Exterminate teething

Is there a line of nerdy teething toys? If not someone needs to get on that. Baby boy's teeth are just breaking through his gums and the ecstatic mother in me is loving that a Dalek is one of his favorite chew things.

I need to learn to stop myself.

I have a problem.

Whenever I start to clean it's hard to stop.

I know this is hereditary, because my father has this horrible habit as well. His especially comes out when he starts vacuuming. It is perhaps the most annoying thing in the world, because no matter what else is going on, he will just keep going! And then of course he'll start loudly complaining about how messy everything is, and you're like, "you didn't care five minutes ago when you were just sitting down!"

So, yeah. I need to make sure I don't get that bad. But this morning during my baby's nap I decided I needed to do the dishes, then while doing the dishes I felt a sticky spot on the floor by the sink. So I thought, I'll clean the kitchen floor. Then I thought, since I'm doing the kitchen floor. I may as well vacuum all the rooms besides the kids' room too. (Which the toddler did not like as she's sensitive to loud noises like the vacuum)

It's a problem. Thank goodness I stopped there.

Anglophile's Dream

So this morning I woke up just in time to talk with John the hubby before he had to go to work. I had a weird dream and felt the need to share it with him.

"Don't get mad but I had a weird dream."

John asked, "Ok.. What was it?"

"Well, I dreamt that I was married to David Tennant. I had to get something at the eyeglasses store and so he stayed in the car while I ran in. Inside a girl who happened to wear my shoe size (I have large feet, size 11) was trying to sell her shoes so she could buy her glasses but I only had $10."

".... Ok."

"And then David Tennant came inside to check on me and I was all, I need $15 so I can buy this girl's shoes and so he went to go get $15."

John looked at me suspiciously and said, "That's it?"

"Well, then David Tennant said, 'I promised myself I would never let anyone down!' all in his Scottish accent and then left to go get money."

"That's a weird dream."

"Yeah, but I honestly don't think he's as attractive as a lot of people do. But I would love just hearing him talk in his Scottish accent all the time."

John said, "Really, that's the only reason you'd want to marry him."

I said, "Of course. Isn't that why you like Karen Gillan?"

Then my loving husband said, "That and because she's hot."

The moral of the story is, David Tennant is a gentleman who would help you out with buying a pair of shoes so someone else could buy a pair of eyeglasses.
