Zoe’s Daily Funny:
Last night the hubs was helping out with getting Zoe ready for bed cause I wasn’t feeling well. I read her half of her Lion King book while she was drinking her milk and then after she was done we shut off the lights and I was trying to watch a little tv. Zoe turns on her side to face her daddy and so he turns on his side to face her and they’re cuddling. I was watching tv but listening to their conversation and laughing.

Zoe: Daddy?
C: Yes honey?
Zoe: Daddy are you black?
Me: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
C: Hahaha what?
Zoe: Daddy are you black?
C: Hahaha no
Zoe: Daddy are you brown?
C: Haha no I’m tanned.
Zoe: Oh. Ten?
C: Tanned
Zoe: Tanned?
C: Yes.

Then a moment or two goes by and I hear him go…

C: Zoe do you want to hold daddy’s hand?
Zoe: No…(reaching behind her to find my hand)…I wanna hold mommy’s hand
C: (looking at her with this blank look) Zoe, you just killed the mood. Fine then, you can look at my back all night (and then he turned to his other side)

Oh the love between them is so pweshus!

:: 05.29.10 :: Day One :: Dutch Wonderland
So we went on a saturday and came back on monday. We loved Dutch Wonderland. The husband swears that he will never set foot at Sesame Place ever again but he’s willing to go back to Dutch Wonderland any time. Plus it’s clean. It’s about 2 1/2-e hours from NYC. We got there by mid afternoon, checked into our hotel and then went straight to Dutch Wonderland. With the tickets that we got that evening we were able to get in again with them the next day. Zoe had a blast! I think 2 and up is the perfect age to go. I think it’s $35 per head and kids under 2 get in for free.

  


  
   
 
 
            
          
 



                                    
        
 


                                           

Zoe’s Daily Funny:
So in the morning after I dress and put on my face and then dress Zoe, I head downstairs by myself to get her lunchbag ready. I leave her upstairs with he dad so that he can brush her teeth after he’s done getting ready and sometimes I hear them arguing a lot or just chatting together.

So last thursday morning they came down together and she’s in a great mood. He puts her on the floor and she runs off to the living room. He says to me…

Hubs: You know what this one said to me this morning?
Me: What?
Hubs: I ask her “Do you love daddy?” she goes “No. I love mommy!” Jerk.
Me: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Then he starts talking to Zoe from across the room…

Hubs: Zoe do you love daddy?
Zoe: (busy playing) yes.
Hubs: Say “Ahbah is handsome.”
Zoe: Ahbah is handsome mommy!

Notice how she threw in the “mommy”? Like as if she was reminding me in case I had forgotten. I know he’s handsome. He’s only ugly when when HE claims he’s handsome.

So on thursday Zoe and I had our first giggling episode where we both can’t stop laughing. *sigh* It was so funny. We were sitting on the living room floor and I was feeding her dduk gook (korean rice cake soup) and she had her mouth full and said something like “Where is Shrek?” but it sounded more like “wheihtrekt?” So I was pretending my mouth was full and I said “What? WEHIHTRECKT?!” and she just started giggling. And every time she’d stop it’s as if she was thinking about what I just said and just burst out giggling again and again. So I started laughing too and everytime we’d stop we’d make eye contact and start laughing again. Hahaha dude she cracks me up. 

:: 06.06.10 :: Fort Lee Fair
Our church Bethany Well participated in the Fort Lee Fair 2 sundays ago so we headed out to support them. It was way too hot and after about an hour or two I couldn’t take the heat anymore plus we had to take the lil one home and put her down for her nap. I didn’t take a lot of photos cause I was just too hot so here are a few that I did take.




:: 05.06.10 :: Daddy-time

2 ripe bananas
2 cups of strawberries
1 8oz vanilla yogurt
3/4 cup of milk

Throw everything into a blender on high speed for 1 minute. (3 servings)
You can of course alter the amount of fruit you put in. I tend to like strawberries more than bananas.

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’s Daily Funny:
The conversation going on behind me with Zoe and the sun while driving to work today.

Zoe: C’mon sun! Follow me. I go to school. It’s Mustard Seed. Come with me and Mommy. Okay?! You no listen?! Ok, time out sun! One minute! I don’t care.

:: 05.22.10 ::  So Jiwon Invited us over for a playdate a few weeks ago. I should have taken more photos but I haven’t seen her in so long so we were busy chatting up a storm. Plus these two crazies were busy running around anyways so they couldn’t care less about us.


