24 hours

I'm going to get a very short get away in a couple of weeks. About 24 hours. I had hoped for more but I guess I will take what I can get. The hubs and I will get a night away. I can't remember the last time I had a night away from the kids. I've never been away from the baby overnight but I can't remember when I was away from Squail last. It's been a really long time. I am trying to think of places to stay, things to do. I have a short list but I'm lacking ideas. I'm thinking my friend V needs to give me some ideas!

It's been baby week around here! I've had three friends have them and 2 that are due any second! I'm so excited and still get all teary eyed when I see the sweet newborns. Mostly because they don't talk back or yell at you yet. I get a lot of that from Squail lately. I know that my mom used to say that I would argue with a fence post. I'm thinking that Squail has inherited that trait from me. I'm sure she revels in that but not so much on my end.

This has been a long week and I'm ready for the weekend. This time change is still kicking my arse and at least one, if not both of my kids have been up at the crack of dawn every day. I am not a morning person and even coffee isn't helping. I need a 24 hour nap to catch up and then I think I'll be good.

Finally

I finally decided who to vote for. But I still question my choice. I am so politically stupid that it took some research on my part but my research always yielded the same results. I ranked with one person just barely higher than the other every single time. So in combo with my "gut feeling" and what I've researched I will go vote tomorrow.

I also finally watched some of the SNL skits about the election and I honestly cannot tell the difference between SP and TF. That is by far one of the best impersonations I've ever seen.

I also finally signed up for Facebook. I've literally done nothing but sign up. I didn't do a profile or really select anyone as a friend. I selected one person as a test (and you accepted :) ). I just can't imagine adding one more thing to my to do list right now like checking facebook on a regular basis but I may get around to it.

And the phone that I've been wanting finally came out. Well, it technically comes out tomorrow but I'm afraid that I will not be able to make myself pay full retail price. I'm not eligible for an upgrade FOREVER so I need to go look at it and decide if it's worth the cash. I walked away from the other shiny, beautiful phone for the cost issue but I really want one of them. My sister so kindly said she would let me have her old phone, which is a step up from mine and will accomplish what I want. I may have to take her up on it so that I can let them work out the kinks on the new phone. Well, that's at least what I'm going to tell myself when I decide that I won't spend the cash on it :)

Baby Ruth?

Ok, does this not look like the guy from Goonies? The one that likes the Baby Ruth's?:

Squail did this all on his own and he just could not understand why we were laughing so hard afterwards!

I ate my fair share of candy for sure this year. I think we came home with 10 lbs of it and most of it got sent to work with hubs. Thankfully Squail didn't even notice today that his loot was a lot smaller than when he went to bed. I'm sure I'll notice the tightening of my pants later though. Ugh.
