weekend recap.

What a weekend.

This little dude is officially 

7 months old today.

{Crazy, huh?}

It has all gone by so fast!

And guess who slept through the whole night without nursing even once!

Did you guess Tennyson? Cause if you did, you are SO right. {smartie}

He slept until 4:00 a.m. and then woke up and was chirping a gurgling in his bed,
and I got up {in a groggy-sleepy-stupor} and started wandering into his nursery,
but then I stopped and thought better of it.

He was doing good, so why not see if he could just sing himself back to sleep?

So I did.

And he did!

He woke up at 6:45 {which was technically 7:45 courtesy of DST}

And he was happy as a clam... again!

Oh Dr. Weissbluth, 

how do I love thee? 

Let me count the ways:

1. My baby is now sleeping through the night because of your book..

and

2. Oh, well....um,  that's all.

{but believe me, that's ENOUGH!}

A Lola letter, if you will:

Dear anonymous person who commented on my couponing post and said that life is too short to be spent wasting time couponing and worrying about a year's supply of food storage,

Did you SEE what happened in Japan over the weekend?

Well, what if that happens in the U.S.?

Oh wait, experts just stated that it's not an IF, it is a WHEN.

And what do we do WHEN huge earthquakes, tsunamis, and other natural disasters happen on such a large scale and in so many different areas that there isn't NEARLY enough aid to go around?

And there is no electricity, gas, or water...

What then?

And furthermore, what if the earthquake turns some people into zombies?

Huh?

Methinks that life won't be "short" enough if one finds oneself unprepared in such a situation...

Just sayin.

As for couponing, well, yes, it CAN take a lot of time, and if I was loaded I probably wouldn't bother. But, we are normal, everyday people with normal, everyday {or even less than the average} incomes and it is HUGELY worth my while to save and even get tons of free stuff {including free medicine - woo hoo!} to stock our emergency supplies. I'm sure it's not for everyone, however, I am more than happy to "waste" my time if it benefits my little ones and loved ones in the long run.

So there.

Neener neener.

Lola

A few more Lola letters {if you'll indulge me}:

Dear Charlie Sheen,

You are clearly nuts.

It is sad.

And leave Jon Cryer the heck alone.

I recently heard that you were making a stink about the fact that he hasn't called or contacted you to see if you were okay.

Methinks that mayhaps you should just be grateful that he hasn't dropped by to flip you the bird and burn down your house, a since that is precisely what I would do if you stripped me of my livelihood in one fell swoop because you think it's more important to snort coke, shack up with "goddesses" {a.k.a homely strippers who don't nag you for being a ginormous loser and are therefore the most wonderful, goddess-like people you have ever met}and make delusional home web casts all about winning {duh}.

You are a stinker, Mr. Sheen.

A delusional little stinker.

Boo.

xo,

Lola

Dear TV executives

who canceled

"Two and a Half Men",

Yay you!!!!

Not only did Charlie Sheen need a swift kick in the pants, you also needed to stop funding THE most horribly written/acted sitcom in television history.

But DO start a new show with good writing and Jon Cryer in a starring role, yes?

I love ducky.

He is a good guy and should get a great new job.

Thanks,

Lola

Dear Hubs,

THANK YOU for:
Back tickles.
Taking out the trash all the time.
My new basement!
My newly cleaned driveway!
Being the cutest dad ever!
Being the best hubs ever!
Hanging all of our beautiful new doors!
Playing fun games with our son!
Changing diapers without me even asking!
Being the full time laundry guru!

Love all that...
{and love you even more.}
