Sidewalk Chalk + Vacation Talk
Zoe’s Daily Funny:
I’m trying to get the best deal at a hotel for a conference I’m trying to set up for in July. So I called 3 hotels and they all know they’re competing against each other. So one of them hand delivered their proposal and gave a mini chalkboard with a pen and pencil case as a little bonus. PSH! You can’t buy me lady. I was sold. hahaha I took it home to give it to Zoe. I bought sidewalk chalk (because I couldn’t find regular chalk). She drew all weekend. Sunday after her nap we took her chalk outside to draw. She was drawing all over my Picasa-esque drawings. Hello? Rudeness.
Zoe: I drawing like mommy.
Me: Oh yeah? I drawing like Zoe. Zoe can I have the yellow chalk?
Zoe: OF COURSE!
Me: Hahahahaha (I’ve never heard her say that so I had some fun with it). Zoe can I have the pink one?
Zoe: OF COURSE!
Me: Can I have blue?
Zoe: OF COURSE!
Me: What about pur…no forget it.
Zoe: What mommy?
Me: Can I have purple?
Zoe: OF COURSE!
It’s how she said it which was funny to me. Like “You’re so silly, OF COURSE, DUH” type of of course. Ya know?
Yesterday morning I wanted to kick her ass. I know, it’s not a motherly thing to say but this is how I felt. So friggin whiney. Like geeze. I think I’m lucky since her terrible two’s hit that she’s not the tantrummy type but dude the whining is SO annoying! It’s like deafening. I try to ignore it (I don’t know how some of you mothers could) but I can’t and then after a while I just get SUPER ANNOYED! It’s really draining on me.
You know, we’ve been trying to plan a Jung Family Vacation 2010 Extravaganza. I’ve been really looking foward to it. Just with the baby coming and with me going back to work it’s just something really nice to look foward to. So we’ve been trying to plan a cruise to Bermuda with our friends and APPARENTLY you need a doctor’s note to board a ship if you’re prego stating your due date. If you are 24 or more they won’t let you board. WHAT DA EFFIN A!? You know I also found out that this is pretty standard for all major cruise lines. WHAT DA EFFIN A?! I called my doctor to see if she’d lie for me. She said no. AHHHHH! So frustrating! So now we are planning a separate vacation without our friends. I’m really bummed because I was looking foward to going on a trip with other people and these were like the perfect people to do our first one with. Sorry Oliver clan. In the baby’s best interest I can’t. I would feel soooo shitty if something happened to the baby. So it’s a risk not worth taking. So the search is still on the Jung Family Vacation 2010 Extravaganza…dun dun DUN!
This week we got Lion King in the mail. I’m surprised sometimes at how much Zoe can understand. Yesterday she was watching it and Scar (Mustafa’s brother) came out and she said “Scar is like Jafar (for you non Disney supporters, he’s the sultan’s advisor) mommy.” So I said “Why is he like Jafar, Zoe?” She responded “Because they’re both baaaaad.”

Zoe is too cute haha she is so perceptive I love it! Also about the whiney-ness gosh you have me scared. My daughter is 1 and she is already whiney. -___- I am in for trouble i tell you. When she get’s 2 I am going to ship her off to bratty baby camp. haha, The trip sounds like fun (even though there are no plans yet) it;s always nice to relax before the storm. Are you ready for 2?
love sidewalk chalk!! i can’t stand whining. i’m sure you all will have fun wherever you go with zoe in tow. has she watched snow white yet? that movie scares the bejeebers out of me, so i’m not letting M watch it. my BIL bought it for her for her bday.
@orangemomo01 - nooooooooooo hahaha i think i will be. i honestly don’t think you’re ever ready.
@mamajoyjoy@momaroo - ok, zoe’s had snow white for a while. it’s her favorite princess. i watched it for the first time in like decades when it got released last fall. I don’t knwo how in the hells that was my favorite cause when I watched it i was like holy crap this is scary! but since she’s watched it so much i think she’s unphased by it.
it’s great when companies know that you are the bid decision maker for your company. i’ve only been in that situation a couple of times and it’s goood.
do you mean you can’t be 24 years or older and pregnant and go on a cruise? or 24 weeks pregnant?
@SarahakaHungry - 24 weeks prego.
hahhahaa! Susan, you’re such a geek! I love it!!!
@so_droll80 - i went back and read my entry. what part makes me a geek ya geek lover?
i find you to be pretty geek like in general. particularly your sense of humor. i.e. how you wrote “extravaganza.” it tickles my fancy.
@so_droll80 - hahaha “it tickles my fancy” means you’re a fellow geek. hahaha
i see zoe spelled jonah’s name on your driveway…hahahah
oooh do share where you end up selecting for your extravaganza… we’re always looking for places to go!
oh bummer about the cruise. I was preggos when I went, but I was early on and I didnt tell the cruise I was pregnant. Anyway, your extravaganza will be fun (whereever it’ll be) because you such a good planner and researcher.
