Snippets 2

Nicole Pogatchnik Beattie I just heard the ultimate insult: Norah was pestering Brynn about something, and Brynn couldn't get rid of her, and very sweetly said, "Hey Norah, why don't you go touch the spinning wheel?" Gotta love my Disney princesses... next time I'm sure she'll be offering her a nice shiny apple.

Nicole Pogatchnik Beattie I just got to the end of writing a letter, printing the letter (wrong first, then right), stuffing, sealing, stamping, and addressing envelopes, all to do holiday cards over a month late. It took all freaking day! THEN I realized, as I was inserting the Festive Holiday Greeting into like the 2nd to last card that there was an error right in the first sentence. Arg.

Nicole Pogatchnik Beattie I pulled out a bedtime story from the closet tonight... "Jacob, this book says, 'To Nicole, from Grandma and Grandpa P., December 1987'". Jacob: "Wow! That's almost the time of dinosaurs!" Yes, my son, some days it feels that way.

Nicole Pogatchnik Beattie Today, for some reason, I decided to change my hair color up a bit. Back in the day I used to opt for copper tones, which suit me well. The lady on the box had copper tones... somehow, I ended up with something I can only label "Great-Grandma Henrich Early 80s East Berlin Orange". Good times, good times.

Nicole Pogatchnik Beattie Wyatt's six month checkup today! I'm excited to see how big my little fatty fatty has gotten :)

Nicole Pogatchnik Beattie This morning Norah had a moment when she just wanted to stand in the living room and hold my hand. It was very sweet, and sort of made me think that there might be some humanity left behind those crazy eyes after all.

Nicole Pogatchnik Beattie This morning Norah saw a mess on the floor and was chanting, "dammit, dammit, dammit". This afternoon, Brynn was playing with her toys and chanting, "hallelujah, hallelujah". I don't use either of those words... where do they get these things?

Nicole Pogatchnik Beattie Know what I'm excited about today? A new vacuum filter is coming in the mail. Yes, that is what will make my day. Is it any wonder I can't find the motivation to do anything when this is all I have to look forward to? Grr, I'm having a grumpy week.

Nicole Pogatchnik Beattie Wyatt has an absolutely delicious baby smell today. I can't stop smelling him... I wish I could bottle it for the days when he doesn't smell quite so nice. Or make it into a candle, so my whole house could smell just like fat little baby.

  • Shelby Pogatchnik, Erin Gross, Lorie Haddad and 2 others like this.
    • Mitch Winterroth I'll take 10 candles please just name the price
      January 20 at 2:37pm · 
    • Nicole Pogatchnik Beattie Oh, you'll never believe it-- they're free! They even come with a bonus Norah! No returns though.
      January 20 at 2:48pm · 
    • Ashleigh Omlid Joorawon Mmm baby! Ao love the days when Jude smells like cake
      January 20 at 3:20pm · 
    • Nicole Pogatchnik Beattie I wish my kids smelled like cake!
      January 20 at 3:27pm · 
    • Mitch Winterroth i'll take the deal when can i expect delivery
      January 20 at 6:15pm · 
    • Kris Murphy I find this conversation mildly disturbing.
      January 21 at 7:31am · 
    • Nicole Pogatchnik Beattie Well, Mitch, I don't have the candles perfected yet, but I will send you Norah ASAP anyway. She now comes with earplugs. And Kris... you haven't met Norah. She is a horrible child and I want to give her away. She does not smell like cake or fat baby, and she would make you afraid of your own unborn child. Trust me.
      January 21 at 8:56am · 
    • Mitch Winterroth So is this UPS or FEDEX or US mail that I should be expecting... Also Ali wants to know the cost
      January 21 at 9:22am · 
    • Nicole Pogatchnik Beattie I'll put her in one of those vacuum shrinky bags to get her in a smaller box... I wonder if I could get her into one of those flat rate boxes...
      January 21 at 9:32am · 
    • Mitch Winterroth Haha well I don't want damaged product so maybe I'll send ali to get it

Nicole Pogatchnik Beattie would like to thank whoever chewed the gum just a little and then put it back in my purse. Nothing like sticky gum chunks all over everything... oh well, it's an excuse to wash my purse. Or maybe it's an excuse to buy a purse that is not machine washable... hm.

