Athenos Honey Greek Yogurt, YUM!!!! I buy it at Costco for $9.99 for a pack of 12. It is so good, but you have to mix the honey in with the yogurt to make it perfect.  Jeff Lewis of Jeff Lewis Design and the hit show on Bravo, Flipping Out. I've been Jeff Lewis obsessed for a few years now. He has great decorating style and he is super hot, too bad he is gay. If I ever win the lottery, guess who is designing my house???  Skinnygirl Margarita. Thank you Bethany Frankel. I super love this stuff, I bought a bottle way back when it first came out and have been in love since. Not only is it delicious, it will get you drunk and 5 oz of this is a cool 1 point on Weight Watchers!! Woot Woot!! What are your obsessions these days? |

What Was It Like?
Davis is only 2.5 years old, but in that short time I have completely forgotten what life was like without a child.
I have no idea what it feels like to go to the bathroom alone, not rush around to get ready to go somewhere, eat a meal in silence or eat a hot meal, read a book without a 2 year old grabbing it and ripping the pages, not having to break a sweat while changing a 2 year olds clothes, not have a care in the world, sleep late, stay out late every weekend, not have a family room full of toys, not have a 2 year old pulling on my pant leg every 3 seconds while screaming MOMMY, not watch cartoons, you get the idea.
I am having one of those days today where I'm really just needing a moment for me. Every single second of my days are consumed by cartoons, playdates, toys and therapy sessions for Davis. I do get a break, one day a week I leave him at the daycare at his therapy facility for 5 hours that day, but let me tell you, those 5 hours go fast and they are typically consumed by rushing home, cleaning my house from top to bottom, doing school work and before I know it, it is time to pick Davis up.
I think I need a vacation.
Without a kid and maybe without my husband too!!
Seriously, how many of you moms would take a vacation all by yourself? Just to get away from your kids, your husband, your resposibilities as a mother and wife. Wouldn't it be grand.
A girl can dream.
Time to go change a shitty diaper.

Our Vicious Attack Dog
Maybe not so vicious, but she at least scares the kids away that are coming door to door every 5 minutes selling crap like magazines and candy bars.
I guess this means school is back in session?
I don't understand why parents allow their grade schoolers to go door to door selling things, alone. This world is a sick place and I trust nobody.
Do you let your kids do this? If your kids are not in school yet, will you let them do this?

I Pee
I pee, you pee, we all pee.
I pee A LOT!!!
I have known that I've had an excessive peeing issue for about 7 years now.
Ask anyone that knows me well, I probably go to the bathroom to pee more times in a day than you probably go in a week.
It is such an issue for me that if I am going somewhere and know that a bathroom isn't going to be readily available I'll stop drinking liquids for almost 24 hours.
Bad.
It has gradually gotten worse over the years to the point where I panic if I can't find a bathroom and to the point where I dread going places because I don't want people thinking I'm the crazy bathroom girl.
I lose sleep because of it.
I get up in the middle of the night to pee anywhere from 10-20 times.
I can pee before I leave my house, get to Target which is literally 2 minutes away, have to pee when I get there and after shopping for 20 minutes I have to pee before I leave.
It is ridiculous.
My husband has always tried to get me to tell my doctor, but I never did. I just kept dealing with it in my own way.
Recently it has gotten to the point where I'm ready to have a breakdown over the constant bathroom use, it was wearing me down.
With some encouragement from my mom and husband, I made an appointment with my family doctor a few days ago.
She said I have something called Overactive Bladder.
She prescribed me Vesicare.
Guess what?
It works.
I am having a few side effects from it like dry mouth and drowsiness, but I take it at night so I'm not drowsy all day and honestly I will gladly take these side effects if it means I'm not spending my life in a bathroom.
I can't believe how normal it has made me feel in such a short amount of time.
I only wish I'd have not been embarrassed and said something to a doctor sooner than I did.
Maybe I wouldn't have felt like my life was controlled by my frequent urination.
My doctor is still running a few tests to rule things out like diabetes, but I'm sure it isn't anything else but overactive bladder.
If you have a medical issue, don't be embarrassed like I was, talk to your doctor!!!!! I promise your not the only person he or she has seen with the issue.

We are the proud owners of a...
2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee with 19,200 miles.
It has had great owners.
Us.
While the appeal of a brand new shiny car, complete with that toxic new car smell is super appealing.
The appeal of not having a car payment is even more appealing, in 6 months the newness would have worn off and I'd probably be looking at that $300 car payment wishing I'd have just kept my Jeep with no car payment.

9333
It is no coincidence that my number obsessed, Virgo self would turn 33 on 9/3.
All divisible by 3 of course.
I have a feeling 33 is going to be a good year!
Cheers!!

New Car Confusion
I posted a while back about buying the lease out on my Jeep Grand Cherokee.
The time is here.
But I am a Virgo and Virgos are research freaks. I can't do anything until I research all options.
My poor husband is humoring me and going to look at new cars this weekend.
My top pick is a Honda Pilot.
His top picks are an Infiniti and a Land Rover.....really???
We are not the Kardashians.
If we do get something different, mark my word, it will be the Pilot. I already found it and am in love.
Of course, we will probably end up with the Jeep.
But you gotta weigh all options, right?
