The pictures are taken from my Blackberry. The stories are from my life. Here's my little way of remembering...
Tomorrow I Am Going To Lose My Mind
I was supposed to go into the city today for a mom conference (not so clear on details) and opted out. Natalie has been sick since Friday night and Liam has mommy and me this morning. If I went in, he wouldn't have been able to go to "school" and he really LOVES "school". So I canceled.
However.... TOMORROW I am going to die.
It starts at 830 in the morning and then ends at 830 at night with a HUGE gap of a whole lot of NOTHING to do in the afternoon. I think I am going to catch a movie by myself because I have nothing to do....
830 I have a Stride Rite preview for their Spring Collection
9-11 I have a Marc Jacobs handbag breakfast and preview of Spring Collection
12 I am meeting my friend Sylvia for lunch - Blue Smoke (YUM!!)
THEN - my next event is at 630 OMG. I can't go home and come back because it takes me like an hour to get home. If I do that, then I will be home for an hour or so and then have to get back on the train to return.
So I think for that huge gap....I don't know. I DON'T KNOW. LOL! I am seriously considering going to the movies.... That will at least kill a few hours. Then I can work at a Starbucks for a few hours I guess. Ugh. I am thinking of calling up a blogger friend and asking them if I could crash at their apt for a while. Oy vey!
What would you do? Would you go home? Or just wait it out in the city? Bill said I should go to a museum or something for a while.
Liam Is Famous!
This is so funny! My husband took the kids to an Oral B event a few weeks ago and they used one of the shots of Liam in their press release. My cousin spotted it while working. That is hilarious!!
It's tiny... but so is he. ;)
We Ended Up Going With Belle For Halloween
My sewing skills only helped me out for a few hours. We got through the festivities on Friday at Natalie's school... but when she came home it was ripped in a few new places. So - Sleeping Beauty had to be laid to rest.
I gave her a choice - Alice in Wonderland with all the paint all over it or Belle (from 2 years ago). She went with Belle. Luckily, Disney dresses come in a size 4 as the smallest size when you buy it at the park. So it fit perfectly.
She had a bit of a fever on Saturday (and still does today) so we did two blocks and went home by ourselves. We told our friends not to come with us and stayed clear of all children. If there was a group ahead of us, we waited and Natalie touched nothing. Just opened up her bag and let the candy fall in. She still enjoyed herself though - which is all you can ask for when a child is sick.
We missed TWO birthday parties this weekend because of their illnesses. UGH! But I never tell the kids about anything going on until a few hours before we actually have to be there. Otherwise, they won't stop asking about WHEN WE ARE GOING.
So again, they don't know the difference. Nice and relaxing weekend.
Natalie's Halloween Take Home Activity
Natalie brought home his really long Halloween sequence about carving a pumpkin. The teacher wrote a note on the bottom of it saying she had issues with the project. I'm all about learning what my daughter needs help with - but isn't it odd how she put the note on the FRONT of the project? I can't keep this even if I wanted to. I wish she wrote it on the back at least.
So My Mommy Brain Took Over
Let's see if you find this as humorous as I do.
I go to my doctor appt and sign in. Fill out the forms and hand them in. Turns out my appointment wasn't for today... it was for TOMORROW.
They couldn't squeeze me in today, and I can't go tomorrow because I am doing something with Natalie's school.
The following week the doctor is on vacation which means I had to push back my appointment 2 weeks!!!!!!!!!
LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sigh - with the free time I had on my hands I ended up going to get a haircut. I told the lady to give me the LOB and she really didn't get what I was saying despite my efforts to explain what I meant. I ended up just getting about 3 inches cut off my hair... not a very sexy haircut. It's very plain but very healthy. So I will deal.
And like so many of you said - it will grow back soon enough.
Right after the cut, we headed over to my in laws for dinner. We put the kids to sleep and I sewed (to the best of my ability) Natalie's princess costume. I hope it STAYS TOGETHER for the next two days. Fingers crossed.
