So Luke and I slept most of today in a napping snafu that has left me still tired, but I'm sure the kiddo will not sleep when he's supposed to. I can't explain why we slept all day, but goodness it was nice.
Hubby woke us up early today when he couldn't find his shoes then his phone then something from the bank. Kiddo had a hard time falling back asleep so I fed him breakfast and he fell asleep shortly after. We didn't wake til lunch time, stayed up for an hour an a half, then fell asleep again. Didn't wake til 4:30pm.
I'm working til 3am and I hope I come home to find him asleep. I hope.

Voice Overs
Watching kids' shows can be a bit enlightening.
I love watching the show Futurama, especially with my hubby. We love the goofy social commentary and the great voice over work. Imagine my surprise when I turned on Jungle Junction and heard the voice of Phillip J. Fry coming from Ellyvan.
Side note: It's very hard to write with a cat trying to continually push her way onto your lap.
Anyways, I think it's really cool that a voice over actor can lend his voice to something like Futurama and also have fun with kiddie shows. I know this isn't exactly a revelation, but I'm tired.

Sweet Kid
I worked last night til 2:30 am. After shopping,I didn't get home til around 3:30. Hubby woke me up so he could get moving for work, but he let me go back to sleep without issue while I snuggled the kiddo.
Luke snuggled with me in the bed for a good chunk of the morning. He knew I was tired and just snuggled with me, petting my hair while I was in between awake and asleep. It's pretty cool when a 7 month old recognizes Mommy needs some rest and just deals with the boredom to let Mommy sleep a bit.
My kid's the coolest.

Christmas- A Rant
OK, I understand there are folks who do not celebrate Christmas. They have every right not to celebrate a religious holiday they aren't attached to.
That being said, leave my holiday alone.
While yes, Saternalia took place around this time and the Romans, in an attempt to convert the masses easier to Christianity made the celebration of Christ's birth around the same time. This way the pagans didn't have to give up their big party around the solstice.
This is not why we celebrate Christmas.
Yes, that's the origin of WHEN the holiday is celebrated, but not WHY. Christmas is the celebration of the birth of the Jesus, our savior. That's the meaning. Try not to get confused.

Conversation
Just letting y'all in on the conversation taking place between my son and husband right behind me:
Luke:
Hubby: "Oh I know, I'm such a mean dad. I went to Mean Dad School and they kicked me out because I was too mean."
Luke:
Hubby: "Yeah, I was too mean. They said 'You're just too mean,' and sent me to Mean Mommy School where they told me I wasn't mean enough."

Spiders
I am not a fan of bugs at all. I can tolerate them from a distance, but close up and I cry.
Last night seemed to be the night of the spiders.
Hubby and I were sitting on the bed last night, playing with Luke, when I saw a spider with super long legs start dropping from the ceiling near the end of our bed. While my hubby was fascinated with the way the spider wove her web, I was concerned about spider bites. I convinced hubby to take the creature outside.
Later, I had finished some work for Etsy orders and so I was watching My Little Pony with the lights off, so everyone could sleep. In the middle of an episode, a spider crawled up my computer screen. I tried not to freak out, but just then my headphone cord brushed up against my leg. I quickly turned the light on, found the spider (still on my computer), and scared him enough that he scurried away. I had a hard time falling asleep after that.

Sam's Club
Oh Sam's Club, you let me down.
Yesterday I went to buy baby essentials because it's much cheaper to buy baby stuff in bulk. While roaming the aisles, I found a child's plush chair shaped like a cow with brown spots which just happens to be my mother's favorite animal. Of course there were none of these awesome chairs in big people sizes so I couldn't splurge and buy Mom a Christmas present, so I guess I shouldn't be mad at Sam's Club for forcing me to save money.
Then I saw footie pajamas. ADULT footie pajamas.
Hubby has been envious of Luke's jammies since he was given them and I wanted to get some for him for Christmas. I dove into those pajamas looking for his size and found myself confused. There were no men's sizes. NONE. Only women like footie pajamas apparently. I called my mom and told her the sizes available, hoping I could find one big enough to fit hubby (Mickey Mouse and Kermit the Frog are unisex characters) and the closest I could get was a men's medium. He's an XL. Damn.
If anyone from Sam's reads this, I do love your store and love the ability to buy 200 diapers in one go. Please bring in men's footie PJs!
