What Goes Up, Must Come Down

Archive for February, 2010

I already have a ‘bite me’-day today … so anyone who slightly bothers me will really get it.
Knowing this, I was cycling to the shops to do some groceries. I park my bike there against such cycle-parkings. I have 2 kids with me on the bike  ! The ‘rule’ with such bikeparkings is .. ONE bike against each side of the parking-thingie. Now, that is not hard to remember, right ? YA THINK !

When I come back with 2 kids ( a 10 months old and a 2 y.o. ) I see someone has parked her bike right next to mine. Leaning ON MY BIKE. More like this pic and than my bike is somewhere in the middle …

Than already many things cross my mind ..
I mean, I have 2 kidsseats at my bike. Anyone can think that that MIGHT mean I have 2 kids with me. And how am I suppose to get them on my bike … when that one is leaning against it !!!!
I have to wait until that lady appears … and after a few minutes she is there. I am there … holding my 10 months old and 2 y.o. next to me.
She gets her bike … says nothing.

Me : Can I say something ?
She : What ?
Me : I am not that thrilled you parked your bike against mine …
She : Oh …
Me : You can see , due to the bike , I am a mom … so I am suppose to wait until you come back ? Where do you get off parking your bike against another bike ? You know you should not do that !
She : I wasn’t gone that long …
Me : Soooo ? What difference does THAT make ? WHY did you park it against another bike… who does that ? There is plenty of room ! Even when you are gone just a few minutes, for me .. HOLDING a 10 months old, that is LONG. Besides the fact I should not be the one explaining myself to YOU ! Why did you do this ????
She : Uh … yeah, well … sorry ????
Me : Sorry ? Are you mocking me by using it as a question ????? Are you really standing here and mocking me in MY FACE !!!
She : …. ( now she gets it … I am serious )
Me : You better go now, because you are realllllllllyyyy pissing me off ! And remember my bike well, NEVER put yours against it anymore, you won’t live to see yours if you do. GET IT ?

And there she went … gosh … I do hope she will think again before ever doing that again. Sjeeess !!! I have such a ‘bite me’ day … whooohooo !

Yesterday I went to a group called ‘de wereldband’ ( English Worldband ). They are really good. they sing, act and play sooo many instruments.

I found this video at YouTube. The first 10 seconds you can’t hear anything yet … and the best part is at the end when the second 3 men come up. They start ‘throwing’ with one of them.

This morning I decided to make oatmeal-cookies with Senna. I have been wanting to make them for a while.

Senna loved to make the star, doll and flower into the dough ! She had a good time.

After they were baked and cooled down she got grenadine and a cookie. It took her nearly half an hour to start eating it ( she chose a starcookie ). She just wanted to look at it. And might I add, she had a flaming fit when I started eating mine ! I had a doll .. haha and she got angry I was ‘eating’ the ’snowman’. Hahaha, serves me right ! Hehehe.

I can sooo dance … I know this dance by HEART ! Don’t judge me for it !

And I think the tubbies invented linedancing !!!

We are getting old at so many levels …

Yesterday , after several years, we decided to go see a movie at the cinema again. It had been ages ! We booked tickets for 20.00 pm Avatar 3D at The Hague. Knowing the movie would last 3 hours … we were convinced we would make it until 23.00 pm. Noooo problemo !!!

The evening of feeling VERY OLD started when we got to the parkinggarage. We saw at the internet the cinema had a deal with a parkingplace ‘nearby’. You could give the cinema your parkingcard and you would get a drive through card for just a few euro’s.

When we arrived and drove into the parkingplace … at around 19.30 pm ( at a place where many youngsters go out ) you’d think you would have to search for a spot to park. But nooo. It was one big empty space. We could park it where we wanted. Our conclusion than was … ‘ what is everyone álways whining about they can’t find a parkingspot ?’.

When we came out of the parkinggarage … we find out WHY it was so easy to find a space. The garage is HUGE ! And we were on one end of the garage … YUP, the wrong end. The one that made us walk for half an hour to get to the cinema ! The other end .. ,  WAYYYY closer, was just a few minutes from the cinema. Ahh sjeees !

Than we arrived at the cinema. When we enter, everything is suppose to be done automaticly. Even getting your booked tickets. We just can’t seem to get the tickets out of the machine ( ooolllddd ). Pfew … someone helps us and we can go to Avatar 3D. Being completely overwhelmed by the movie ( it is amazing – understatement – ) we get home around 23.30 pm. ( Yeah yeah, after walking for half an hour BACK to the parkinggarage … ).

Than the worst part happens. When we wake up this morning ! It felt like we had been drinking for ages … , having some kind of hangover ! We are both soo tired and grumpy.

Gosh … we should not get to the cinema anymore that late. I know I will make some youngsters laugh, but wait until YOU have had 2 kids within 3 years ! You get 10 years older in one night !

Oh dear lord … we are old … soooo old !!!

Well, I have been busy trying to potty-train Senna …. I can tell you the whole story … about how it is going … but … pictures might tell the story for me.

Ain’t going so well, right ????

Or is it me … and is it suppose to go like this ???
