Hmmm...I haven't posted in a few days...mustn't be much to talk about.
Which is a good thing...or not...
We had a pretty good weekend. Didn't do much of anything or go anywhere. Just lazed around the house.

I did get sucked back onto ebay though. It had been awhile since I'd gone on. Once I go on...I can't get off. It's like being in the most convenient shopping centre in the world and you don't have to get off your duff. They have everything you could imagine to look for. Good stuff....crappy stuff...just type it in and it's there.
I go to look for some sensory toys for Cuyler and end up with a page of vibrators.
...I did type in "vibrating toy" though.
And I wanted to look for those water wiggler toys. I remember them from when I was little. They would always pop and it looks like your giving a handjob when you hold it. But it's a good sensory toy. I found the perfect one for Cuyler - a Wiggles Water Wiggler!!! I can "Buy It Now!" for 2 bucks or wait for the end of auction and bid 50 cents for it. I asked about shipping...EIGHT DOLLARS U.S. to ship it. No way. So...no water wiggler for Cuy. Not this one anyways.
I did get a chew tube for him. The speech & occupational therapist both recommend he have one for his need for oral stim. I found one for 6.50 + 1.00 shipping - which worked out to 9.50CDN. Still cheaper than in the catalogues. They're about 12 bucks.
I still have 5 items on watch. 4 are sensory toys for Cuy, 1 is a Juicy smocked top for me.
...pleeeease Sean?!?!

We got into a bad habit of letting Cam watch tv in our bed at his bedtime. That led to him being up and down the stairs bugging us for drinks and snacks and stalling going to sleep until 10 or so. I am so not okay with that! I feel bad for him...his nose is just so out of joint I think. Everybody that comes, comes for Cuyler. We usually go places - for Cuyler. So we were trying to appease him by letting him stay up later and watch Treehouse, when in actual fact - he really just wants those 5 or 10 minutes of US just snuggling in his bed with him reading. So he got to watch 1 show, from 7:30-8 then straight into bed for a story and a snuggle. He was fast asleep by 8:20.
I am craving the routine and schedule of the school year, however - I have NO freakin idea how I'm going to be organized enough to get them both out the door by 9. I will have to pack Cam backpack and prep Cuys food the night before I guess (as we will need to provide his gfcf food). Plus if I'm working - throw me into the mix of having to get ready and put a face on before stepping out. I don't know how working Mums do it.

Yikes...I just watched Six Feet Under - very emotional episode tonight. I was supposed to wait for Sean to get back from hockey and watch it with him at 10. But I couldn't wait...

I'm gonna go check out ebay before heading to bed...

I understand about getting very odd hits when you type in something you want on-line. I was researching finger puppets for my drama class and "finger play" brought out some, well, bizarre hits.
Anyway, you seem to be doing great - all my love and positive energy.
