Ideally I'd be blogging about running right now, but I've had to take another rib pain break from running. I haven't run since Friday and my crazy level is slowly building. The pain has been better yesterday and today, so at least the rest is working. I can always tell when my rib pain is getting better because that's when I start noticing my back hurting again. Ah, pregnancy...you are so magical.
Today I got confirmation on my previously held belief that Peanut is an awful guard dog. Sure, she has markings that vaguely resemble breeds that CAN be guard dogs and sometimes she even pretends to be fierce.

| Go for the ear Peanut! |
We had workmen in and out of the house today (we had to get a new sliding glass door in the basement and roof repairs from storm damage) and Peanut acted like those 2 guys were her long lost owners. She followed one of them around all morning and started uncontrollably wiggling every time he looked in her direction. It's good that she's so loyal.

| Yeah, well I'd be more loyal if you got me my OWN Dorothy the Dinosaur backpack |
Maybe Peanut was just mad that she had to stay home when Faith and I went to "Wiggle Giggle Time" at the library. There are few things more fun than "Wiggle Giggle Time".

Since I haven't been running, I've been filling my spare time with a lot of this, except without the cat:
If a layer of protective blubber will help with rib pain, I'm on it. I'm already hitting the point where some of my maternity stuff isn't fitting anymore, which is making me feel like this:
I'm just figuring that most people are too polite to point out that a strip of my stomach is hanging out of the bottom of my shirts and I'm pretending that it fits. I refuse to buy anymore maternity shirts and my husband's shirts look ridiculous on me because the sleeves are so long. Also, he seems to not like lending me shirts. I can't understand it, it's not like I have stains all over my shirts. Oh wait...
If you're wondering about the title of this post, it's referencing this video of Faith with her favorite cracker of all time...Ritz. Sure, she thinks the "i" is really a "l", but that doesn't make spelling it aloud any less fun for her. My favorite part of this video is her evil little "Well..." at the end when she realizes I don't want her to dump the crackers.
What's your favorite cracker? I'm a Triscuit girl, but I can see the appeal of Ritz.
That video is hilarious! Charlotte is so far off from saying anything understandable I'm about to talk with a speech pathologist. Everything is "uh doce" or "wawa".
ReplyDeleteI love triscuits, and so does Charlotte. It's the only snack she has where she shouts "NO NO NO NO NO NO" to Darby.
Faith does that with ice cream and Peanut!
DeleteI'm probably really really bad a speaking toddler, but I really really thought she was saying ummm.....something else that sounds like quackers. Change the Q to an F and drop the a.
ReplyDeleteWhich makes it like a million times more funny.
That would be so much funnier :)
DeleteFor plain crackers I prefer those Ritz or Entertainer things but for cheese crackers it's Cheez-its over Goldfish any day of the week.
ReplyDeleteI think the most fun part of pregnancy was always the part when my stomach rested on my thighs. Love that flesh on flesh feeling especially in summer.
ReplyDeleteHaha I am so glad it's cooling down now so I don't mix my belly sweat with my thigh sweat.
Deletenothing like that boob on belly on thigh feeling!
Deletehey, I totally mocked you yesterday!
ReplyDeleteAdmit it, you've done better work.
DeleteHaha. I laughed out loud about your stomach hanging out under your shirt because mine is currently doing the same thing. My husband says it's sexy. Or he's willing to say anything to possibly get lucky...
ReplyDeleteYou have to admire their dedication.
DeleteI love the Peanut posts, especially the ones with pictures of her with other dogs.
ReplyDeleteFavorite cracker....Stacy's Naked Pita Chips probably don't count as crackers, but those things are like crack. I could eat Carr's water crackers all day, too.
The Stacy's cinnamon sugar pita chips are amazing, have you tried those?
DeleteThat is an evil little well at the end of that video. You are going to have your hands full in 13 years. I wish I could be more smug about that but my daughter pushes all my buttons all the time. Aack!
ReplyDeleteWhen we have 2 teenage girls in the house, I don't know what I'm going to do. I think it will involve sleep away camp in the summer :)
DeleteShe clearly learned that evil giggle from you.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy the gross pregnancy stories; they are excellent birth control.
It's the best BC you can find. You can throw those pesky pills away now.
DeleteHahaha. I love that video.
ReplyDeleteI am not a big fan of crackers.
I can safely say in 7 + years of teaching I've never seen a child so enthusiastic about spelling. I can also say I've never really given any thought to crackers. They are just a vehicle for cheese, right?
ReplyDeleteShe is insanely adorable - totally made me smile :) She's a smartypants recognizing the letters! Even if she does think the "i" is an "l" it proves she truly is recognizing them because the capital "i" does look like an "l" <---baby genius methinks :-)
ReplyDeleteHer voice is hilarious. She sounds like a little evil, insane person. Like mother like daughter.
ReplyDeleteSpoken like someone who has had the gift of working with me :)
DeleteI love the dog meeting picture. It's like the other dogs are Peanut's gang, egging her on to go after the nerd dog.
ReplyDeleteI wish Pippi would be nicer to people who came into the house. Was she always like that or when she was younger, did she act like she was going to bite everyone's head off who came in the house?
Faith seems like she's talking more than when I was there last. Time for another visit.
She has been talking a bunch lately. At least it's still entertaining and hasn't gotten to the sass part yet :)
DeleteI love butter crackers. I forget what brand, but those things are like crack. Especially with cheese.
ReplyDeleteI love cheese, but I'm anti cheese-flavored crackers like Goldfish. I like them, but then my mouth tastes like them ALL day. I have to brush my teeth like 3 times to get the taste out of my mouth.
I love all crackers. Actually, I just love all food. #fatty.
ReplyDeleteMy hounds are the same way. All bark, no bite.
Hounds are only really good for keeping the couch warm :)
DeleteI've never met a cracker I didn't like. Our dogs go nuts with anyone outside the house but once they are in, they accept. I'm hoping this would be enough in case of an intruder, probably not!
ReplyDeleteI'm only set with intruders who are afraid of getting licked!
DeleteToo funny. I love the funny ways little kids pronounce things. My 4-year-old nephew likes to use the H sound in place of other random letters and it can be pretty entertaining. For example, he is "whore" years hold and loves "dinowhores."
