bedtime screw-tines - REAL TALK from the frontlines of single parent-dom

I realized now that this blog post sounds a lot more risque than it actually it. Its 8:36 here, and I've just plopped H in the tub. She will bathe, then I'll put a short movie on the Roku for her to watch while I shower. If I'm lucky, I might start a load of laundry after my shower cause clean clothes are good clothes. By then it'll be at least 9:00-9:15 and I'll turn the movie off (insert crying/wining/pleading), turn off the lights and hop into bed too. Yes, I sleep with my kid sometimes. In fact, most of the time we are co-sleepers, in a twin size bed to boot (perks of having to move home in your 20's due to the economy.) I realize she may sleep with me forever, I'm okay with it today and I live my life day by day. We will usually play Facebook games (love ya Zynga) or games on my phone til we get bored and I either call bedtime and pry the device out of her hands or she hands it off and turns over to pass out. Estimated sleeping time:10-11pm. I realize this is late, I get it. But I work 8-5 and I want to soak up my mom and h time. I wanted to post this for any momma who doesn't have a normal bedtime routine and feels like she needs to keep it a secret. Whatever works, works. I wish I had a more routiney routine cause mine feels kinda screwy, but today it works.

What's been going on...

Wow, so I officially suck a blogging. Let's see. I went to San Diego a couple weeks ago for my friend's baby shower. She held it at Tea Upon Chatsworth. I was hesitant to think that tea and some lil sammiches might fill me up, but I was stuffed with delicious food. I was supposed to go to San Francisco for a few days after, but ended up staying in San Diego. Sooo that cost me $-70 for my Virgin flight from SAN-SFO, $-198 for my AirBnB res, and $-310 to switch my flight. So one extra day in San Diego cost me...more than I want to add up right now. Whatever though, I got to spend an extra day with my buddy who's going to have a little Layla soon. On my last day in San Diego, we went to Extraordinary Desserts. I'm obsessed and craving it still. So here's my pics from my trip. Hannah requested 3 presents. I got her pink sparkly Tom's that I wanted and a crayon necklace from Urban Outfitters. She's such a hip almost 4 year old. I also got the Miette cookbook for a late birthday present. I'm excited to bake my lil heart out.

 Now it's back to reality, school, getting Hannah's carrot costume ready for a parade in two weeks, keeping with meetings and loving life.
