Where I'd Rather Be...


So today has been one of those days. Yes, THOSE days. LN is teething again, slept maybe twenty minutes this afternoon and I am supposed to be starting a Contract job for BC's company. Much less get together dinner for a good friend that is coming over. Humph on the day.

So instead I'm going to tell you about where I'd rather be right now. Well, two places I'd rather be and lucky for me I'll be there sooner rather than later!

Rather be here #1:

Woodland Beach Resort with nine of my loveliest friends. A cabin, nine ladies, wine, good food, laughter, sleep and QUIET. We have been planning this trip to beautiful northern Minnesota for weeks now and next Friday we leave! The best part, our husbands all have the kids for the weekend. Two whole nights and mornings with peaceful sleep!

Rather be here #2:

BC surprised me with a trip out to see a dear pregnant friend in Portland, OR. We'll be shopping, eating and just gab, gab, gabbing away. I leave in the beginning of October for three whole days. So can't wait to see her! BC just sent me an email with the flight confirmation and a big smile on his face. He owed me for the Mancation he took to Vegas back in June. ;) And he's just a really sweet guy.

So there we have it. Two really great things to look forward to, and you know what? Maybe today isn't so bad after all. That is until LN wakes up from her nap.

If you could be anywhere in the world, where would you be today?

Now You See Me, Later You Won't

Although I've been away from this space for quite some time I was surprised to see that people were still reading it.  Go me!  So, although I am not going to be blogging in this space for much longer, I'm going to leave it up for the time being.  If nothing else as a way for people to find me in my next space. Next space you say?  Yes, I'm moving.  When I started this blog things were very different from what they are now.  I thought we were moving abroad much sooner, I was not going to school and there were no definite plans for a second baby.  That being said, the last few months I felt like I was not able to really be comfortable in this space.  So I'm opting to move someplace else, under a different blog name and start again.  I really hope that you will move over with me; I've so enjoyed having you along for the ride! So, sometime soon I will post about my new digs.  As soon as I find the time to put something up over...

Lady in the Sky, With Broccoli

We've had a whirlwind, chaotic, hectic, exciting week.  It was a week of fixes, car naps, quick meals and heat.  Oh, the heat!  I finally feel like today we had the chance to tone things down and take a breath.  The Little Lady and I were left to our devices for the evening while the Mr. took a much deserved night off.  We had a light dinner and then went outside for our favorite pre-bed activity, Bubble Chasing.  (Well, she chases, I blow).  The following conversation ensued. Laying in the grass: MP: Hey LL, look at all those clouds! LL:  Yeah mom, clouds. MP:  What do you see up there?  I see bunny ears! LL:  They just puffy mama. MP: (Humph, this might not work...) LL:  Mama, I see Lady! MP: (Getting excited)  That's great, what's she doing? LL:  Lady in Sky, with Broccoli.  I like Broccoli! MP: Well, yes, it does look like broccoli.  What else do you see? LL:  Poop in a glass.  Ha...

A Confession

First let me come clean.  I'm pregnant. Now, let the next thirty-one weeks commence where I talk of nothing else except my growing belly, appetite and need for Cheetos.  Not really, but I will say this; I'm tired.  So tired that normal everyday tasks that should only take me a few minutes suddenly sit around, unfinished, for days at a time.  Examples?  The dishwasher, the dirty dishes, groceries (the non-perishable ones, duh), folding the laundry, making the bed.  I mean, there are much better things to do, like, stuff handfuls of popcorn in my mouth while watching all the episodes of Angel, in order.  Don't judge me, I am returning to school in a few weeks; maybe this is just me trying desperately to channel myself as a Freshman in college?  Who the heck knows.  What I do know that my "golden time," or nap time as it is commonly called, was once used to clean, cook, tidy up, rest and blog.  Well, you know how much blogging I've done o...
