I sat down awhile ago to write an entry about some of the cute things my daughter has been doing lately. However, the only way she’ll allow this is by doing the not-so-cute thing of sitting in my lap and playing with her large microwave (One Quarter! At a yard sale Saturday! We’re so awesome!) placed between my chest and the keyboard. So, I’m currently typing with my arms wrapped around her and the microwave. I’m thinking that if typing tests were given in these conditions, results would be quite different. I am suddenly realizing how many keys I don’t know the placement of by heart since I can’t see the keyboard. I looked down to find the hyphen key and all I could see was a princess cup twirling on a rotating dish.
Not only is this physically complicating the blogging process - I mean, my arms are kinda short - it’s also trying on my mental translation of the words in the brain to the words on the screen. I’m trying to write about her new obsession with birthdays but all I can hear is this electronic voice saying, “Soup’s Ready! Be careful. It might be hot.” So - of course - instead of NikkiZ obsession about months, my words on the screen now tell me she’s obsessing about soup. And that’s not true at all.
So - I’ve opted to save the other entry for a time when I have more control over my blogging environment and instead use this opportunity to tell all of you women who have been blogging like this for ages longer than I have - THAT YOU ARE AMAZING.
That is all.
Okay either you did a spell check or something without her in your lap…or you did just awesome. LOL
I have tiny little t-rex arms and, while I don’t have a child, I have two overly affectionate cats. I feel your pain.
Totally understand you
I’m home w/Beans who is 2 and almost 5 months and Razz who is 5.5 months. I’ve been working from home since Beans was born.
Sometimes, I just pack up my laptop and work from my bed. It’s easier for Beans to roll around / play in our room (or her room next door…our rooms are on the second floor) and Razz to be next to me on the bed or in between my legs and in front of the laptop.
I think you should have included that little AndyZ is in there too! You’ve got two kids and a microwave in your lap! haha.
I’m trying not to giggle. I’m sure it’s annoying, but it sounds cute. My son has been clinging to me for days, now that I’m home full time.
It is a good day for soup!
Yay! Yard sale season will be upon us soon! If only winter would let up…
Hee. I’m laughing at the mental picture of this princess cup twirling around as you’re trying to type.
Oh wait til you have the baby and you learn how to blog and feed the baby at the same time (nursing or bottle). Or you have NikkiZ and the baby in your lap, AND you blog. It’ll happen. I’ve done it. And I don’t blog nearly as much as you (and that is meant in the nicest way possible!)(Because I love reading your entries!)(I’ll stop now)
