Dancing Princess

I was trying to get Violet to settle down tonight after dinner so that I could go take a shower in peace so  I put on Barbie's Twelve Dancing Princesses (a really cute movie) on my computer with her swing set up in front of it for her to watch.  It's got really pretty music and dancing in it.  I was holding her in my lap at first and she got sucked right into the movie.  Her eyes got really big and she started cooing and gooing, and then she started to try to stand up and kick her little legs.  It was so cute, she knows she's a dancing princess!  I wish I could have gotten it on video, but I was holding her and talking on the phone to my mom, and I just don't have enough arms, but my mom was a witness to the cooing!  Anyway, it worked, I was able to put her in her swing and take a shower, and when I got out she was sound asleep.  She's such a little angel.

As a side note, my mouth is finally starting to feel much better.  I was able to eat dinner tonight with the family without wanting to die, so that's good.  I'm sure I'll be all better in another week or so.  It's almost too bad, I might have been able to drop all the baby weight if it had gone on for another couple of weeks!  I guess I'll just have to start exercising and do it the hard way.

Only one more day till Karl comes home, I'm so excited.  I miss him so much, but he's doing really well.  He really is a natural teacher, and he enjoys it so much, it makes me happy that he's found a job he can really enjoy.  We keep in touch with Skype, so the boys and me get to see him every day.  It really helps to be able to actually see him  instead of just talking over the phone.  The boys absolutely love it, Sam thinks he's stuck inside the computer.   

Well, I'm gonna go kiss the boys goodnight and hit the sack myself.  All is well in the Clinger home.

My Mouf Hurts!

I had my last wisdom tooth out last Tuesday and my mouth is still killing me!  To compound the situation, I also have a killer canker sore on the same side as well!  I've been on a liquid diet for a week now (and it's actually starting to show, not a terrible consequence)!  I get the stitches out in the morning, hopefully it's healing well.  Karl's gone again, but just for five days this time.  He's in Santa Clara this time.  His boss says it's really rare to have to be gone for two weeks in a row, I hope he's right because this could get really old really fast.  Thankfully the boys are all pretty good, and really good helpers when I need them to be, I just wish they wouldn't push each others buttons so much.  But what can you expect, there's three of them and they'll all pretty much the same age, and they're boys!  I'm grateful to have J here to help me too, I'm really going to miss her when she's gone.  Anyway, nothing really new here, just a little bored and lonely.  If my mouth didn't hurt so bad I'd take the family somewhere tomorrow, but it's really unbearable still.  Oh well, this too shall pass!  Good night!
