Plan? What plan? We don't need no stinkin' plan!
This entry is about The Simple Life
So I've decided. I have a new goal and that is to simplify my life. Now I just need a plan of how to do that and perhaps a more well-defined goal. I think the first step may be to discontinue the baby blog, because updating 2 blogs and my alter-ego's LJ has just proven to be more annoying than it's worth. The financial goal has almost been achieved (debt-free besides mortgage & cars) and would have already been achieved if it had not been for our POS refrigerator going the way of all good POS appliances. But that will be paid off in the next few months. So now I'm ready to start on a new goal.
I have taken some steps in the past on the path to simplification, such as the Household Notebook and the Palm as the central location for all calendars and contacts. I just think I have to firm up what I actually want to achieve (other than "I need a more simple life to have more time to spend doing fun things with the Ds") I think the first step is to figure out where all my time goes. I mean, other than when I'm at work and all my time goes to Tweeting and reading email and looking up fictional characters on Wikipedia.
In other news, tomorrow at 2pm, we are heading down to Wildwood for the weekend. Hooray!! Dylan has been talking about the beach since Christmas. (And wouldn't you know, now he's started talking about Santa coming).

Playdate Etiquette
This entry is about Random Stuff
I am so not up on my playdate etiquette. Dylan had his first playdate* this past Saturday and had a really great time. We went over the other little boy's house, so now Dylan wants to have him over our house. I'm not sure how long to wait before we ask. (Dylan was ready to have him come over on Sunday). I mean, the other mom and I already said we had to do it again, but I'm not sure what is the proper time to wait so we don't seem, I don't know, overanxious and weird. God, I sound like I'm dating again. And at least with dating, figuring out how long to wait to call was the guy's problem, so I never had to worry about it. And I already feel like a tool because she sent an email saying thanks for the playdate so I was all like, "Oops, was I supposed to send a thank-you email?" Ok, I take it back. Dating came much more naturally to me. Or at least that's how I like to remember it.
So any thoughts?
And then, there are other kids in Dylan's class that I think he would like to play with, but I feel all dorky being like, "Hi, you want to set up a playdate." I love it. I'm {mumble mumble} years old, with a kid, and I'm still as completely insecure socially as I was in high school.
*since the days that "playdate" was me and another mom hanging out and an infant Dylan and the other infant lying around on a blanket, batting at things.

Bad Mojo
This entry is about That Which Does Not Amuse Me
So yesterday I went to make a hair appointment for next weekend and the salon told me that my hair guy had passed away. Which I was appropriately shocked at, considering he was young. So I was all, "Oh my God! He was so young! What happened?" Yeah... so apparently he committed suicide. OMGWTFBBQ!?
So now between that, and my OB getting cancer, and my prenatal yoga instructor's mother getting very sick so she has to quit teaching prenatal yoga (at least for now), I'm beginning to fear for the rest of the people around me.

Little Wise Guy
This entry is about The People In My Life
(Partially) reposted from the baby blog, because it's too funny and cute not to share. Says me. This is a conversation we had while getting into the car last weekend at Friday's.
Me: I know I said I wasn't going to complain about pregnancy...
Darren: I'm sensing a big "but"
Me: Ha ha - yeah - that's my big but.
Darren: Mommy's got a big ol' butt.
Me: Oh yeah!
Dylan: (what sounds to me like) Mommy has a little butt.
Me: Aww! Dylan, I think that's one of the nicest things anyone's ever said to me! Thank you for saying I have a little butt!
Dylan: I said Daddy. Daddy has a little butt.
This was very amusing to Darren.

Awesome! *boom*
This entry is about The People In My Life
I just have to share that my son is awesome. He is wearing Star Wars socks and a Star Wars bandaid today - both of which he picked for himself. Just when I thought he couldn't get any awesomer. And this makes me happy, which is good, because as any of you who read the baby blog know, I need me some happy right now.

Baby Blog
This entry is about My Blog
For those who asked for the address of the baby blog (some of you quite a while ago), here it is:
Have fun. Enjoy the whiny complaining. Oh, and the pictures. Sometimes there are pictures.

Mommy, Why Are You Still Sick?
This entry is about Stupid Medical Stuff
Yup, that's what Dylan said to me. You know you've had a bad run of it when your 3-year-old is asking you why you're still sick.
So what is it this time? Bronchitis. And because my stupid job changed their sick policy I'm at work today instead of being in bed resting like I should be. Jackasses.
Oh, PS. Happy Tax Day.

File Under: Kids Say The Darndest Things
This entry is about The People In My Life
While we were changing his diaper, Dylan informed Darren and me, "My penis is a BIG one!" In true mature parental fashion, Darren and I cracked up hysterically laughing. Shortly after we calmed down, Darren was out of the room and Dylan and I had the following conversation:
Dylan: Mommy, you have a penis?
Me: No. I don't have a penis.
Dylan: Oh. *pause* I have a BIG penis.
Me: *hysterical* (again)
Darren comes back in and, apparently having gotten a great reaction out of me, Dylan shouts to Darren, "I have a BIG PENIS!"
I can't wait for church on Sunday. We got yelled at last year for just making noise. Wait til they get a load of us now. I guess this is what I get for wanting to teach him the correct names for all his body parts.
