LORI Blog: OMG, Holidays!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

AAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
GGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Holy cow on a hamburger bun, Batmanda! Holidays make my family look NORMAL!!

It was insane-o, to put it mildly. First, my school can't seem to make up it's mind. "Yes, we're here on Wednesday. Oh, Lori's room is closed cuz all her teachers took a vacation." AH! Thankfully, Gramma Tere was MORE than happy to have me over for the day, which worked out for Mom. She went a little PSYCHO-MOM this week.
(See, Dad decided he'd go play football with his former NFL brother and his still-a-young-pup other brother. According to Dad, he made the highlight reel by "juke-boxing the blitzkreig and scoring the touch up". Football is SO weird. But what that meant for Mom was a Daddy that couldn't walk... or lift anything... or carry me... or play with me... or really do much of anything but sit with his foot up while it healed. Momma was a very stressed out lady.)
So, Christmas Eve Day (o.O') was with my mommy's family, AAAAAAALL day, which was a blast. I ate pears and grapes and pineapple and drank juice and walked around and looked at hte fish and didn't speak a word of english all day! ^.^ I iz tri-lingual!! Mom spend the day with Daddy. They went to the doctor to shoot his foot with extra-rays of power, and Momma said that it wasn't broken. Daddy still has to wear a post-operation bootie on his foot so he can walk around, which he's doing better with now. Christmas day was so fun that it would take so many words to describe that I think I'll run out of them before I even get halfway thru with it, and so since pictures are worth a thousand words, here's my Christmas in a photo MONTAGE!!

Click the picture!

Ah! Insane-o family, how I love thee.
Let me just turn the ringer off and
let all your calls go to voicemail for a few hours
so I can catch on some very important things......

Like leveling my warlock.
Now, where am I supposed to go to turn in that quest again...?

At Long Last: An update!

After having Josh complain to me that I don't update enough, I figured that it was time for a fairly significant update, complete with loads of pictures, cuz that's what he looks for.

First up, is the meeting between my daughter Lori and her maternal great-grand mother, "Abuelita". This is a treasured picture and memory, for Abuelita is from Colombia, and this is most likely the only time she'll ever get to meet Lori-bug. I'm so happy for this chance.




Dinner got messy one night, as you can see, when Lori tried to feed herself Gerber Spagetti-Os. Daddy thought it was too funny and snapped a few pics.






Yup, those pictures up there sure are cute, huh? Even Daddy and Lori think so.

GAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!

Terrible dreams that aren't scary enough to wake you up fully so you end up remembering it all with crystal clarity.

I was video taping an HFS Event. Nezz was getting rowdy. I left and went to the new library at UTPA. I txt'd the Pres of the university cause there were new water fountains. My brother and I went to the parkinglot to sit at a bench under a pavallion. A six month old baby was with us, very blond, and he got stabbed in the back. He bled out and died.

I woke up and went to the bathroom, and tried to clear my head, but it started envisioning Lori getting stabbed in the back, and that I would have to hold her while we got rushed to the ER and I told them her father's family was allergic to general anthesia and I didn't know her blood type, and she started falling asleep and they were trying to save her, and I was holding her so she'd be still and....

-shudder- I don't LIKE watching ER shows. They give me bad dreams. I think salsa does too.

Lori in Wonderland

I eat the cookie and become all bitty!

I drink the tea and grow all big!

Milk!

So, I get home from derby practice and Lori's still up. Dad's roaming about to get her to sleep, then stops and I hear him go, "Oh! Lori! Did you tell Momma the exciting news today?" I turn around and look over to see him walking over. "Nooooo...." I reply.

"So she was sitting on the bed after a diaper change and her bottle was made and on the changing table, right? And she looked at the bottle, looked at Gramma and I and then reached out and closed her hand into a fist several times, then fussed, stopped and repeated the whole thing over again. Gramma and I were like, wtf is she doing? until Gramma went, 'wait, isn't that the sign for milk?' and I was like, 'omg! It is!' Lori, our little 9month old Lori bug, signed Milk at us, in the right context!"

And as he was telling me the story, she was signing it and laughing, and signing momma and looked oh so proud of herself.

She's so smart!
