More Cups

Firstly, Just as a side note to yesterday’s post. I decided to leave it in to prove how slow witted I can be. At 5:30 this morning Morgan got home and decided to share with me that after reading my blog he laughed at me. You’ll have to read it in context, but basically I wrote that my SIN number stood for Social Security Number. Aparently Im not quite quick enough to notice that Security in the middle of that would make my acronym SSN. Dumb, I know.

I forgot to put on here last week that Emily told me her first dream. Well the first one I know of. Im sure she’s dreamed for her whole life, but last week is the first time she’s told me one. I got her up early for something last week. When I walked in her room she was still asleep, which doesnt usually happen. Usually she hears me open the door and tryes to stand up out of a dead sleep. Somewhat humourous, I might add. But this time she stayed asleep. I started to sing the good morning song and she sat upright and said “More cups”. She signed it too. She kept saying over and over and looking around her crib for “More cups”. She never goes to bed with a cup or even really has one before bed anymore. So it was really cool because she had no reason to think of cups. Its not even her breakfast, or I’d have just thought she was hungry. So there you have it. Emily dreams of cups. Probably ones with endless “Nook” (milk)in them.

Morgan and I are taking on a two week challenge. Well really we are down to one week. If week can make it two weeks without buying groceries, then the grocerie money goes towards our new computer. It’s kindof a fun challenge. We had to buy milk for Emily, but we arent buying anything but bare minimum for one more week. We have oodles of food in our house, but none of it is quick to prepare. AND none of it is Pizza, chinese, or well quick. So Im hoping to come up with some different recipies to use all the meat in our freezer and even some of the canned stuff. It’s all good, it will just take some creativity to make it work.  Im always up for a challenge.

or a dare.

Morgan didnt save the picture, but we did have a picture of me wearing a childrens cow head from a halloween costume in kamloops last week. Like they really thought I wouldnt do it. I have worn way weirder things. For sure. Don’t get me started. All of high school was weirder than that.

Lastly. Will someone remind me to buy a bathtub plug. Emily threw ours out without me knowing it and trying to plug the tub with a hairspray lid is getting annoying. Plus Em pulls it out. So please. I have to remember!!

awe…cups!! Go buy a bath tub plug!

I’ve been able to go for weeks without buying groceries. It’s actually rather fun. Of course we still had to buy essentials.
