AWKWARD & AWESOME thursday

AWKWARD:

-Lil’ A constantly getting into the cabinet in the bathroom that houses all of my feminine products. She spreads them everywhere and often interrupts my shower by flinging the shower curtain back to show me the pads in her hands. Yes honey, very exciting...

-Going back and forth about growing my hair out or chopping it for a year. I have finally decided. My hair is a couple inches past my shoulders right now and I am just not a long hair girl. I loved my pixie and it’s time for it to reappear.

-Looking frantically around the house for my iPhone only to look down and find that it was in my hand the entire time I was looking. Time for more sleep.

-Being overcharged by $80 at a floral supply store on a day when I was in a hurry to leave. She handed me my receipt and I happened to look at the total and said, “Ummm- was it really $96.78?” It took over 10 minutes to rectify and I was given a red balloon and a “Happy Mother’s Day!” to make up for the inconvenience.

-The fact that I had like 5 obvious awesome things in my head minutes before writing this post and now they have all disappeared.

-Our bed breaking last week. Our mattress is now on the floor.

AWESOME:

-Lil’ A learning to brush her “hair” even though she has none.

-The sister and niece are coming to visit for 10 days. The girls are at the perfect age to play together so I plan to be entertained.

-Peonies and vegan donuts from a date to Whole Foods.

-Hubby designed and painted the custom cabinet pictured for our flatscreen. He’s awesome like that.

-Thrift shopping. I have gotten some fun finds lately. Some vintage children’s clothing here, some milk glass there.

-Free beef from my parents who raise and butcher a cow every year. I think we’ve only bought beef once in our 5 years of being married.

-Reserving the room for our August 5-year anniversary trip. 4 nights away with no baby! Amazing and scary at the same time.

-Lil’ A getting her own tiny Toms from Nana for her birthday. They are shimmery silver and I can’t wait till she fits in them!

AWKWARD & awesome thursday: it's almost friday edition

AWKWARD:
-Right now I am wearing yellow sweatpants and a college sweatshirt with fresh out of a bun crazy kinked hair while eating Chinese food with chopsticks and typing. It is H-O-T. Ha!
-Being so exhausted that I had an emotional breakdown today right before date night. Time to start getting more sleep.
-Crying during Flipped, a PG movie about the romance between two jr. highers. Did I mention I'm tired? But seriously- it was a really sweet movie.
-Getting sprayed in the face 3 times in the last week by my water bottle after leaving it in the car and forgetting that the warm weather causes the pressure to build up. Luckily I wasn't going anywhere where I had to impress people with dry clothes.
-Realizing that I forgot my debit card at home while I was halfway into the insanely long line to get gas at Costco. Hubby bailed me out by bringing me his card since he happened to be a couple minutes away. Phwew!
-Getting emotional every time I think about my little girl turning one at the end of the month. She is growing up so fast!
-Having an elderly lady come up to me while I was in line at Target and singing "Li li li li liiii" to Lil' A while tapping her long purple fingernails on the shopping cart, then putting her head on my shoulder numerous times and telling A that I was "mama", then grabbing my hand and giving it to Adelaide.... she spent 5 minutes trying to get A to smile and she didn't once. People get crazy around babies!


AWESOME:
-Hanging out with my best friend who is visiting from SoCal on Tuesday and Wednesday of this week. We usually only see each other once a year but we've seen each other twice already this year and there are 2 more visits coming up through summer. Yay! Now if only I could get her family to move here to NorCal...
-My sister is finding out the sex of her 2nd baby on Monday. I am SO EXCITED to find out and shower the little peanut with gifts.
-I finally have weekly walking dates with some girls from church which means fellowship and exercise. Win win!
-Tina Fey's new book, Bossypants. Hubby and I listened to an excerpt last night. She is hi-larious. I can't wait to read the rest.
-Having chicken and waffles for dinner on Sunday. It was so delicious. I've been having crazy cravings for Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles lately and was ecstatic when I found some pancake mix in the cupboard and realized I could make my own Roscoe's dish at home! It was mmm mmmmm good. I know it sounds weird, but don't knock it till you've tried it.
-Having a sweet little snuggle session with Lil' A before her bedtime this evening. She rarely sits still, but she just cuddled under a blanket with me and played with my thumb while I savored every second. It was wonderful. *sigh*

Oh my goodness, you know what was awkward? Writing this post! The brain cells are not cooperating today. I must sleep. Now. G'nite friends! I hope you are having an awesome week with an abundance of cooperative brain cells!

AWKWARD:

-Meeting a relative's girlfriend who was the cause of his divorce.
-Aunt Flo visiting for the first time in 20 months. I did not miss her.

AWESOME:
-Baby girl slept through the night three times this past week and has been taking hour naps more often rather than the 30 minutes naps I have been enduring for most of her life.
-Homemade pad thai with friends-- friends who brought me tulips.
-Hubby's new iPad 2.
-Scoring Baby GAP deals from a $50 for $25 coupon.
-My sister is coming visit in a few weeks and then my best friend will be here the next week! Looking forward to two weeks of awesome!
-Baby girl waving at me as she nurses as I finish this post. Okay, awesome for me... awkward for you.

I love having more awesome than awkward in my week! How is your week going? One more day till it's the weekend! Hang on!
