So just now I was doing this funny little slow run with funky arms towards Twinkles (she is in the high chair eating Cherios) and Bigger Kid saw and she says, "Mrs. Arizona Sun*, you are the funniest grown up I saw!"
I love my job.
*Of course she uses my real first name cause we are cool like that!

Ashley
Ashley is my new solar powered happy plant. She sits in the window sill and flaps her leaves and sways back and forth all day long and she is happy... Till night, when the sun goes down and she runs out of power.
Today, I didn't even get up to do anything for Goodlooking as he got ready for work. I just got up when my alarm went off and got in the shower. I then realized that the car with Twinkle's car seat was with Goodlooking and I needed it so I could go to Volleyball at the church. It ended up working out just fine but I was a little upset for a while (I almost cried... I was still pretty tired). Got to work and Bigger Kid watched a little TV till breakfast of weird tasting cereal and crunchy french toast sticks. Twinkles got up and we played for a while till we got ready to go play Volleyball.
I and the girls had a great time. I am getting much better and feel more confident in my abilities.
Twinkles had some noodles and rice cereal and cheese for lunch. Bigger Kid had a PBJ and blue chips. I had my leftover Bowties and sauce.
I put Twinkles down for her nap and Bigger Kid and I went outside to PLAY. and I gotta tell ya, I haven't been on a swing in a L-O-N-G time! After a while I was starting to not feel so good and had to stop due to motion sickness. But then we raced around a bit and had to stop because (while NOT in the middle of a race) Bigger Kid tripped on "a thing back there" and fell pretty good and got dirty. She has a thing about not wanting to get dirty... which I appreciate.
Then we came back in and played the game where I draw something and she guesses what it is and she is pretty darn good at guessing.
Then it was time to go get Twinkles out of bed. She was still pretty loopy when I brought her down and pretty silly.
We went outside to walk around till their dad got home and what a nice reunion that was.
I then rushed off to get my grocery list and get food then I rushed home to make dinner and clean up a little bit. Then we ate dinner of Scrambled eggs, muffins, and sausage. I then RUShed to the shower and now I am ready to go teach some youth how to boogie down to Charleston town.

Daily Entry
Today, I was really tired when GoodLooking got up for work. I didn't even hear his alarm go off. I finally noticed that my heat supply wasn't there so I got up and made him lunch and decided to stay up because I had to be up in 30 minutes anyway. I showered, got ready, relaxed, then proceeded to fall asleep and be late to work.
Bigger Kid got up and I let her watch TV till she woke up fully and had breakfast. Twinkles woke up so I went to get her and feed her a bottle. She has an ear infection right now so I had to giver her ear drops. It was going so well till I realized I had not compensated for my left not being her left (I don't have kids so I am not used to such things). I just flipped her over and gave her new drops in the correct infected ear. She did really well on both sides but the background picture on my phone got changed in the process.
We played several chasing games and then Twinkles desperately needed a nap so I put her down. I like watching her lids droop and eventually close while I rock her.
After her nap, we all went outside. Twinkles is pretty good about saying "socks" and "outside" and gets thoroughly excited about it. She gets in the swing and usually she likes it but it didn't last long today (I think it is because I forgot her had today). Then she found a dirty ball and Bigger Kid found some mud so we went back inside and watched an American Girl Doll movie. Actually interesting because there were two actors in it that I recognized.
After the movie, I left and came home and fell asleep on the couch till I had to make dinner of bowties and spinich sausage with salad.

Gentle Hydentist
So I know its been a while since I posted and I don't have anything to say other than I just don't have much notable news lately.
I have been going to Aerobics off and on for a while and I really like it. The girls there are wonderful and I am starting to kind of feel part of something here (huh? it's ONLY been 9 months).
I love when I get to spend time with my friend every Thursday. We do different things every week and I like that on the third Thursday we go make cards with other ladies for the troops to send home to their loved ones (I can't find the link right now to the website so you can make them too but I will get that for you later). We have such a great time!
I am working for a family in our ward watching their two little kids (Bigger Kid and Twinkles) Monday through Wednesday.
We are renewing our lease at our apartment (I think) so we are painting soon.
We get to go to Scotland soon.
Smalls is coming next week for an interview at the place where GoodLooking works (If she gets the internship, she gets to live here with US... I feel soooo lucky and we will have some family for a while... If not, at least she gets a free trip out to see us)
I start school in 6 months (again)
The mother of the kids I watch is a Dental Hygienist and once a week I ask Bigger Kid what her mom does or where her mom works and every week it is the same thing but different name. General Hydentist. Then it was teeth cleaner. Then this week it was GENTAL HYDENTIST. and she made up a word, pafecious: (sneaking out of bed at night and**) reading the same book over and over again.
I am trying to teach Twinkles how to say "all done" with her hands so that when she is done swinging or eating or whatever she can tell me instead of scream and me not know what she is wanting.... So far, she only does it when she is in the high chair (done eating) or when I am giving her a bottle before nap time... AND when she is done I sit and rock her for a couple of minutes till her lids are heavy and she likes to nod her head till I nod my head then she giggles.... SOOO cute.... and she isn't even MY kid.
**she didn't mean to say that but I think it is funny
