Guy! Guy! .... oh my.

Guy! Guy! is what the little one yells to us everytime she see's the remote. "Guy" stands for Family Guy. She always loved the theme song. I'd let her watch it, she'd do her dance, then I'd turn the channel- or she'd go back to playing and ignoring the TV. Here's an example:

Yes, I let her replay and dance to the song... I admit that. Now, she has decided that this is HER show. This is the show that she must watch over and over. This is the show that she will actually eat something when watching. This is the show that will keep her in one place for a few minutes, allowing mommy that little extra time to go to the loo on her own (which I don't remember last time I was alone in there while she was awake)..

So, whilst I don't agree with letting kids watch this show, this is the one she has chosen to have as her own. To the point she throws a tantrum if she can't watch it. Last thing I want is for her to go to nursery and say "smell my ass"... which for some reason makes her laugh. I am trying to cut her off of it, and I can't believe how HARD it is! She likes Chica from the "sunny side up" show, the birthday song, and the berenstein bears. I promise you that after those shows are done, she is calling out "guy! guy!" and when I say "no" it becomes the sad, pathetic, whiney "guuuuyyyy... guyyyyyyy", and when I say "no" again (or its not on now, or its broken, or we've run out), she arches her back and into an oscar worthy tantrum.

I'm in for trouble down the line, I think.

sick day

not for me, but for the little one. Turns out that she has a bad sinus infection. Whilst I hate taking the day off of work, I was able to get her to nap in her crib and get some stuff done. Its actually a snowy day here- but more of a pretty snow, than a pain in the ass snow. I almost wish it were tomorrow (that I'm off with her), since the innauguration falls right during the lunch hours of our school. Hopefully they'll put it on the big screen (not tv- the old fashioned movie screens from school) in the cafeteria, like they did for the Phillies parade.

So, I've had a few people ask how my health is. So far, so good. My PT/INR levels (blood levels) have finally stabilized and I get to go have my blood done in 1 1/2 weeks, this would be a few days before I get the doppler study on my leg to see if my clot is gone. Feb 2, is the big day- so keep your fingers crossed. I am not a big drinker at all, but I can't tell you how much I'd love a glass of wine! I'm sure I won't be able to handle the first sip!
