i ate half a tin of pringles for breakfast.
my single dread is taking over leaving my hair no option other than up in a bun and i am soooo sick of it.
last night was the first time i started to lose my patience with elijah. he would not stop pinching and scratching my face and he refused to sleep. he cried in his bed and wouldnt sleep in ours. mike took him for a little while which i really appreciated. ive never really been frustrated with him. i dont know how single parents do it. mike is such a good partner.
hanukkah begins next week, im really excited about brisket and latkes!
my little bug has a scratch on his face cos his nails were too long. another thing to feel guilty about.
pictures from our trip will be here soon.

seattle here we come!!
(5 months old today. )

i am very blessed to have as much help as i do, especially from my husband. i have it pretty easy in the grand scheme of things and compared to most moms. that being said
i am longing to hear someone say
"let me take the baby for a couple of hours, you go do something on your own"

rollin with the homie

lijahs most recent accomplishment: rolling over


what have a i been up to? a question i never really know how to answer. our days feel so filled and busy but when i try to remember what ive been doing i dont really know. davi, you were absolutely right when you said that sometimes just making dinner is what i did. thats become somewhat of a big deal. especially if its a dinner thats more than just a main course. and even more so if that "main course" isnt macaroni and cheese.
every morning i watch the view -dont judge me.
every morning i read with/to elijah
almost exactly an hour and a half after we wake up he falls asleep for nap number one. this is when i eat something check email and do random things til he wakes back up.
we play and jump around the house and take goofy pictures and figure out what we should wear.
i have lunch with michael almost every day and i cherish that. its so nice in the middle of the day to see eachother.
what else do i do though? im supposed to be working on my intern hours for going back to massage school for extra classes but i dont do that nearly as much as i should. i still have 180 hours to do before we move so i can work in nashville. i am setting up a grassroots showing of the film The Business of Being Born. but right at the moment im not doing much even for that.
so in thinking about it what i have been up to is baby elijah, laundry, procrastinating cleaning, a game night here and there, working a few hours a week and i think thats about it.

what a boring post.
someday i should be better at this.
look at this face.






by far one of the best outfits i have put this poor child in. dont worry, he only went to gramma and grampas in this.
