All About Aidan

/ aidan, life, mommyhood

I took the day off from work today because Aidan woke me up in the middle of the night freaking out and crying. I got maybe three hours of sleep. I’m pretty tired right now, but at least he’s happy and adorable.

I’ll probably get crap for this, but Teletubbies is on the TV. When he saw them he said “teletubbies” in his cute little voice! And his favorite toys lately are his preschool sized legos and his Hoover. I put batteries in the vacuum last night and he loves the thing. It’s so cute!

Dang it, he did something very adorable last night and I was supposed to document it, but I can’t remember! 🙁 OH, I know! He was pissed off while we were at Craig’s, and he first closed himself in the closet. Anytime one of us went to check on him, he got pissed and slammed the door. Then he did the same thing in the bathroom. I figured he was just having a moment and would be fine, but it was kind of weird. I expected that out of him about 11 years from now, not already!

Holy cow, I’m tired. Trying to think of something to make Aidan for lunch. Looking forward to nap time! 🙂

Hmm, so yeah. I waited so long to finish this that now Boohbah is off, Aidan is eating noodles for lunch, and I’m still tired!

He knows so many words now! It’s awesome. This morning, when I was helping him get dressed, he was talking away. But darned if I knew what he was saying. But he does say real words, and he knows shapes (triangle is his favorite!), some letters, he can draw some of the letters, and he knows a couple of colors too. He’s so smart!

He started going to an in-home day care twice a week on Tuesday. She said he’s adjusting well. What I like is that he’ll learn to share, and he’s trying new foods because the other kids are eating them. For example, yesterday he ate quesadillas for lunch! We’ve been trying to get him to try those for two weeks! I’m glad he gets to interact with other children and that he seems to love it there. I wonder, though. Is it normal for a child to have bad dreams after seeing a new care giver for a bit? ‘Cause of the change in routine?

More later, maybe.

Must Write Quickly…

So yeah. The goal is to be in bed before 11:30pm. Think I can do it??

I’ve been eating WAY too much. I’m going to get fat if I keep this up.

That’s it.

I’m severely cutting back. Else, my pants won’t be able to fit before long. And I can forget about getting a navel ring.

I don’t know why I’ve been so hungry lately…

Darn yummy snacks.

Or “nack nack nack” as Aidan would say.

Had an okay day, even though I was very tired. Catching up at work, sort of. Napped in a conference room during lunch. Watched a new Nationwide commerical that’s funny as all bananas. But I can’t disclose the details; the launch will be during the Superbowl. Trust me, it’s hilarious. Had a drama club meeting for The Grove. This should be interesting. They didn’t like any of my ideas but oh well. I had to do a lot of self talk not to take anything personally. Ate a meatball sub from Jersey Mike’s for supper. Yummmm!

I FOUND MY GLASSES! Oh wait, you didn’t know they were lost, did you? Yeah. I’m an idiot. Even though I looked through my bag 9,000 times, somehow I kept missing my glasses case. I had the darn things with me all along. Man, I’m a dork.

Things to do:
– update occassions book
– mail birthday card to Charla
– pay bills
– answer emails
– keep strong in my resolve

I think I might relax tomorrow night. Although I’d be up for renting a movie and watching it with people if that option were to arise. 😉

So yes, that’s all for now. Til later! 🙂

The Night Owl In Me…

/ life, ronni

…says “NO, it’s NOT time to sleep!”

But the practical me says “You’re going to be tired as hell so GET TO BED NOW.”

And the fun-loving whimsical me says “Who cares? It was worth it and besides, that’s what they make Red Bull for.”

devil eyes…garden state…ding dongs…kool-aid…buddy the elf…loads of pictures…maniacal laughter (that may have only been me)

Let me just say that I’m in love with my friends. 😀 I’ll do anything for them.

And American Idol! Haha, some of those people. Dang.

Long day ahead. Work, Aidan, Craig’s for a bit, then drama club meeting. I’ll be out ’til 9pm at least. I think I’ll be turning in quite early. Like, once I get home early. Meep. I’m thinking a lunchtime conference room nap will be on the agenda for sure. I love those. 🙂

Looking forward to the weekend! 🙂

Yeah, sleepiness finally creeping in. I ate WAY too much today, remind me not to be so dang greedy in the future. I’m going to be up ten pounds in no time and that is never good.

(Not to mention the stomach ache. Ack.)

I want to take the day off of work. But I won’t. But man, it’s soooo tempting. I’m thinking one day off a month can’t hurt too badly, can it?

Good night!
