friday. This is how Miss Peanut Butter thinks DQ blizzards should be eaten.

I went shopping on Sunday will full intentions of blowing my wad of cash from my rummage sale on something good, but no. I was totally lame and practical and bought 2 very badly needed new bras on 40% off. Can I tell you how much I hate spending money on undergarments? A winter jacket that I used a gift card for half since I didn't had one that fit anymore in the good way. I got some household supplies from Target along with 2 pairs of shoes on clearance for little miss. A few scrapbooking items. I didn't find a single thing I liked in Old Navy and that rarely happens and nothing for the girl, that never happens. Though I did like a couple things, but I don't pay full price there. I will wait for a sale. And to top it off I bought groceries. I spent a little more than I had wanted because I kept picking up things saying ooh I have a little extra for that. I am a celebrity too, since I bought some Honest Tea, I love sublime mate. Yummy. I bought 2 other flavors to try too. And like that, the cash was gone.Though I still have a little money in the bank. I wish I would have just blown it at Dick's Sports on the $299 elliptical machine.

I am depressed to hear they have now postponed Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince until next freaking summer. How do you go from Nov 21st 2008 to next July 17th 2009???? I am so let down. I am really excited for this one. The trailer has me so intrigued. Bollocks!

I found Miss PB with a nuk in her mouth at daycare to day. She was napping, but I was a little upset. I guess we should have just taken it from daycare. It was a transiton day where new kids were moving in to this room and a bunch still had their nuks, she had a hard time napping. I was like yeah, well she has a hard time napping for us too, in fact on my four days off, she napped once, the one I was shopping and wasn't home to enjoy it. It has been almost 2 weeks without it. Sigh.

Well, that's all for today. I have to get my hinder to bed. Sorry for no coments today, I'll catch up with you all tomorrow.
