Sometimes you just have way too much floating around upstairs to pick one subject to focus on. Welcome to my head. It's a bit crowded so forgive me if you have to stand and wait for a seat. I can't think of a better excuse for a bulleted post, can you? Here, let's go on a fascinating journey together to the inner most jumbled and highly caffeinated working of my brain:
- BabyJuJu is sleeping worse than before she had her big "She Slept All Night!" breakthrough. Needless to say, for those who asked, no she did not have a repeat performance.
- I would like to note that I did indeed call it when I said she would not sleep through the night again any time soon. I might be miserably tired, but I can gloat when I am right.
- I am not often right.
- My husband is always right. Which is annoying and also still sexy.
- Mr. JuJu went away for the weekend to work (or watch?) the Navy game on Saturday.
- The children and I stayed home...sick.
- LittleJuJu had awful diarrhea and coughing and some near toilet hugging for three days.
- I had a fever, chills and it hurt to swallow.
- Go ahead and feel bad for me. I deserve sympathy sometimes.
- Ok, that's enough for now, save some for later!
- LittleJuJu coughed his head off all through breakfast this morning but I still sent him to school because it was his first ever big boy field trip and it would have broken my heart to keep him home.
- Mostly though it would have just driven me insane to be stuck in the house with him all day long for another 24 hours. He can make some obnoxious noises, that one.
- I love this weather. Right now the sun is shining and it's only 51 degrees. It is refreshing.
- Mr. JuJu and I had a talk about our future. Nothing extreme but we did come to some agreements on what we DON'T want to be doing a year from now. I'd like to share some of those thoughts here, but I can't. I don't know who reads this site anymore.
- Who reads this site, anyway?
- I need a girl's night out.
- I need some girls to go out with.
- BabyJuJu has learned that it is pretty funny when she holds her binky over the side of the swing and drops it.
- It is even funnier that Mommy picks it up 132,826,531 times.
- I'm dreading winter and hoping fall will stick around forever.
- Tomorrow is picture day at school for LittleJuJu and I'm hoping he will have some color back in his face and ditch the circles under his eyes (from the weekend sick party).
- Is it wrong that I want to start Christmas decorating?
I might add to the list of random thoughts later in the day.
Ha! Hahahahaha! Like I would have the time if I even wanted to! I crack myself up, I do.
Answers to some of your points in no particular order (and one commentary because I love to babble):
I am loving the fall weather but also aware that because I live in Indiana that it may change at any minute.
For the mere moments I am asked to help out, school is the best babysitter ever!
I could send my 5 and 9 year old girls, I'm sure they would help you with a girls night out!
I am reading it!

Too bad we live in separate countries...I'm dying for a girls nite out too! Sigh...guess I'll settle for that bag of Coffee Crisp Hallowe'en bars that "accidently" fell into the grocery cart on Sunday...

I just had a board game night with some friends. It really perked me up and I didn't have to get a babysitter.
I hope the sleeping gets better soon and that you and little juju are feeling better.

I want a girls night out, too! And one where my husband doesn't call after an hour and go "Hey, what are you doing?"
I read, I read!

Well, I just happened to read it since you popped by my own site.
I can't help you with the girls night out. I am very un-girl. Much more mannish. Actually, completely mannish.
(Very cool that you know Todd Marchant!)

Mommy-Jujube needs a break! And a bottle of wine.

I read, I read! You should definitely meet Beth in W.Va and you can commiserate (or however the hell you spell that).

I read your blog too! Hope things start looking up for you! You deserve it! :)
