Anatomy of a Meltdown

Tried to get a few shots of Wyatt last night since I had taken him for a haircut and he was looking so handsome. Of course, that was not on his agenda last night, so it was very much a waste of my time to even try....








Other than that, the packing continues! I kinda goofed off yesterday and didnt get too much done so I need to make up for it today. Bleh.
Also been trying to clear out and use as much stuff in the fridge and freezer as possible. I hate wasting stuff. So, ummm....it is gross OR grosser than gross to eat fish sticks for breakfast?
Answer is neither. Actually wasn't that bad, although I don't think I'll attempt it again, lol! Woulda been better except my tartar sauce expired in 2006 and I was not about to take that chance {even though I LOVE tarter sauce! I'd put it on everything if I could. I don't cuz its not the best thing in the world to eat, but YUMMMM!}

My First Day of Freedom...

or is it?
My last day of work was yesterday. It's a strange, yet blissful feeling waking up knowing I don't have to go to work. We had already paid for the daycare this week so Wyatt is at school and I am home packing. Which makes me wonder...which is worse, work or packing?? LOL
I will admit I have taken a break (or two) today. As I go through things to pack them away, I am coming across so many unfinished projects and many more I never even got started on. I'll share this one with you. I purchased this cheesy monthly planner at Big Lots for $2 and with a little Photoshop magic, turned into something much cuter! (sorry for the crummy pics and the glare)
Ok, I gotta get back to my stacks of boxes and rolls of tape now. Reckon I am not so "free" after all.

A *Special* Musical Monday

Today is my and Jason's 5th anniversary...sorta. We went to the Justice of the Peace on our lunch break, got hitched and went back to work (hungry since we didn't have time to grab a bite, lol). Generally, we don't really celebrate this anniversary though. We celebrate the ceremony date which is Sept 6th. And sorry, no pics to share. It was a quickie wedding for sure!

Here is a special Musical Monday in honor of the occaision though. If I haven't mentioned before, Jason is a HUGE Bon Jovi fan and he insisted we have this song on the wedding CD we gave out as favors.
Always, Bon JOvi

Musical Monday

Just a song I love...
This is Your Life, Switchfoot
I actually saw these guys in concert about 10 yrs ago before they were widely known. Oh my, how time flies....

Max. Occupancy: 2!

I wish someone could adequately explain to Wyatt in toddler-ease that my bed was meant for 2 people, NOT 2 and a half. Ugh.
This week we had some pretty bad storms and ever since he is terrified of rain, lightening and thunder. It never bothered him before, but he is petrified now. Not only that, since some of the storms are happening in the middle of the night, he's afraid to sleep in his bed. He has been fighting bed time all week and most nights he ends up sleeping with us since we are just too exhausted to try to reason with him anymore.
I just want my bed back. I just want to sleep 6 (7 if I'm lucky) hours without him kicking me or pulling my hair. Is that asking too much?!

Photo Friday!

Just a quiet, happy little rain puddle...


that is before Wyatt comes along!
