Random.

It's late. And I'm tired. Perfect time for some random blogging thoughts.

**I often wonder if an unborn baby has ever broken out of the uterus and popped through it's mother's skin. If not, my baby may be the first. He's a mean little sucker.

**Halloween is bizarre. We dress up, knock on random people's doors, and ask them for candy. What?

**Somehow, I caught Mike in a moment of weakness and he agreed to go to Disneyland. He's been saying "no" since Jaida was born (although if I really pushed it he would have said yes because he's nice like that). But when I asked one more time, he agreed. So we're going. In two weeks! Wahoo.

**It's disgusting when I can actually feel my skin stretching.

**We had to break down and get a new car (new to us--it's a used car). The 4-runner isn't big enough for 2 boosters and a car seat. So we traded in the truck. It was a sad day. We loved the truck. But we love the new car too. Only now I'm a nervous driver. New cars will do that to you.

**Lately, my eyes have started to burn from looking at the computer too much. Bad.

**I went to Costco today (twice, actually) and found a little gem (though I didn't buy it because I'm trying to be more frugal--it's not working very well). They have a collection of Roald Dahl books. If you're not a Roald Dahl fan, there's probably something wrong with you. The BFG is one of the best books ever written. Ever. I may just have to go back and buy it. Or someone can give it to me for my birthday! That's a good idea.

**I still can't figure out why I enjoy watching the Biggest Loser. It's a mystery. I missed last week and couldn't believe they voted off the lady whose husband and baby were killed in a car accident. Kick her while she's down. Ouch.

**Now that Jaida's in Kindergarten, we have begun the wonderful process of learning to read. And it has become quickly apparent that Jaida is a "guesser". She doesn't even look at the words half the time. She just starts saying words to guess what might come next. It takes a lot of energy for me to not get frustrated by that.

**Mya's new favorite things to say: Boomshakalaka (story about that in my Halloween post),
"I don't know" (she'll say that in response to pretty much anything I ask her before she completely listens to what I ask) and "What the crap?"

**And, as I'm typing, the little man in my stomach just took his elbow or some other pointy body part and drug it all the way across my stomach. Yes, it hurt. Yes, I poked him back.

Time for bed.
