WELL JANUARY HAPPENED.

And it hit us like a ton of bricks.

We are still climbing our way out of the rubble, right on the tail-end of the holidays, and so much work and so many appointments and several sick days with no real recovery time and weddings and trips and family and yada-yada-yada.  I feel like I haven’t had time to catch my breath!

ANYWAY, here we are.  Stevie is back in school, back in swim, back in his usual routine. Behavioral therapy is pre-tty, pre-tty rough right now with a new intervention plan, but hoping to see some results soon. After working from home on a ball-busting schedule, Paul has moved on to another show with a more normal day-to-day.  I am supposed to be in my slow season for photography, but apparently Disneyland didn’t get that memo!  So I’m trying to embrace it and just be super grateful for all the work and all the wonderful clients coming my way.

In adorable news, Stevie and Gadoo are becoming best buds.  After 5 years, they are finally warming up to each other.  Stevie MIGHT be forcing the friendship a tad.

In super fun news, my family came out last weekend.  We had a little birthday celebration for Stevie.  We took the boys to the California Science Center and even ventured into Disneyland! (Picture post coming soon, which means it was a good day).
In stinkin’ cute news, Stevie is starting to sing!  Jingle Bells was the first tune he learned.  And he belted it every day well into late January.  Now he is singing one about a bus who goes around town saying “how do you do?” and I can barely handle it.  It’s too much.  He’s even making up little songs like, “I so ‘cited, I so ‘cited wooking at cars” as he walks through the Hot Wheels section of Target.

In health news, I wrote a guest post for The Mother Effin’ Truth blog, if you get a chance to read. Yeeeeah…. I have also had a lot of cheat days.  I blame the madness and the visitors and the non-stop fun fun fun.  But that’s one thing I am LOVING about my nutrition program.  It’s so easy to get back on track.  Now if I could just find some magical motivation for my workouts!

In style news… what can I say?  Not much style happening.  When I’m super busy, it’s just minimal makeup, outfits on repeat, not even having my nails polished.  But I’ll be back. Holding strong to my slow fashion commitment, although thrifting has become my new nemesis, with nothing ever fitting right!  Hmph.

In rockin’ news, Stevie has the most awesome support system.  Thursday evening, I posted on Facebook that Friday was National Wear Red Day (to support heart health awareness).  I expected maybe 2 people to actually do it on such short notice, but I was getting tagged in photos all day!  Made us feel so loved.What else, what else?  Are you guys ready for February? You better be. It’s almost half done.
