Insomnia

Has raised its ugly head again.....Some might say the fact that i only get it when i am sick or have to work, puzzling....All i know is i went to work for 12 hours on 2 hours of sleep, came home stayed up till 2am, woke up at 4 am and stayed up till 7 when i went back to bed...you do the math, not a good nights sleep

3 Small Words

Music to my ears...."I haveta potty."

I never thought i would love to have random, "pee" , "Poop", yelled at me randomly throughout the day, but i do..

And anyone who has spent any amount of time potty training a child will understand. The sight of my son in his little underwear, and the fact that he wants to pay me a quarter everytime I potty, makes me smile......

He is dying to sleep with me

Yeah thats right....I said it.....I dont think any man has wanted to sleep with me, as much as my son does....So how did my rockin night go last night? Here is a quick recap,
1030 pm exhausted going to bed
1115 insomnia has struck, up and at em, Tru tv i heart you
1240 i hear pitter patter of little feet and i cut him off at the stairs
0115 after 30 minutes of begging, "Mama please, i wanna sleep with you," i finally try and go to bed
0300 last time i look at the clock
0440 i hear pitter patter and once again spend half an hour of begging before i hit the bed

So, why am i doing this do you ask, Coen sleeping with me doesnt bother me, but for some reason he gravitates towards Denton and becomes his personal back heater.. He tosses and turns and you can hear him griting his teeth from the street, so he keeps Denton up....and since D had to work, again, he needed sleep....

So, now i find myself, in my bed watching ANTM marathon, while C does unmentionable things to my living room....Cest la vie, I work tomorrow,and payback is a BITCH

Weird

It is so weird around here late at night now that Denton has gone to day shift...it feels like it is 3 am, but it is not even midnight...had a great day with monkey even though i feel like crap...the honeysuckles smell wonderful...have a great weekend

Like the past 15 years never happened.....

...........except that today when I danced around my living room watching the New Kids perform on the Today Show, I was joined by my KID, singing and dancing along with me.....

Dont ask me how many times i have watched it, or how many times i have talked to or texted Juli and Sarah today....Just now that I am happy, and hopefully, if all things go as planned We will be very busy girls come October....

Whew...... Cant wait

Hey mom and dad

Coens end of schoolprogram was last night...He was nervous when we dropped him off and i was afraid when it was his classes time to sing he would shy out....Wrong....He spotted us and started screaming "Hey mom and Dad, Theres my mom and dad." He screamed the whole show, people kept turning around to see who he was yelling at and everyone was laughing. Now when people see us they shout "Hey mom and Dad...." Nice

Random things running around my head

1. Coen is out of school...what am i suppose to do with him 7 days a week....ahhhhhhh

2. I paid 65 dollars to fill up my Jeep today...ouch and i didnt even get foreplay

3. New kids on Today show in the morning, and i am thisclose to throwing Coen in the Jeep and heading to NYC, if it werent for his program and the afore mentioned gas raping i took i just might.

4. Expanding the Monkeyhead bag line so watch out...

5. Saw Ironman....loved it. Screw all the others RDJ is the hottest superhero, ever.

6. This argument has been going on in my car since Tuesday...
Coen: Mama i dont want to hear this song again
(New kids Summertime is on repeat)
Me : Tough, i wanna hear it.
Coen : Mama you are making me crazy with this song (as he sings and dances in the backseat)

7. I want a road trip, with my girls. I miss the old road trip days when we would all pile in the car with a bunch of ephedra, 44oz cokes, Debbie Gibson and the Annie Soundtrack and head off into the sunset. I think that is what i am looking forward to most of all about the New Kids reunion. I guess a little bit of reliving my "youth", know it sounds cheesy, but those were some of my best times, ever, and i would just like to do it just one more time.....


Miss you like crazy ladies, hope to see you soon

Summatime..whoa ohhh

Okay, so where was i last....Went to NOLA, had a blast, but too short, too short, wish i was back...

Dads birthday was fun, had the fam over, Coen and i baked and decorated a cake. Had my girlies over with their tots for some outdoor fun...

Mothers day was uneventful. Denton worked and Coen and i went to brunch at moms, with my fam... Met Dusty and her girls at the park monday, had some laughs and some gossip...

And now, i am sitting in my little nook with The New Kids new single on replay...If denton doesnt shoot me now he never will... It is sooooooooo WEIRD and SURREAL to have actually written New Kids new single....It has been like 16 years....bizarre....When i think about what i hope is to come i start getting all giddy and my heart starts beating so fast, the ultimate anti-ager, I am all of a sudden 13 again in my ripped jeans and black shiny shoes, bangs teased and sprayed to the ninth degree....

I know it sounds really silly to anybody who was not apart of it, but for those of you who were you know what i mean...That whole experience totally changed my life, it is one of the single most important things to have ever happened to me...besides the birth of my child...

It brought me closest to 2 of the coolest girls i have ever met, i learned to take up for myself, got to travel all over the country and had the best time of my life.....

I cant wait to relive it all over again.......

"I think about you in the summertime,

The past few days have been so nice....Coen went all day with no accident, including school...we spent the last few days doing yardwork which was nice....and today we had our first get together here at our new home in honor of my dads birthday....coen has actually been behaving and denton has been home...it has been blissfull

Finally!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Soooo....Let me just say how proud i am of my lil man....We had a rather intense weekend, but I am so happy to say that Coen is now potty trained.... Yah Yah Yah Yah Yah Yah Yah

You cant see me now, but i am still dancing.

Potty training has been difficult for Coen. But last week after he told me he just "didnt want to get up and go", that i realized he was just being lazy. Plus he had developed a horrible rash on his crease and i knew it wasnt going to go away staying in wet pants. So i took a good friends advice ( enter shout out to jen here) and just put his big bou underpants on, and called it a day. The reward system never seemed to work for him but taking things away from him works like a charm. And the boy loves his money. So we made a Coen bank jar and a Mommy bank jar. He starts the day with 10 shiny dimes and every time he peed in his pants he gave me 1 and everytime he pooped he gave me 2. Accidents were had, but i only received 6 dimes all weekend. He even stayed dry at the Jazz fest and used the Porta Potty. I cant tell you how many times i have turned the corner in the backyard and seen his white butt watering my grass......

What a good weekend....
