"What did you say?"
Funniest thing happened last night...
I didn't leave work until 7:30 and by the time I left work, the Big Guy and I decided we'll just eat out for dinner. My boys were patiently waiting for me to get home and by 8pm, I was frazzled as I pulled up knowing they were both hungrily ready to eat. We decided to eat at Fresh Choice since it's just across the street and it's kid-friendly and Jake loves to eat off of their kiddie trays. The boys were walking out the door just as I pulled up (darn gates at our complex is driving me NUTS!) and off we headed to the mall. The second the Big Guy turned right to get into the mall complex, Jake said "mall". We both looked at each other like 'what did he just say?' So I asked him where the moon was, knowing Jake could easily spot it since it was full moon last night. So he pointed outside the window and said "moon." So I pointed at the mall and asked him where we were going. He said "mall". We couldn't help but just start laughing because we didn't even know he can say mall. The Big Guy just had to sigh and say 'well, he is YOUR son!' I called Grandpa D when we got home to brag about Jake being able to say mall - Dad just started laughing because apparently, he and Mom taught him how to say it. Too frikkin' funny!!!
So I'm not going to NY...for more reasons than one. It's ok with me. I don't like being away from my boys. This time, I purposely set up my meetings so I can fly out on Sunday and back on Wednesday. But then the big boss suggested I go shopping (yeah, I'm being told to shop...at work!!!) with Trend so I was supposed to change my flight to leave on a Friday, to shop the weekend and work on Monday. That would've been 6.5 days without my boys. No way!!! So yesterday, I gave my notice that I am not going to NY for Market. Done deal!!
10 boxes packed.... more to go....
My little household is moving starting next week. Bye to our first haven. It's not quite a place we can call our 'own' but it's a bigger place for our growing family. It's literally not even a mile away from where we are now, but the idea of packing my whole house right now is giving me a headache. Last night, the Big Guy and I (me mostly since I'm obsessive compulsive that way) packed about 10 boxes worth of stuff we don't even use: coffee table books, dvds, cds, Jake's baby toys. I started taking the frames off the walls and packed those along with other picture frames. Yes, my boxes are all labeled and I know exactly what's inside each box :). I told you I'm obsessive compulsive :>. 10 boxes packed....WAY more to go.
Happy Birthday, L!
Happy Birthday, Mama J!