Nicole Pogatchnik Beattie Now this is more like it-- family time! Jacob tattling, Brynn whining, Wyatt playing with toys while Norah screams because they're hers. You just don't get this experience unless you stick everyone in the same room and say, "play nice". I love it!

Nicole Pogatchnik Beattie It's amazing how 47 degrees in Killeen makes me feel like not leaving the house, but 23 and sunny in Grand Forks is sweatshirt weather and a good day to run errands.

Nicole Pogatchnik Beattie Snowed in on Christmas, the whole family here together enjoying a warm fire on a cold day, Norah breaks her foot... *sigh* It's just like a Norman Rockwell painting.

Nicole Pogatchnik Beattie It would have been a lot more fun to ride the Hogwarts Express from Texas to North Dakota. We made it though, 20 hours, like 30 potty stops and a whole bunch of screaming later.

December 21, 2009

Nicole Pogatchnik Beattie Yesterday Brynn received a pink princess play phone at a Christmas party. So far, she has called Grandma once to tell her we're coming to visit, and made at least three calls to the police to ask them to come take Norah to jail.

Nicole Pogatchnik Beattie came home to find the hamster sitting happily in the dog dish. Luckily, the dog had already chased the cat into the laundry room and been put out for stealing a muffin and was in no immediate danger. However, two minutes after his safe return, Brynn stuck her finger in the cage and was promptly bitten. Some gratitude, Howard.

Nicole Pogatchnik Beattie Now they're not just sick... they're CRABBY! I am trapped in my house with Cranky McBooger and her sister Sniffle von Grumperstein. At least the cat has stopped sneezing...

Nicole Pogatchnik Beattie ‎"Why does it say paper jam when there is no paper jam?" Oh, I guess that would be because someone stuffed their ballet slippers in there.

November 25, 2009

Nicole Pogatchnik Beattie I have a new Douglas Preston book coming in the mail today. If I can get the house cleaned up, and no one cracks their head open or breaks a limb, then my reward will be an afternoon with Agent Pendergast... here I go!

November 24, 2009

Nicole Pogatchnik Beattie Amazon's gift suggestion for "the one that has everything": a pan flute. Now, I'm necessarily not saying my dad wouldn't want to recieve a pan flute for Christmas, but I'm pretty sure he would have to have a lot more "everything" before I considered that option.

Nicole Pogatchnik Beattie Norah found this to be very danceworthy, and it made me laugh out loud. Enjoy!

Bert & Ernie tries Gangsta-Rap

I was a bit bored last week, so I edited some old Bert & Ernie episodes to the sound of M.O.P.'s Ante Up. The song can be bought here: http://www.amazon.com/Ante-Robbin-Hoodz-Theory-Clean/dp/B001386YO4/ref=sr_f2_1?ie=UTF8&s=dmusic&qid=1219750431&sr=102-1 ...

Nicole Pogatchnik Beattie is listening to Brynn singing along with that timeless classic, "Do You Know the Mushroom Man".

Nicole Pogatchnik Beattie Sometimes not having a minute for yourself means you reach 3pm and realize the only things you've consumed all day are half a cup of lukewarm coffee, two bites of a mini bagel, and a piece of stolen Halloween candy. Not having 30 seconds to yourself is finding yourself wondering if you even peed today, and then getting distracted by something else before you figure out the answer.

Nicole Pogatchnik Beattie Rollerblading with Holly= pleasant recreational trip through the neighborhood with a dog who can hardly keep up with me. Rollerblading with Dexter= being pulled maniacally down hills and around corners at blistering speeds as he tries to catch the surprisingly fast Daisy... simply terrifying.

Nicole Pogatchnik Beattie After Jacob's lengthy lecture on why it's important to stay away from hot ovens, Bean seized the opportunity to touch the oven rack as I pulled out the muffins. Et tu, Monday?

October 5, 2009 at 9:58am

Nicole Pogatchnik Beattie Thinks Norah will probably not forget the valuable lesson that while in the tub, it is not necessary to lather up and wash your eyeballs.

Nicole Pogatchnik Beattie firmly, 100% believes that hell is other people... with their kids... at the commissary... on payday. "Welcome to the Hotel Hell. Check in time is now. Check out time is never."

September 30, 2009

Nicole Pogatchnik Beattie just got yelled at by an almost-two-year-old because I dared to ask if she was ok as she stood next to me and took a constipated little poop.
