Do you ever go through periods when you just look like total shit? I just saw a picture of myself from a wedding that we went to last weekend, and I just cannot get over how exhausted and old I look. I wondered why I never get carded anymore and then BAM! there's all the explanation that I needed staring right back at me. I know that it has been over 9 months since I have had a really good night sleep. I never slept well during the last two months of pregnancy, and Andrew is 7 months old...so yes...It's been a long time. Even before that, Maddie didn't sleep through the night for almost over a year. I have quite a deficit going. It's certainly taken a toll on my appearance. If it was just appearances that I was worried about, I could live with that, but I am also grouchy, forgetful, disorganized, completely lacking in energy, and basically just...exhausted. Not looking good is just icing on the cake. YUM.
I didn't intend to get on here and complain about my face, honest. I came to share some plans with you. We are leaving tomorrow bright and early to head to our Aunt and Uncle's beach cottage where we will hang out until Sunday night or Monday morning. Then we will come home and guess who will be waiting for me?? LITTLE JUJU! I swear it feels like he has been gone for a month. I can't wait to hug him.
On the 4th of July, we will be going to hang out with the Stanley Cup. A relative plays for the Ducks, so he gets the cup for a period of time and we are going to go check it out. LittleJuJu is much more excited about this than I am, but I'll take some pictures, should be fun.
I hope you all have a safe and wonderful holiday (are you celebrating this weekend like we are?) and for all of the Canucks...Happy Dominion Day or whatever else it is that you celebrate! Excuse my ignorance when it comes to foreign holidays, I have a hard enough time trying to remember the American ones.
We call it Canada Day. I love this weekend. I am so proud to be Canadian. Enjoy your holiday too. You always seem to put in writing exactly what I'm thinking. I feel the same way you do. I keep waiting for the day when I get up, and I don't feel like I never slept at all, or wish I could bounce out of bed without it taking my feet a good half an hour not to hurt. I swear I need to see a podiatrist(not sure if that's how you spell it) Anyway, have a great holiday in spite of. Judging by previous photos, I don't think it's possible for you to look bad!

*raises hand* I totally go through periods like that; where I feel like absolute shit because of how I look. Dark circles (perhaps I have anemia?) hair that hangs and just doesn't do what I want it to, where I feel overweight and gross? Yes, I've been there. Don't you worry, pretty lady, it will pass. You just need a good night's sleep.
So, that's what I'm hoping for you this holiday weekend - a nice, peaceful, restful and "SLEEPFUL" few days... you deserve it!
I hope your reuniting with LittleJuju is fabulous, and enjoy that time with Mr. Stanley's Cup! :)
