OMG. I AM LEAVING FOR A DISNEY CRUISE IN TWO DAYS. TWO DAYS.
EEEEK. I feel like that Disney commercial where they parents get on to their kids for not going to sleep the night before their Disney vacation. Then the parents are laying in their bed too wide awake to sleep. That’s me!
Last night I registered Lydia for the Oceaneer’s Club. Which is the most amazing children’s programming ever. I can’t wait for her to try it out! We went with her last year (when she was too young to go alone). Now she and Nora (my 4yo niece) will be able to go all by themselves. A few weeks ago, I was nervous about Lydia even wanting to go in. But now I think she’s really going to enjoy it. She has been making big strides lately about being brave.
She got her hair cut a few days ago and was a champ! If you remember her previous hair cutting experiences, you’ll know this is a miracle.
Anyway, now the next two days will be overwhelmed with packing. I’m hoping to be a little more organized this time…you know, since I will have a 6month old with me. (He turned six months 3 days ago. Can you believe that?!)
I’ve been checking out the disboards to get ready for the cruise. And wow, if you have any questions about ANYTHING, they can answer it! It’s fun–and makes me even more excited!
I still want to do a few fun things before the cruise–gather a few pirate costume pieces and make a few door magnets for our stateroom door. Asa’s got a doctor’s appointment today (he’s had the yuckiest cough lately) and when that’s done we’re going to be in full on vacation mode!
Oh, and I’ve been meaning to show you this forever. Lydia and I made this AWESOME countdown calendar. Check it out on Impress Your Kids!

in me,monday
Renee from Cutie Booty Cakes summed it up on twitter this morning…
Spring forward? I say begrudgingly move forward is more like it.
Of course, I may be a little tired from our big adventure last night. We saw…wait for it…Bibleman. Yes, a man who is dressed up like a super-hero who quotes the Bible. A little cheesy. But still every little boy left that room wishing they had a light saber and a purple and yellow cape. Oh, and every little girl, too. Yup, Lydia left with her very own Biblegirl cape and mask combo. Good thing I can’t find the cord to my camera.
We started packing Saturday. Mama and Daddy came over and we got a TON done. Every piece of furniture is empty, the living room closet and all the kitchen cabinets! So, as soon as we get those appliances in, we’ll be ready to move on up! (Jefferson’s anyone?)
I random-ed the winners for A Day With A Perfect Stranger. And uhm…promptly packed the books away (see previous paragraph). So, Dori and Wendy can you wait a week or two? (Yeah, Dori and Wendy are both my messageboard mamas. And no, Wendy does not have a blog. But if she did you’d probably never come back to mine anyway…)
I just saw another post about a blogger who went to Disney (presumably on their dime). Can I just finally get it off my chest? Good. Here goes:
HELLO DISNEY PR REPS. PICK ME.
That is all. (Still if you click over you could win one of four park hopper tickets.)
Well, I guess that’s it. I’m off to trick Lydia into playing a game that requires me to lay on the floor and sleep. Maybe Sleeping Beauty?
(don’t forget, Top Ten Tuesday tomorrow!)

I just laid the pirate down for a nap. Lydia was in her bed completely quiet. I was all ready to hop on the computer and blog about something blog-worthy. Not about naps, or breastfeeding or my lack of showers. Then Lydia decides she has to go potty. Oh, but not really. She actually just wants to get up and tear toilet paper to shreds. And when I throw her over my shoulder pick her back up to go to bed, she wants “Daaaadddyyy” and kicks her legs and screams. So, after fifteen treks to her room I’m back on the computer (listening to her whimper in her bed) and wondering what in the heck it was I was going to post about.
Speaking of wondering…in case you were wondering bloglines has gone psycho. (I’ve been wondering why I’ve had like zero comments lately…it’s because bloglines says I haven’t updated.) And apparently everyone has jumped ship to GoogleReader. But I can’t figure it out. It seems like I actually have to click through for it to mark it as “read”. Any one love GoogleReader and want to fill me in on how it works?
Speaking of stupid computer stuff, my computer went haywire and deleted EVERYTHING. Like my iphoto library (thank goodness it was backed up), my sticky notes, my passwords, my wallpaper–everything. So, now I cannot remember my username to get into my ohamanda-email. I’ve tried everything. So, I haven’t been ignoring you. And as soon as I figure out how to pick an internet lock, I’ll be responding to your comments.
Speaking of me…did anyone watch My Own Worst Enemy? How freaky was that?! I’m still a little confused though…why would they make a “normal” personality for him? I can understand why you’d make the 007-type guy for a normal person, but why the normal personality for the spy-guy? Anyway, I’m looking forward to that one. I want to figure out what’s going on.
And last but not least, speaking of well, nothing really…I just made chocolate chip cookies for myself. Lydia’s screaming session is now a distant memory.
Sorta.
