Little Girls, Little Boys, Everywhere I look... I see them...

DB got notification to do Security at the Sounders Game today - and he got all the way there, and found out that his company's contract got canceled - but the company didn't get notification until the last minute.  So it ended up costing MORE for him to go over to Seattle today than he got paid.  Crap!

But he got a nice ferry ride.... twice.....   with dirty windows....

Nathan was very fascinated by our sound machine. DB got one in the mail because he suffers from ringing in the ears, and I can get it too - but his is absolutely constant.  He got hearing aids that play waves sounds in his ears all day - which has had some surprising effects on him.  His Anxiety had decreased a lot.  His anger issues - quick to anger issues - are nearly gone.  His depression has lightened.  He's happier.  It's crazy what this has done for him - it's amazing.

So because he cannot wear the hearing aids at night, and he needs constant noise,  The Audiologist suggested we get this sound machine that plays Thunder Storms, Waves, Nightime sounds like frogs and crickets....

So Nathan had a grand old time playing and combinding the sounds....

Personalized Bib that Kale's Grandma dropped off....   I was just having fun with focus....

Clairah came today.  She was dropped off and picked up.  She was dropped off about 9:20 AM and picked up around 7:45 PM ...  (visitation is 9 to 8)

I wasn't feeling good so I didn't get a lot of pictures, but Clairah was in and out giving Nonna hugs and telling me about her day with Elly.  Clairah got a little aggressive at one point, choked the cat and was laughing, and hit Elly in the head.  I reminded both Kale (who hasn't had kids before) and Shila that this is actually a very normal part of 2 year old development - especially with a little girl who just became a big sister which can be super tough when you have Mommy's attention 100% of the time to having to share attention.  Sent them a great article over FB to read and told them that the most important thing is to be consistent with the discipline over it.

But I went to check on them and found this...  I mean - ADORABLE.... Clairah has Mac & Cheese all over her.... LOL ...

Elly started to fuss before I left the room, so I swiped her.   Wanted to make sure Clairah got her full nap and Shila was exhausted ...

When they got up I had just made Elly a bottle and Clairah came up on the bed, and she wanted to feed her Sissy so I got her all set up to do so and she did.   She did a great job.

I asked Clairah, I said "did you hit Elly earlier?"  and she looked up at me and says "ah-huh" and I just calmly told her that she can't hit Elly, she's so small and she could get hurt, and it isn't nice to hit.  We don't let anyone hit her, so she shouldn't hit anyone else too.  she nodded ...   LOL... it was cute.

Kaedyn being silly ....

So ... many many moons ago I took this picture - shortly after Kaedyn was born.  It's always been one of my favorites.....

So I demanded a re-creation!

I love my kids!  All of them.... even the adopted ones....

This is Elly and Gallifrey cuddling ....

Shila caught this pictures of Me and Elly, and even DB ....  and our "hands" holding her....

So at one point today ...  I made a comment to DB that is probably not so appropriate to share.  But I have to - because it was funny as F***!!!

Okay - so - he's been working security jobs. And he's been working with this one woman.  I keep teasing him.  First time I heard about this lady he messages me and says "Hey, this chick needs a ride home from the ferry - she lives close enough to us.  Hope you don't mind."  I replied back - HELL YEAH I MIND ......  and told him to stop screwing her in the bathroom on the ferry.  He replies back "ew!" ....

So tonight he was sent to do security for a Sounders game (usually he's working during the Seahawks games) ...  their group got there (including this chick - who I guess saw him on the boat and was all .... "DB!!!!" running through the ferry like she was some Baywatch Bimbo.) ....

I told him to stop sleeping with her in the bathroom.

(snort) ...

They all got sent back home - they weren't needed (insert eye roll here) .... and he gave her a ride home.

I said "you better not have given her any ride!?"

He goes "the only one who rides that - is you - and you are the only one that ever will"

I said "Better be, or I'll hunt you down and hurt you."

He says ... "What about them?  They don't get hurt?"

I looked at him seriously - I said "Please, they'll never find the body."

He bust out laughing.   But it's true.  They never will.  Ever.   I watch too much True Crime.

So um....  update on the hotel explosion .....  there is one that was injured (a gas company worker) and 2 are still missing....   Scary ......
