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.

Whew!
I apologize for being so neglectful, but y'all... I can't remember the last time I was so busy! Here is a rundown:
This is all over a span of like 2 weeks. And finally, hopefully, things are calming down a little... oh wait, nope, I totally forgot that Round 2 is coming up.
Take a deep breath AJ....
I'm going to focus on the fact that I will be lunching, in the warm Southern sunshine, with one of my besties on Sunday! Ghostman on 3rd, otherwise known as Joy, will be meeting me for some frosty beverages at Red's Icehouse. And if it weren't wishing my entire weekend away I would say "I CAN'T WAIT!!!" If I remember, which is always a big IF, I will take tons of pictures to post. Well, of Joy anyway because she is gor-geous and so much fun.
Now, I just have to make it through Friday!
- LJ has a really bad ear infection.
- My Stella and Dot adventure is going REALLY well! (Yay! And PS. let me know if you would like to host a trunk show or online party!)
- I won a Baby Einstein Discovery Kit by simply retweeting- and be sure to follow @BabyEinstein on Twitter if you want to enter one of their contests. Okay, that wasn't really chaotic.
- I'm working on a new property and things are a mess and I've been put in an impossible place and it is making me crazy. I mean, y'all, someone might lose their job. Thankfully, that someone is not me. But still.
- We had LJ's Christening and fed the masses. Fun, but tiring.
- Jax had a bachelor party, so I stayed with my parents. They were kind enough to take us in for the weekend.
This is all over a span of like 2 weeks. And finally, hopefully, things are calming down a little... oh wait, nope, I totally forgot that Round 2 is coming up.

Too Much
So for the past few days my life has been consumed with planning and reading and partying and just generally trying not to screw anything up. By the way, I'm majorly failing at that last little thing.
My Stella & Dot Launch party was Saturday. The planning was ridiculous, but I must say that it seemed like a huge success! My girlfriends showed up, we ate and drank and played with jewelry, and enjoyed being together. HUGE thanks to my Mama for cooking all of the food! And another HUGE thanks to Daddy for keeping LJ entertained!
Let it be known that it is impossible for me to plan two things at one time. My son's Baptism is this Sunday... am I prepared? Nope. Not even close. Major fail. I don't think I even want to talk about it anymore.
So let's talk about Twilight, or I guess New Moon. I borrowed it from a friend on Friday, started reading on Sunday and finished it on Monday. My conclusion? Bella is a very flat character. And very annoying. She didn't bother me so much in Twilight, but I found her to be completely moronic in New Moon. Whiny. Needy. Overly impulsive. And yes, I get it that she is supposed to be a teenage girl and they have a flair for the overdramatic- I know that all too well.
That said, I am totally Team Edward. I don't even understand why there is a Team Jacob. Maybe I was too busy being irritated with Bella to judge fairly. Maybe the next book will change my mind. Maybe I will go buy that book today. If I do, then y'all won't hear from me for like... oh I don't know... 24 straight hours while I put aside all other obligations?
Am I being too hard on Bella? I'm feeling quite overwhelmed lately and don't have much patience for anything. If it were possible for me to go hide under the covers for a week and shut out the entire world, I would totally do it. There isn't anything wrong, necessarily. I just want to crawl out of my skin. I want to be still. I don't want to think about anything. I have no motivation.
Maybe I'm just depressed because Jax isn't a vampire.

