The Kid Acts Like a Monkey

It’s true. I live in a zoo. I really do. And now I’m done rhyming for you.
You see, having kids is wonderful, but every now and again I wonder, “How did I get to this point in my life?” My days are filled with non-stop cleaning of the messes Dawson makes. From picking up toys (4.6 million times a day) to making sure he hasn’t accidently peed on the floor in the bathroom (who said raising boys was easy, right?) I honestly believe I live with a little monkey. It’s no wonder he likes bananas so much.
The other day I woke up to find my son climbing the drawers in the kitchen to get on the counter top and scavenge the cupboards for the treats I’ve hidden on the top shelves. I shreiked when I saw him and he didn’t even flinch. He just laughed and I swear he made a monkey sound, too.
Now don’t get me wrong, my little Dawson is amazing and I wouldn’t trade him in for anything else in this world, but sometimes I want to hide under the covers and let his father handle all the chaos. But, at the end of the day when I see him crash (literally) for the night, I think to myself, “Zoo life really isn’t so bad.” It could be worse, right? At least this little monkey is potty-trained.

I know. Believe me I KNOW. It’s been a week. Forgive me bloggers, for I have sinned. I have sinned against you and all that is good and bloggy.
It’s been a very long week. I’ve been doing lots of things, none of them exceptiona

Okay, I’m biased. I know that. But this video cracks me up.
Dawson and I were watching Spongebob this morning, and then Nickelodeon went off the air for three hours as part of their Worldwide Day of Play event. I told Dawson to help me find Mu

Every year, I remember Jim and his amazing music. Could you imagine what he’d be doing today?
And then I saw this and giggled a little. I think Jim would be proud:

I just have to tell you all that I’m so glad it’s Friday. This has been the week from hell. The good news? Internet, telephone and wireless networks are all back up in Casa La Dana Files. This is fantastic.
It only took 15 telephone ca
Charter Still Sucks

Internet and phone are still acting funny. Yesterday we didn’t have a dial tone for 7 hours or more. This is after Charter reset a bunch of things. So, they are coming back today (it only took 15 calls from my cell phone and 2 threats to call
Charter Sucks

I hate Charter Communications. I hope they rot in hell. I have no internet, the telephone isn’t working right, and the cable is shitty. I pay $142 a month for crappy products and shitty customer service.
Charter is company of liars. I called

…that baby’s head of hair.
When I think back to the day that Dawson was born, I remember that he didn’t have much hair on his little head. But, within a few short months, his baby hair was growing quite nicely and I swore I would never

I’m Sorry I Got You Germy, Mumma

I stayed home from work today because this cold is kicking my butt. I awoke with a massive headache, barking like a seal, and began to cry. I hate being sick. Obviously, no one enjoys being sick, but when I’m ill I just want someone to take care
One Should Never Post When She Has a Cold
Date: 09/18/08 1:29pm
It seems that I’m sick. Now that Dawson is in preschool he’s been exposed to a new host of germs and has lovingly decided to share them with me. It’s my own fault because I’m one of those parents who gives her child a hug and k
