Zoe's never going to poop again.

She's not going to have to. She's eaten about 20 plumbs in the past 2 days and just pooped enough in one go to last her a lifetime! Honestly, this was....unreal. Wow.

I survived

I took all 4 kids out by myself for the first time. More to the point, it was my first time driving anywhere other than the local store which is a minute away from the house, by myself without Rene or another experienced driver in the car! And I was going to a place I had never been before and had to study the map to figure out how to get there.

I was going to a La Leche League meeting, and getting there went fine. The kids enjoyed themselves, there are a couple of other homeschooling families there with older kids so Lana and Kaya had a great time too. We went out to eat afterwards too and the kids all did great.

I had forgotten though to plan a route home and I ended up driving round in circles for a bit before pulling over to call Rene at work and ask how to get home. He ended up confusing me more by mentioning about 5 differents routes with multiple road names I could possibly take. So I hung up (after saying goodbye of course) and just improvised and got home ok. phew.

Glad to be home now. For another hour or so then it's time to go drive and pick Rene up from work...(wish me luck)

Scottish word of the week - #4

I have an American Internet buddy who is moving to Scotland. I know she checks out this blog sometimes so I thought I'd revive the word of the week, to help her learn some of the language before she goes.


BAGSIE (BAG-zee)

To bagsie something is so claim it in advance. So you'd say "I bagsie first shot at the computer" or "bagsie the red pen".

In other words, I don't have my hand on the red pen yet, but don't touch it, I'm using it first, I've already bagsied it. There's really not an American equivalent to this word. It's unique and wonderful.


For reference, here are the previous word of the weeks:

scunnered

boggin'

beamer
