It’s too early in the week for a brain dump, you say? I usually do one of these once a week, but like to save it for the end of the week. Not this week, sisters. I promise it’s not going to be really bad and full of terrible, no-good things.
- So storms swept through the South last night. And I guess they’re still rolling along. After last April, this terrifies me. Even though I knew that Columbia wasn’t in the path of the storm, I woke up a lot last night checking my phone so I could check the weather where my friends live. It’s terrifying.
- I was also awake a lot during the night- or I guess really early morning. Hayes had a late supper last night– around 5:30 or 6:00. I had mentioned that we had moved his “supper” to 4:00-4:30 because he kept waking up in the night with a diaper issue. So moving his supper totally solved that problem. And last night’s late supper had him awake in the middle of the night, so we were awake in the night tending to Hayes. Changing him and settling him back down only took about 15 minutes, but I was wide awake after that.
- In super-awesome Hayes news… He likes food now! Baby food, finger food, yucky food, good food. He loves it all! Yay, Hayes!
- Though we didn’t get bad storms, we still got rain. So the ground is all wet. Don’t you hate it when you have to get out in the rain and your pants drag through puddles? Then the bottoms of your pants are soaking wet? Really, this is one of my least favorite things. A wet pant leg is like a wet sock.
- I think we’ve only seen the sun in our area once in the last two weeks. It’s just so gloomy. And one day it’s humid and warm and the next day it’s freezing and raining. The gorgeous Japanese magnolia tree next door is blooming. It’s January! It’s too early! It’s so confusing in the south. I love it in late February when that tree starts to bloom and it is gorgeous in March. I’m afraid that it’ll bloom and one big storm will cause all the blooms to fall off. These are the things I worry about when I look out my kitchen window.
- You would not believe the amount of money we have saved this month by eliminating Starbucks visits from our lives. I love Starbucks. So, so much. But now I have my Keurig. And I also have Starbucks K-Cups. Starbucks at home? It’s the best!
I cannot even explain to you my hatred for wet socks and wet pant legs. Especially wet socks.
I haven’t been to Starbucks once since I bought my Keurig! Yay for saving money!
I am suuuuper short so I understand about the went pants bottom thing! Yuck!
I am way super short so I understand about the went pants legs. Yuck! Also, our younger boys are only 5 days apart from each other and I just tweeted this morning about his new found hatred of puree baby food!!! He’s all about real food now. Geesh! It took him a crazy long time to get into food too. He just within the last month ish has started eating!
Yeah for Hayes liking food now!!! I still struggle with my older one’s picky eating but that is awesome!! Hope you had a great weekend despite the bad weather!
Wet pant legs are why I bought rain boots. I can tuck my pant legs inside, and have toasty warm feet (and ankles) all day!
I love starbucks k-cups. And we got a super cheap milk frother for Christmas, so I can froth up some half-and-half and pretend I’m actually drinking a latte. They save my life every morning. 🙂
I feel ya on the gloomy weather. I don’t even like showering or getting dressed on days like this. Feels like such a waste. (Especially doing my hair!) I try to wear cropped yoga pants when it rains so that my pants don’t get wet. So gross.
Glad Hayes is eating better, but sorry about the late night diaper troubles. Emmy had been waking up with yucky diapers in the mornings too, but they don’t seem to wake her in the night. I guess that’s good, but I feel bad for her when I get her up in the morning.
I hate storms. I always lie awake in the bed when it’s windy or storming. (And often rush to the window. Don’t really know what the purpose of that is, but I do it anyway.) Rob thinks I am crazy and normally sleeps through them.
Hope your week gets cheerier! (is that a word?) oh, Mondays…
I am now ready to get a Keurig, and in my recent search, I’ve discovered there are several different Keurig choices. Which one do you have, and do you recommend it or another one?
Oh!! I did not know Starbucks made cups for the Keurig!! I am going to have to go get them!
I LOVE my Keurig. Best gift Alex has ever given me! I have to say – I still treat myself to Starbucks every Sunday morning….I look forward to it every week. HA!
Yay for you! Starbucks is SOOOOOO expensive. I need to get rid of the Sonic Happy Hour drink, but I just can’t do it!
Yay for Hayes eating food now! Woohoo!
