99 problems

To quote David recently he told me that I need to stop "living like a rapper" and start saving a little more. Okay, I am the first to admit that the amount of packages that have been arriving at  home  work is a bit obscene. However in my defense I have P's second birthday coming up and two vacations to plan for.

That means I have to shop right? I even scored her a kitchen that I'll be gifting her on Christmas during Prime Day - which I don't think I got anything special for it being Prime Day but it made me feel better about the whole transaction. Originally it was her birthday present but then I thought it would be way more fun to see her see it on Christmas morning. So now it can sit in our garage and collect dust for 5 more months.

In other un earth shattering news this child of mine is yet again testing me with her sleep patterns. She is a night owl (much like myself so I can't really blame her) but I get so frustrated when I can't come home at the end of the day and have a nice predictable routine. It makes me grumpy and want to retreat to the bathtub with an entire bottle of rose. Most of my friends tell me their 2 year olds are in bed between 7-8pm. Meanwhile mine is pitching a shit fit still at 10:14pm.

HAAAAAALP. The problem is she still needs a nap so eliminating it won't help and I am just at a loss. Pass the bottle please.
Also I feel like I need to give everyone a (non-sponsored or affiliated) PSA about a non cartoony/ tacky set of puddle jumpers I found. Because even though the ones on the packaging look plain the ones they sell in the store are all not. However I found this one online and it's low profile. I dig it. Sorry boy mama's looks like stripes are all gone in blue.

I am eagerly counting down the days until our vacation even if it means trying to purchase a bathing suit that can lasso in the upper half of my body. Cause that's always fun...

10:27 and still crying - be kind to me Tuesday!

  1. Oh friend, I'm sorry her sleep is bad lately! Its so tricky because they fight it when they are overtired AND not tired enough. Just keep reminding yourself everything is a phase!

  2. Hi! I e been reading your blog for a while. My son will be 2 at the end of August as well. We struggled with bedtime for the longest time and were in the same boat as you. We finally found a routine where he takes his 1 nap between 11 and 12, and we don't let him sleep past 2. This has made a huge difference in getting him to bed between 7 and 8. He's also usually up for the day by 6 or 7. Good luck mama! It can only get better ��

  4. Living like a rapper. STILL hilarious!! If it makes David feel any better, I had three Amazon boxes on my stoop this morning, and I fully expect at least two more to come from UPS this afternoon.
    As for the sleep... Oy. P is programed like her momma! Sending all the good vibes (and rose) that something works itself out soon.

  5. Stop living like a rapper! LOL. I love it. Luckily I get home before Seth does so he doesn't know how many packages I get delivered! Oops.

  7. Aw, you mean he still sees them when you send them to work? I TOTALLY sneak mine in. ;)

    As for the sleep thing - what time does she get up? What time is her nap, and how long? Maybe that will help us offer some insight? Or maybe she's just a stinker....

  10. Avery has been giving us a run for our money in the sleep department as well. It sucks!! She used to be on such a good routine and I miss it so much. Also, I live like a rapper too! Haha
