weekend rewind

I can barely keep my eyes open right now.  Yikes.  I used to have insomnia issues during college and law school but for the most part I don’t deal with it too much anymore.  Every once in a while it’ll take me a while to fall asleep…but then every few months I’ll have a night like I did last night….WIDE AWAKE until 3 am.  Worst feeling ever.  All I wanted to do was SLEEP.  I am SO tired right now, maybe I can snooze in my car during lunch?? ;-)  Anyways, I’m still fighting some type of cold/respiratory infection so I wasn’t feeling all that great this weekend.  I’ve been feeling icky since last Wednesday, ready for this stuff to GO.  We took it easy this weekend and it was MUCH needed.  We did nothing Friday night and I was SUPER lazy/rested/slept when the kids napped Saturday for most of the day.  Well, slept in between coughing.  I finally felt a little better in the afternoon so we went out on the lake for a couple of hours with some friends, but had an early dinner and I was home in bed by 8:30!  Not sure if that has ever happened on a Saturday night before.  We spent the day Sunday traveling to Asheboro, NC to say “goodbye” to Mikey’s grandfather, who was moved to hospice on Friday.  He’s 95, so although sad, he’s lived a full, good life.  It was a sudden downturn so that’s hard, but we definitely don’t want him in pain anymore.  Although the visit was sad, the kids don’t really get it and totally enjoyed hanging out with their cousins.  I still can’t believe there are two sets of twin boys on the Glenn side of the family, nuts! 

 

In other super amazing news, the boys are potty trained.  I feel silly “calling it” this early, considering we just started last Monday…but they only had like one accident each that first day and that’s IT.  I’m sure there will still be a few here and there when we forget to remind them, but for the most part they are TRAINED!!! HOLY WOW!!  I’m in shock b/c I kept putting it off b/c I didn’t think they were ready…but I guess they were!  So proud of those boogers, and they are SO darn cute in their little undies!!  J They even made the three hour drive to NC in undies and we only stopped ONCE for the potty.  (!!!)  There’s a tiny bit of me that mourns this b/c it’s just one more “baby” stage I’m letting go of….obviously they’ll still wear diapers at night for a bit…but it’s just one more sign they are growing up! 

 

Here’s to a new week, with a LOT less diapers!  CHEERS!

My Pinterest inspired master bedroom makeover part one.

The BEFORE pictures. I've been itching to re-do my master bedroom for quite some time now. I am one of those people that likes to re decorate quite often...unfortunately for my bank account. Mikey's mom bought him a full queen sized bedroom suite when he graduated college, which was wonderful. It is very nice furniture and has served us well. But, I am SOOO sick of all the dark matchy-matchy look it brings. I will use this furniture again in a guest bedroom one day...but for now, it's time to retire it from my master. All of my bedding and rug I had previously...I've now had this zebra/brown/green theme for almost 4 years...so over it! Fortunately for us...my brother and SIL got a new bed...so what do we get?? Their old KING size bed!! Woohoo. I do NOT like for people to touch me when I sleep, I need my space...I've been wanting a king for so long. Even though our room isn't the biggest the king is working out okay...we aren't going to be in this h...

What's in a name?

I tell ya, the name game is HARD. Really hard. I never thought that I'd be 27 years old and pregnant and not know what I wanted to name my child. I *think* we have come up with the one , but I'm not quite ready to put it out for the world to see...you know, don't want to many people rushing to get monogrammed bubbles. Ha! Jokes! Anyways...so I can look back and remember what all we went thru to come up with a name in 20 years I am going to lay it all out there. I'll start with saying I want a family name to be somewhere in my children's names. It doesn't have to be a first name, but some name in the child's name I want to be from a family member/family. We'll start with boys names, because they got taken off the table when we found out it was a GIRL..this will be short. Mikey's middle name is Thomas...his grandfather's name is Thomas. So...we always said Thomas would be in our son's name. I always thought it would be cool to do a Tho...

Takeover Tuesday

Surprise Caro, guess who hacked into your blog! I know what you are saying to yourself...I can’t believe it’s taken this long for me to mess with you on here. For those of you who haven’t figured it out yet, this obviously is not your sweet Caroline, this is her wonderful, sarcastic, fun loving, baby daddy (or is it babies’ daddy now?), also known as her husband. (Caro at her finest, throwing me a great 25th birthday celebration) Where do I begin…. I guess we can talk about how this marital bliss came to be before we talk about the author of this blog and how amazing she. Caroline has been the love of my life for as long as I can remember, we were actually first grade boyfriend and girlfriend if you can believe it. After first grade, there was the great divide, as both of us went to different schools the following year. Finally, after 10 agonizing, lonely years we were reunited at a house party our senior year in high school. I, naturally, had always kept an eye on her throughou...
