Dirty Bathroom Dreams

So I've taken an unofficial poll and it seems that only myself and my mother have "Dirty Bathroom" dreams. They are very disturbing.

In these dreams, I'm usually running around frantically to find a clean bathroom but there are none to be found. Sometimes the seats are dirty and I'll have no way to clean them, sometimes the floors are flooded, sometimes there are no doors. Other times, it just a big open room with toilets and I can't reach them because they are too high for me. And just when I find a clean stall, everyone is watching me or the door won't stay shut. I've even had a dream where I finally found a clean bathroom and there was no door and one of the neighbor kids that I grew up with was standing in a line to mail a FedEx package at a kiosk in a mall. Why the bathroom overlooks this is beyond me. Then I wake up and have to go to the bathroom.

Last night, I had a new and disturbing dream. It wasn't me looking for a clean bathroom. It was me, trying to get Lil J's diaper clean. I took off his poopy diaper but had nothing to wipe him with, then he started to pee and I had to use my clean diaper and his "blankie" to stop him from peeing on me. Then I started wiping him and it just kept getting dirtier and dirtier...all over his clothes, my close. Then I woke up.

That's a new one for me and I can't wait to ask my mom if she had those when my brother and I were little.

Where Did the Time Go

The last 2 weeks have been so busy that I can't remember what we've done. We took Lil J to his first Miami Hurricanes football game. We went with my Mom and Dad. It was hot but we won and we had fun. Lil J was imitating Big J the entire time. He'd jump up when Daddy jumped up, he sang along to C-A-N-E-S, he put up 4 fingers at the start of the 4th quarter...all very cute.

Then we had our nephews' birthday party at My Gym. Aside from a splitting headache due to no lunch, we all had a good time. Then it was off to Toronto for me. Left the house on Monday at 6:30am and worked until 7pm. Then we continued to work that way for the rest of the week. I missed the football game on Thursday night at the OB even though I was told on Wednesday that I could go home early to see it. Yeah Right! What about the 10 hours of work you still need me to do?

I got home on Friday afternoon, worked some more and got Lil J. When I went into the classroom, he cried for Daddy. So much for missing Mommy for a whole week. Saturday, Big J taught so Lil J and I went to the park and hung out. We had break-the-fast at my in-laws on Saturday night and it was nice to see all my family. Yummy Jew food too, how can you go wrong. We took Lil J to a Marlins/Mets game on Sunday and despite a little drizzle, it wasn't so bad, still sweaty but at least it wasn't in the direct South Florida sun. Big J and I had sushi for dinner and then it was off to bed, after catching up on last weeks episodes of General Hospital (my guilty pleasure). Man's greatest invention in my book is Tivo.

6th Anniversary Weekend

Friday night, my friend Alan came to visit. He stayed with us for the evening where we enjoyed dinner at El Mariachi and then hung out in the backyard smoking cigars and catching up. Lil J just adored him, giving him big hugs, knuckles and high fives.

Saturday, Alan and I walked Lil J to Dunkin Donuts because Big J was teaching. After breakfast, Alan left and Lil J and I played in the backyard in the plastic kiddie pool and with the hose. It was a beautiful morning. Later in the day, Alan came back and then Big J came home. I had to pick up H&J at the Miami Airport after their trip to Denver. The flight was delayed which worked to my advantage because I could leave Lil J at home. After finally finding a parking spot, I found them and drove them home. They came back to our house at 8pm because it was mine and Big J's 6th anniversary.

We headed over the the Melting Pot for dinner where we shared the Cheddar Cheese appetizer, salads and then the Seafood Big Night Out. We had shrimp, lobster tails, chicken, pork, veggies and pasta. For dessert, we had Dark Chocolate and Peanut Butter Fondue. Life was good.

Sunday morning we took Lil J to the park to run around the playground and kick the ball on the soccer field. He's having some trouble napping and getting to sleep at night because we had to take his Sushy (pacifier) away. The dentist said it was messing up his bite. After 3 nights of hysterics for 30-40 minutes, he actually cried for about 2 minutes on Sunday night and that was it. Hopefully, we're over the worst.

This week is Rosh Hashonah, my company IT meeting in West Palm Beach and then it's off to Toronto the next week, fun, fun fun.
