Uncontacted tribe sighted in Amazon

Did you see this? It almost seems fake? Why does the one person look like a gorilla?

Worst dream ever.

I exclusively have bad dreams, just ask Jake. Common bad dreams include being FURIOUS with Jake or my mom, just now realizing I was a few credits short of graduating from UNI thus invalidating my MA degree or forgetting to go to class and then having to take a test.

But, last night I had a real nightmare. I woke up with tears running down my face and soaking my pillow, unable to breath and feeling I was going to be sick. I dreamt that Norelle's birth parents decided we were not good parents and choose to give her to another family. They came and just took away from us. I was beyond devastated and crying uncontrollably. I was trying of figure out what I said or did wrong to make them do this. The agency bought us another baby but I was screaming "I don't want another baby, I want Nori!!" It was so real and so horrific. I don't think it takes Freud to interpret this one. For once, I was actually glad to wake-up.

Nori rolls ( the verb not the noun)

One minute she was on her back and by the time I finished brushing my teeth, she was on her tummy with a shocked look on her face. We had big day...in addition to the rolling she had her 4 month checkup. She weighs 14 lb 4 oz and is in the 60% for weight and at 24.5 inches the 40% for height. It was a good check-up, before too long we will be experimenting with baby food...

I'm Erin Brockovich this week, minus the Harley dude babysitter, cleavage and climbing in wells. Jake is in NYC at some finance-y thing. Today he heard Newt Gingrich speak and I guess he was bashing Bush. Better late that never. Newt (his name is NEWT!!!) said that Obama is attracting all the middle class except the educated feminists who like Clinton. Jake said "Oh, except you". I didn't know he thought of me as a feminist? I guess all these years of making him do the dishes while I chew tobacco have paid off.

Glorious three day weekend ahead!

First off, Jake is not dying nor is he going blind but I am sure he appreciates your concern. My non-blind husband and I are looking forward to a leisurely weekend at home with Schnookers.
Here's what's on the agenda for the next three days:

• cooking
• Mom & Baby Yoga class
• picnic
• sleep
• ice cream with friends
• walks
• Paul (Nori's birthfather) visits
• assembly of baby's new dresser

Mr. Sensible of Shoe

Mr. SoS is falling apart. He has been having one malady (as he calls them) after another. There is the ongoing hair loss (or development of the Steve Seltz Spot) that we try to ignore, carpal tunnel from holding the baby, the neck fungus and the big issue is his ongoing eye redness and irritation. He has been going to his eye doctor for almost 5 months trying new drops and not wearing his contacts but to no avail. Yesterday he went to a new eye doctor who is a cornea specialist and wrote the first textbook for Lasik. Anyway, this doctor says that Jake must have had a virus in his eyes back in December and his white blood cells attacked that virus leaving abrasions/proteins on his cornea that may never go away and almost inflammation under eye lids. So, it's back to more drops and only glasses. The doctor said that he may not be able to wear contacts ever again and that Jake is a good candidate for this eye surgery called PRK which is kind of like Lasik but different. Personally, I think this was caused by endless hours of reading boring financial research about companies no has ever heard of. The good news is that if he does go blind we can just train Dorothy to be his Seeing Eye Dog, although I think she would only steer him to places with food. For now, it looks Mr. SoS is going to be one of those dudes with prescription sports goggles strapped to his head running around the tennis court.
