Is it wrong that I am counting down the minutes to the weekend allready? It has been a long week!

Eh, it's Monday!
Running late.
Inpatient.
An I hate Mondays type of Monday!
And then as I burnt dinner - Justin made this:

Office visitor
Today was a long day. I had the best brow wax ever and that was a good way to start the day! But an evening meeting at work pushed my day to a little too long {good thing those meeting only happen once a month}. Plus Jason really pushed my buttons today, but I tried not to let it get me down.

The lady of the house
Right now Justin is out to dinner with Jason. I am always wanting a moment to myself, but honestly I have no idea what to do with myself! I need to fix myself dinner, but I am so used to preparing a meal in chaos that I can't bring myself to find something to eat yet. I don't have enough time to scrapbook - which is what I really need alone time for - so I thought I would get my photo of the day up. And oddly it feels weird to post my picture without my little buddy Justin by my side. Right now Paxil is on the desk purring in my ear and Harlow is exploring the desk. I guess I am not alone after all :)

Dinner of Champions
- Kraft Macaroni Spirals
- Broccoli
- Apple Sauce Parfait (organic/unsweetened apples sauce served in a sundae cup)
- 1/2 of a Flintstones Chewable Vitamin
- 3 Cheddar Cheese Jalapeño Poppers (these were for me)
- Corn/Carrot/Asparagus Veggie Mix (also for me)
- Shredded Parmesan Cheese (to sprinkle on top of mac)
Yes, we ate dinner at the coffee table - which happens very frequently around here.
Yes the TV was on - Justin picked Dr. Seuss, "Cat in the Hat."
Yes, we eat this meal often. Real.Often.
As of late, Justin wants to eat his meals with a big spoon. A big spoon that is made for serving - and he prefers that it have "dots" [aka - holes or slots for straining]. This picture today cracks me up because you can see his parmesan cheese falling out of the holes in the spoon and onto his lap, the sofa, floor and table. He quickly traded in his big spoon for one more appropriate to ensure more cheese would make it into the intended place, his mouth and tummy.

My little man
I had planned to post a picture I took of the counter above the junk drawer in my kitchen. The counter that holds my purse, the mail and all of the other stuff that comes into the house or needs to make its way out of the house. Then Justin gave me the little gem above which I think is much more interesting! I still felt motivated to clean my junk counter off and I have made {a little} progress. Yay!

Shining Star
I also need to take down my sparkling holiday lights before the HOA sends me a nasty gram. I am the only one left on the block still showing my Christmas pride. I never did photograph my lights. Here they are on their final night of glowing.

Good words...
From my Starbucks Grande Vanilla Latte cup today:
I have gone to 'bucks everyday this week {must break this habit} and this message was on my cup the last 2 days in a row. Heck, it may have even been there Monday, but I didn't look.
This struck a cord with me on several levels. And that is all I am saying about that :)

A rare event...
My house had to be spotless for the Broker's Open today. I busted my booty last night to get it ready - and this morning I over-slept. It was a hectic morning with all the last minute sprucing and bed making, but I made it to work on time, and was even able to stop at Starbucks on the way in.
I never make my bed, but... for Christmas I asked my mom for some throw pillows to girl-up my room. She got me some great pillows and I think I may be more motivated to make my bed on a more regular basis, just because it looks so great! I do love the brown and blue skeme! I want to add some more art to the walls and some new accessories as well, but I am very happy with the simple changes I have made to make it all mine ;)

2 minutes away from a chance encounter
Justin's bus filled with little people passengers. I am not sure when he did this, I think it was when I was taking a bath yesterday when he and I each had like 2 minutes to ourselves. It made me laugh. And the mess behind it... not as cute... but all is picked up for now and my fingers are crossed that he will not destroy his room between now and tomorrow at 10:00 am. I just love finding things like this. Justin expressing himself and playing by himself is a wonderful thing to witness.
I feel like I am blabbing in an effort to avoid the rest of the cleaning that HAS.TO.BE.DONE!!!! Guess I better get on it!

The last day of winter vacation
How about this picture for today.... a crummy cell phone picture of our spontaneous dinner of yummy fondue at Gustauv's with Jimmy, Jamie and Scott. It is back to routine, back to work, daycare, etc. for us tomorrow. It was a nice long vacation for me and I really enjoyed it - and one hand I don't want to go back to the rountine and on the other I am ready and appreciative of it.

Awwwww
Before bed each night Justin and I watch a few minutes of Food Network or TLC - just to unwind. I always have to wear my glasses to see the TV while in bed and Justin has to as well... but not because he can't see. He wants to be like me, which I love. The glasses he has on are his sunglasses with the lenses popped out. He almost always falls asleep with them on because he doesn't take them off when it is time to turn the TV and lights off. Guess he doesn't always follow along with what I do - and me thinks that is A-Okay.
