I bought Blue Essence colored jeans from Nordstroms (they wouldn't let me put the link here) and I love them! They were $88 which I thought wasn't too bad compared to other ones I had seen, and they fit amazing.

Husband brought home a plastic box to store clothes in but Miles took it over. Looks like husband will have to get another one.

Loving some green jeans!

I want a pair of green jeans so bad and I am so tempted to get these. I just go back and forth about whether or not colored jeans are worth the $$$.

New glasses! Very similar to my other pair but they look different to me. Best part is that I won’t get so worked up when Miles pulls these off my face and tries to throw them.

ETA: I love my annoyed look in this picture. Miles woke up right as I was taking it and I was bummed that I didn’t think to eat while he napped.

Yesterday Miles took a rare afternoon nap. He woke up crying and when I picked him up, he snuggled into me and went right back to sleep so I sat with him in the rocking chair. I was staring down at him wondering how long he would let me sit and rock with him and trying to memorize how sweet he looks in my arms when he reached his arm up and signed for me to sing twinkle twinkle little star. At first I thought he was sort of stretching in his sleep since his eyes were still closed but when I didn’t start singing, he pulled on my sweater and then signed it again. I started singing and he smiled with his eyes closed and I thought my heart would explode. We sat in the rocker for about 20 min and even though his eyes were closed the whole time and he seemed asleep, he repeatedly signed for twinkle twinkle while snuggling into me. It was sweet and perfect and I hope to remember it for the rest of my life.

Husband and I had a rare chance to go out to dinner just the two of us this weekend and it was so needed. Between working all weekend and the should we or shouldn’t we conversations we’ve been having about just about everything, we needed some time to sit and talk without being interrupted or distracted. We talked about what we want to accomplish in the next few years and how we are going to go about that and what sacrifices we were/were not willing to make to reach our goals. Then we were came home and I fell into bed exhausted at the insanely late hour of 9pm. Just another wild and crazy night around here.

My jeans from indi custom finally came and I love them. This is the second pair I ordered because the first didn’t work out but with a little help, the new ones fit perfectly. Even better, they are the only pair of jeans I own that don’t require a belt to prevent them from sliding down my backside when I sit. Totally worth the cost just for that. I now want a pair in every style and color.

(Just in case you want to order pair and would like a dicount, here is my referral code. Yes, I also get a discount but that just seems like a win win to me.)

I did some research on the test results and it looks like it’s very likely that the results aren’t indicative of anything new and are just high because of my lupus. It also looks like the result isn’t even that high so I am much less concerned now. On the other hand, I would like the specialist to help get my symptoms under control because I am pretty tired of the fatigue and joint pain but I have a feeling that won’t actually happen since they haven’t been able to do anything about it in the past.

I’m so used to feeling like crap and having all my labs be normal that I was surprised when my doctor called with an abnormal result and a referral to a specialist. I’m sure the specialist will tell me that everything is fine and that my doctor was just being cautious but it’s still not the news I wanted to start off the morning.

ETA: The specialist works Tuesday-Thursday. I’m jealous of his work week.

We had so much fun. Tumblr moms are always more fun than the moms I meet in my day to day life. Their babies are pretty darn cute, too.

I stood in the shower this morning for longer than needed because I didn’t want to get out and clean my house. My house is cluttered and in need of a vacuum and if I want to be honest, it’s been too long since I focused on the nitpicky things like wiping down the baseboards. However, the thought of having to do any of it during Miles nap was enough to make me want to hide in the shower. So it’s not getting done. I’m going to drink a mug of tea and eat breakfast and look at tumblr and work on the house a different day. I know it will still be there tonight when he goes to bed and husband is home to help so I am going to leave it for then. Being an adult doesn’t have a whole lot going for it but being able to procrastinate and not have my mom yell at me about not cleaning my room is pretty nice.

Lately I’ve been thinking about whether or not I want to have another baby. I keep getting asked when we are going to have another one and other than the fact that people shouldn’t ask that, it makes me think about our future as a family. Before I had Miles, I didn’t even consider the possibility of having an only child. Now, it is a distinct possibility.

I don’t feel like our family is incomplete even though I think it would be good for Miles to have a sibling. The part that makes me question it is that is the only reason I have for wanting another baby. I love our family of three and there are many days where I feel I am already at the full capacity of what I can handle and that adding to it wouldn’t be worth it. Part of what makes it hard for me is the idea that down the road, I’ll regret having only one and it will be too late to fix it. I also don’t know anyone who decided to have just one although I know plenty of people who had one and then failed to have a second despite wanting another. The other part of what I am stuck in ia whether or not I want to put even more stress on my relationship with husband. We rock at being parents together but we tend to put our relationship pretty low on the priority list and I worry that with two, our relationship will break and that isn’t something I’m willing to risk. I know the solution would be to stop putting our relationship so low on the list but that is easier said than done.

I know nothing has to be decided right this minute, even if that is how it feels sometimes, but I’ve been stuck on the thought for awhile. I need to stop obsessing over it for awhile and relax but that isn’t always the easiest thing for me.

We went shopping to pick up new jeans for husband and I ended up walking out with these sandals and a couple of shirts that were on clearance. Husband walked out with nothing. Oops.

I have a question for anyone familiar with rentals. My friends gave their landlord notice contingent on getting a job out of state that they were interviewing for. They did it because they knew that he was leaving in the next couple of weeks for the rest of the summer. Last night, the landlord called and said they had to let him know either way. They said they would give notice because they were fairly sure everything would work out and then today they were told that it wasn’t working out and now they are staying here but their landlord had the other guy sign a lease. They told their landlord but his basic answer is tough shit because I had someone else sign a lease so you guys are out by June 1. Is there anyway that they can stay in their apartment or are they screwed?

We’re supposed to go to Minneapolis tomorrow so, of course, we all got sick on Sunday. Not sure if we are going to go or reschedule but all I really want is to be able to breath again. I wouldn’t mind not being covered in my kid’s snot but I’d settle for being able to breath.
