Gymboree Heaven…

I am not sure why I don’t go to Gymboree and shop there more often. I just got some stuff for Diego. Love it!! It is from their Aviator line. I got this outfit minus the sandals:

Which reminds me, I need to find some nice brown sandals to match all this clothes. I got him some roll up pants and a few more shirts. I need to get the matching socks. I am nutty aren’t I? 😀

I just checked his stash of summer clothes that he got last year and he has plenty of clothes. Hmmm, I have some Gymbucks so I’ll get a bit more and that is it. I hope!

Two Tragedies…

This is so sad.

Two senseless crimes have hit close to work.

One of the ladies that was killed during the Lane Bryant shooting worked here.

Now, one of the students that was killed last week at Northern Illinois was the daughter of a guy who works here.

It seems that you are not safe any more. Schools, work, malls, parks, even your own home can be dangerous. You worry about yourself, your spouses, your children, loved ones but there is only so much you can do because life will go on. *sigh*

Happy Valentine’s Day…

I hope you have a wonderful day!

We, on the other hand, are just going to hang out at home.  We really don’t need to spend any money today since we need to pay current bills and save money for our upcoming trip.  We will just spend it at home with Diego.  That makes me happy.  We will probably go out at a later date and have a nice dinner.

Gone Already…

We just got our tax refunds today.  I was shocked because I had just sent the direct deposit authorization on Monday.  But the happiness only lasted for about 30 seconds, since the refunds are long gone. 😦  Those mangy bills need to be paid.  Oh well!

Midnight Mystery…

For the last few weeks, Diego has been mysteriously showing up in our bed. We have no clue what time he gets there. That kid is stealthy in getting into our bed. Either that or I am just a really, really hard sleeper. 😛

He used to announce his arrival by saying “Good Morning Mama!!” That would wake me up and I would just take him back to his bed. But now, he just climbs in.

So last night, at around midnight, I felt something heavy on me. Usually it is Nala (our cat) who likes to sleep right next to me or in between my legs but this time I woke up and found Diego climbing in. I don’t think so and walked him back to bed.

Then at around 3 am, I felt the heaviness again. Sure enough, it was Diego again. I walked him back to his bed again.

Then when we woke up this morning around 7 ish, he was all snuggled next to me. I have no clue what time he showed up this time. 😆

He is getting good. At least now we know what time he has been arriving and now I can be on the look out. He must sleep in his own bed for all our sakes.

Eczema Update…

I haven’t posted anything for a while since nothing new has come up.  I am still itchy and scratchy.  My scalp is so dry it is not even funny.  I could probably not wash my head for a week and no one would notice.  My face, neck and hands are flaking/peeling.  Lotion helps for a bit but it doesn’t really help in the long term.  The only way I can describe how I feel is when you get a really bad sunburn and then it starts healing your skin feels like it is tightening up.  Well, that is how I feel.  At least it is bearable now. 🙂
