Catching up, making monsters, & daydreaming about coffee
I haven't been able to drink coffee for a while. Even taking just a few sips of my wifes makes my stomach hurt sometimes now. I don't think I have an ulcer or anything. But it still causes enough discomfort that I haven't been drinking it often.
I haven't missed it a whole lot. But I sure miss it today.
Our little kid has been wide awake and ready to go by like 7 (some mornings much earlier) for a couple of weeks now. He woke up around 8-830 for the longest time and I got used to it. So I am not adapting well to the sudden much earlier change.
The early rising makes me miss coffee even more!🙄
I also think he is trying to walk. He has been letting go of things while standing to balance himself. A few days ago he was still scared to let go. And then all of a sudden he got brave and then braver and sometimes stands for a few seconds by himself now before plopping down. We get excited about it so now he does too. I just know he is going to try to take his first steps without assistance any day now...and I am TERRIFIED! I AM NOT, I REPEAT, NOT. READY. AT. ALL!...😭
(All the coffee talk made me want coffee so bad I swear my mouth watered. So I just put on a small pot of coffee. I put a little extra water in it to make it weak. And I'm gonna smother it in milk. I'm sure it's gonna taste strange and weak. But I want coffee so bad I'm willing to try it. Now to see how much I can actually drink.)
I made a trip to dollar tree, party city, and placed an order on oriental trading to start working on decorations, favors, and stuff for his birthday party.
I am up to my elbows in pipe cleaners, crazy straws, paper straws, pom poms, googly eyes, foam monster mouths and eyes, some super cute party favors, and a ton of other stuff right now experimenting with what will work and be cute and what won't. I still love the monster theme and think that it's all gonna turn out so cute.
(The. coffee. is. definitely. super. weak!🙄 I hate my stomach!)
The oriental trading order came in yesterday, a few days earlier than expected, so I was really excited about that. I need to put together one of the favor boxes and make sure everything is going to fit and see if what I imagine the finished product looking like is going to be as cute as I think it is.
The only thing I still haven't ordered is the partybell order which will include the plates, dessert plates, cups, napkins, forks, lime green tablecloths, party hats, invitations, and monster suckers.
I bought a bright red round flannel backed tablecloth from dollar tree to make a monster face on and drape it over the lime green tablecloth. I ordered 6 inch googly eyes to use for it and will use white cardstock to make the teeth.
So it should look a little like this only with a lime green base and red monster.
