H and Andy have a little morning ritual where they wake up, snuggle on the couch for a half hour, drink their morning beverages (coffee for h, milk for a) and watch one of Andy's shows. H just texted me, heartbroken, that Andy insisted on sitting by himself this morning.
He has also started calling us mommy and dad. We aren't ready for him to grow up!!
I got my Mod Cloth order in yesterday and everything fit! I'm excited to wear a new blouse and cardigan today; I'm actually glad it's rainy and cool so I won't die of heat in the cardigan.
I'm loving that the weather has warmed up here but OMG allergies are killing me.
Also, I picked up my bridesmaid dress for a wedding I am in at the end of the month. I am looking a little too fluffy in it so now I am in panic diet mode.
Allergies and dieting are combining to make me really grumpy.

"I was thinking about getting off on demand, but it sounds like I should be glad that I didn't"
He has also started calling us mommy and dad. We aren't ready for him to grow up!!
What did he call you prior to this point?
Mama and dada.
Occasionally now he calls H by his first name, lol. We will walk in the house from being out and he will call out Dada? Daddy? and if H doesn't respond, andy belts out a loud IANNNNNNNNN!!!!

I'm holding an Open Gym tonight in advance of cheer tryouts Wednesday and Thursday night of this week. I'm so nervous, I have no idea what the turnout will be. I have a plan, but since I've never done this before, I'm still feeling like this dog...
I was all excited that they were going to release new colors for the Jawbone UP24, but when I looked at them last night, they're still not colors I want. Boo.
My ILs are coming for DS's baptism this weekend, and I'm already annoyed at the idea of houseguests, and I don't know when they're planning to leave. This is kind of flameful, because they're really nice people, and pretty great as far as ILs go, so I really have no good reason to complain.
I am pumped today! I just found out that my request to change my work schedule to 7-2:30 was approved. Totally psyched! This means that during the summer I will be home by 3ish and will get to enjoy more time with the kiddos rather than rushing home and scrambling through dinner, bath, bed. And even during the school year we will be home BEFORE 4. Yippee!
Tonight is DD's first recital stage rehearsal of the season and then I'm taking her to go get pedicures together.
I think Whole30 is actually working! I feel great and a lot of my symptoms ( GI and others) are disappearing. woot!
I had a dream about my nutrtion coach. I ate dinner at home and then he wanted to go out to eat. There, he got be this corn tortilla quesadilla with chicken, cheese, and tomatoes and it was delicious. Then he gave me wine.
I am excited about summer. Lots of fun things coming up!
I can't decide if H and I should go on a cruise by ourselves in November or take a vacation to the mountains with the kids for the holidays. I want to do both but I don't want to use up all of my vacation time befreo next summer (I only get 3 weeks).

I don't want to jinx it, so I'm burying this here-- we just got some encouraging news on the housing front, so I'm making an appointment to get my iud out in July!!!! Come on, baby Arya! <)
DD made a fake ear out of silly putty and put it in her real ear. I told her she needed to put it on her forehead. She said "Ooh yeah! But I need a red shirt and overalls.". I love her and her futurama obsession.
Today marks the 10th anniversary of my favorite radio station ever shutting down it's terrestrial signal. I'm going to listen to the recording of the last day, but I might skip the final hour because I'm at work and will cry all over again.
I just listed an ad to hire a new assistant and I'm SO excited. I am so slammed at work and now with my manager gone, it's getting worse every day. I can't wait to have some help.
I can't wait for our beach trip next month.
I have eaten horribly for like three weeks now and I feel awful. I can't seem to get my ass into gear.
I forgot my breakfast, lunch and snacks Worst day ever!
Our coach and the opposing team's coach were the only ones that didn't cancel baseball last night. It was miserable and included a timeout in the car w/dd that I wanted to last longer bc I was cold and wet. But we did make it back in time to see ds catch a fly ball and make a great throw to first base.
I've been watching what I eat (mostly - have had some bad days) and working out regularly again for two weeks and the scale will not budge. So frustrating. And no, my clothes aren't fitting better either.

Yay!
If you name a baby after GOT before the entire storyline is revealed I will disown you, though. Lol.
We're on week 3 of my two year old waking up all night long and being unable to get herself back to sleep.
Tips? Tricks? Recommendations for a nice inpatient psychiatric unit I can admit myself to?
I remember at this age the fear of darkness, dun dun duuuuunnn, began. We used a night light and also would sometimes leave a very small desk lamp on. That helped.
The in-laws own a business that stretches across two storefronts. Another store in the strip offered to buy-out the lease on one of the fronts and they agreed. On Sunday MIL stopped by the store to pick something up, and notice a crowd of "A-rab" men peering in and she didn't feel "safe". (It's very possible these men could've been any other descent, or even just had tans.) She calls SIL while we were with SIL and starts ranting and raving about how they took down one of the store signs already and that an "A-rab" grocery store is what's moving in. She doesn't want to be next to that and its going to bring in sooo much trouble to the shopping center. They just have to find somewhere else to move.
DH swings by yesterday... and the new store is shopping center name Organics. Did y'all know that Organics = Arabic food? MIL had NO CLUE what organics meat, and DH had to explain it to her. And the fact that meat and dairy can be organic too, not just fruits and veggies.
I miss being in the bigger city nearby. Where there are places like Whole Foods and people aren't so dumb. =0/
