I.Am.So.Tired. 

And I am sure I am not the only one.  I think 4th of July should only fall on a Saturday every year.  LOL!

And I didn't even do a whole lot last night other than stay up later than usual. (True sign of getting old).  After spending the afternoon with family at a BBQ, we went home for a while before we were going to head out to watch fireworks not far from our house.  But Miss K had other plans.  She was *dog* tired after a day of playing outside and in the pool.  She crashed and she crashed hard.  There was no waking her.  Not even the neighborhood fireworks stirred her.  Now the cat on the other hand.  She was freaking out racing through the house every time she heard a bang.  I thought she was going to crawl up my leg at one point.

Needless to say, I didn't go watch fireworks.  Daddy and Hayden went down to the lake by our house that has a big fireworks show every year and watched them.  Apparently, they found a good spot without all the congestion.  When we drove down there earlier in the day to scope out a spot, there was literally, a couple thousand people, I am certain.  They had a blast (no pun intended) and Hayden was *uber* excited when he got home to tell me about the the "Bangs that broke in the sky".

Kyleigh ended up coming over and we watched Just Go With It.  The one with Jennifer Aniston and Adam Sandler.  It was alright.  I like Jennifer Aniston but Adam Sandler just doesn't do it for me these days (not that he ever did).  Most of  his roles are the same.  And now that he is a bit *older* his antics are getting worn.


What did you do to celebrate the 4th of July?


Have a great week! 




I Need A Makeover!

Seriously!

Stat!

Not me personally, although maybe so and I just don't want to admit it, but for now I will take a BLOG makeover.

I am in search of a blog designer that will help me take my blog to the next level.  I am pretty tech savvy so I *think* I could probably do it on my own.  I just don't have the time to really dive in and dink around with the templates, fonts, etc.

I want something Fun yet Professional.  Catchy yet Professional.  Colorful yet Professional.  Easy to load pages.  Nice lines with everything in its place.  Once loaded I want to make sure that if I want to make changes, I can do so, myself.

I want to use my existing theme of course and run with it.  I think I need a new button too.  Nothing too cartoonish.  I have lots of ideas but need someone to help me bring them to fruition.


Can anyone give me a recommendation?  Of course I am willing to pay a reasonable amount of $$.

Six Word Saturday

What's Six Word Saturday you ask?

It is a fun linky with Cate over a Showmyface where you describe what is going on in your life in six words. 

It can be serious, fun, you can include an explanation, images, etc...It's up to you.

So here it goes:

The binky has left the building!

It has been a week since Miss K has had no binky or bottle.  The first couple nights were a *little* rough getting her to sleep since that was when she would take her binky most of the time.  Honestly, I think I was more nervous than her.  I thought for sure that we would have some major meltdowns and sleepless nights.  She doesn't look for it (as far as I can tell), she doesn't seem to be missing it, nothing. 

All is well in the universe our house.

Hope you all have a pleasant Saturday & Happy 4th of July!

Confessions of a Non Superwoman #8

Well, well, well we meet again.

Time for another round of confessions.  Why I am not superwoman!


1.  There is a pungent smell in my mini van and I have no clue what it is.  It honestly smells like sour milk and I *think* I was missing a yogurt or two when I was putting groceries away this past week.  I am afraid to look under the seats and in the cargo area under the stroller.  Who knows what else is lurking around under there.

2.  I was going to make banana bread this week with the brown bananas I had been saving.   It was a nice thought.  And now the bananas are not only brown and mushy but they are fully rotten.  Probably time to throw them away.

3.  Hayden's leftover birthday cake (from June 18th) was just thrown out.  It was hard as a rock!

4.  I bought several new laundry baskets a week or so ago with the intent to get my laundry room in better order, clothes sorted and then clean clothes folded, put into basket so they can be put away in the appropriate drawers.  Ha!  That worked well.  The laundry baskets have become our drawers.  Folding is so overrated!  If only my laundry baskets looked like this....Empty.  One can dream.

5.  The smoke alarm works.  We'll just leave it at that.


In closing, T.G.I.F. are you with me?

Hope everyone has a fun and SAFE 4th of July weekend!
