Hooray! I’m all better!!! That was a pretty rough cold.
And here’s what I get to do now that I feel better…

Don’t you wish you were me?!
Other than trying to get over that horrible cold, our Memorial Day holiday weekend was fun. We made a last minute trip to visit the in-laws. We had lots of fun. Little Monkey had lots of fun with his 10 year old uncle! It was kinda nice to have an older child to keep Little Monkey busy during the days to the point that he would pass out hard at night. We just made it back home today, so I’m off to get a good night’s sleep and continue cleaning tomorrow.

Does this explain how I am feeling? I don’t know when exactly this cold crept up. I knew I felt weird on Sunday, but then felt fine Monday and Tuesday. Wednesday I woke up and was instantly hit with all the symptoms of a head cold. Great. If you guys don’t hear from me again until next week, I hope you all have a fabulous Memorial Day weekend! Now I am going to go park myself on the couch under a blanket and hope that Little Monkey doesn’t notice.

Clearly there is an evil force out to get me…
You see I broke 3 pairs of sunglasses in this last week all within days of each other! What are the odds of that?! No I did not sit on any of them which I will admit to having done so in the past.
The fact that my last pair of sunglasses broke today so I couldn’t use them while running errands coupled with the loss of all of my back up sunglasses forced me to go in search of new sunglasses. The bright summer sun is kicking in these days and it feels like I am being tortured to drive without sunglasses.
Normally I would go to Burlington Coat Factory for sunglasses, but today I felt like giving T.J.Maxx a try.
And look what I found!!!!
Please excuse the semi-lackluster picture (from my iPhone), my digital camera accessories have wandered off and the battery is useless without a charger. Note to self: Never EVER buy a camera that requires lithium battery packs.
Franco Sarto Carlisle Satchel Black MSRP $79.99 at T.J. Maxx $34.99
Franco Sarto Sunglasses MSRP $36.45 at T.J. Maxx $9.99
Oscar de la Renta – Who knows?! According to all my searches this model does not exist, but they are still fabulous at $9.99
The look on my hubby’s face when he saw I went shopping = Priceless
Did I really need a brand new black purse? Yes and no. I have a really beautiful black leather purse with a gold chain that I won from a giveaway. I love it, but it is just too fancy for regular errand running. I have a gently used teal Lovcat tote that was handed down to me from my aunt that is in great condition, but I wanted to another color bag to be able to switch from time to time.
I’m starting to feel like a Maxxinista!
Oh and don’t worry I bought the hubby crew socks that he had been asking for and I bought Little Monkey an Activity Book that uses dry erase markers.

The other Mama…
The one that attempted to pull herself together before having a child and even with child in the womb.
I made this at abcya.com (Wordle was down, so this was the best I could do)
Any other moms out there feeling as lost as I do? I am currently reading Momover: The New Mom’s Guide to Getting It Back Together. I think when your child has reached the age of 3, I don’t think you are considered a new mom anymore. But, hey, why can’t this information be applicable to a mother who is still fairly new to the game who needs help getting it back together.
I am trying. Really. I had my hair cut and colored! That was a big step. Not that I wanted to hide all my grays. Wait, before you think I am that old. I’ve had grays since I was 18 years old. I’m not sure if it is a Puerto Rican thing, but I do know the men and women on my mom’s side seem to gray early in life. I don’t mind the grays so much when they gently danced in my hair. The grays turned on me and began to sabotage me slowly by graying in the front the most. Not good. Bye bye grays for now. I put on moisturizer, foundation, a little blush, and lip gloss. If I’ve got time a little eye shadow is fun! A step up from my moisturizer and gloss routine. And this from a self-proclaimed Sephora Lover! I love, love, love makeup but I just felt too stressed to put any effort into myself.
Also I am trying to pay attention to more beauty and fashion information because I am pretty much clueless these days.
I attended a T.J. Maxx/Marshalls Twitter Party and Wednesday night I will be attending Makeover Momma’s Makeover Madness Twitter Party.
I am still a work in progress, but I am starting to feel better about myself from the inside, so I want the outside to match as well.
