hey, big spender. make that saver.

I went to Belk's "early bird" (I'm like an old person) sale this morning at 7:00am. I was kind of debating whether or not I should go but Noah woke me up at 6:11 and I was about to get back into bed to sleep a little more (until Noah for sure woke up) but I thought to myself, "Well, I don't want to go later and have everything that I want be gone because then it would be pointless to even go at all." So then I turned the shower on and decided that I was just going to go as a greaseball in a hoodie instead so then I turned the shower back off, brushed my teeth, got dressed, wiped the excess/smudged eyeliner from beneath my eyes (because I don't wash my face at night unelss I take a shower... which I didn't = MAJOR greaseball), fed Noah, told Matt he was going to "babysit" and off I went.

So I got some pretty great gifts (at least I think so) for some family members and a ton of new clothes for Noah (he made out the best in all this). I spent $150 but... I SAVED $175. Wow... I just impress myself sometimes. I got $325 worth of merch for over 50% less. Woohoo! Sorry, I just had to ... brag a little.

Oh, how about this? When I was changing Noah's diaper this morning, he took off naked (as usual) when I finished wiping him off and he starts peeing on the carpet (pretty typical). I swiftly pick him up and take him to the potty so he could finish peeing there. Well, I've noticed lately that he likes to play with his pee stream... not the most tidy hobby I've ever seen. THEN later on I put him back on the toilet after a nap and he sat there for a good five minutes, no activity occurring. He starts trying to scoot off the seat so I take him down and go to grab a new diaper. In the meantime, he just pees on the bathroom floor. So that's two floor pees in one day... I think that might be a record. Lots of pee adventures today. I just thought I would share.

I also finally have some evidence that all of Noah's devilish behavior lately has been a direct result of... teething (molars). I SAW one today! Thank the Lord. It's about time I see some fricking progress. At least then I know that that's one less molar he has to cut. Ugh!
