Monday Morning, Again

I am veddy veddy tired this morning. Around 2 a.m. the Kid decided to put on, what I believe to be, A Chorus Line for about 2 hours, with intermissions. So veddy tired. Of course we had to wake him up this morning and that was a joy. Pampers commercials lie. No kid wakes up looking and acting like that. When we have to wake him up, it is like waking up a rabid raccoon.

It was a nice weekend. A quiet weekend. I stayed home Saturday night when I was supposed to go out for a girls' night but I confused dates and the Husband was meeting a friend who was in town for ONE NIGHT ONLY! Sigh, I crocheted. Sunday was cleaning day and playground day and making more Halloween crafts. October 7th - mark your calendars - I am decorating!

Since my vision is more of a vintagey, classier, Martha Halloween, I have a lot of thinking to do and some more fabric to buy. I kind of feel re-generated with the new look I am going for and cannot wait to see it come together. The bathroom and toilet will be serial killer kitsch but otherwise, raise your Gothini glasses and talk about your yachts, Mommy's classing it up!

Here are two things I made for the kitchen - damn flash makes them look crappy but they look alright in person and in a darkened room.



I'm happy with them. I'm happy that they cost me 1.2324 euros to make each one. Shellac be expensive, yo.

We have a meeting at the daycare tomorrow morning... loud sigh... and on Friday I am meeting with the child therapist... louder sigh. She's lovely and I always feel great after meeting her but I don't think a 2.5 year needs a therapist, his mother does, but I don't think he does. And so, may your Monday go by quickly and your dreams come true. I want to sleep under my desk. So veddy veddy tired.

A Key Word Post

I didn't have anything specific to post tonight because nothing terribly exciting happened over the weekend. Which is actually a good thing. That means it was a chillaxed weekend with no need to look up divorce lawyers or boarding schools for toddlers. So, that means that I will write things based on some key words... long story short, lots of short stories. So here we go! The daycare: This morning was my morning to bring the Kid. By 8 he was in his coat and shoes and I was in my fake fur vest and heels. We headed out and rounded the corner and walked through the front gate. He jumped out of his stroller and headed to the front door. It was locked. I tried a couple times to open it and the Kid started to whine. One of the providers came to the door and explained the daycare was closed for the day. Apparently it was staff development day and someone (the Husband) did not see the signs up last week that they were closed today. I apologized and tried to call the Husband while tryi

A Tova Movie Re-cap: Bram Stoker's Dracula

You all like that I am reviewing films that are over 20 years old, right? I'm like Grandpa Simpson. Today's post is a re-cap of one of my all time favourite Halloween movies EVER. And it isn't just a Halloween movie.. it is so much more. It is Francis Ford Coppola's Bram Stoker's Dracula. I remember exactly when I saw this film for the first time. We were at my Godmother's cottage in Quebec and my parents and I and my brother headed to the video store. I stood in front of this VHS cover and stared and stared (that's how I would let my parents know I wanted something back in the day. I was not allowed to beg for toys so in my brilliant infantile wisdom, I concocted a full proof plan. I would stand in front of a toy (probably a My Little Pony) and stare and stare and stare. I was subtle. I still do this today at jewelry stores.) I was 12 years old at the time and had graduated from being fascinated with witches to vampires. Puberty, guys. I was OBSESSED wi

The Way Some People Find my Blog and a Challenge

Image
Now, I am not sure why people read my blog. O.k., there are some reasons that people read my blog... they are interested in autism, they like my use of gifs, they are my friends and want to support me, sometimes I make them laugh, they want to see if they are mentioned in it, they live in Vienna and want to know where I go so they can avoid bumping into me... I don't have a sophisticated stat counter on my blog. The only thing I can really see is the number of page views, which countries those page views are coming from and what people search for and somehow end up on my blog. So I decided today to post the most common terms that bring people to my page. And some of them are amusing. Pros and cons to living in Vienna : This one is pretty understandable. I did a whole "pros vs. cons" post a while ago. I think if I had to move to a new city I would most likely type in the same thing. As well as, "average price of alcohol".
