• can we all just stop for a moment & laugh at the goofball pictured above? this kid kills me. this was a quick snapshot in between the ongoing game of stack-up-all-the-pillows-and-slide-headfirst-off-the-couch-onto-said-pillows. it's one of his favorite games lately. and this is who i get to hang out with all day... how'd i get so lucky?
• have i ever mentioned i have an obsession with crime show dramas? i know i'm not alone on this. but if it's after 10:00 pm & the rest of my family is sleeping, nothing other than CSI or Law & Order will do. what is it about those shows?
• pretty sure i've mentioned that sam is tidier than me around the house. i pick up more, but the truth of the matter is i make more of the messes. know what else he does more of? refilling the toilet paper dispenser roll thingy. i hate messing with those dumb things. oh & he dusts more. and vacuums. ok, so i pick up more, he cleans more. we're compatible.
• i seriously have a love affair with my new car. if it was up to me, everyone in the world would drive a subaru outback. even if that meant we all had to wear birkenstocks, tevas, hiking boots & cargo shorts, i would do it.
• i have serious mom guilt about not taking parker's 23 & 24 month pictures. i did awesome from 1-22 months & then had a big fat fail right there at the end. i've spent lots of time thinking about how i'm gonna make it up but everyday i put it off & don't do anything is another day parker gets older & looks less like a 23 or 24 month old. so... whattyagonna do?
• there have been about ten random thoughts pop in my head that are pregnancy related... i'm opting to not talk about them right now & save them for the weekly update post, but who are we kidding? pregnancy & baby related thoughts consume me.
• one pregnancy related note: i took a solo-grocery shopping trip to costco tonight wearing yoga pants & a big oversized hoodie. the check-out dude told me there was no way i could be due in two months because i was "barely showing." so basically, what i took away from that was big huge heavy hoodies & yoga pants are flattering. if you see me a week before my due date in august wearing a ginormous hoodie & sweats, you know why. it looks good.
• i never put together a real "30 by 30" list. and now there are only three months til my 30th birthday. i'm failing all over the place. who was i kidding? i'm doing good to get out of bed & have my teeth brushed by noon... did i really think i could fit in 30 goals before i get out of my 20's? silly me.
• and? only three months til i turn 30. whoa.
• annnnnd? i'll have a two year old PLUS a one month old on my 30th birthday. who am i?
and with that i need to go to sleep. because obviously i need to get my rest while i can. between the baby on the way & aging into a new decade, i have my work cut out for me.
oh man, NCIS and CSI are my two top favorites!
ReplyDeleteHoodies are amazing btw, and you look gorgeous no matter what you are wearing!
OMG, my 30th is in just over a month. how did I get so old? I keep seeing all these 30 by 30 lists and I also failed to ever create one. Part of me wants to shove 30 stupid things into the next month. But then I think my life is pretty fabulous even without coming up with 30 ridiculous things to try to fit into my already crazy life!
ReplyDeleteParker just continues to morph into this cuter & cuter boy! You are very lucky to be sure... Don't beat yourself up on the pictures - boy #2 will be lucky to see half the photos of himself (alone) as boy #1 - then you really will heap on the self-guilt. You already do an amazing job of recording Parker's life thus far!
ReplyDeleteI love your random, bullet-point posts. I think they're my favorite!
ReplyDelete30's are the new 20's and you'll have more energy before you know it! Also, TNT Sundays = Law and Order ALL DAY!
ReplyDeleteDon't beat yourself up over 23 and 24 months! I'm sure you have photos, even if they're not on the couch with the monkey. Just slap some text on them and call it done :)
ReplyDeleteSubarus are the best. We still have a 1990 Subaru and its still running strong. Although I've gotta say it doesn't look as snazzy as the new ones! Congrats!
ReplyDeleteI got a couple years before I hit 30, remind me to make a list! :) Can't wait for your bumpdates!! :) Who created bump dates anyway? they are the best!
ReplyDeleteI can totally see why you love your car. It's awesome, I enjoyed pumping in your backseat :)
ReplyDeleteOh and I like crime drama's too. Have you seen The Killing??? You would love it.
Wow -- you are older than I thought you were! I am turning 30 in 2 weeks (holy crap) and I started my 30 before 30 list with 4 months to spare (typical).
ReplyDeleteI managed to do monthly letters for Skyler all the way up until he was four. Mason? I barely made it to two years and called it good. Cue mommy guilt. Pretty sure they won't mind, right?
ReplyDeleteI think that you could call that a full accomplishment - 2 kids by 30 is on my to do list ;)
ReplyDeletecriminal minds.
ReplyDeletei wear birks... and cargos. at the same time ;)
btw 30....its freaking AWESOME {just sayin'}
I am with ya on the crime shows - i am obsessed with law and order lol and I'll throw in Greys anatomy even though it's not crime :)
ReplyDeleteI love these posts!! Don't beat yourself about keeping up with everything, you are obviously spending your time where it counts:)
ReplyDelete. the 30s are fab...the new black! been here for 4 years already...I speak from experience ;)
ReplyDelete. Parker looks like a teenager. seriously.
. don't beat yourself up about not getting stuff done. you're working pretty darn hard incubating a human right now :)
I love these kinds of posts. It's nice to hear about all that's bouncing around inside someone's head, well...to me it is! :) My guy and I have the same tidiness kind of balance going on and it seems to work well. Don't mess with a good thing, right?
ReplyDeleteI did pretty good keeping up with Adrienne's update posts for some time and completely let them slip my mind after some time too, so don't feel bad.
ReplyDeleteam with ya on the crime shows - i am obsessed with law and order lol and I'll throw in Greys anatomy even though it's not crime :) can totally see why you love your car. It's awesome, I enjoyed pumping in your backseat :)
