Happy Friday, y'all! Except now it's Saturday...so I'm posting a day late. Sue me.
-TGI freakin' F. I can't wait for this week to be over! The MIL is coming to visit on Sunday for the week. Should be fun! And my berfday is Monday - happy 32 to me!
-I went to Columbus, OH yesterday for a meeting at Bath & Body Works with my boss. I am jealous. They have a BBW AND a White Barn Candle store in their lobby. And it smells all pretty. There are grounds to walk, a lake to sit by, and a kickass cafeteria. My building doesn't even have a vending machine.
-By far the BEST part of my visit to Columbus was the hour I got to spend at the airport bar with Cammie!! I love that bitch. I do have to say though, it was odd to have my boss meet one of my crazy "internet" friends...and then having to explain how we met. Interesting.
-As I mentioned earlier, Monday is my 32nd birthday. I can't believe I'm so old! I've been hinting (ok, well not so much hinting) at my need for an iPod Touch. The husband says no, what else do I want? Money. $300 to be exact. So I can go buy my iPod touch.

How am I raising a teenager already?
Lauren, Lauren, Lauren. Are all 5 year old girls really 16 in their brains? I am SO in for it when she's an actual teenager. Let's review:
-16 year old attitude? Check. "Mom, you are SO mean! Howcome you get to do whatever you want and I don't get to do ANYTHING?! (sob sob sob)"
-16 year old mannerisms? Check. Eye rolling, dirty looks, hands on hips, sighs of contempt.
-16 year old phone tendencies? Check. Most nights, she will bring me the phone and ask me to dial Grandma Debbie's phone number in Florida. Last night, she disappeared into her room with the phone for over half an hour. Who knows what they talk about, but she's hilarious while she's doing it. She talks about "your land" when she talks about Florida, and "my land" when she talks about home. They've also made plans to do all her homework together while daddy and I get to "relax".

NOT ME Monday
Happy Monday...yeah right. Here's a list of all the things I did NOT do over the past week or so.
*I did NOT allow my son to sleep in his swing nearly every night for the past week. Sleep...screaming baby...tough choice.
*I did NOT sit in the rocking chair with Christopher at 4am and list in my head all the reasons I HAVE to go to work.
*I did NOT skip my Weight Watchers meetings for the past month.
*I did NOT ask my husband for an iPod Touch for my birthday, because I did NOT just get a new Nano for Mother's Day last year.
*I am NOT debating putting Christopher in a snowsuit and sticking him in a snow drift for some pictures.
*I did NOT say "Now What?" after finishing Breaking Dawn. I also did NOT start reading Twilight over again, because I was totally ready to let go.
*I did NOT give away the ending to Breaking Dawn to a friend that hasn't read it yet. No really, I didn't.
*It's 7am and I am NOT sitting here with a towel on my head watching the weather report yet again instead of getting ready to go to the office that is NOT FOCKING CLOSED.
*I am NOT at all bitter that even though Jason cleaned my car off before he left for work this morning, and shoveled me a path to get to said car, that he's not here to clean it off again...because it's NOT covered in focking snow again.

Friday Random Thoughts
Woot! Two posts in one week. Heh. How about some random thoughts for your Friday viewing pleasure? I’m sure I’ve got something swimming in my little head.
-I had two near misses this morning on my way to work. I am more convinced than ever that there is an invisible, protective bubble around my car. The first one, I was making a left out of the daycare parking lot as the mini bus was turning in. I looked and didn’t see anyone behind her so I started to go – when I saw a freakin’ taxi fly out from behind her. I went to slam on my brakes – and MISSED the brake pedal. I missed the dude by inches. Then I missed another guy as I backed out of my 7-11 parking space. There was a truck next to me and I couldn’t see. Good thing I was pulling out at a snail’s pace.
-I found out recently that a former friend (and by former, I mean I haven’t spoken to her since I was 18) has her child in the same daycare that I use. We had a falling out over something totally ridiculous, so I wonder if I’ll actually say hello to her next time I see her.
-Speaking of blasts from the past, I ran into someone yesterday in 7-11 that I have not seen or spoken to in YEARS. I dated his friend when I was in 8th grade! I couldn’t believe we even recognized one another.
-My little boy Christopher has a blood blister on his lil’ itty bitty pinky toe. L How on earth does a 4 month old manage that? It’s not like he’s walking, or even wears shoes for that matter! I doubt we’ll ever figure out that mystery.
-Speaking of Christopher’s feet, how stinking cute is this picture?
-Lauren is becoming an expert on bears. She gave me a whole lecture this morning about how you can’t go near a baby bear or it’s mama will attack you, but if you leave the baby alone, the mama won’t attack you. And if you are attacked by a bear, you should play dead. Good to know she’s got that info incase she ever encounters a bear in Hicksville.
-I finished all 4 Twilight books, and was left with an empty, “Now what?” feeling. I’m not ready to let go. So I started over again with the first book. One of these days I’ll get to read Midnight Sun, but it’s kind of a pain in the ass to read 200+ pages as a PDF file. The DVD of Twilight comes out in less than a month. Can’t freakin’ wait.

Man, I really suck at this blogging thing, huh?
I really have no idea how people can come up with enough words to fill a blog every single day. My life really isn't all that interesting, people! But I'll try, because maybe one day I'll look back and laugh.
How about I tell you about Lauren? She's 5, and a million rays of sunshine in my book. Even when she is being the ultimate drama queen. Seriously, do you think that she and her little 5 year old friends have a competition at school to see who can rile up the parents the quickest? Sometimes, she can be the sweetest thing on two legs. And others...well, not so much. Sometimes I really think that her brain is 10 years older than she is, by the attitude that I get. Absolutely, flat out refusing to wear jeans - only skirts or fuzzy pants. Telling me that she'll pack up and move to Grandma Debbie's if she keeps getting into trouble - actually going so far as to pack a nightgown and a bathing suit in her bag and heading for the door. Dra-muh.
She can really be a nice person though, and I hope that keeps up as she gets older. I can see already that she's very empathetic. Sometimes I watch her while she's watching TV, she doesn't know I'm watching, she's in another world. If something "Bad" is happening, she gets this look on her face...I can't describe it with any other word but concern. And she truly, honestly loves her baby brother. It's so sweet to watch her with him - she doesn't even care when he yanks on her hair. I keep telling her she'll regret letting him do that when he gets older and can REALLY yank on it!
Sometimes I try to picture her as a teenager, or as an adult. The thought can almost send me into tears - I almost wish she could stay little forever. Except when she's acting big. ;)

Tuesday Thoughts
My brain is trying to get back to normal functions after my awesome drunken weekend in lovely Moorestown, NJ. Here are some random thoughts for your Tuesday.
*Cammie wants everyone to sign up for Twitter. I did, but I really don't know WTF it's for.
*I wonder how long it's going to take before I can separate my left arm from the rest of my body. The focker HURTS. But at least my skin tag thingy is gone.
*My husband kicked ass today. He picked Lauren up from school, went grocery shopping and had dinner on the table within 5 minutes of my walking in the door. He also did most of the dishes, emptied the dishwasher and washed all the baby bottles. Rock on.
*Christopher has pretty much been sleeping since 5:45 this afternoon. He woke up to have half a bottle and went right back to sleep. Man, I hope that doesn't bite me in the ass.
*I'm watching American Idol, but I can't really get into it this season. I've been bored with the auditions, and I'm really not feeling anyone. Bleh. It's entirely too time consuming to not be psychotically loved.
*A grape ice and some Doritos would be freaking AWESOME right now.
