Oh My Gosh

We had to change our plan for insurance . . . again . . . which now makes it a bazillion times. So I had to go to this office and do some paperwork and stuff. I had an appointment for 9:30am, but after an ill-timed feeding and a huge spit-up, we made it there at 9:50am.

The woman on the phone told me all the things I needed to bring with me - except Jacob's vaccination records. I know that sounds like I'm just making excuses: "Um, I didn't know I was suppose to bring that" (in a dumb, dumb voice), but seriously, she didn't tell me. I would have brought them. 

But just then I remembered that I did have a little vaccination booklet in my diaper bag from my last appointment. I looked and looked and couldn't find it. Ugh. It disappeared. No luck. We will have to go back with the information later and we only half filled out our forms. Whatever. Everything takes 10,000 years and is super complicated.

Then we go home, Jacob takes a nap for 30 minutes and wakes up hating life. Nothing makes him happy. He screams for quite awhile and then, eventually, we are able to get back to normal. He decides he actually loves life and we start playing and he is laughing and laughing and having the best time. We are sitting on the floor, he's on my lap, when he wiggles and lurches forward and bangs his head on the floor. It was a loud thud. He only fell about 6 inches, but still, it had to hurt and of course - he's totally mad again. Real mad. 

He finally goes down for another nap. I look in my purse for something and guess what I find. Yep - the immunization records. Dang it. (I mean, Damn it.)

Oh my Gosh! Sing it, Usher!

Update

My Christmas tree is STILL up. Other decorations have come down, but we haven't quite tackled that tree yet. *Huff*

Who Are We?

I don't know myself anymore. Last Sunday was the Golden Globes. Did we crank up the DVR? Did we watch it and cheer for all the new, latest, artsy, awesome movies that we made sure we watched over the past year? Did we watch any artsy, awesome movies this past year? No. We didn't. Who are we? Aren't we the movie-lovers? The "wanna be movie buffs"? Yes we are . . . but we added a baby . . . which equals no Golden Globes. 

Are we nothing more than two overwhelmed, over-tired parents? Are we so focused on our little bundle of joy that we forget the importance of pop culture and award shows? 

Yes. Yes we are. 

Still love movies . . . but also have a kid. 

Merry Christmas?

Christmas is in December, right? That's why on December 1st (or right after Thanksgiving, whatever) we haul out the decorations so they can be up all month, and then taken down after New Years . . . right?

I ask because I see a LOT of Christmas trees still up in full force. Now, before you scold me for being so judge-y know that I, myself, still have a Christmas tree up . . . and all my other Christmas decorations for that matter (hey! I've been busy, lay off me). But, I am not lighting up my tree in the front window every night in the middle of January as if it is December the 23rd.

I mean, is that a thing? Do people leave their trees and lights up until the end of January - on purpose? (I mean, I do, but not on purpose.) I bet I have seen about 7 windows with lit up Christmas trees inside . . . in the past week!

Anyway, what is up with Christmas until Valentines? We can't bare to have empty windows in the winter?

This is a picture of our Christmas tree during the 2010 Christmas season, but it could have been taken yesterday since it still looks exactly the same. This is the week! Sorry my fellow Christmas-forever-folks, I'm out.

It's Time

So, we are going "private" for our blog. There are lots of reasons, but mostly because we have this new cute little baby in our life.

I will send out an email to invite people to the blog, but if you want to make sure you aren't missed or maybe I don't know you read this, just leave a comment with your email or email me.

Thanks!
