What a weekend.
This is some of the aftermath - three loads in, you guys. Three large, heavy loads. Granted, I can't solely credit this weekend for the mountain of laundry in our entry hall. This morning when he left for work, T asked, and I quote, "I'd really like it if you could do laundry today." I was all, "Sure. No problem, big boy." Then the kiss of death - he said, "AND put it away." OOOOOOHHHH whoa is me! Foiled by his stupid lawyer brain once again. I despise folding and putting away.
I made this apron for a white elephant party. I had it laying on my dining room table the night my sister came over to watch the Bachelor (only God will judge me). She walked in and exclaimed, "OhMaGawd, Jen!! You won best Housekeeper!! You so deserve it!" I just about peed my pants with delight over both the compliment and the hilarity of the statement (reference above).

The Box had his first sleepover! Note to all parents who haven't yet made the same mistake - I do NOT recommend it. Yes, it was the most exciting day of my little's guy's life and a pretty wonderful one for the moms... until we finally got around to going to bed at 1:30am. The peanuts stayed up until about 9 (well past bedtime), watched The Jungle Book, and ate pizza. The mom's gossiped, laughed, and drank wine into the wee hours. We were all so looking forward to snuggling in under downy covers and dreaming those happy, wine-soaked dreams when suddenly we heard that dreaded whine. First from one room, then a second, and finally all three rooms of babes were alive with cries for "Moma." Wahhhh wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. It was a rough night and a worse morning. Even Russell needed Starbucks the next morning. Chill out mom police - it's just a vanilla steamer.

Today I went to Target for cough medicine and left about $80 poorer. What did I even buy?! How does that store do it? Every time. Dammit. Also, I got my middlest (not to be confused with my littlest) sister to wear baby S while we strolled through that money pit of a store. Aren't they cute?
Speaking of that littlest sister, she rang last night at 11pm and was all, "Hey gurrrl. HEYYYY!! Oh were you sleeping?" Little M still thinks I'm cool! I wish I were 20 again - such a fabulous age to be.
Let's see. What else do I have for you?............. I ripped a giant hole in the inseam of my yoga pants at class last night while working my dragonfly. That was fun. Also everyone in the house is ill - humidifiers, the
NoseFrida, and cough syrup are running on all cylinders. I know you're disgusted by the NoseFrida. I was when my mom brought it home for me, but seriously, give it a chance. It is 5million times better than any other nasal aspirator out there!

That's all I've got. Cheers to you, you beautiful people.
