Pampering Myself!!!!!!

So this weekend I have decided to take some time out for me :) Yep, no Jason and no griffin, although I will miss them- not really :) I am getting my hair cut tomorrow, and you may be saying big deal- but yes it is a big deal b/c it is very hard to do this with Griffin. Jason works during the week so i can't go mon-fri b/c who would watch griffin?? So, tomorrow after his swim lessons i am off to get my hair cut and styled, and yes, it is before his nap time, so then i can come home and relax while he is napping.

Then Sunday morning at 10 am, i am treating myself to a prenatal massage for an hour and a half. I have decided that i am going to get one of these every month until baby number 2 arrives- so that is 3 massages :) and if you have ever been preggers you know what a godsend the prenatal massage is :) and yes, i should make it home right as griffin is going down to nap again :) So 2 free mornings in a row all to myself- i can hardly contain my excitement!

Oh yeah, and stay tuned for the announcement of the name we have chosen for Griffin's little sister :)

Until next time...........

The "older" mothers

So, Griffin doesn't like to eat- big shocker! He is a very picky eater. I was a picky eater as well, and as my mom likes to say payback is a bitch, and yes, she was right. At first i used to call the doctor every other day and take griffin in to the doctor b/c he doesn't like to eat. The nurses and doctors have all assured me that this is very normal and most toddlers don't eat much. So , i have decided not to be concerned with this sinceI have other things to think about right now. Like, um, a baby is coming in 3 months and we need to get a nursery together, pick a name, yada yada. And i am taking griffin to California and that is a 6 hour plane ride so that is consuming my mind everyday about how sucky that ride is going to be. But back to griffin not eating, so okay, i figure one day he is going to have to eat, right? Right! I mean don't get me wrong there are a few staples to his diet- crystal light, juice, milk, yogart smoothies, dunkin donuts, gold fish crackers and mcdonalds french fries- that about covers it. So when he eats fries i am like wow, he ate fries, i mean hello, fries are potatoes right?, so he is eating his veggies :)

But like i said i am not concerned b/c it is just a phase. Once the "older" mother finds out what Griffin eats i feel like i am being scolded by a mother figure (not you mom, bc/ you understand how it is). In my neighborhood most of the moms have kids around griffin's age but they are like 10 + years older than me! the average mom is 40 in my neighborhood and i guess b/c they are older they are the type moms that puree all the organic food for their babies, don't let them drink juice, etc.- that' s the mom i am talking about. Shit, go to the market and get some gerber jars- seriously! i mean who has that kind of time- not me! so they all say wow, aren't you worried he doesn't eat, and i say no he eats, and i tell them what he eats and they can't believe i take him to mcdonalds. yep, these are the type of people i deal with on an everyday basis. then they tell me that b/c he doesn't go to bed until 8:30 pm and sleeps all night until 7:30-8am and he naps for 2 hours in the middle of the day that he is going to bed too late. HUH!!!!! he sleeps all night, what is wrong with that. The older" mom says he should be going to bed at 7pm. Well, let me tell you something those kids that go to bed at 7 wake up at 6 am, sorry, i need my beauty sleep, and at 7 we are just sitting down to eat, they all eat at 5pm, i guess the early bird special! It's just like they are all alpha moms and i am pretty laid back about griffin. so far he seems to be a normal healthy kid- so i think we are doing something right.

I could go on and on with different stores about the "older" mom but i don't want to bore you. I am just glad that for me, i had my kids when i was younger b/c shit when i am 40 griffin will be 13. I couldn't imagine being 40 and having a one year old- yikes!

Until next time.......

I'm Bored

Griffin is napping and I have alreay eaten and watched my tivo, i am exhausted but can't sleep, why can't i sleep during the day??? i have been cursed and i can't nap during the day , it is insane. i will lay there and nothing, just can't do it. So, i figured i would post a pic of griffin and bentley. if anyone has any napping tips let me know!

until next time....

Tom Freaking Hot Brady!

So Mr. Brady is the new face of stetson and me likee a lot! He is just sooo good looking. He is up there with David Beckham in my book for good looking athletes :) We love you Tom!

Until next time........

Pats vs. the Cowboys

Okay, so this upcoming weekend the Pat are playing the cowboys and people here ask who are you cheering for? Well, I say, that's an easy,. the team that doesn't cheat! I am planning on cheering for the Dallas Cowboys against the Patriots this weekend. People are in shock, how can you cheer for another team, you live in New England. Yep, I sure do, and I love Tom Brady. He is HOT HOT HOT!!!! But, I just can't bring myself to cheer for cheaters, and they admitted the cheated! And what is really sad about the whole cheating thing is, they didn't need to cheat. the Pats are a kick ass team and didn't need to resort to that, they would have won anyways. They truly are that good. But they did cheat and i am not cheering for them this season. If you ask someone here in Boston, gosh it sure sux that the Pats did that, and all they can say is, oh well, who cares, everyone cheats- good morals they are teaching their kids!!!! So, i am going to be the black fish this weekend, and me and griffin are cheering for the Cowboys :) We are going to wear our cowboy attire out and about and be proud. And you ask who Jason is cheering for???? He has turned into a true new englander b/c he is cheering for the Pats! Oh well, what can you do. I'm sure that the cowboys are going to loose but hey, at least they have heart and don't need to cheat! But yes, Brady is still HOT!

Oh yeah, and how 'bout them red sox!!!!!!!!!!!

Until next time...........

Brit Brit!

Okay, so after turning over her kids to K-FEd yesterday you would think that Brit Brit woud be sad to leave her kids or at least try and change her ways. WRONG!!

(an excerpt from perezhilton) She went to get some burgers at Carl’s Jr. She dropped off her kids to K-Fed’s bodyguard. She went tanning. She went to the DMV. She spent time at the Peninsula Hotel.
And, Britney even managed to find time to squeeze in to her busy schedule to have dinner at Nobu in Malibu on Monday night.
How does she do it all? She’s a superwoman!

All i can say is I feel so sorry for small fry and tater tot!

Until next time.........
