Wandom Wednesday: Winter Recess

1. This week I'm playing Stay at Home Mommy. I am off for a whole week thanks to all the Presidents days. My only goal this week is to make this kid laugh. He's almost giggling and by golly I want to be the one that makes him laugh first. My voice is permanently 15 octaves higher than it used to be and I've invented noises using my throat I never knew existed. Something I do is bound to be funny.

2. It was my husband's 31st birthday last week and all he wanted for his dia especial was to have a date night at Ooka. We asked my parents to babysit and of course they said yes. I felt a little guilty leaving Joaquin so soon but Mommy and Daddy time was very much needed. I was so excited to finally have time with my hubs, sushi, and some wine. Is it just me or does wine taste better when you're a mom?

 

3. My Nike Fuel Band is magic. It mocks me with it's flashing lights and reminds me to move my butt or I'll be wearing these maternity jeans for-evah. Damn, Fuel Band...why you gotta be so hurtful?

 

4. I went to the TOMS Sample Sale this past weekend and all I can say is that I wish my feet were a size 10. I went with my buddy Christine, who is in fact a size 10 and while I was only able to find 2 pairs that I actually liked, she was able to find about a million. Did I mention we stood in line for 3 and a half hours? And did I mention that classics were only $20? Why must everyone at the sample sale have a 7 1/2-8 size shoe? WHY!?

At least I scored some cute shoes for my little guy.

5. I'm facing a dilemma. A hair dilemma. Long hair vs. Short hair. I can't decide if I should grow it long or chop it off. Either way, something needs to happen NOW because I can't stand my hair. Growing your hair out is the pits and cutting it will only set me back in that process. What to do? What to do?

 

These are the many issue I face while on vacation. My zombie mommy brain is delirious.





Under the Weather

Hey guys! Hope you're having a good week. I'm very much enjoying my vacation so far. Got some cleaning done.

Kitchen: Before

After

Next on my list is the office....pray for me.

See, what had happen was.... there was a storm and it came in my house. Ok, seriously, this is half hubby's junk, half mine, and half wedding.... half plus half plus half.... whew, good thing I'm a reading teacher eh?

Yesterday I planned on making a new lasagna because Hubby didn't care for the Ragu one. I had some extra ingredients I needed to get rid of too,

BUT... funny thing happened. Hubby somehow got on the wrong train. We'll blame it on the rain. It was a real pain. But some sushi we did gain. (I taught first grade, can you tell?)

I had to pick him up and ended up not having enough time to make dinner. I craved sushi, Hubs was kind enough to oblige. AND we had one more gift card from the wedding! WHOO HOO MONEY!!

We went to Zip Sushi!

I LOVE me some Salmon! We started with a Philly roll ( Philly cream cheese, cucumber, asparagus, and salmon)

Then the baked Salmon roll (we didn't know it was same as above but just baked...we rolled with it... Pun INTENDED)



 

Then, they FINALLY remembered our Edamame.... so good and so healthy!





















Our last roll was the Garlic Roasted Yellowtail...or something.... all I know is that I didn't like it.

So I ordered a Salmon Skin roll for myself.

Happily full

Ok, so what's the "under the weather" part of this post, well Southern Cali is seeing SOOOO much rain... insane amounts of rain. We're not used to it! We don't know how to live in this weather!! So many car accidents, so many floods and mud slides, and so many Californians inappropriately dressed because most of us don't own a raincoat or boots. Sad huh?

Today it continued to pour, I continued to clean, and my cough continued to bug the ba-jebus out of me.

I also feel a bit under the weather health wise. I haven't worked out in a couple of days and I've been eating a lot since I've been on break.... sounds like a dream but eating Lasagna twice in one day really takes a toll on a person... blah. I feel sick.

The good thing is, tomorrow is a new day. I'll let this one slide Joanna.... but tomorrow... your ass is mine!

Anyone know of any good cough home remedies? I'm dying here.
