sunshine mommy

Ever since Mr. Buddy babe was born in October, my body has decided it would rather just not sleep at night. I guess it decides there are more important things to do, like getting on the Internet in a dazed state to look up whatever random things pop into my sleep deprived mind. I have been awake now for 2 hours (It’s 2:19 am currently) and brain/interneting has gone a little something like this:Hmm…hubby and I want to go away for our anniversary v-day weekend. I should start looking into that.

Websighting to follow: Cincinnati destination spots, Newport on the Levee, lots and lots of hotel searching, dinner menus at various locations, calendar of events. Then I decide that maybe we can just try and make it to the beach some way some how. So I search for the nearest/warmest beach in proximity to Ohio. East Coast beaches. Those are out, too cold. The Carolinas. Could work but if were talking warm, we should do Florida. So I’m looking up plane tickets, hotels, is this a feasible idea for one weekend away? No. So back to Ohio. Well maybe we can go to Windsor. Nope, passports are needed now and I bet it’ll be dang cold up there. So maybe we’ll just stay home and get out for a night on the town. I start looking up restaurants that might be fun to try. Then I’m thinking, if we’re going to stay home, maybe I can just make a nice romantic dinner for ourselves to save money. From here, my mind steers me to some thoughts on home.

We are over 150 minutes on our cell phone bill. Hubby hasn’t told me yet but I’m guessing that is going to be one steep bill. I should look into home phones.

Websighting to follow: I’ve always wondered about that Magic Jack thing, so I do some researching. Then I’m comparing Vonage, Time Warner digital phone and At&t. I get frustrated cause this really is hubby’s department and I can’t make a decision like that right now. So I start thinking about saving on money and budgeting and taxes and how we can pay off some credit card debt.

Oh speaking of credit cards, I need to order my friend a gift card to Babies R Us since she’s due in a month.

Websighting to follow: Babies R Us, where I get caught up looking at all the little girl things on her registry and dreaming about it would be like if we had a girl in the house.

No couldn’t work. I’m kind of getting used to this all boy thing. I get boys, they are simple creatures. If I throw a girl in the mix, I’ll have to spend the next 18 years analyzing the way a girl’s brain works and that is too complicated a task for me. I have enough trouble with my own mind. Shoot..I should start doing some research on birth control options so we don’t accidentally create another baby. I would so cry if that happened. Literally ball my eyes out and ask my sister to adopt said future child.

Then I’m laughing hysterically in the darkened office with everyone around me sleeping at the thought of who knows what. Babies, husbands, sisters, family. I literally just have a laughing fit for no apparent reason but those passing thoughts all of a sudden are making me a little too giggly. Maybe I need to settle down and get some rest. Go read in my bed.

But crap, I haven’t accomplished anything. Well I ordered the Babies R Us card. And I have even more options for our weekend away. Maybe I’ll leave a note for Justin to research home phones at work and decide where we are going on vacation. Tell me what to do and I’ll book the trip.

After all of this, I started thinking this might be something fun to blog about, so I logged on here and am still giggling at these really unfunny little happenings that are comical to me. My brain is so whacky sometimes.

I’ve got 12 books piled up on my bedside table and I am dying to read until I pass out but I’m afraid I will wake my sleeping husband who has been getting very little sleep as well. (Mostly because I just start talking to him in my fully wakened state and his completely unawakened state about things that pop into my head. I carry on conversations with him like he is sitting up next to me. He just responds with the customary uhhhhhh and mmmmm and kkkkkkk’s.

 Needless to say, I do really need to get some sleep at some point in time. I usually do best from about 6 am until 9:30 or so, or whenever the kitties wake me up. Mr. Buddy comes into my bed for a bottle and cuddle time around 5:30-6:00 and he’ll fall back asleep there. Caden didn’t even wake up until 10 am yesterday and I uphold the idea that you should never ever wake a sleeping baby/toddler!!!

Until my next late night posting. Happy Friday!
