All stubbed up

So I woke up feeling sick yet again. Yay me! I'm so stubbed up and want a nap with my babe. Lucky me, my sweetie is content to bounce the day away. Most moments anyway. And the bouncer keeps him in one spot. A necessity since he's become quite the explorer.

the Right Now thing

I've been seeing this on blogs of late, and since it is late I figure it's what I'll do for my entry tonight.

Right now...

Everyone else in the house is asleep. (Ahhhhh...)
I'm taking a break from putting a big order together. I need to get back to work. Or get some sleep. I should try to work a little more at least.
I'm still smiling because we were joking around with Julie & Kyle earlier tonight. We had fun. Love that.
I'm looking longingly at my empty water glass & thinking I need to go up & refill it before I get back into photoshop.
I'm humming "I Stand all Amazed" - a favorite hymn.
I'm thinking I'm not going to be of much use in PS at this point. But I need to try anyway.
I'm wondering if I should pour me some Pepsi instead.
I'm holding Elijah who stirred and then smiled up at me. Heaven.
I'm taking this sweet bundle up with me to bed. Work will continue tomorrow when I'm fully awake. Sad thing is that everyone else will be too. Distractions abound.
I'm asking anyone who reads this (um, me...) to say a little prayer that I'll actually be able to get this work done. Preferably in the next couple of days. So I can move onto some of the other stuff I need to do. There's just so much stuff.
I'm saying goodnight & turning this computer off.
Goodnight!

This Morning

Little Vern & I had a fun conversation over breakfast.

LV: "Mom, Heavenly Father needs us to eat, huh."
Me: "Yes, sweetie. We need to take care of our bodies. Our bodies need food."
LV: "But sometimes I'm in a pizza mood."
Me: "Me too, sweetie."
LV: "But pizza is food."
Me: "Yes, it is."
LV: "We should call daddy and tell him that we need him to get us pizza for dinner."

Now I'm kinda hoping that tonight will be a pizza night.

Elijah Kent

My baby turned 6 months old on the 16th of this month. Man, time flies. We were at the state fair that day, that's why they're stroller shots. I guess this can be a state fair entry too then. :)

And because I have a bazillion Elijah related entries running around in my head I'll also share some "oh boy, is this child teething!" pics here. Consolidating the cuteness. Heh. This child drools buckets and bites anything that will fit into his mouth. He does play with his toys some, but mostly he gnaws on them. This one looks particularly tasty. :)

lol

There's actually a little bit of truth in this. Made me laugh, so I thought I'd share.

Your Personality Profile

You are dependable, popular, and observant. Deep and thoughtful, you are prone to moodiness. In fact, your emotions tend to influence everything you do. You are unique, creative, and expressive.You don't mind waving your freak flag every once and a while. And lucky for you, most people find your weird ways charming!

I prefer to think of myself as a little bit of a spaz and am in no way popular, but for a 3 second test it's good for a laugh. :)

Je ne vais j'amais oublier...

My flakies!
I still just can't believe that I didn't remember these. Every time Robin, or anyone else in Canada for that matter, asks what we want them to send/bring us we list off 101 yummy chocolate bars that don't exist here. I've thought of Vachon here and there but figure things like Jos Louis and Half Moons (Lune Moons! lol) would get squished in the mail. But Robin brought Vachon stuff this time. Both Jos Louis and Half Moons. And these! They're Flakies. My goodness, how did I forget about these? They were a favorite growing up, and I drooled the minute I saw the packaging. Without even tasting them I think you'll understand the yumminess involved here. I only have one left. I'll be craving these babies from now on.

The next time someone asks what I want from Canada I know I'll be begging them to bring me a flaky. I won't be forgetting about these again. Mmmmmmm...

Having fun with Robinsky...

This is my big sister...


This is what she brought us...


This is Auntie Robin in action...

I think the kids kinda like her.

Whaddaya think?

Tomorrow is my brother's birthday. Happy birthday Aaron, wherever you are!
