happy birthday two you.

WOW!
over 4 months ago, after heather and mike‘s precious madeline passed away, a video was posted of sweet maddie. this video is my absolute favorite of all the videos heather and mike have been so generous enough to share with me… with the world.
since the moment i saw that video of maddie, paul and i have been working on jackson saying what we now refer to as “the maddie WOW.”
and finally we got it…
only now we can’t get him to stop saying it. but it’s ok, because with the magoo’s daily repetition of “WOW,” i think of maddie and the all-encompassing beauty that it is to truly be childlike.
ps- i apologize for my poor video editing skills… and the duplication. (i guess it just goes to show you how often jackson now says this word. ha!)

i have a book review due in a week… i have yet to read the book.
my friend‘s book drops (i love saying that) in less than a week and he is in need of MAJOR COVERAGE…
HELLO OPRAH!!!!!!!! ARE YOU OUT THERE?!?!?!
attempting to wrap things up with Blogher@Home though i feel completely inept.
so grateful for my partner in crime (who has a hot canadian accent) this lady… and her sweet family who went through what no mother should go through yesterday, being told by a doctor that they are calling child services on you.
fuck that doctor. i love you jenn.
magoo has 15 month check up plus vaccines in a few days… (note is on my desk.)
ohmygawd, jackson is 15 months old!!!
my downstairs neighbors and their kids YELL, SCREAM, JUMP ROPE, AND PLAY BASKETBALL IN THE APARTMENT STAIRWELL AND I WANT TO CLOBBER THEM… cuz it’s always when magoo is napping.
GO OUTSIDE KIDS!!!
i need to do laundry. lots of it.
accomplished groceries yesterday, so that’s a plus. we have food.
my husband is wonderful and let’s me try and save the world until i’m depleted of all energy, at which point he steps in and sets a 9 pm EST curfew for me and forces me to sleep. (thank you, my love.)
what month is it?
ah shit, it’s tuesday… and i hate tuesdays for my friend. and this friend too, who inspires me to be a better friend.
helped this friend last week with her precious one who is in need of GI tests run that jackson once had…
am i missing anything?
shipped out my old nursing gowns (that were barely used) to this friend yesterday in the hopes that she can get good use from them with her TWINS that are on the way.
i miss my family… wish they were closer.
jackson is napping. i want to nap.
what should i make him for lunch today?
i really need to start training for the 1/2 marathon i’m supposedly doing in january… shit.
