The one with cleanliness!

It feels soooooo good to have the carpets all clean! My floors are beautiful again. For the most part anyway. 


I need to vacuum everything again before putting everything back in it's place, but I broke the dang vacuum so I have to wait for Jose to fix it. So we are still living in a crowded mess of tile area. It's fun. 


I got my hair "trimmed" today, or so I thought. I had way more than I remember or thought. But glad it's all done! I have needed it cut for a while. 


I went to start a load of laundry and left him with his toys, naked because of course he had already spit up on two shirts I attempted to put on him after his nap, I gave up. I came back to him chatting away and the toys all around his head. 

He's done very well sleeping lately. Of course I'm a horrible mother and am out allllllll the time running errands and doing a million things so I haven't really scheduled him yet. I'm working on it now, and he seems to have set his own schedule. That was beautiful to discover. He is also putting himself to sleep for his naps and bedtime in his crib. 

A few nights ago he started making agitated noises around 2am and I went in to see what the problem was and he had somehow moved himself up the (inclined) mattress and was against the bars. I have no idea how that happened. I need a camera monitor. He moves so much in his crib. I'm curious about how he does it! 


This is accurate. I finished Allegiant today. It took me forever to get through because I knew that the ending wasn't the idealic happiness all around ending that I like. Yes. I'm one of those. But it was still good and I'm glad I read it--and I'm trying to be excited for the movie

Now on to my cousins book, Just Ella! 


We picked an awesome rug out at target last night, and then when we got home before I unrolled it I realized the pattern wasn't uniform and it was just random, and no way can my OCD handle that so it's going back and I shall pick a new one.

The one with the long day.

Well. It's my lady time of the month, so just remember that, it seriously made all of this like twenty times worse. 

This is how the day started out: 


It only started with one egg breaking, and then I grabbed the carton for another and bumped the door and totally killed the entire carton. Only 10 survived at all, and only 5 without a crack. That was the first time I was glad we had been lazy and not brought the empty carton we finished the day before to the recycling bin yet so I could use it again. 

Egg is not fun to clean up. And I didn't want to do it, but I did. I was worried about Luca but he just laid and talked to himself the whole time. That was helpful of him. 

Later I went out to my garage only to discover that my deep freezer was unplugged. I couldn't figure out why forever, but everything in it is completely thawed, and now trash so it's been a while. Then it finally dawned on me. On Monday we had a company come and seal our air ducts, it was supposed to take 30 minutes. It took four hours. Four dang hours where I couldn't do anything, our plans for the day were ruined, I couldn't get to my child's room because of their equipment, I had to keep my garage door open (into my house and outside--so freezing), I had a bunch of random guys all over, and a mess to clean once they left. They put a fan in my garage doorway so they could blow everything right out and it wouldn't stink up my house, but they had to plug it in somewhere. And oh hey. They never plugged my freezer back in. It's been 6 days. I'm super ticked. And calling the company on Monday. 

Then later I tried to return something to babies r us, and got completely lost. Which never happens, I've been there a million times and know where it is, but by the time I figured out where I was I was way to far back past it, it wasn't even worth it to go back. My child was not pleased. I still have the thing in my car. 

There were quite a few other things that happened that were frustrating but now I can't think of more, of course. However, I will add, even though it wasn't on the original list, the fact that my child hasn't slept through the night for a week because he was sick one night and needed diaper changes, and it's driving me nuts. Hence while I am blogging at 4am. I don't know how people do it, I need my sleep!! He better knock this off or I won't be able to function soon. 

The way I think usually depends on the social media I am using at the time, I know it's pathetic. I hardly ever post on Facebook, but when I did I would think in statuses, and for a while before I started blogging (one of the main reasons I did at all) I was thinking in hashtag mode. Now, thankfully it is what I am going to write on my blog! I'd say that was progress. At least this is a type of journal, and worthwhile unlike the other things. 

For the past few days I have been battling the "to read, or to blog" battle, and reading has come out as the favorite for the most part, and for once (in a very long time) it's not even harry potter--although I do read that to my child everyday. I'm almost done with the first divergent book and I have the next one ready and waiting! (And kenz--Jose is waiting for me to be done with the first one so he can read it! Way to spread the joy.)

The one where Mackenzie is right.

Well I've given in. Mackenzie talked about it enough and long enough that I bought the first book in Divergent series today. And maybe I'm almost halfway done. 


I'm not going to lie. The Hunger Games threw me for a loop. I loved the books. At first. And then I saw the movie, and my sanity was questioned. They are just soooo depressing. But when I'm reading I don't picture things as bloody and horrible as they are supposed to be apparently. I have no desire to see the last one, although I will because Jose likes them. They are just not feel good things anymore. 

That scared me off from the new series that are out now because they all seem to be about war, corrupt governments, and killing kids. What's up with that? 

However. This is very good so far, and I won't ruin it for anyone with my minor complaints so far. And when Sara calls it detergent it makes it all the more worth while. 

So well done Mackenzie. Well done. 

Luca has been waking up super congested lately (granted, it IS hilarious I listen to him talk in the morning because he sounds old) so I went to get him a humidifier for his room. We had one but it sucks so we had to get a good one. As a side note. The $15 one at Walmart may seem like a good deal--but it's not. Don't do it. 

I have been wanting to put Luca in the cart seat for a while and I finally did yesterday--I didnt bring my cart cover in with me, so I just used a blanket. He did really well! He only lasted like 10 minutes though, because of course, holding your head up is no easy task. He gets tired.
