LaLaGirl – Twinfinite Chaos! Parenting Multiples and Dealing with Autism

- Have you seen that show on Disney called Johnny and the Sprites? It used to be a short little segment that they played between other programs, and I always perked right up when I heard the theme song, because the guy playing Johnny was such a hottie. My fellow twin mama friend Becca always calls him her boyfriend! Anyway, now it’s an actual full length show, although I hadn’t ever seen it because I guess it’s only on Saturdays? Well, I just noticed that OnDemand has Disney Channel shows available now, so we’ve spent quite a bit of time watching Little Einsteins and Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. But I noticed Johnny and the Sprites listed there too, so we watched an episode last night. HOLY HELL. It is so completely annoying – they sing lame songs the entire time, and it’s just – lame. And annoying. And lame. And for some reason? Johnny isn’t hot like he used to be! His hotness has decreased substantially. I can’t put my finger on exactly why. Is it is hair? I really don’t know. But I’m so not impressed. No more Johnny and the Sprites for us!

- My mom. She is such a trip sometimes. And my dad too, for that matter. Paul says they’ve got the doomsday syndrome! They’re always envisioning the worst case scenario, in any possible situation, always. Pessimists! Anyway, I was on the phone with my mom yesterday and she asked me if I’d seen the story on the news about all the recent attacks on family pets from coyotes. Apparently, it’s coyote season or something, because they keep showing up in backyards and stuff. Anyway. So my mom goes, “I’ll bet that’s what happened to Mojo,” (the kitty we used to have, who got out one day and never came back.) Well, naturally, we’d considered that scenario, but I honestly prefer to think that someone saw him and grabbed him and he’s living high on the hog as a family pet with someone who doesn’t have four toddlers to terrorize him. But she went on. “He probably didn’t have a chance, poor little thing, he was declawed, wasn’t he? You know, they grab them by the neck and just shake them until they break their necks.” Jeez, mom! Thanks for the play-by-play on how you envision our cat dying. Weirdo.

- Pablo pooped in the toilet again the other night, and it was pretty much intentional. We were so proud! We jumped up and down and sang and stuff. Pablo was pleased with himself, but seemed like he was laughing at us!

- Speaking of cute kid stuff, yesterday I didn’t have time to take a shower before Pablo needed to go to school, so I ended up having to entertain the girls in the bathroom so I could shower a little later, before our playdate. I didn’t want to show up stinky! So, as I started undressing, the kids just STARED at me! It occurred to me that the kids have never seen me naked! I am up and dressed before they are, and I go to bed after they do. So, Mallory said, real impressed, “Wow, Mommy! You’ve got biiiiig boobies!” She was almost laughing nervously when she said, “And they’re falling down, too!” Ha! In my defense, my boobies are NOT falling down. I was, however, bending over to get my clothes and drop them in the hamper, so I guess there was a little pendulum action going on. I hope I didn’t traumatize them too much.

- I bought Hello Kitty sandals for the girls today. They are just beyond precious. The little girls got little spongey, sequined slides – actually identical to a pair Mallory had two summers ago – and Mallory got these, which she is still freaking out about. They’re pretty cute, huh? Guess what, though? They’re all too big! Way too big! But the size smaller was…too small! Way too small! What is it with these wonky-ass sizes?? I’d rather have them too big, though, so they can at least wear them through the summer.

- Oh, and also? I just heard a commercial for a concert that’s coming in about a week and a half: Def Leppard, with special guests Foreigner and Styx. Dude! This 80s girl would have so much fun reliving the years of big hair! If only our hookup for free concert tickets hadn’t moved to a new job! It just seems wrong to PAY for tickets after all these years of going to free shows!

- I think that’s all I have for now. It bugs me how all day long, while I’m out doing stuff, I think about things I want to write about, and then I get home and sit here drawing a blank. D’oh!
