Sunday down!

Good evening folks, I am so tired I may just fall over into the keyboard...so if you see something that looks something like this:

jjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjj////////////////////////////................................jjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

well, don't say I didn't warn you. I did manage to finally get enough energy to get in the shower today. Tough, I know...I ended up just sitting down and letting the water fall. I really feel THAT miserable. I should have kept count of how many times I sneezed today; if I had to make a guess, I would say somewhere around150-200. No joke!!! I did count once, and I sneezed 17 times in a row. That is insane!!!
Anyway, I had to drag myself out to get some necessities tonight. We were out of just about everything, and when I realized that Rowan was out of his meds, and I had NO cold meds for myself, well...that was enough to get me up and moving.
First, I hit Walgreen's. They had 120 count Puffs tissue on sale for 89 cents, so I decided it would be smart to go there. Also, they had Crest toothpaste 2/$3, and I had 2 $1 off coupons, so I got them for 50 cents! Yay!!!! Hey this all adds up when you are sending it overseas to the troops! Take note people, go get your toothpaste!!!
Well, then I went to Wal-Mart. My intentions were to be in and out quickly, as it was almost Rowan's bedtime. I needed the following: diapers (oh yeah, for the first time, I RAN OUT!!! I DO MEAN OUT!!!!) milk, eggs, bread, butter, cold meds. What I ended up with was much different, and my receipt looked something like this: all of the items above + bananas, pears, strawberries, yogurt, sausage, Bologna (for the dogs), mild cheddar block cheese, 2 boxes of Ritz Bits crackers (for Rowan), 5 jars of Gerber meat sticks, 2 things of tortellini (chicken, cheese), 2 12 packs of Pepsi, 24 pack of Diet Coke, and I can't recall what else. Insanity, and this is why I hate Wal-Mart!!!
I just took some Ny-Quil, and I have no idea how this will effect me tonight. I am hoping it knocks me on my butt, so long as I don't sleep so soundly that I don't hear my son when he wakes up (and notice I say WHEN, not IF, because my one year old does not sleep through the night when he is NOT sick either!!!).
At that, it is nearing 10:00, and I am going to hit the sheets. Rowan is asleep, hopefully it stays that way, and I may just happen to run across a bottle of wine on my way upstairs! Good-night!

My friend, the stork...

Why you don't leave Rowan alone, for even a SECOND!!!

This is what happens when Rowan is left alone for just a couple of seconds. He dumped out the water bowl, which you really can't see well. He then put dog food in the water bowl, and in his mouth...YUM, huh? He also nearly emptied the cabinet...again!!!

Lazy day today!

Folks, it has been a lazy day in the Lipscomb household today! We are running off zero sleep, and I must be honest...there has been no showering goin' on, little eating, and we are still in our pajamas at 3:55 PM! Lastnight was a LONG night, and I just cannot seem to get any energy up today. On top of it all, I am feeling terrible; my head feels like it quite possibly might start floating at any minute.
I did however, get to talk to Jamie today!!! :-) YAYA!!! He called this afternoon, right when Rowan went down for a nap, and then we talked on messenger for a bit. Why is it that he has the BEST timing? I was waiting all morning for my munchkin to go down for a nap, couldn't WAIT to get my head on my pillows...oh well, I got to talk to Jamie, so I won't complain too much!
So, when Rowan woke up, I was making his lunch, and noticed an odd looking bird in our backyard at the edge of the water. Our dogs were going nutty! I went out on the deck to get a closer look, and low and behold...it was a freakin' STORK! Who knew!!! I got out my camera, so I will put a picture up here in a bit. I sure hope this stork was not here to bring me any news! I sent it on it's merry little way, across the water. The neighbors have three kids, what's one more? I sure do not need any news like that right now!!! Bye-bye little storky friend, come see me in a year or two, k? Ok...

Will I get any sleep tonight???

It is 3:30 AM here, and I have been up since 12:30 AM. I finally got to bed around 10:30 and fell asleep somewhere around 11:00. Rowan woke up at 12:30 and has been awake ever since. I have tried EVERYTHING: bottle, rocking, walking up and down the hall...I changed him, put him in bed with me (as a desperate attempt). Nothing is working, and I am so freakin' tired. This is very abnormal for him, so something is wrong. Right now, I am doing the "let him cry" thing...it sucks....Please, God, help us get some sleep tonight. I am likely to pass out sitting here now.
