From last night, had to rescue the post...

Laszlo has been testing like a mofo all day. He's actually being BAD, not just annoying. This is pretty new for him. And I'm not at all used to it and NOT at all liking it. He will hit Lily or something and just as I'm about to send him to his room, he says, "But I'm not going to DO THAT anymore." Then he finds something else awful to do.

Robert came home late tonight by no fault of his own, and he had told me on the phone that his boss yelled at him for something stupid. He didn't seem that upset about it. So when he walked in after 8pm and Laszlo was acting up...I told him that Laszlo had been acting up for over an hour. Robert said, "Can I just sit down for a minute?" Duh. So he sat down and said, "You know that I had one of the worst days ever at work, right?" Which he DID NOT. It was like he had to one up me from complaining about Laszlo's horrible behavior. Then he wanted to talk to me about it and didn't want me trying to fix the internet connection in the basement (which we set up last night and have been having consistent problems with since.) So I had to stop what I was doing, already annoyed by my son, to listen to Robert bitch about work...not being allowed to bitch about MY day, because he won, his day was worse (in his head.) And then he actually asked Laszlo if the reason he was misbehaving was because he (Robert) wasn't home. Are you fucking kidding me? EVERYTHING has to center around him. It's so fucked up. So I can't complain about it, and the CAUSE of the horrible behavior I'm not allowed to complain about is beloved Daddy's absence. OY.

And this internet thing is making me INSANE. I'm usually really good at fixing technical things and following directions. And this just is NOT working. ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

Internet update

So, we got these Netgear devices that Robert read about in the Wall Street Journal. They are a solution to wireless networking, especially in spaces where the connection is weak (like a basement).

We tracked them down on Sunday and Robert went to pick them up at 2 stores, since you need at least 2 of them.

They work through the electric outlets in the house. I initially brought down our old desktops to see which one was better for down here, and the internet connection kept crapping out. It was frustrating me to NO end. Then today after doing all the troubleshooting I could, I decided to try another outlet down here. Voila, internet. I think that the previous owners added the outlet I had used initially, probably for a small kitchen they had down here in the basement. Must not be on the same flow or something. But now we have internet and eventually we'll get a new computer so it won't be so cumbersome down here.

I love when stuff works, but I get crazy frustrated when it doesn't. Like way more than normal.

Yay me, it's working just fine...

Piggybacking Tristyn's post

Laszlo was talking about the baby today and he was saying that I ate her and that's how she got in my belly. Then he said that my belly's going to open up and the baby's going to come out, and then my belly will close again. So I told him (again) that the baby is going to come out of my vagina. Without blinking an eye he said, "So your vagina will open up and the baby will come out and then your vagina will close back up again."

Well said, my boy.

He hasn't asked yet how the baby GOT in my belly...I guess I'll have to prepare an answer. I'm not ready to tell him about penises going into vaginas, but I'll tell him something about Daddy planting a special seed or something hokey like that. Who knows, maybe he won't ask.
