I deactivated my Facebook account temporarily. Probably just a few days. I feel like I just needed a break from "that world." It feels weird and good at the same time!
H has been traveling for business all week, and while he does that a lot, this is the first trip that Andy has really noticed that he is gone. He says DA? a lot. And when we got home last night, he said DADADADA?! and ran to H's side of the bed to see if he was there sleeping. Poor kiddo.
Only two more days until we leave for our trip! I'm so excited. Anyone have any tips on flying/hotel stays with a toddler? Packing advice?
I had a dream that a bird shit on my pillow. Now my neck is jacked up and I didn't sleep much because I spent all night avoiding the "shit pillow." Since I was asleep, that translated to all pillows. Grrr.
I'm reading the new Truth About Ruth post and in my depressed, semi-delirious, not right in the head state the phrase "last result urologist" is cracking my shit up.
I had a job interview yesterday that I think went really well. It was my 12th interview in 4 months. This is getting so trying. I really hope this one works out. It's not ideal, but it would definitely do for awhile.
DS sneaked some cookie last night- DH was holding him in one arm and had a cookie in the other. DS dropped the green bean he was supposed to be eating on the floor, so DH switched the cookie to the other hand, crouched down to pick up the green bean, and when he stood up, DS had broken off a chunk of cookie, and already had it in his mouth with the smugest look I have ever seen on a baby. I am still giggling about it this morning.
The time change is killing DD's sleep. She's still going to bed on time, but just cannot sleep past 5:50 in the morning. It's only about a half hour of sleep lost, but it's making a huge difference in her mood. I am so hoping we can get this sorted out this weekend.
I made a "southwestern" tater tot hotdish last with ground turkey. It was so good. Yes, there was cream of crap in it, I don't care. It just hit the spot on our first snowy day!
I actually got my butt out of bed to make it to the 5:30 RIPPED class at the Y. Go me!
Max has hockey pictures tonight and I know we are going to be late (we're supposed to be there at 5 and I work until 4:30) and it's going to be chaos. Not excited.

I'm getting my hair cut today before our trip....it really needs it! Then probably running some errands to prep for the trip. I worked my three shifts for this week in a row (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday) so I could have off a couple days before leaving on Saturday. Except I forgot we had a staff meeting this morning that I had to call in for at 7a.m. I'm in vacation mode damnit! I wanted to sleep in a not think about work until the 19th!
I wish I had more friends that lived around me. H has been working until midnight every day except Saturdays. I'm getting so freaking lonely spending every evening by myself.

I left my phone unattended at practice yesterday. I was the only coach there, so they had some downtime when I was working with one stunt group or the other. There's a shortcut on my lock screen that allows camera access without the pass code. I'm sure you know where this is going...
I need to go to bed earlier. I had been doing okay since the time change, but I think it's catching up with me.
I can't wait for the three day weekend because we don't have many plans. I need to go get my hair cut on Monday and I plan on walking around the mall while I'm there.
I am sitting on my hands so I don't post a snarky comment to a FB post that has been irking me. I can't wait to go home tonight. There is one other direct flight before my scheduled flight, but I don't think I can make that one, although I'd really like to.
Last night I get to Leo's daycare and our DCP told me that kids were dropping like flies today due to stomach bug. We get home and 20 minutes later Leo goes down for the count as well. Poor baby. Thankfully it was a swift bug. He slept decent and was able to keep water down by 11 pm. Now he is just HAAAPPPPPY and totally a delight. As long as the rest of us don't catch it I will consider us lucky that it wasn't terrible.
In the middle of Leo throwing up Jack said "Mom is there anything I can do for him." (heart) You know it is pathetic when your self-absorbed 5 year old even feels bad for him lol.
I went for a 4 mile walk / hike yesterday after work at the beach. We did three sets of stairs and lots of elevation climbs in deep sand in an hour and 15 minutes. My legs feel like jello today but in a good jello kind of way.

DS has his first cough. He was all sniffly and snotty yesterday, and now he's asleep on me and I can hear the phlegm rattling around in his chest. I'm paranoid that it's pertussis, even though he's been vaxed for it.
So, I've been hearing about this Sephora VIB sale. I was all, "I'M a Beauty Insider, where's my damn code?!?!" Then I went on Sephora and saw you have to spend $1,000 a year to reach VIB status. Now I'm blown away I know so many people who've met that threshold. I consider myself pretty spendy in the beauty department, but I guess not.
Anyone have any tips on flying/hotel stays with a toddler? Packing advice?
Get a few little new toys that he has never seen or played with. When he gets cranky on the place, grab a new one and he'll be fascinated. Bring lots of snacks too! Or benadryl, knock him out.

I think for VIB status it's $350. For VIB Rouge it is $1,000. Anything below and you are a "Beauty Insider".

Dd was up at 4, I think she's getting a new tooth or something. I have a wedding Saturday & still no idea what I'm wearing. H was gone last night. He'll also be gone tonight & tomorrow night. I'm probably going to go to my Aunts (2nd mother) because I know she'll take baby duty & by tomorrow evening I know I'll need a break.
I got my winter coat dry cleaned all excited to wear it and they couldn't get the coffee stains out of it. It's a white coat and I feel like there is this giant red arrow pointed directly to the stain. </3

ETA: Where are you guys going?
Great advice! I'll run out today on my lunch and get some goodies.
I woke up at 430 this morning to ants in my bathroom. I am SOFA KING sick of the goddamn ants in my home. I asked my landlord specifically about them and he said it'd be no issue if food is put away properly. FUCKING LIES.
AND I still can't figure out what they're attracted to in the bathroom. Ants don't like toothpaste do they?
