You put the accent where?

I never really considered the fact that a book fair is something that children are not born understanding. Tiny ran in to the school library while I was dropping off food in the teacher's lounge and as I was about to walk into the library she ran out and said 'You need money for the books!', like it was this huge revelation and she needed to let me know before I made the mistake she had made. I guess maybe I should've explained exactly what we were walking into before we got there. Oh well, however bad I may have felt for her naivete, it was quickly erased when kept refusing to comprehend the fact that we were only going to buy two books. I think I said it four times and she still tried to give me three. Those are the moments when you have to wonder if your child is an idiot. I mean seriously?! Did I stutter? Then trying to somewhat control the quality of book she chose while still letting her pick books that she was interested in required a lot more patience than I had expected. You'd think that a school book fair would have fewer crappy choices but you'd be wrong.

Diva has been a little terror this week. She hates other people (hopefully just for this week) and is getting pretty pissed off that they keep trying to hold her. She's been crabby and tired and sleeps like poo and has been just all over the place. I'm pretty sure she has also decided that I'm ugly. And stupid. And smelly. But mostly just really ugly. She keeps covering my face with things. Her favorite is to take a dvd off the shelf and hold it up to my face until I take it away from her. I think she would prefer if I just held a piece of paper in front of my face all day long. Or maybe she's trying to tell me she wishes Mari Windsor was her mommy this week. Touche eleven month old, touche. (sidenote: I wonder how one does an accent mark in blogger. I'm sure I could gurgle (even further to the side: this is from a commercial and if you haven't seen it or the movie it advertised it's an out of touch mom's way of saying google) the answer but I'm too lazy for that)

What's for dinner?: Open face stroganoff sandwiches which were delicious and made me sad that Michael couldn't be around to try them because it's one of the few meals I've made lately that I think he might really have liked.
