Speaking of crazy busy...

Holy Blackberry Calendar, Batman!! I said I was busy and then I got busier!

• Started babysitting sweet little Jude. He is 2 months old, and just barely bigger than Jack was at birth!! He is adorable and I've loved him since I laid eyes on him at the hospital. However, I seem to have blocked out just how much work 2 month old babies are!! I am flat out exhausted by the end of each day. I love having him and wouldn't change it for the world. I have been given pause, however, regarding our own attempts at baby number two. Jack is old enough now to do a lot on his own. He gets his own snacks, goes to the bathroom by himself, entertains himself... Sometimes, he even does what I tell him to! Having another baby would mean lots of sleepless nights and many many diaper changes. Funnily enough, seeing Jude when he gets home from work has now flipped Wayne's view on the subject and he now would love to have a baby! Hahahahahaha!! I'll be watching Jude until the end of next week - otherwise, the school his mommy picked out will give away his spot. And since Wayne and I have no idea what our future holds, I don't want her to lose that.
  
• Took Jack to the dentist for the first time today. On the way there, he was soooo excited. We walked inside and he freaked out and said, "MOM! I'm scared! They're... strangers!" OMG! Seriously? Ugh! So we get into the back, he gets into the chair and the assistant who walked us back shows him all the stuff they'll be using. Then she leaves and the hygienist comes in, mask and all. Which starts the freak out all over again. We end up with me in the chair and him laying on top of me, head on my chest. After that, he did pretty darn well! He got his teeth cleaned and flossed, then the dentist came in. Jack was NOT a fan. The doctor tried to pry his mouth open... uhhh? Hello? Not so much a favored technique amongst children. Finally, I sweet talked Jack into opening up. Then, he did the panoramic x-rays and looked SO FREAKING CUTE standing there. Such a big boy. The hygienist told us to floss more often but he's got no cavities! And I got a good look at his 6 year molars forming in his x-rays. So cool!
  
• Speaking of big. The child has once again outgrown all his freaking clothes. He's now in a size 12 shoe. TWELVE!!! That's insane. I think his fall clothes will all be 5T's. He already could use a new hoodie because with all the rain the temperatures are all over the place.
  
• Wayne and I are doing well. Between babysitting and Mary Kay and playdates, I seriously haven't had the energy to do a lot around the house and Wayne has been really awesome. Helping me cook and do laundry and cleaning the kitchen. He's super stressed about the job sitch - his company has yet to release the names of the people who will be staying on in September. So he's just applying for anything and everything. His big "joke" is that he'll go work at Lowe's. Since he has all that experience in the paint department of Home Depot in Plano, Texas. Unfortunately, there are no FedEx Office corporate offices for me to work at! (Or I guess, it'd be Staples, right?)
• Speaking of Wayne... I guess I've been planning him to death lately. So next weekend, we're "doing nothing until we get bored and then we'll do something spontaneous." Hahahahaha!!! Actually sounds awesome!
• This weekend, though, I am heading to Tucson to celebrate Britt's 18th birthday with her and my bffl, Erin! (Also known as Britt's mom.) She is gonna shop til we drop. Also planning on lunch at The Cheesecake Factory and dinner at Red Lobster. Or vice versa. Then, we're staying in a hotel. More to come later!!!

So that's my life lately. Throw in a little cooking, a little jewelry making, some great friends and a whole lotta almost 4 year old attitude, and you've got the whole picture!
