Rained out

I'm still here! I've been working a lot lately, five days a week. It has been a little difficult so I changed my schedule to just four days instead. I really need more time with Liv and Paul so I'm happy I was able to give up one of my shifts. I met up with my sister and her friends at the beach today, I was shocked that Olivia was walking around in the sand because last time she hated it. I think it helped that it was cloudy out and the sun wasn't in her eyes, she gets really annoyed when it's too sunny. Unfortunately the clouds brought on the rain and we only got to stay for an hour. We had fun while we were there though, we tried staying for a little longer to see if it would stop but it didn't let up. We left just in time too because about three minutes after we got in the car, it started to downpour. My sunroof is busted and Paul fixed it a few weeks ago but somehow it busted again so he had to come meet us to switch cars with me. It was a pretty busy day and then I had to work, it was a slow night tonight though so I got home fairly early. I feel like I haven't had time to sit down and relax in a while so I'm super content right now. I may actually get to catch up on some of my shows. Oh and I'm waiting on three different subscription boxes so new reviews will be up soon. I will try not to neglect this blog as much, I hope everyone had a great weekend!

Livy had a blast playing peekaboo with the sand sifter, walking in the sand and stealing Doritos!

Happy Birthday Paul!

Today is my lovely husbands birthday so he decided to take the day off from work. I'm really glad we got to spend all day together! We gave him his present in the morning and then my mom brought over an ice cream cake for him (his favorite). Olivia played in her pool for a while and we just hung out. We didn't do anything too exciting but I think we've both been pretty tired so relaxing at home was nice.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PAUL! WE LOVE YOU!

Sleep strike

Today was exhausting and yesterday was pretty much the same. Last night I got home from work around 1am and I couldn't wait to get some sleep but Liv had other plans. I have no idea why but she kept waking up every 20-30 minutes. At one point, she wasn't even crying, she was just talking to herself but she was wide awake. It was so weird, she barely slept last night and today she didn't want to nap but I made her. It took her an hour to fall asleep but then she slept for almost three hours. On a good note, she's been loving her little Minnie Mouse pool, she thinks splashing water is the best thing ever. It's fun to watch her in the pool but it's been ridiculously hot out so we don't stay outside for that long. I am really hoping she lets me get some sleep tonight because I have to work for the next four days in a row. I'm pretty bummed because I had today off and we were planning on bringing Olivia to see the fireworks but they got postponed because of the thunderstorms, sigh.. maybe next year.
