Polka-Palooza

GILT is having an amazing sale on these FATBOY/DWELLSTUDIO bean bag chairs.   I just bought a stool for Dee’s room (it matches her bedding…and her stuffed giraffe…and her toy bin….man I love these dots.)   Click to JOIN GILT and check ‘em out!

…and speaking of things with dots (thanks Ashley!)…

Dee is all packed and ready to go for her first sleepover at my parent’s house.    I’m a nervous wreck.    Scott is already planning out our entire night of awesome-ness and relaxation (it’s our 11 year kissing anniversary as you may have heard…)

This is a major event that has been weeks in the making.    Yup.   We are those parents.   Overprotective.   Crazy.   Need three weeks notice to send her to Grandma’s house.   Probably going to cry when I leave as if she won’t be sleeping in the room I grew up in down the hall from the people that raised me (and as my Dad so often likes to remind me “somehow, [I] survived.”)

*Sigh*   Wish us luck.    The thought of Dee waking up in the night without me is horrifying.   (I realize more so for me than her.)    The thought of her crying and me not being there ties my stomach up in knots.    But the thought of an entire night of uninterrupted sleep?     Priceless.     So we’re doing it.   I don’t know which will be worse – getting a call to come pick her up because she’s gone all Exorcist on them at 3am, or not getting a call and realizing that my little girl CAN in fact make it through the night without me.

Can't wait to hear how it went. Haven't spent a night without our little stinker yet....scared shitless.

I am admiring Dee's sleepover and I can completely relate to how you feel! We have yet to be without Bub's for an overnight. I can't wait to hear how it went!

Cute! I love that bag! I hope this time off from Dee lets you recharge and I hope it goes well for all of you!

The bag was shockingly useful. Perfect size for all the crap we had to send with her.

GAH! I know EXACTLY how you are feeling. My mom has offered numerous times to watch my 5 month overnight so I can get a full night of sleep but ... but ... just like you said, I feel sick at the thought of him waking up and possibly wondering where I am! To be honest, my biggest worry is that I will not be able to sleep because I am too stressed out over him being gone!

I was actually surprised how well I did - it was a much needed break - I'm gonna post about it tomorrow, but you should definitely work up the courage to do it. Well worth it - for ALL of us.

absolutely thought of you when I saw that sale this morning!

and you shouldn't post these things because it makes me desperate to get pregnant again and have a girl! lol! Anyway I just nominated you for a Sunshine Award on my blog ;)

"as if she won’t be sleeping in the room I grew up in down the hall from the people that raised me" --- I love that part. Lots of fun memories running up and down that hallway. Your parents must have had a ball.