          

Zoe’s Daily Funny:
So whenver I take Zoe out of the car she stands next to the rear right tire while she waits for me to get our bags out of the car. So as of last week she actually stood there and inspected the tire. So now she knows who the Michelin man is. I don’t think there are many 2 year olds out there that know who he is or even cares who he is. Zoe cares because she is my half pint weirdo. Hahaha. She’ll stand there and go…

Zoe: Umma who is that?!
Me: You know who that is. Who is it Zoe?
Zoe: The Michelin man. One Michelin man, two Michelin man. Mommy there’s 2 Michelin man! (there’s a logo on opposite ends of the tire)
Me: That’s right! Get in the car.

Last saturday her dad put her in the car without her getting a chance to check out her Michelin men and she was crying “MICHELIN MAN….*sob*… MICHELIN MAN!”
Oh dear Lord! Of all the things to get upset about!

So this week has been a little rough so far. I woke up tuesday morning and I see small blood drops and smears at the head of the bed. Miss Zoe, who was still sleeping also had dry blood under her right nostril. I looked at her index finger and realized the picky noser picked her nose while she was sleeping which caused the bloody mess because there was blood only on her nose picking finger. *sigh* I woke her up to get her ready for school and when I told her that her nose had bled and showed her the blood on her finger she started to smile at it.  Hello weirdo? That’s not a good thing.

Then tuesday night she woke up at 2:30 asking fo rmilk. I woke the hubs up to get her a bottle. While we were waiting for him I noticed something dark on the bed by Zoe. So I leaned over her to look closer. Girlfriend picked her nose again! And there was more blood than the night before. *sigh* I wiped her dry blood off her face and just went back to sleep so I could just deal with it in the am.  When I woke up I stripped all the sheets off AGAIN. I woke her up and lectured her and this time I told her if she kept picking her nose a snake would come out and bite her finger. Haha… Call me mean. It worked. However last night she woke up at 4am. I think she had a bad dream cause she just started to yell and whimper. Poor thing. She asked for milk again. Her father went and got it for her. I turned my back to her and tried to go back to sleep. Instead of just drinking it and going back to sleep this one started talking in the dark.

Zoe: Ariel is pretty.
Me: That’s right. She is pretty.
Zoe: Snow White is pretty. (Oh dear Lord. I know where this is going. I know she’s gonna list them all!)
Me: I know Zoe. Stop talking.
Zoe: Sleeping Beauty is pretty too. Cinderella is pretty too.
Me: *ignoring*
Zoe: Belle is pretty, Pocahontas is pretty, Mulan is pretty…Jasmine is pretty too.
Me: *Ignoring*
Zoe: Umma is pretty.
Me: That’s right. (So what? I broke my silence.) Zoe is pretty too!
Zoe: Daddy is pretty.
Me: He sure is. He’ll be happy to hear that.

It think she went to sleep close to 5. Everytime she would move “Mommy my blanket come off!” STOP MOVING! STOP TALKING TO ME ZOE!
Surprisingly I’m not that tired today even though it was hard to get out fo bed. The hubs however had a hard time getting up and he was really cranky. So when he got off the 166 bus to Port Authority he said there were 3 black guys where they got off and they said comments like “Damn there’s mad chinks on this bus! Godzilla must be loose somewhere!”  It’s the 166 from Palisades Park which is fuckin’ Korea of New Jersey you assholes! So the hubs told me that 1 or 2 guys said something along the lines of “It’s not cool to say stuff like that” or something close to it. MY CRANKY PANTS however says “Oh look. It’s 3 black guys. Someone must be passing out welfare checks somewhere.”  So OF COURSE one of the black guy says “What the fuck did you say?!” and then my husband was thinking “ohshitohshitohshit…” and he said he started walking fast. He said that they were following him and then 2 cops approached them and got both sides of the story and basically told all of them that they were retarded. One of the cops let my husband go and said that they were going to hold on to the 3 guys till he was well out of sight. In this day and age ya know? Assholes.

:: 06.27.10 :: The Incredible Tent
Funny story about this tent: 2 weeks ago I bring Zoe down and start packing her food for school. Out of the blue, and she’s pretty random I mus say, she goes…
Zoe: I hate Aunt Carment.
Me: Oh really?
Zoe: Yes.
Me: Ok. Well then I guess we can give Aunt Carmen her Incredibles tent back. Aunt Carmen bought that for you.
Zoe: (thinking about it, thinking about it…) I love Aunt Carment. (smiling)
Me: Thought so.
