So last night the room started spinning. I've already been battling a cold for a week, but now I have an ear infection. Fantastic! The dr said to take Sudafed for the dizziness, but it could take a couple of doses. FX it only takes one! This sucks. I'm having to hold onto the walls so I don't fall over.
Sorry, stinybean. Be sure to stay super hydrated as well. Sudafed dries everything out and water will help you. Feel better!
H came to bed at 3:30 this morning. I looked at the clock and said "Really? 3:30?" He told me he got caught up in building a server for something related to video games. Then he said I could wake him up whenever I wanted him up and he'd just take a nap later. Pssh. I'm not letting him nap. I'd rather him just sleep in until 10:30.
O let me sleep until 6:45 and he's down for his nap. I'm about to put on proper apparel to go mow the grass and trim up bushes. It's hella hot and humid so I better get on it before it's toooo hot. I guess we'll clean the house today, too. Woo, adulthood.

DD and I are headed to a wedding shower for one of my college friends. This is the first time they've met her since they all live in Indiana. DH is having FIL come over so they can do manly house projects for the party, woo!

Happy birthday party weekend to all of the early-birthday babies! Hope you all have a blast! My mom offered to watch DD this evening so I think H and I will go out for our anniversary. I have a strong suspicion he forgot to get me a card...
Haha, you would think so, but that was my baby shower theme, and it was the theme to the party we had for family to meet A, so I'm looking for something different this time.
Thanks for the cake idea though. I have a cupcake pan shaped like a turtle and that gives me an idea for how to decorate it!
Birthday party tomorrow. Deep breaths! I got all the grocery shopping done yesterday. The only things we have left to buy are a tank of gas and the cake, when I pick it up in the morning. But I still feel like I have an entire world to put together. DH has the yard cleaned up nicely but the patio is kind of a mess and I'm having trouble envisioning it coming together.
Other than that my plan is to try to chill and breathe and get to the gym for an hour later today to blow off steam. And not cry because... birthday?!?
Also, note to self: I will never again do this party over the holiday weekend because the grocery store was a special level of hell type madness and crowded yesterday. Holy crap! I didn't plan for that on top of the usual party planning stress. It's a wonder I didn't drink all the booze I bought when I got home.
L had the worst night she's had for months, so we did too. I had about three hours' sleep in total. Today has been low key out of necessity, but it's been a nice day.
It's about eight days since her first five teeth came through over the course of about six days, and her face has been practicality fluorescent since yesterday evening. I didn't think she could possibly have more teeth coming through already, but maybe she's trying to catch up with all the babies who started early. Who knows.
So we (I) officially settled on a birthday party theme today. I'm thinking puppies. J loves dogs so much and her favorite stuffed animal is a dog. My sister is making the cake for us. I wasn't going to do favors, because it's just family. But now I'm thinking of maybe doing chocolate dogs or dog bones. What do you all think?

stinybean, We did a puppy theme for DD1's 2nd birthday and it was awesome! We found little stuffed puppies, put them in a box and set up and "adoption centre" for favours. The kids loved them and 2 of them still bring their puppies to bed every night.
I'm attempting my first ever tiered cake for DD's birthday next weekend. I was just going to make a simpler layer cake and borrowed a set of my mom's cake pans and there was a few different circle sizes, so I changed my mind today when I started baking. She gave me her tricks of the trade so wish me luck! They are in the oven! (Yes it's a box mix, I'm not getting TOO crazy with my first try at something more than a normal cake right now lol!) Also made today so I can freeze it and ice it better next weekend (also with my mom's icing recipe that I used for DS's first bday with rave reviews!)

We had "puppy dog tails" at LBB's first birthday - just pretzel rods dipped in chocolate.

I just went out on an errand run for the birthday party, and ended up at a lingerie store. Spent $200 on myself! This has literally never happened. Fuck all of those target bras that don't fit me. I'm going to burn them.
