I take 100% responsibility for The Show being on Best-Of yesterday. I am so sorry. I know we had such a cool show planned and that B-Rob and Intern Thor had worked hard on their songs for The Battle of The Cities competition. The Show will normally go on one person down.  But yesterday Costa had already requested the day off like a month in advance, so we would have been two people down.  But my friends, I had no choice. Today I feel like I have been hit by a truck. I'm not sure if it was the stomach flu or food poisoning but either way it sucked!!! Went to yoga with Ashlee on Wednesday and even though during class I felt the need to get sick, after class I felt pretty good. I went home and hung out with the family then during Lovelyn's nap time I was able to get a nap too. I woke up feeling horrible. I figured I was just overly tired and would shake it off in about 10 minutes. Not so much. This is when the fun began. I won't go into details but after I got sick the first time I thought I was good and I got the sickness out of me. I sit down to dinner with the family and eat an apple sauce as my meal, few minutes late………it gets ugly again! That is when I knew I was going to be down for the count for a little while. The whole night is miserable, getting up every hour or so. I am not that worried about it because I already know that I am not making it to work. So I figure I'll have my mom watch the baby to get her out of the house and I'll be able to rest all day. Wake up to the baby crying because she has now gotten sick all over herself and her crib. After that of course my mom wants nothing to do with my infected lab monkey family, who would? So yesterday I did the best to rest while at the same time keeping Lovelyn entertained. I guess the only good thing about her getting sick too was that she had less energy than normal. So yesterday her energy was only about 50 times mine. Now today I feel like I have pulled every single muscle in my stomach and back. I want to take some Tylenol but I'm super scared to put anything in my stomach. I am so freaking stoked today that we have such a jam packed show. With the Battle of the Cities we have both the parody songs and the stand up competition. Hopefully all that will be required of me this morning is to sit in a chair and laugh. Stay healthy everyone……..wash your hands!!!!!

Do you ever have random dreams? Dreams that to most people seem like the most boring thing ever. I was having one of those type of dreams driving into work this morning. My dream was that I could just go to a local diner, sit at the counter, eat breakfast, drink coffee and read the newspaper for a few hours. I know, most of you are probably thinking how lame that is. But right now I would kill for a few hours with nothing to do except for chill and waste time. Maybe once Lovelyn is off to college in another 16 years I can work on that dream. :)

My mom normally helps out with Lovelyn a few days a week. She'll normally watch her for a half day, which give the hubby time to do all the things around the house (mow the lawn, install a backsplash, go to the store, etc…) that he could not possibly do with Lovelyn around. Well since my Grandma got sick and passed away my mom has not been able to help out. Today is my mom's first day back in the mix and I don't think it could have come sooner for the hubby. Of course you love your children, but being with a 2 year old for 3 weeks straight around the clock can wear on anybody no matter how much you love them. Yesterday I suggested that the hubby take Lovelyn to Java Mama in Scripps Ranch to kill some time till I got off work. Lovelyn freaking loves that place. And we love that place too. Lovelyn can run around their pit of toys and outdoor play structures while we keep an eye on her and have lunch. If you have a little one and haven't been to Java Mama yet, do yourself a favor. Java Mama really saved the day for us yesterday.

I'm confused???? Isn't today February 1st??? Because yesterday I was going to my brothers place in Mira Mesa and drove by TWO different homes that had just put their Christmas tree out for garbage pick-up. Really……you kept your tree up for a full month after Christmas? I just couldn't believe it.

I just came across this when I was reading the Internet this morning. :) I'm not sure if I will actually get to watch this now that I don't have much free time. And when I do have free time for entertainment now I really like to keep it to something light and fun so I don't get all worked up. But old Sky would have been all over this. HBO just posted the trailer to their new movie "Game Change" . I guess it is based on a book about the McCain campaign in 2008. By the looks of the trailer, the character of Sarah Palin takes over the movie the same way she took over the campaign. If you are into this kind stuff then here is the link to the trailer. Julianne Moore is so freaking good!!!!

Hey everyone, it's 2012………why haven't we figured out a cure for the common cold????? I freaking hate getting sick. No one ever likes getting sick but once you are a parent it takes on a whole new meaning. When you have a young one there is no time to get sick. Last night I was miserable. I was just counting down the minutes till Lovelyn's bed time. I knew as soon as it was her time to rest then I would get my chance to finally rest. How many times can one girl play the match the animal to the word game????? When I woke up this morning my nightstand looked so ridiculous, like a mini pharmacy with used tissues all over the place. I really wanted to take a picture for my blog so you could see but I figured the hubby wouldn't enjoy a flash going off in our bedroom at 3am. Got my lemon hot tea at 7-11 this morning and brought a pack of DayQuil with me today………..fingers crossed!

This could not be more true. I fall into the first square. Which one are you? And if you are anything other than the top two squares then you need to take some time to re-evaluate you life!
