[March 2014]

Emerson would come up to me and grab my pregnant tummy and say "She's so cute I'm gonna die!"...(if you've ever watched Despicable Me when Agnes gets her new unicorn stuffed animal at the fair she says "It's so fluffy I'm gonna die!"...yah, Emerson is a funny movie quoter)

[June 2013]

We went over to Kari and Joeys new house and Emerson was jumping on the tramp with Joey. Emerson says to Joey: "Why do you have such freakishly large hands?"...uh...yeah...sorry about that...Emerson likes to quote movies (Wreck it Ralph.)

Emerson is now a Sunbeam! When I asked him if his new teacher was awesome he said "No, she is pretty."

[Sept. 21, 2012]

Out in my garage I have a huge cooler that is used to store flowers when I am doing weddings. It has glass sliding doors on the front. Emerson had climbed into it, shut the doors, pressed his body up against the glass and started to scream "You've got the wrong BUZZ! You've got the wrong BUZZ!" (That kid sure loves his movie quotes...Toy Story 2)

Emerson calls his pajamas "Kajamas"

[December 2011]

Audrey and I were watching tv when a proactive acne commercial came on. The girl on tv was talking about how proactive has helped her to look better...Audrey turns to me and says "But we already look good don't we mom!?!"

Emerson: "Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall, eating his curds and whey."

[June 2011]

"Mom, you like a princess"

"Mom, I like your hair"

To the man helping us at the store "I like your shoes"

"Are you mommy?"

"No I not mommy, I emeson"

"Are you daddy?"

"Are you diana?"

"No I not dienana, I emeson"

etc.

Later that night I tried to play the game again and I asked "Are you mommy?"---"No, I not mommy I stinky."

[March 2011] "Why 'cause mommy?" --Emerson

[Feb. 16, 2011] Audrey was in her room having a time out, and I set the buzzer for her so she would know when she could come out. When it started to beep Emerson yelled "cookie done!"

[Jan 2010] Emerson:

"Mommy frocken. fix it!" (mommy brocken, fix it!)

"I own like it." = I don't like it.

"Mommy help" as he is standing at the bottom of the stairs with his size 10 boots on which are about 4 sizes too big, but he insists on wearing.

Emerson really likes to color. (if he ever finds a pen, he will pull up his sleeves and start coloring on his arms.) Yesterday he kept bringing me the paper he was coloring on and saying "Mommy look" then I would tell him I liked it and he would go color some more and a few minutes later he would be back again "Mommy look!"...then I heard him asking audrey for "pink" and Audrey said no that's yellow. Emerson then said "ellow?"

[November 2010] A few days ago we are listening to the radio and audrey says "Mom, this is the Beatles!" I was really surprised that she knew and I asked "How do you know that?" and she responded "because it sounds like them!"

he he. That's my girl! :)

[Oct 31-Nov 2010] Every day since Halloween whenever Emerson wakes up in the morning or from a nap, he says: "ahn canee" interpreted "I want candy?" and if you tell him no, he pouts like no one ever pouted before! ha ha. Yah, you stick out that bottom lip!

[October (ish) 2010] Audrey is always wanting "Ronald Noodles" for lunch. yum.

[August 19, 2010] My aunt Diana (and family) took Audrey and Emerson canoeing while David and I had to go to a meeting for our house. On their drive they passed a school, and Audrey said "Why are people still at that school?" My cousin Maria said "Some people go to school in the summer to get ahead." and Audrey replied "Why do some people not have heads?" A very good question indeed. =-))

[June 9th (ish) 2010] Emerson can now say Audrey "Aw Dah"

Patience...patience...PATIENCE!!!!!! argh.

Rumors are flying around that we aren't going to be able to have our open house until May 26th. 2 entire weeks later than we wanted, than I needed... I feel so discouraged. I don't know how much longer I can take this. I'm so tired. Beyond tired...

I'm tired of living in a disaster zone because I don't have the time to clean. And having my landlord text me because she needs to show the apartment to future renters and I'm not home, and my place is a mess, and so she has to clean up for me, make my bed, hide the laundry, vacuum the floor. And I know it is going to happen again because I just don't have any time to clean. I'm tired of driving a car that is covered in mud, CAKED in mud both inside and out, with wrappers, and dirty work clothes, and muddy boots, and rotten forgotten lunches and a wet floor because that dang water bottle keeps spilling... and peanut shells? WHY ARE THERE PEANUT SHELLS!!!! I'm Tired of eating pizza all the time because I don't have time to cook. Not to mention all the other healthy stuff like chicken nuggets, hot dogs, pudding cups, and more frozen foods than I think I have ever eaten in my entire life. It makes me want to throw up. I'm tired of not seeing my husband before 10 o'clock at night. I WANT MY LIFE BACK!!!

I feel like I've been such a terrible mom...because I have been. Audrey is always asking me: "Why are you so ornery?" "Why don't you ever play with us?" "Why are you being mean" and I feel awful about it. But I just can't fix it. I am having a hard time. A really hard time. I just want to go to bed. All the time. From the moment I wake up. Just let me sleep. please. please. PLEASE!!!

Whelp. There you have it. Perhaps I got a little carried away...but sometimes I think it is just best to let it all out, right?!? Needless to say, news of a postponed open house has had a very bad effect on me. I guess I'll go dig into that jar of Easter candy and wallow in self pity. And then go to bed and get up at 6:30 AM (like I have for the past 26 Saturdays in a row) so I can go work on the house that I know someday I will love. someday. sigh.

I've been thinking about you a lot lately. I'll be praying for you and that the next few weeks will go by super quick and as painless as possible.; April 29, 2011 at 8:31 PM
