Summer used to be my favorite season.  Summer meant a lot of fun times with friends were going to be had.  Summer I would spend practically every weekend drinking yummy drinks by the pool with friends, BBQing, going to the lake, laying out side for endless amounts of time sun bathing. Ahhhh, Summer!

Fast Forward a few years to present day.  I loathe Summer. I think it’s a dirty little develish whore. Summer in Sacramento can be cruel some days. With many 105 days its just too disgusting to even think about  venturing out into the world with a toddler. I tried it one day and burned MJ on his car-seat and felt like an asshole after that and really try to limit going out on those kinds of days anymore.

Summer doesn’t mean drinking my weekends away, where my biggest worry was what bathing suit I’d wear for the entire weekend or to have Pina Coladas or Margaritas- or both.

Summer, I can do with out you these days. Fall is my new favorite season. Cute denim jeans tucked into awesome boots, or dress with cardigans pulled over them with leggings peaking out underneath. Oh, and Pumpkin Spice Lattes of course.

I’m really loathing Sacramento Summer’s so much that I dream about moving to a cooler climate all the time.  Where its a nice cool 75 degrees with a few hot days peppered in. Moving would be a dream come true.  Eff you summer, and your hot disgusting ways!

My Nephew spent the night again last night.  Today he was rockin’ out on Guitar Hero and MJ decided to join in. Also? MJ is in LOVE with my nephew.  It’s way too cute. This picture makes my eyeballs hurt because it’s way too much cute for me to handle.

Sometimes I’m amazed this is my life. And usually that’s in a good way – today, not so much.

My life has been shit the past 5 days.  Milo has had something up with him that has made him have diarrhea for several days now. Read the rest of this entry…

I had an epiphany this weekend. Dads are good at breakfast. I feel like breakfast is special when “Dad” cooks it. Read the rest of this entry…

You know the down-side of having a baby that hearts their crib oh so much?

That you never get to have them sleep with you on the nights you want extra cuddles.

Or, when they aren’t feeling too good and you’d like to have them in your bed to make sure they are OK all night long.

MJ hasn’t been feeling well the past couple days. All I want is to swoop him up, and put him in bed with me so I can listen to every breath he takes, stroke the hair that lays on his forehead,  and make sure he’s just fine.  But, he won’t sleep with me.  The longest I’ve got him to stay in our bed since he was six months old is about an hour.  It makes me sad sometimes.

Sleep well little bub, and Mommy is here waiting if you need or want me. xo

A few weeks ago Mercer (after a lot of convincing) and I decided that we were going to take a vacation at the end of the year. We’ve never been on a real vacation together, and I’ve never been on one, period. Well out of the country at least. So this is a birthday trip for me -slash- little honeymoon, since we never took one after getting married. While I’m seriously excited, I also have terrible anxiety over it.

We decided on Puerto Rico. It was between there and Mexico. The drug ring/war stuff going on down there scared us so we decided not to go there like we were originally planning. Bonuses of going to Puerto Rico are: No passports required, and they are very US friendly, and uses US currency.

Now here is where my multi-faceted anxiety comes in:

• Where to stay? Do we want to stay in the main tourist area, San Juan, or do we want to venture down somewhere else like, Fajardo. We do not want to rent a car while there and heard it’s a good idea to do if you stay in Fajardo.  But, we aren’t looking to do much while there, eat, drink, beach, repeat.  The main reason I want to stay down there is because I’d like to take a day trip to Flemenco Beach. It’s supposed to be one of the best beaches in the world according to the Discovery Channel.  If we stayed in San Juan we most likely would never see Flemenco Beach and would probably end up spending less money.
• Next major anxiety?  Leaving My child for 5 days.  This is killing me. To the point where I keep contemplating the trip all together. My fears are insane. I’m insane. I fear things like an Tsunami will hit, kill us, MJ has no parents now.  Or I fear that something will happen to him and I won’t be able to get an immediate flight out of PR to get back to the states.  Last fear, that he will think we’ve abandoned him.  =(
• Then I have the added little things like finding a house sitter and some one to take care of the dog for 5 days.

So, I have a lot to figure out and get over. I’m determined not to let my anxiety win. We deserve a vacation, baby free.  We will see how it goes.  I just need to book our airfare ASAP then I will GO. I’ll have to go.

Really, How can I let myself miss out on this beach?

We spent saturday afternoon in Down/Old town Sacramento.  We strolled threw the “fabulous 40′s” and then ate at the upstairs Mexican restaurant in Old Town while we washed down a margarita or two and listened to the weirdo’s next to us talk about our little girl. Yeah, girl… Third time that’s happened. He’s not a girl but, whatever. Apparently that assumption was based on my MXMJ bag having hearts all over it, uhhh.. Read the rest of this entry…
