Some Things I've Been Neglecting. {A Mish Mash Of An Update}
Monique | Tuesday, March 22, 2011 at 3:46PM Much to their dismay, these "things" aren't my children, whom upon learning that my new Nook Color could read have since attempted to replace me with better technology.
{Until, at least I can figure out how to delete the damn things from my library, completely. I demand that I have ONE thing for myself!}
My list of Things I've Been Neglecting Them And My Partial Excuses Reasons For Doing So:
1: My mother's website. Stumped on how to write about the company, the candles, and their newer items when I'm not there and can't remember anything about the candles beyond "Soy wax. Lead free wicks. Smells better than that Yankee Candle crap." And also unsure of storefront creation when the stock will be so varied.
2: Writing my EdenFantasys review. No. Instead, this should be...
2: Creating the time in my few moments of complete privacy, to actually test out the EdenFantasys product for my review. And also, getting over the severe fiery blushing that occurs whenever I think about writing it. Then, I wonder where the over sharing "I HAD SEX LAST NIGHT!" part of me went and why, of all things, it took my libido with it, which somehow leads me to my upcoming 27th birthday, and once I focus on that, depression just kind of gnaws at me until I fall asleep.
I should probably talk to my mother. Making her feel old, makes me feel young again. Oh. Wait. Where was I?
3: Writing my EdenFantasys review. And any other review I have waiting to be written.
4: Redoing this blog design. I'm pretty sure I want it to match my most recent signature tag and welcome doodle for the Razing Mayhem "Likey" page.
But actually getting to the point of creating a new header, changing the little bits of code around, and even changing my signature at the bottom of this post, requires more effort than I can pull from the depths of me. I'd actually hire someone to do my blog right now, if I didn't think that would be the worst idea ever. I'm too fickle to pay for a design I may only want for a week.
Ugh, this WYSIWYG editor box is so small, I have to scroll up to see what number I'm on! Screw it, I'll just guess...
7?: Reading. As I mentioned, my husband bought me this sick ass Nook Color as an early birthday gift. And while I was absolutely sure I liked it, I wasn't sure that me getting one was a smart idea since making the time to read is like making the time for whichever number testing out my EdenFantasys review product was.
But since Christian completely surprised me with the Nook itself, screen protectors because he knows of my anal retentiveness and an adorable pink cover - I feel like I need to prove to him that I won't let this gift hang out in the bottom of my purse. I am hugely appreciative of it, he knows how I have been feeling about getting rid of my books and he's trying to soften the blow.
8?: My husband. Which is really awful. While we spend exorbitant, obscene amounts of time with each other, we haven't had a real "date night" in a long time. He's getting the short end of the stick, being married to me. It feels like, every time we intend to devote the night to one another, we can't agree on a movie to watch, or I'm already exhausted and getting the kids to bed has put me in a horrible mood, or one of us has something else to do...
9?: A couple of my friends. I can't get into the reasons here {VAGUE, FTW}, but I find myself torn between ignoring behaviors and continuing to be frustrated by them or being a real friend and telling them what's up.
10?: Photographing stuff. Even though Severus is sticking out his tongue, Caesar can write a perfect letter A, and Mercutio is just cute as usual, I have no desire to pick up my camera. None. Come to think of it, I haven't given much attention to any of my hobbies as of late.
11?: Experiencing Washington. On any given day there are about 100 things we could be doing, rather than staying home and trying to convince Christian that cupcakes for breakfast is a smart idea, making science or doing arts and crafts. But we end up doing none of it.
Well, actually, that's not necessarily true. Just a few days ago we trekked to a different mall than the one we usually go to. Ha.
I know why I'm neglecting/avoiding the majority; I can't focus.
I sit down to do one thing and end up doing 3,000 others {I refuse to admit how long it took me to write this, in two separate sessions}, I'm constantly forgetting what I was doing 10 minutes before, or what I wanted to do 30 minutes ago. I'm scatterbrained and stressed.
I break out in big, red, itchy hives every time we start to discuss the details of our move. I could take an allergy pill which either knocks me out, makes me very sleepy, or makes me want to kill things, which isn't conducive to child rearing {or living with Christian}, or I could keep the itchies until the boys fall asleep. Which is what I do when the hives are as bearable as they can be.
The day after we finalized Caesar's removal from his preschool his good teacher was cleared to go back to work. So that sucks, but Caesar is doing so well with us at home, I guess I'm not too upset.
Mercutio is doing excellently on the potty training front, with few accidents as of late. The last one being his incident at the restaurant.
Severus is teething, scooting on his forehead and trying to sit up. I wanted to start baby led weaning with him when he was at least six months, but the kid is telling me he's ready now. His interest in food and eating is unmistakable, so I'll wait for him to start sitting up which should happen soon and we'll go from there.
I miss my daughter. I miss her every day. And I miss her so much I can't breathe sometimes. I am utterly dreading this move, I don't want to live in North Carolina, but whatever it takes to be closer to her.
We'll do it.

There. I changed the signature at the bottom. :)

This is a long entry. I bet you could have knocked out like 3 things on your list in the amount of time it took to write this. Just sayin. ;) I dig the new siggy pic - Put it up!
What are you reviewing from EdenFantasys? I got myself something I could use alone, haha.
P.S. Where did you get your little breastfeeding milestone badge? It links to kellymom but I doubt that's where it's from. :/
Janine - Admittedly, my time management skills these days are not even close to up to par. Usually I have no problems getting it all done in a timely fashion. I started this entry at midnight though, after I'd given up on everything else, so I'm not sure how much I would have really gotten done.
I picked a standard bullet, I understand it's kind of the "golden ticket" item in most collections? o_O
I found the blinkies here: http://photobucket.com/images/breastfeeding%20blinkies/?page=2#!cpZZ2QQtppZZ24 I just transfered them to my own photobucket account after making sure they were okay to use!
