I'm packing multiple posts into one. So get ready. And you only get iPhone/Instagram photos. So yeah.
After Steven worked 3 all nighters, 61 hours, and commuted ~10 hours last week, he became very sick on Friday night. Saturday we went to his co-worker's daughter's birthday party. Paisley and Riley had fun, but Steven was still really sick. I made chicken noodle soup from scratch for the first time ever, and I actually ate some. [I had never eaten chicken noodle soup before.] Sunday, Steven let me sleep in even though he was still super sick. He and Paisley made me cards, which was very sweet. But the rest of the day, we let daddy rest in bed. I made dinosaur chicken nuggets, peas, and leftover wheat rolls for dinner. Some special dinner right?
While we were eating dinner, in between skype sessions with Steven's family and mine, I was telling Paisley what she needed to eat before she could be excused. "You need to eat the rest of your dinosaur chicken, your roll, and half of your peas." Then I got up to take something to the fridge. As I turned my back to the table, Paisley says, "Yes...your majesty." I whipped around to look at her, and she said "Oh! uh, sorry." It was funny. For the most part. She's been watching a lot of Alice in Wonderland lately, and she kind of said it the way Alice does to the Red Queen.
Monday morning, Paisley came in to tell us that someone [*cough cough* Riley *cough*] had spilt chocolate goldfish crackers in the family room and now there were ants everywhere! Steven got up to go start killing and cleaning them up, and I got up to go to the bathroom and set my phone on the dresser. Riley had carried off my case the day before, so I bet you can already guess where this is going. Just as I went to flush, Paisley ran in and told me, "Um, your phone is a little bit broken."
"What do you mean?"
"Um, it was just up on the dresser, and then it fell off and now it's broken."
"What?! Can you bring it to me?"
She did. And sure enough, the screen was shattered. Luckily, Steven was staying home [to rest still, but that didn't happen] and so we were able to go to the Apple Store and replace it. Thank goodness for that insurance stuff. Especially when this is the third iPhone I've had to replace in 7 or 8 months.
While we were there, Riley was walking around [he wasn't impressed with the iPad games] and some guy smacked into him, sending Riley flying to the ground and he face planted onto the cement floor that Apple always has. He busted his lip, was bleeding everywhere, and crying hysterically and the guy didn't even say sorry. I would've chewed him out had I not been more concerned about the blood dripping down Riley's chin. Luckily, Steven had just finished up with the Apple Genius guy and we were able to clean Riley up a little bit. We got some lunch, and Riley didn't eat much, because he kept feeling his swollen lip with his tongue. [Whenever I tried to take his picture with Steven's phone, he'd get really grumpy and shake his head "no." So this is the best one I got.]
So yesterday was not our day. In fact, this weekend really wasn't either, except for the wonderful party we went to. That rainbow cake was so fun. [And Paisley liked the be-anya. {pinata}.]Labels: iphone, real life
I'm not sure where my head has gone off to. I cannot remember what I did for the last few days, minus a few important things [Paisley's school uniform fittings, returning way over due library books (some of which are still missing), and looking for a lost iPhone]. I know I've eaten because my weight is the same every morning when I get up. I know my family has eaten, because they get LOUD when they don't. I know I've had 2 [but should've been 3] sleep overs with Paisley because Steven has been worked 3 nights this week, and if I sleep alone, I have more nightmares. I know we have several things to buy and mail, as well as a birthday party to attend this weekend. I think I've started reading my new Sookie book several different times, but when I open it up to the page I have marked, I can't remember what's going on. So I need to start again. I'm pretty sure I need to email a bunch of people. Sorry! I'll get to it this weekend. I have had poop and pee on my hand [at different times] today and I didn't even care after I said "ew." [Don't worry, I washed really well.] I have a pressing feeling that I'm forgetting something very important. But right now, I need a nap.
And this next week, I'm hoping to have some fun posts, instead of this jelly-brained zombie stuff.
I bought myself this cute, flirty little dress with my birthday money. I'm so happy I did! I wear it at least once a week. It's so fun to layer over different outfits and it makes me feel so coquettish! I think it's going to be one of the best and most useful pieces in my wardrobe. I can't wait to wear it during the summer! [When I bought it at the store, they actually had it in the prettiest blue color too, and I wish I would've gotten both because they've only ever had the white one online.] I've been absolutely obsessed with polka dots lately, and I feel like I'm cheating on my love of stripes, but they're just so fun! And these little polka dots are extra nice because they're flocked and super soft. Paisley loves to touch them and she's told me that when she's a mama, she's going to wear this dress. Haha! She's so cute. ^_^
I wore this when we went to Betsey Johnson last week. [Ignore my roots for the next couple posts! I'm getting them fixed soon!] The weather is still pretty unpredictable here in Maryland, and we keep sweaters in the car, just in case. Luckily, I remembered to check my weather app on my phone before we left and wore a jacket. Speaking of my jacket, I love this one. I wear it sooo much! Same with these jeans. You know, when I was first pregnant with Paisley, I was like "I will never stop wearing skinny jeans! I'm never going to wear mom jeans! I'm not going to succumb to terrible mom fashion!" Well, the part about the skinny jeans is true. It's just like the women who had their "prime" years in the 80s, and still have their hair in 80s 'dos. I started wearing skinny jeans in high school, when it was *impossible* to find them, so if someone had them, I bought 4 pairs. [No lie. It looked like I always had the same jeans on.] Then, like a year or year and half later, the skinny jean trend exploded. Which is nice just for the sake of variety. Well, after I had Paisley, obviously my stomach wasn't as awesome. I had a lot of stretch marks [when you add in Riley, I had a ton]. I also wasn't a fan of showing people my crack whenever I bent over a thousand million times while we were out to pick up sippy cups or whatever. Enter these jeans. They're "skinny skinny" jeans from Madewell. And they're the best!!! No crack issue, perfect fit. Lovey love them! [I love them even more when they're on sale.] And the best part is, I didn't succumb to terrible mom fashion. But I also don't look like a skanky teenager. So I think it's a win/win. [And now I just need them in the ankle length.]
