So it seems that I've taken a bit of an unintentional bloggy break. Sorry about that. My day is so crammed these days that I just can't seem to find the time... hell, most days I can barely put a sentence together, much less write something worth reading. Yes, I'm whining. It is annoying. No one wants to read that, right?
In an effort to make everyone feel my pain- not really- I'm going to give you a run down of a day in the life of AJ. Fasten your seat belts.
5:15- alarm goes off. Check Twitter and see what I missed, duh.
5:30- coffee, news, try to wake up a little
5:45- more than likely LJ is waking so I have to scoop him up, get him changed, and give him some puffs
6:00- wake up Jax, hand off LJ for a bottle, start getting ready for work
6:45- start packing up LJ's stuff for the day
6:50- hopefully out the door
7:05- drop LJ off at daycare
8:25- get to work, if traffic was light I might grab a latte on the way in
*At this point I bust my ass until 5:00. Sometimes I get a lunch break, but most often I don't. I'm the only person in my office right now. It super SUCKS.
5:00- leave my office to sit in traffic
6:15- get home, if I'm lucky and traffic wasn't too bad
6:17- get a glass of wine
6:20- start fixing LJ's dinner
6:30- feed LJ
6:45- LJ's bath
7:00- LJ gets a bottle
7:15- get LJ ready for bed
7:30- start cooking dinner, eat, maybe watch a show on tv
9:00- hopefully getting in bed so that I can try to get a full 8 hours of sleep
Seriously, I couldn't make this shit up. Everyone's got their busy days.

Cuteness Overload
My precious little boy.... He isn't really a baby anymore. Take a look at the proof.
And my other baby boy
I'm one lucky mother. Okay, I can't lie... that last sentence was funny. Just me? Sorry, I have a weird sense of humor. I hope you all had a lovely Mother's Day weekend!

One Year Ago...
This was me about a year ago. It is so hard to believe it was a year ago! It seems like it has been five years. My little baby is turning into a little boy. And I can't lie, when I look at these I miss being pregnant.

Oh My Girls Weekend
Yep, it has taken me this long to somewhat recover. Well, kind of. I'm still tired, but these days when is that not the case? So I got an amazing stress relief by hanging with the friends who know me best. And thank God because that means they know what to expect out of me.
We stayed on Isle of Palms in Little Daina's fiancee's beach house. Pretty sweet. Doesn't get much better than that! Drinks were ON as soon as we got to the house. And snacks. Good Lord the snacks. And cupcakes. From Cupcake. Pure heaven.
Anyway, aside from the food... the weekend was magnificent. Joy and I slept in a striped room. It was vomit-inducingly striped. Navy and white stripes that made the room seem like it was spinning. And no, that wasn't the alcohol.
We went out Friday night for Mexican. Excuse me, nasty Mexican food. The server couldn't speak English and gave me some strange combination of chips, beef (?), and cheese that was supposed to be nachos. I love nachos almost as much as I love cupcakes, so this was a major travesty. For anyone who doesn't know me, I do not hide my feelings well. AT. ALL. Not to mention that the server looked at me funny when I asked where the sour cream, and gaucamole, and lettuce, and tomato, and SHIT THAT OUGHT TO BE ON FUCKING NACHOS was. Sorry for my outburst, but I'm passionate about nachos.
Luckily, we went back to the house before anyone else could piss me off. We had a lovely time chit chatting over wine and I actually woke up Saturday morning feeling great!
Well, great until I had breakfast. It was fantastic, but my stomach isn't used to much more than a granola bar and coffee in the morning. Oh, and speaking of coffee, it seems that I may have woken up everyone in the house when I went into the kitchen at 7:00am to make coffee. It was a total Folgers moment, for sure.
Linds and I went shopping and she introduced me to the Dollar Spot at Target. I got an awesome Royal Hat for just $2.50! And I bought Joy some neon green Kanye West glasses... that she still hasn't worn. Whatevs.
Since I burnt up my check card, I figured the next best thing to do was go burn on the beach. Of course I wore my SPF, buuuuttt I may have gotten a little on the crispy side. Actually, in some strange places. That spray stuff is weird. I do believe at one point in the evening I said that it looked like I had flames coming from my crotchal region. Hmmm. Anyway.
Little Daina's lingerie shower was hilarious. The girl has never worn a thong in her life. She was so cute and embarrassed and Gung-Ho at the same time. She is pretty dang awesome. Then we all got showered and changed and headed out to dinner. PS. someone may or may not have gotten punched in the ass a few times by someone who might have gotten roofied out on the beach. Or something like that. I don't think the roofied person spoke much English, so it is hard to know really what was going on.
Dinner was nice, dancing afterward was super fun, and I was damn tired by the time we got back to the beach house. I haven't spent that much time with the girls in a long time and it was much overdue.
As promised, I have no pictures. Well, yet. I might be able to steal some off of Facebook or something. It might be a good thing that we don't do this often. It might just kill me. Oh yeah, and before I forget, I had a massive chocolate cupcake with a mountain of chocolate icing and fudge on top for breakfast on Sunday. The perfect ending to a pretty perfect weekend. xoxo to my favorite girls :)
