It was so fucking buggy on our hike today, most likely because of the rain we got last night. I now have about 7 new mosquito bites, and I DID use bug spray.
Right now I'm sort of in and out of a nap state, resting up for a food truck fest tonight.
Less than two hours until my date with my husband! Work and life has been crazy stressful. I'm looking forward to pretending to be a cool kid and have apps and drinks at 8:30 and see Snowden at the 21+ theater and have more food and wine at 9:30.
H is down at the cabin trying to find some kitchen boxes up to the resort for us to unpack. The old owners are pretty much out of the house so we can start moving in, but we need to put carpet in the master bedroom and dd's room so we have to wait to move things into those two rooms.
Business is good and we are making decent money. I feel really, really good about this.
I'm starting to wonder if it's possible to become addicted to spicy food. Like, I think about a spicy food and my mouth starts watering. I look at a hot pepper sitting on my counter and just have to take a bite out of it like it's an apple. Give me all the spicy foods.

If it's a thing I've got it, too, and your post has made me want something spicy now. It's a never ending cycle. Haha
DH just took DS to his mom's to watch the ND game. My house is a wreck and I really need to clean the kitchen.
I took the best nap with DS today. I pulled him up on the bed to snuggle with me and we both fell asleep. I took a picture and was comparing it to one I took last year. 3 months vs. 17 months. They get big so fast!
H ran errands today. H ordered dinner. H got the boys out of my hair so I could concentrate on the paper I needed to write and the lesson I needed to develop. This time last week I felt like I was drowning trying to juggle the kids, work, and grad school; but now that he's home (after a six month deployment) it's like everything is manageable again.

Got the kids to bed and now watching football. Can't believe the longhorn game is not coming on until 10:30. Tonight is going to be a late one. Hope the kids sleep in tomorrow!!

Well, that makes me all teary eyed. I'm so happy for all of you that he's home.

I realized today that I spent far more on the gift from Iceland I'm giving my son's gf than the gift I'm giving my son. I know it's the thought that counts, blah blah blah. But man I love this girl. I hope he doesn't screw it up. But also, this is his first girlfriend, so I hope he doesn't get his heart broken. But also, I hope she likes her hat!

I slept in super late today. I was up late waiting on my BFF to get home but her flight was delayed and she didn't land till 2. She ended up just crashing at her parents but she's here now! And asleep. I've been working on DD's step sister's homecoming mum and garter all day (it's a Texas thing and ridiculous). Still have the glue gun going but took a break to enjoy a glass of wine. I'm trying to finish those tonight or tomorrow so I can start on DD's mum and garter.

I've been taking dd to work for 7 weeks now and omg it's so hard. In 2 weeks she's starting daycare 3 days/week. People keep asking me if I'm going to be ok with these big, sad eyes. Um, YEAH. Doing my job without watching a baby seems like luxury, now.
I worked today and I'm exhausted. H is looking into trips for our anniversary (in 2 weeks) and I'm too tired to care. I'm also annoyed that said trip is 2 weeks away and we have no solid plans, because it is nearly impossible to get time off at my job and I was there at 4:30 in the morning for 9 days in a row to submit forms for this shit.
I'm exhausted. We were out late at a wedding last night. Today we got up early and spent the day at a theme park with the kids. My feet are dead and I'm supposed to run 9 miles in the morning. Ha.
