Kickin' it Old School

So my mom recently purged her home of some of my belongings from childhood and off loaded them onto me. Goody. Like my own clutter isn't enough! Kidding, mom (uh, sorta). Well, in her defense she doesn't own a RECORD PLAYER any more, and we do. And until only a few weeks ago we owned a VCR! I actually directed Hubby to throw it in the trash. We are terrible at keeping stuff (junk) that seems too good to throw away but isn't really of use any more. Like a VCR. I figured no one else really wanted it either, so into the trash it went. Oh, but back to the record player, which didn't make it to the trash this time. Mom kept all these records from when I was 3, and Baby loves them! She's been listening to them for an hour now! And even singing along. These records, tho, are sorta inconvenient. They don't play very long before demanding to be turned. And there isn't a remote! Makes it a little difficult of an activity when I'm nursing Little Baby. But we make it. So, Mom, thanks for passing off your junk, uh I mean, treasures to me.

As I type Little Baby is starting up his ritual screaming/crying. I'm not gonna type much about it because it makes me very anxious. Let's just say that yesterday I had to pass him off to Hubby because I wanted to, "Squash him like a bug." If you fall into any of the categories below you won't understand:
1. Don't have children
2. Have children but they are either easy or even normal
3. Have children but it was so long ago you can't remember a thing about this dark period of time called infant

But if you are one of the "lucky" few who are in my category, you get it!

On a more positive note, Little Baby slept from midnight until 5 AM! Not too bad...

Yeah... I must confess I get it. Had to hand off Avery one time after I changed, literally six diapers in a row back to back to back. She was crying the whole way too. Had to take some personal time out on that one.
