Getaway

With spring break Bud and I decided we should get a bit of couple time. Mom was willing to watch the kids so Bud made reservations at a local resort for one night. We went to dinner and walked around some shops and mostly got to vistit with each other. Good news: We still like each other and have stuff in common.

But the whole thing was kind of spur of the moment so I forgot to pack:

Shampoo
Conditioner
Comb (seriously)
Moisturizer (my face was so so dry)
Socks ( luckily I brought twelvety hundred pairs of shoes that required socks)


And also my sense of humor/youth. The people next to us were so loud. Apparently when you are 22 you don't need to sleep, ever. At 12:30 we finally called downstairs because of the loud music. This had no effect. At 2:30 we called again, and again didn't seem to bother them. It was frustrating because we just wanted to get some sleep, luckily we finally fell asleep about 3 am, and we slept until 9:30. So it was about the same amount of sleep we get here. Oh well we still had fun. And it is good to know we are THOSE people who will call security on your ass when you are too loud. Officially we are old. I had suspected this.

What???

Does this look like the face of someone who won't sleep???




Maybe this will help her to sleep better? Would that be wrong? Maybe I should drink it!


Or maybe if I buy more of it for Bud I can run away for a day and get some sleep.

Vanishing

The last month or so has been brutal.

Sleep

-Ellie has been sleep for shit the last few weeks. Two nights last week she was up from 9:30 to 1:30, not cool. In the past we were able to just lay her down at night and she would go to sleep on her own. Not anymore. Now I have to hold her til she falls asleep, I know I shouldn't but some times you do what you gotta do.

-Even if Ellie is sleeping, I am awake for hours every night. Just can't sleep, until 20 minutes before my alarm goes off.

- Why is it if you go a few nights without sleep couples must fight???

Sickness

- Ellie had some viral thing with an awesome fever.

- The following week Maddie has a double ear infection and pink eye.

-The week after that I had to leave work early to pick up Owen because he had a fever.

-Bud and I can't get sick because we need all our days for the kids.

Health

-Ha Ha...

Work

- The quarter ends next week and I have piles of grading to do before then.

- People in my department have been talking behind my back about me doing a shitty job this year. Which I have, so I need to get my self together.

Misc.

-My license is expired, to renew I have to get all these documents together. So I need to order a marriage license from my first marriage I really tried to block it out, now I have to pay money for documentation. Fuck

Sleepless in Blogland

Guess which child is currently not sleeping????? Yes, it is Ellie. I just finished my homework for my last quilting class. Here are a few thoughts...


Oobi = baby crack

Sinus headaches for 3 days = suck

Expired Drivers license = No Sudafed

Meth addicts = Assholes

Assholes = Win

by the transitive property Meth addicts = win

Zee on Nick Jr. = Love

Sleep = Never gonna happen.

Karma truly hates me

So this morning after waiting in the stage guest area we were herded out to the stage, and they were short 4 seats. I don't know what happened, but we got bumped. I can't tell you how bitterly disappointed I am. We got to sit in the second row, but we missed out on an opportunity of a lifetime.

OMG

So, not to be all braggity because as we know karma is watching, but tomorrow is going to be awesome. The President will be at my school, and I will be on stage for the town hall meeting. Holy cow. I have know idea what I will wear. No matter political affiliation I think it is pretty cool. Ok, must look through closet for 100003475 jillionth time.

Karma is a bitch, with time on her hands

Tuesday night we went to dinner for a school function. We brought all the kids, and Ellie was stuck in her car seat the whole time. She ate her dinner, and smiled at everyone. People kept commenting on what an awesome baby she is. I kept telling them to keep their voices down, but the universe heard them.
Ellie was awake from 11:30 to 2:15, I have to be up at 5:00 so work was full of awesomeness yesterday. We had a feeling daycare would call, and sure enough Bud had to pick her up during lunch. We played pass the baby for the last 2 class periods. Today I am home with her. Next time people say she is a good baby, I will put up fight.
So a heads up, karma does not have a long to do list, she will kick you in the ass, ASAP.
