Excuse me while I fail at life.
My little man turned one on Thanksgiving, and I will let you know that I didn't even cry! I cried about it the night before.. Haha. I got him a Cozy Truck for his birthday, and I will be kindly reminding him when he is sixteen that I already bought him a truck for one of his birthdays, so he shouldn't expect another one.
My child is a strange one. So, for his birthday he had his own "smash cake", and honestly, he wasn't all that into it. Usually when he eats, he's pretty good about actually eating his food until he gets full and then everything goes FLYING. Well, with his cake he just started picking at it and nicely eating one of the pegs on top (it was shaped like a Lego), and I figured once he was bored of actually eating it he would do what he normally does and start tearing into it and throwing it everywhere. No. When he was done, he simply took of his bib, and that was that. He wasn't even that messy until he yawned and went to rub his eyes which of course led to frosting all over his face, but other than that there was a little bit on his bib and then on his hands. He never even got any on his clothes.
At the beginning of this month, as a Christmas present, my mom took me up to Salt Lake to see the musical version of Green Day's American Idiot. I had a blast. The roads up there were pretty shitty because the whole state decided to snow over a foot in a few hours, so we decided to drive up to Provo and then take the Frontrunner up to Salt Lake where we would then get on Trax and end up at the U of U where the performance was. For being UTA noobies, we did a damn fine job at getting on the right trains and getting where we meant to go. We never even got lost! It was quite the grand adventure and it was way nice to have some quality time with my mom.
Well my November goal went well, I finished all of my birthday and Christmas shopping, and I didn't let work get to me too bad. So that was good. However, I have fallen behind on my money jar because I packed everything into a box so that I could set up a new bed I bought, and yeah...I have not unpacked that box yet, so my money jar and the martian's coin jar are still packed up, because I have been finding other things to do on my few days off and that really hasn't been a priority.
So my goal for December is to unpack that damn box so I can catch back up on my jar and so I stop having to carry coins around!!! When I pay for anything in cash, I don't use any change I just use dollars, and then I have been putting all of the coins into the jar to start a savings account for the boy. So, I still haven't been spending my change, but since I have nowhere to put it, it's currently making my wallet fat and heavy.
So there is that excitement. I am planning on writing again soon, but it seems like I am either busy working or busy stressing. So we will see how it goes.
Just as a side note: Getting off work and it being between -5 and -20 degrees outside is bullshit and I kind of hate it. A lot. GRR.
Have a great rest of the week and stay warm!
