I confess...

Photobucket

I've been unmotivated to blog lately.

It's pajama day at camp and I hate the thought that Bug is set on wearing his fireman jammies. They're a size too small and about four inches too short but still his favorites and he wants to show them off. (Why can't I find NEW fireman pajamas that are the right size? Wouldn't you think they would practically be standard issue for little boys?)

I ordered a kindle yesterday and now I'm giddy and hesitant about its arrival. I know I'll continue to read (and smell) actual books that open to show real pages but I wonder if I'll love an e-reader the way everyone says I will...

The countdown to vacation is ON.

While I'm giddy about vacation, I'm also a little hesitant about it. We'll spend a week with Donnie's parents on Cape Cod, which is great but Bug's temper is slightly volatile these days and could create unwanted post July 4th fireworks.

I tend to stress out a little at this time of year...it's time to put together photos of Bug for his birth parents. I'm happy to do it but find it's a bit of a balancing act. The focus, of course, is Bug but I like them to see photos of us as a family as well. This year I think I may include some of his funny observations and maybe a few of his drawings, too.

I had a dream this week that I was dating Nelly.

I was in such a hurry to get ready for work quietly and NOT wake up Bug (who was in our bed) that I scooted out the door at 6am and forgot to put on deodorant. Lovely. CVS, here I come.

I wouldn't mind having a root beer float or a DQ hot fudge sundae for breakfast today.

  1. Everyone I know with a Kindle or a Nook is hopelessly in love.

    We went out to eat last night and while I ordered grilled chicken, I couldn't stop eating the fried crap off my kids' plates.

  2. I cannot tell you how many times I've managed to squeak out the door with no deodorant. Or worse yet, I drive to work obsessing over whether or not I might have forgotten. What a deal, right?

    PS - I have a Sony Reader. I like it. However, as someone who has a real LOVE for books - I don't love it as much as my books. I find the page turning thing to be a tad distracting, but it IS nice to lessen the chance of burning down my house. A little, anyway.

  3. Jealous about your Kindle--I want one so bad!
    I have deodorant in my desk drawer because I often forget to use it at home due to the craziness of the morning rush.
    The blizzards that DQ is advertising right now look so good. Alas, we don't have a DQ in our town.

  4. We gave my husband one for Father's Day and he loves it! I caught him reading in the bathtub this morning... :)
    That is so great that you send pics to his birth family!

  6. I like reading on my ipad but it's no substitute for a book. That said, I think the kindle would be a different story since it doesn't have the harsh backlight.

    How sweet of you to send pictures to your son's birth family. I think it's awesome that they are still a bit involved in his life. That will make things so much easier as he gets older I'm sure.

    Wow, I would definitely think fireman pjs would be standard for kids. That's so weird!

  7. I hope you got a root beer float for lunch :) sending photos to Bug's birth parents is SO sweet. I think including drawings would be awesome. SO sweet, Mag.

    Enjoy your Kindle! You're gonna be hooked!

  10. Jealous about the Kindle.

    If I had one I wouldn't be on TWO waiting lists at the library right now.

    Hmpf!

    Also, by chance, did Nelly sing to you....or was it "just a dream"?
