me as a road trippin' mama- been spending lots and lots of time in the car over these past weekends, especially this weekend. lots of miles overdue for an oil change. lots of iced coffees. lots of money on gas. but it's all worth it- seeing my peeps makes it all worth it.when it rains (metaphorically speaking) here in gilbertland, it sure does pour. pile on a super-sized order of nosleep onto an already gargantuan order of nosleep, and you've got one tired, saggy-boobed mama. hence the lack of blogging. spent the weekend at prewedding and wedding festivities for brian and jenn. the best part of the whole wedding was their song- "annie's song" by john denver. you know it- "you liiiiiiight up my seeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeenses!" oooh, it got us, right there where it counts. john and i (and most everyone else) were balling the second the first note hit us. and watching them dance and be so in love in front of a beautiful sunset, seriously setting right between their heads on a dancefloor perched over a lake, in a window-filled room- aaah. i told you that i love weddings. and i love the debriefing afterwards even more.
so things are pretty crazy here after the weekend of being away from my littlest milk-drinkin' boyfriend. he wasn't bad but wasn't too happy being away from his main source of nutrition. so he's having some babypaybackfun with his mama by keeping her up all night with the feedings. and this mama looks reeeeeally bad. bags under the eyes bad.
in other news, gray got her ears pierced on friday night. it's the big joke when we go to the loop and walk by claire's- we always say "hey, gray, wanna get your ears pierced?" and she's always like "NOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooooooo!" and i get all happy inside. well, the other day, i took the kiddies, and i was like "hey, gray, wanna get your ears pierced?" and she was all "yeah, sure, of course i want to." um, ok? so literally THIRTY-FREAKING-SIX dollars later (and that's with FREE EAR PIERCING, PEOPLE! FREE!)- she had her first earrings. little pink sparklies. how did i get the girlie-girl? that's what i'd like to know. but seriously, the earrings take her cuteness-factor to a dangerously high level. i didn't think she could get cuter. but she has.
i'm off to a last minute doctor's appointment (my first physical in about four years- it's been on my to-do list, i swear) and then tomorrow i have a real-life job interview. i don't want the job- i don't think. i'm not ready to leave my babes quite yet. but i'll give the interview a shot! who wouldn't want to hire a massage therapist who hasn't practiced since she graduated over a year ago and who doesn't have any real-life experience? wink wink. :)
pics to come, they are currently all snuggled up in my camera, location unknown.

Oooh, I hope you get to nap soon!
I was the same way about this job I just took, I said I'll interview but I don't really want it, and then I got it! Crap! Now I am actually feeling good about it so I think fate rules a lot of this stuff :) Good luck
Hey Nin,
Good luck in the interview. I just got offered a job today that I don't want but I am also interviewing tomorrow for a job that I DO want so perhaps we will be interviewing simultaneously. I love that. :-)
Rest up, mama.
Miss you,
Kiss you,
Emily
Good luck tomorrow on your interview! Glad you had a fabulous wedding weekend :) I hope you get some rest. Please let me know if I can help you in any way. where is the interview at?
xox,

Yeah, the scam at Claire's....but you want to make sure there's something good in your babe's ear!! My girl got her's pierced at Claire's for her 5th birthday this year.
Good luck with the job interview ~ it's good to get back in the loop of it and also, better to be in a position of not wanting it so much, than desperate.
I was getting super worried, I hadn't heard from you in days and I was going through withdrawl. Get some rest and we can catch up soon. I want to see pics of Grace and her new earrings when you get a chance too!
oooo...can't wait to hear about the job possibilities, and see grays new sparkles! good luck, even if you don't want it...you never know :)
I get the whole earring thing, my girly girl and what, but yeah, don't they look adorable in them. Khalila also was a Claire's piercing, for our wedding she got them pierced, as did Josh, and Kevon. Luckily I found out about Sally's where you can buy the pierce it yourself thing and I did J's and K's. Have fun at the job interview, I get not wanting to leave the babies, I still struggle with it. We are almost so punished as the summer is getting on. I know the girls will see each other at Jojo's wedding, but we must play before then. Much Love, HALA
"so are you like a masoose?" dude, good luck! you are a shoe in fo sho.

You always make me smile. I was missing your posts.
Glad to hear you had a fun-a-rific wedding weekend!
Can't wait to see Gray's sparkly ears! With my luck, my Ruby will be a girlie girl too.
Hugs!
Ohhh it's so hard being tired, i'm feeling for you right now. I hope you can squeaze in a rest somewhere. Hope your job interview goes well, maybe you'll end up loving it.
wow, we did the whole asking our girl if she wanted earrings for a long time, she was six when she said "yes"! i almost fell over that day. good luck with the interview :)
