Getting a Little Anxious Here!

What a day today has been! We had our friends Celia and Rebecca over for a playdate this morning. Well, Parker is in this phase as of the past two weeks where he likes to strip off his pants and his diaper and walk around with nothing but a shirt and socks on. Once I got over the inital humor of the situation when this first occured, I found it annyoing. Yes, I love my little boy to pieces but putting his diaper and pants back on five times in an hour is tiring. So I have tried putting him in the tightest pants I could find. I put him some tighter elastic waist jeans this morning knowing that his friend Celia would be over (remember they are both about 2 1/2)...needless to say, while Rebecca and I were visiting, Parker and Celia were playing in his play room. A short time later, Parker graced us with his presence (his naked presence that is) and Celia (who was laughing this goofy cute little laugh) followed behind him with her shirt off. After Rebecca and I got done laughing, we promptly clothed our children again. However, Parker and Celia both proceeded to declothe again until they both finally got in trouble. You gotta love toddlers. Oh and now my son has taught one of my best friend's kiddos to take her clothes off for laughs. Great!

This afternoon, I noticed that my housekeeper who we have had forever, got some kind of cleaning solution on our new comforter and now it has little bleach spots on it. I mean come on! We get new bedding every blue moon and I really splurged on this bedding! We have literally had it about two weeks. I know she didn't mean to do it but ARGHHH!!!

Later on we had a tech guy come over to install a DVR...well when he came back down from the attic, he asked me if I had a litterbox upstairs. I said, "No, Why?" I then asked him if it smelled like cat pee up there and he said yes. He was such a nice guy but this confirmed my thoughts. One of our beloved cats suddley went blind at the end of last year. He has now taken to leaving little gifts upstairs in Parker's play room. I have cleaned, scrubbed, etc but to no avail. I was so close to ripping out the carpet with my bare hands today. We don't want to get new carpet until our cat passes on because he will just continue to do the same thing. Needless to say, we will be getting new carpet before our daughter comes.

Lastly, GWCA has still not received our application. Of course this is not their fault but that is what happens when you get so excited about something. You want things to happen immediately. They should get it tomorrow so I will call again. Of course they will then have to approve us so I am waiting on pins and needles until I hear from them. My friend Erin at GWCA has been a great sounding board.

Enough for today...I am going to see if my kiddo still has his clothes on!
