Various

Here I am sitting at the computer when I should be getting dinner ready, but I am having a dilemma. I had an allergy treatment for sugar. So for 24 hours I can't touch, breath, or eat sugar. Hopefully after 24 hours I will be able to eat sugar without any allergic reaction. So I can't put away the honey sitting on my counter because it is a sugar. I can't put away the peanut butter because it has sugar in it. I can't wipe off the table because there are bread crumbs which have sugar in it. An old peanut butter sandwich is sitting on my table because I can't touch it. :) I am trying to figure what to cook for dinner but I can't search to much in the fridge because the various food has sugar in in. So here am I sitting here in defeat. Instead of trying, I just gave up trying to cook or do anything.

Some funny things that have been said by Cariña. She has become so sassy lately. It is pretty funny when not involved. On Sunday Cariña wasn't listening to Sam and Sam was getting frustrated and getting her in trouble. He said, "Cariña you need to always listen to me." She responded as she was stomping around avoiding eye contact, "You need to always listen to ME!" So he said, "Don't I always listen to YOU." She of course is still stopping around and said, "I WISH!" Since I wasn't involved it was really funny. I had to escape to a corner and turn around and not laugh out loud. Where does she get this sassiness from, I don't know. I guess from Sam and I.

Helaman is starting to repeat some things. Now he is clearly saying shoe, down (even when he wants up) and nana (banana). I thought I over heard him repeat no when Cariña told him no, but hasn't used it since. I am glad about that. He also finds the weirdest toys. Today he decided he wanted to play with my heavy (probably 5 lbs) 1970's hand blender. He is just waddling around the house lugging this thing around. Maybe I should get him some cars for Christmas. :)

Yesterday Felipe and Krystin were over yesterday helping with dinner. Yesterday was a terrible day for everyone, but I made it though only because Felipe and Krys were here. They also had an eventful night because while they were here cleaning the jalapeños for jalapeño poppers (yum!), while I was out shopping for dinner, Cariña decided not to listen to them and took a bite of the pepper. Poor girl started hurting. She took a HUGE drink of water. Then tried to go to the bathroom but threw up instead. She was crying for about 45 mins afterwards. Then Helaman fell off the chair. I am sure I will never be able to get Felipe and Krys to babysit for me again! :) Thanks Felipe and Krys I owe you big time!
