Grumble, grumble.
21Nov2006 Filed under: Blah blah blah Author: LauraI’m feeling like a big Krabby Patty today. I don’t feel well, and I don’t know why. I’ve had this mystery pain in my tummy since Sunday, and there are times when I think, “I probably should go to the doctor” and times where I’m like, “Okay, I guess it’s gone now!” and then later on, “Oh crap, it’s back.” I told Paul if I’m still feeling ouchie tomorrow, I’ll go to the doctor, so I’m not miserable on Thanksgiving!
I’m also annoyed because I sold my side-by-side umbrella stroller a couple of twin club sales ago. At the time, I thought all I needed was the quad stroller, but really, I’m about ready to retire it (I know, crazy, huh?) and start using a standard double stroller again. Pablo and Mallory are big enough to walk, and honestly, they’re all so heavy, it requires a lot of effort to push them all in that stroller. When we went to the mall last week, it about killed me getting that beast in and out of my van and then pushing it all over the place! ForGET about pulling a cartful of groceries behind me, like I used to. There’s no way I can do that anymore. I’m just not strong enough! So it would be fantastic to just have a nice little lightweight stroller for Nikki and Lexi, because they will NOT walk beside me like obedient little puppies - they are all OVER the place. Too bad I got rid of mine! Duhhh! I’ve put the word out among my twin club peeps that I’m looking to buy a stroller if anyone’s wanting to get rid of one before the next sale. Hopefully I’ll hear from someone soon, or I’m just going to have to plunk down another $85 on another double stroller!! The good thing is, the little Jeep Cherokee umbrella stroller I used to have has been redesigned and is better looking and more functional now, and it costs the same as it did when I bought it in 2004. And I got $40 at the last sale, so I’m sure I’ll be able to resell another one for a good price. But dammit! I hate having to do shit twice like that.
Did you watch Heroes last night? I like the show - but I get so annoyed with the promos. They’re all, “You will understand the meaning of ‘Save the cheerleader, Save the world’…” Um. Do you understand it? I sure as hell don’t. I’m still not sure what’s going to happen next! And I could have SWORN that last night’s episode was the finale. Paul and I were all geared up for a big wrapup to all the loose ends. Around 8:45 I was like, “Babe, is this a 2-hour episode? Because there’s no way they can tie this all up in fifteen more minutes!” then we realized it’s on next week, too. Am I alone here? Paul and I both thought FOR SURE that we’d heard the finale was last night. Eh, whatever.
Kayley’s off the rest of the week after today for the long weekend. I’m going to seriously try to get a picture of all the children for Christmas cards. Wish me luck on that - you know how obedient my children are, and how willing they all are to sit still and look at the camera all at the same time!!
Okay, I’m outtie. Naptime will be over soon, and I still need to unload the dishwasher and fold clothes. Buh bye.

Dude, no joke - I hate to use the term “let-down” about a tv show…but I thought this was the big one on Heroes too! I mean they have made the last 2 episodes and the one next week sound like the end…I was totally deceived just like you!

Me too on the Heros thing. I still don’t get it besides the fact that Sylar has telekinetic powers and is killing all the other people with powers, but i have no idea why or how saving Claire is going to stop New York from blowing up.

Last week they actually said “the last episode leading up to the finale.” Losers. I had to rewind the PVR to make sure I had heard that right.

I hope Heroes doesn’t ever end. It will make me sad not to have it in my life. I’m such a looser.
