Update

I am officially up 4lbs and up one belt notch.  Or down one belt notch?  I don't know, whichever one means I had to loosen that bad boy.  Only a quick 22 more weeks to go.

Happy Belated New Year!!

We weren't fancy for New Year's Eve, but we had fun!

And in the least shocking news of 2014 thus far:  Alex likes champagne.  Surprised?  Me neither.

Making himself known.

Currently this second beast child is the size of a turnip.  And that little turnip has been causing some havoc.  I was very rarely sick last time around.  This time?  Not so lucky.  And by not so lucky, I mean that I feel sick to my stomach pretty much every time I eat.  Which is a problem.  I really like to eat.  Like a lot.  And it isn't to the point of vomiting or anything like that, just a good half hour of slight nausea.  Kinda like a mild hangover, only without the fun the night before...and it happens each and every time I put food in my mouth.

You think that stops me?  Nope.  So here I sit; kinda wanting to puke.  But that cinnamon bread and those oranges were delicious.

Selfie-Nation just got a little bit cuter...

Over it.

I'm going to add one more to the long list of people that won't stop talking about the weather.  It is freaking cold.  And since it's so cold, school is closed.  But you know what isn't closed when it gets cold?  That's right!  A sales company that sells heating equipment!

Working from home during the heart of heating season whilst entertaining the beast is a challenge.  Good thing I have Mario Kart and How It's Made on my side.  Wish me luck for tomorrow.

Fixed it.

Alex didn't want to go to day care today.  Given my lack of motivation to get my butt to work, I couldn't really blame him.  Alas, we don't always get what we want.

Yesterday I found an awesome Captain America tshirt for him and I used that as incentive to get him to get dressed.  Yay for new Captain America tshirt day!  But then we got to day care and he decided he didn't want anyone to see his new shirt.  Yeah, ok, that totally makes sense...sure.  He wanted to wear his "extra" shirt that is kept in his cubby in case he gets his shirt super dirty or, I don't know, he cuts some holes in it.  But since I'm a slack ass mom, he currently has no extra shirt in his cubby, so that plan wasn't gonna work.  So, I told him he could wear his shirt inside out if he didn't want people to see it that badly.  Proposal accepted!  We turned his shirt inside out and he trotted off to listen to their pre-breakfast story time.

He's an odd one that one.

Prezzies!

I am completely spoiled rotten.  This was once again proven to me this Christmas and birthday.  Our new house is a tri-level which I really like, but it means a lot of stairs.  And these stairs are carpeted which means a lot of vacuuming stairs.  We got a new vacuum to accommodate the fact that we now have carpet in most of the house, but I really wasn't looking forward to using the attachments/tools for the stairs.  And since I am so spoiled, my mom gave me a new Shark hand held vacuum!  I am super excited, but I'll give you one guess as to who in our house might be more excited about all the new vacuuming possibilities.

After getting the steps done, he kept running up and down the hall pretending the vacuum was so strong it was pulling him, all while shouting, "This beauty's really really strong!"

Simple pleasures.
