I have to kill you now.....

Well, my best buddy will know what I'm talking about with that title. But I haven't gotten around to sharing this with the rest of you. Here goes....

My 3 yr old was being really naughty.....I mean....really naughty. So I yelled at her and told her that she has to be nice! When I yelled at her....her face went totally blank and she looked down at the floor. I was surprises...thinking...boy...she actually feels bad. Wrong. She raised up her head again and looked me in the eye and very seriously said.."I have to kill you now." Then she stomped out of the room towards the kitchen. I sat there, dumbfounded, thinking....could she be going to get a knife? What the heck? Well, I keep all my big knives wedged in between the counter and the wall, so there's no way she could get a hold of them. So really, I had no idea what to expect....maybe she's mad and gonna go get herself a drink of milk?

Nope.

She came back with the carrot peeler and waved it in my face and said..."YOU BE NICE TO ME, MAMA! I GONNA KILL YOU!" Oh it was precious....Ummabdurrahman suggested to me that she was prolly gonna peel me to death and feed me to the cannibal. LOLOL!!

Nevertheless, I took that peeler out of her hand and gave her a firm talking to. We made up...and I still live. But I wish you could all see her precious 3 yr old face as she looked me in the eyes and pronounced my death. She's a gem, I tell ya!

Oh yeah....it's my bday today. I don't feel anything interesting about it at all. I'm expecting that my mom will call me....my niece called me last night. She never forgets a bday. I love that about her. My hubby will no doubt remember that it's my bday.....I have his cell phone programmed for it...next time he comes to Egypt, I'm going to erase all of the stuff I programmed on there. I think for the bday message I wrote something like...ur 1st wife's bday...hopefully this year better than last. Last year he forgot my bday....just like he forgot our anniversary this year....in fact, he booked his plane tickets back to Canada 2 days before our anniversary. Go figure.

So I'm taking the day off today....I don't want to do anything....although I really should. Gonna make myself a plain dinner. My kids wanted to buy me a present or something....but I absolutely refused. I only asked that when my 14 yr old come home from school today that she bake me a carrot cake, cuz I really feel like eating it. Talking about my 14 yr old. She didn't want to go to school today....she pleaded with me to stay home....tears in her eyes and everything. Telling me that she wanted to stay with me on my bday. She wanted to make me happy. What a sweetheart.....I told her just to go to school and let me worry about being happy. I know she'll enjoy making me the carrot cake when she comes home.

No tutors today either. So that means the night is ours.

I went to the OBGYN yesterday and had an ultrasound. All is well, alhamdulillah....and it's a singleton. Baby was way to small to see more than that. I wonder why ultrasounds aren't considered kiddy porn? LOLOLOL!! I could see you going to get an ultrasound and there's a little warning on the screen....Nudity WILL be seen. Now that would be funny!

So I have this affair going on with beets you know? I love pickled beets. I used to buy myself a jar in Canada and eat the whole thing. And then pee red for the next couple of days...LOLOLOL!!! But here in Egypt....although beets are readily available....egyptians do little more with them than add it to pickled turnips to make them turn a pretty color. So about a couple of years ago.....I made my first jar of pickled beets. It was delicious...and it was gone before you could snap ur fingers......I LOVE THEM! My kids aren't too hot about it tho. But the kids like the beet greens sauteed. Those are yummy. When you buy the beets, they have all the greens on it....and the veggie guy cuts off all the greens and then gives u just the beets. Last time, I told him give me it all.....hence the sauteed greens. So anyways....what was I talking about here? Oh yeah......the beets.

So my american friend tells me she makes this beet salad. So yesterday, I bought 1 kg of beets and called her up on how to make it. Doesn't seem too hard.....so I made it last night and let it sit. This morning I ate a good size portion of it....it's okay....I like pickled beets better tho......and I keep going back to the fridge to sneak one. (notice the red drippings down all the front racks in the fridge??) I've almost finished the entire thing. I just don't know when to stop!! The 3 yr old was bugging me to have some....so I put a beet on a fork and gave it to her....she nibbled some of the tip of it with her front teeth and told me...I LIKE IT! Then she made a funny little face. She held on to that fork for a good 5 mins...nibble...nibble....nibble....until finally she gave in and told me...DIS-GUSTING!! And handed over the fork. At least she was making sure. If I was quick I should have told her...."I have to kill you now!" You gotta like beets to be on my team!

Was watching a bit of the Grudge this morning.....it was on Satellite.....but then my 3 yr old started making that irritating noise....so I changed it to the kids MBC 3 channel. Now, I don't find that movie all that scary....but that noise? It's unnerving. Especially the couple of parts in the movie where you can JUST barely hear the noise in the background.....it's so quick and low that you think...OMG...was that the noise? But u can't quite be sure. Now that's scary to me! And you know what movie I was watching by myself and got pretty scared with? I mean....I called out to my kids to see if they were still awake....and only my cannibal hadn't fallen asleep yet....and I asked her to come sleep with me.....LOLOLOL! Ur all gonna laugh.....but it was White Noise. No, really. I don't know why....but it freaked me out. It's that same sensation as the Grudge actually. Where those voices are saying something but you can't quite make them out.....I wonder why that scares me so much? Any ideas out there, Dr's?

********************************

And that's all I have to report at the moment....I plan on having a nice lazy day.....gonna do a tag.....and drink an entire bottle of Coke myself without sharing any...no matter how bad my kids bribe me. So there!
