He flipped the script!

The ice-him-out theory must have worked - little guy turned around! Here's hoping he stays that way...

It's going to be a very Dollar Store Christmas

In the past month or so, I have had to spend money on:

• replacing electrical wiring
• new hot water heater
• new car battery

Can I be done adulting now?

Turn around, bright eyes (no, literally)

At last check this little guy was breech. He still has time to turn, but I'm getting worried that he won't. Not that I would mind having a C-section - it's just the recovery with an infant and a toddler that has me a bit nervous. Not being able to pick either one of them up for 6 weeks?? Next to impossible. So in the meantime I've been researching ways to get him to flip. Some are fairly hilarious:

• Freeze him out. Put an icepack on the top of my stomach to force him to move away from it
• Have a party "down below" - shine a flashlight and play music to get him attracted and want to check it out (this one is my fave. thinking strobe lights and Kesha)
• Pelvic thrusts/tilts - fine, but it's not easy when your stomach is so enormous
• Draw a large directional arrow pointing down, so he might see it and head that way (kidding)

I worry that he isn't that bright if he can't figure out where the exit is, but I guess it will all work out okay. Right???

I want to quit the gym.

UPDATE: I quit DirecTV! They did not make it easy (very Friends "I want to quit the gym" episode), but I stuck to my guns and will be moving to PlayStation Vue later this month. (Of course I had to upgrade Apple TV but in the long run I think it will be worth it...)

Feeling so high-tech and also like I need to binge watch the 400 hours currently saved in my DVR.

Say what??

While I can understand most of what my daughter says, there are still several times a day when I have no idea what she's saying. And she repeats it enough that I know she is telling me SOMETHING, and when I guess (incorrectly), she sighs and says "NO." So tragic. Like this morning on the way to school she kept saying "packings coming?" ("Coming" is her word for "I want" - "mommy coming" means "I want mama") "Packings coming?" And FINALLY as we neared the school I realized she was saying PUMPKINS (they have an awesome pumpkin patch at the school). Ahhhh she wanted to see the pumpkins. Google translate needs a Toddler option.

To stream or not to stream

I am embarrassed to say I spend $180/month on cable. Which is ludicrous. So looking into streaming services, but that too is a bit overwhelming! I want Bravo, The Bachelor, MSNBC, ESPN and Hallmark Channel. Is that so much to ask? (already pay for Netflix and regular Hulu, so got those covered)

Let the researching begin!!

This is not okay

It's October 1 and I have eaten enough candy today for the entire month. Or at least for October 31. Gonna be a long month.