Junk And Other Fun Stuff
I am at a complete loss. Are you seriously telling me that it is ONLY Wednesday? Wait, it is Wednesday, right? My brain is on overload.
Good news! LJ slept all.night.long. Of course, I should have expected this since Jax was going to get up with him should he turn into the Screaming Banshee Child again. I literally leapt out of bed at 4:30am because I was sure the fact that he hadn't made a peep meant that he was... well, no need to get morbid on your asses... on a freakin' Wednesday, no less.
The funny thing is that I didn't have my contacts in- because, duh, it was 4:30 in the morning- and I didn't put my glasses on. And I swear when I walked into his room I didn't see him in his crib. He was balled up in a corner. My heart was up in my throat somewhere because I thought my kid was gone. Yeah, he is 7 months old, so I'm not sure exactly where he would have been. I don't even pretend like I'm rational at that time of morning.
So, you may be wondering what I've been up to this week. No? Okay, well I will tell you anyway. I gave my work computer a virus. No need to go into how (it might have been while I was searching for an image for my blog- hence, no pictures today!), but just let it be known that the computer guy told me it is happening to everybody. He may have been lying, but it made me feel better.
I have also joined Weight Watchers. It is easy for me because I pretty much eat the same things everyday.
Fact 1: I don't drink nearly enough water. I already knew that.
Fact 2: It seems that I don't eat enough food, either. How the hell is that? I eat. I love food. And more importantly, if I'm not eating enough food, then why am I not a skinny little skank bitch like I wanna be? HUH? Answer me that! No, really, I don't think I need the details.
Last but not least, I have something really important to tell y'all. Unfortunately, it will have to wait. Can't really divulge too many secrets because HELLO it is the Interwebz and I'm not sure who all is reading this junk*. Give me a week or two and I promise I will tell.
*Thank you Ke$ha for bringing the word junk back into my life. I didn't even realized how much I missed it until I found myself referring to my own junk. Junk= need for Weight Watchers.

Worn Out
Christmas is big times, y'all. Now I am just exhausted. It was great, though! I hope you can all say the same.
Little J decided that he would give me three special gifts: longer naps (word), sitting up (finally), and sleeping on his stomach. Hold the phone... I totally did not request the latter. Oh well, what can you do?
Seriously, I think I'm so tired that I can't even think of what to write. We will go with this instead...
Oh yeah, and y'all, IT SNOWED! Not stick to the ground snow, but honest to God big fluffy snowflakes! It was wonderful. Combine that with family, chili, and a nice afternoon nap and I had the most perfect end to Christmas that I could have imagined.
*These pics were all taken on my phone. I swear I have a real camera. And I use it. If I think about it, I will post better pics later. Don't hold your breath, it might take me a while.

This little sign is in my kitchen. It cracks me up.
Little J at his first oyster roast, which just so happens to be
the First Annual Jax Christmas Eve Oyster Roast.
Merry Christmas, Mama! I'm sleeping on my tummy!
(FYI, Sleep Sack, not a blanket)
I got a big boy toy! VROOOM! I haz happiness!
AJ haz happiness, too! (times 2, thank you Mama and Jax!)
"The State" = The most awesome old MTV show EVAH.
Adorable, just adorable.

Reindeer Food
Let me see if I can correctly remember this conversation...
Me: Little J and I are going to make Reindeer Food on Christmas Eve to leave out for Santa's reindeer!
Jax: What is Reindeer Food? What do you mean?
Me: It is oatmeal and gold glitter.
Jax: Reindeer can't eat glitter.
Me: No, the glitter shines and shows them how to get to our house. Then they eat the oatmeal while Santa is leaving toys.
Jax: Wait, so do you add water?
Me: Ummm, no. Why would we add water?
Jax: So, what do you do, put it in baggies? Is it real glitter? What are you talking about?
Me: We are going to put it in baggies for him to give to his friends, but we are also going to put it in our yard. And yes it is REAL glitter! And oatmeal! For the reindeer to eat!
Jax: If I see you come home with a big box of oatmeal I'm going to hide it from you until after Christmas.
Scrooge. Whatevs, we are totally doing it anyway.
I just realized that Christmas is like two weeks away. And I still have the majority of my shopping to do. Including ONLINE shopping. Oh my, this is so not like me.
HALP! HALP! PANIC! CHAOS! Good Lawd, I'm going to need a Valium to make it through the next two weeks. Especially if I keep having conversations like that with my husband.
