This has been one insane week, I find myself dropping into bed far later than anyone who wants to remain civil in the daytime should.
I keep having dreams that I divorce my Hubby and now have this overwhelming urge to squirrel money away.
When I told him, he laughed. Hmmm...
Little guy, A2 (now six) finally lost his first tooth and that good-for-nothing Tooth Fairy never showed up (she should be sacked).
And YOU people. High Fiving me and congratulating me on the potty training while secretly snickering. YOU didn't bother to mention that with a girl, the potty thing is a whole new experience. It's an all-day job with overflowing sinks from creative hand washers and being out and about...who knew that exploring every toilet in every place could be so... time draining?
Little guy just ran in to show me he's pulled his other loose tooth out.
Tooth Fairy, you'd better not blow this one tonight.
Hmmm... that dream of yours... I wonder could it be the lately 'happenings' from some of the bloggers...In my blog list, there are already 4 dealing with their separation....
ReplyDelete**Could I have a moment of your time to place your vote on my 2nd Blogoversary Post on my children’s blog? Because many readers feedback that they don't see my sidebars. Sorry for the inconvenience caused and Thank you if you could just hop over to vote.
Our overworked, overtired, forgetful tooth fairy was really just clumsy. We'd always find her coins behind the bed when we just helped them look harder...
ReplyDeleteUgh - I forget that one of the worst things about potty training is the fact that you learn where every potty is in the tri-state area. Time waster.
ReplyDeleteWhat is with that tooth fairy? She tends to be late around here as well. ;-)
ReplyDeleteSo take a trip out and about just to find all the potties and get it over with. Potty amusement day. :)
ReplyDeleteSounds like some ugly dreams. Good thing you love your hubster so much.
We had the same tooth fairy. I think she liked her chardonnay a little too much. And the potty business? I put diapers on them when we went out and about. I know. Unfit.
ReplyDeletethe tooth fairy failed to appear at our house last night, too. She must have been off on a bender.
ReplyDeleteWe've had Tooth Fairy issues in the last week too. She is LOUSY at her job! I had 20 other Moms mention on my blog that their tooth fairy was the worst ever too. With THAT many Moms having Tooth Fairy problems- it can't be US, it must be HER!
ReplyDeleteAs for the potty training thing- my Anna was a 'Potty Voyeur'. She wanted to check out EVERY restroom, EVERY place we went.
That darn tooth fairy!! lol
ReplyDeleteAt least the Tooth Fairy got a second chance andfair warning.
ReplyDeletePS: I like your husband.
divorce your husband? yeah I'm laughing too, not thinking so...as always your life gives glimpses into your endless ability to find humor in taxing situations. Tooth fairy get a grip...
ReplyDeleteThe Tooth Fairy is overrated. And really, she plays favorites. She brings my kids $1 (when she remembers), but my kids' friends at school? $5 plus a stuffed animal? Why does she pick on my kids? I used to think she was charming--until I had kids.
ReplyDeleteTooth Fairy did the same thing at our house. Oops. I'm sure she'll make it up to him though. :)
ReplyDeleteNow go and have a glass of wine, mama! It has to be close to 8:00 there by now. :)
The economy must be bad for the Tooth Fairy too. Hope she comes through tonight.
ReplyDeleteTrouble is, just when she quits wanting to visit every bathroom in town, you're going to NEEEEED to yourself.
ReplyDeleteOur older daughter once wrote a letter to her dad about his neglecting his tooth fairy duty...I know it's around here somewhere...
I think the tooth fairy owes the little man interest!! LOL!!
ReplyDeleteI've forgotten to be the tooth fairy, I just said are you sure she didn't come and I'd quick slip the money under his pillow.
ReplyDeleteI think every kids must do the potty check. I drove my crazy with my stepson and now again with the girl.
Hilary ...great tooth fairy idea! We had a similar thing with our tooth fairy. The kids would run to the tooth fairy box, look inside, NO MONEY! Tooth is STILL THERE! They'd walk away and look depressed, I'd walk over and double check and VOILAH! You didn't see THIS??? What?!?!? Oh my gosh! she must have just come! did anyone see her!??? WOW.
ReplyDeleteha.
Oh the joys of unlimited hand washing. Oh the wet floors. Oh the wet shirts. My boy is six and another joy here is the poop on every bathroom surface. the roll, the knobs, the sink ... the thighs ... the clothes. .. (Just tell me when you poop! I will help you! OK. but he doesn't.) I am really tired of poop trails.
heads up. WATCH THE DRAINS. Kids who spend a long time at the sink put THINGS in the drains. Toothpaste caps, little bouncy balls ... etc. etc. etc. ... and then the water goes OVER the edge ... not down the drain.
You have been warned.
Later I'll laugh. . . . With you. :)
Hugs!
Wow! It's starting to sound like the Tooth Fairy needs an intervention or something. She's skipped out at our place a couple of times too. I suppose we ought to take it up with the Head Honcho. He's at the North Pole right?
ReplyDeleteugh. Potty Training. So not looking forward to it. My boys should be coming up soon. I'm getting a serious sense of foreboding coming from Wendy up there.
I thought my son was being a big boy at age 5 for going to the men's room by himself at a Chinese restaurant.
ReplyDeleteBut he was really just cleaning up....he squirted the entire liquid soap container on his hands and then tried to rinse it off, and ended up with a floor filled with suds.
At least I could accompany the girls in their exploration of new restrooms!
The tooth fairy has a BIG job! Just think of all the little kids all over the world and how many of them must lose a tooth every single day! It is understandable if once in a while she forgets or is late in arriving.
ReplyDeleteYour little guy sure is a cutie! :D
The only time that I think I have been to Norfolk was when I was about four years old. We had a holiday in Great Yarmouth and went to the Norfolk Broads for the afternoon. And the only thing that I can remember about it was my mother and I going to a public convenience. In those days you had to put a penny in a slot, in the door to open it, which my mother duly did and told me not to lock the door. Well, or course, I locked the door then could not get it unlocked. My mother was frantically feeding pennies into the door which would not budge and I got out by squeezing under the gap at the bottom of the door!
ReplyDeleteNorfolk is on our list of places to visit but I won't be doing that again.
