So What Wednesday

It's been awhile, but why not? Linking up with Shannon for "So What Wednesday"!

So what if...

- I used to think it was weird when parents would put pictures of their kids as their FB profile picture. Like they didn't have their own identity anymore. Now that I have a kid, I get it.

- I almost stopped blogging because of this constant feeling of being watched/judged/criticized... then I figured, it makes me happy. I've been blogging since college (before I knew that's what it was called) and keeping private diaries since I was a kid. I don't plan to stop anytime soon. I love the friends I've made through the blog world, and I definitely don't want to lose them. If people don't like what I post, there's a little X readily available at the top right of their screen.

- I had a moment of weakness during a particularly rough week last week and ate half a tub of Nutella. Straight out of the carton, with a spoon. I also was embarrassed and hid it from my husband in the back of the pantry behind the bag of ground flaxseed (which I probably should used instead...). I'm not proud.

- I could never go full-on Paleo. I live in the South... butter is in e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g. I've been trying to apply the lifestyle as much as possible at home, but there's no way I'd be able to do it 24/7. Not in the land of Paula Deen and my MamMaw's cheese potato casserole. ;)

- I'm a big fat liar when it comes to limiting the amount of pictures I give clients in my photography packages. I get too excited and end up giving them more than what's listed. Maybe not a particularly smart business move, but I can't help myself. I've been lucky to have some awesome clients. Maybe if I ever get a big meanie one day, I'll stick to my guns.

- I'm kind of excited that the school year is almost over. It means no more driving Noah to therapy almost every day. He'll still be going once a week to the one we pay for. It's not like it even lasts that long. I'm just a hermit and would rather spend all day playing with my kid at home or the park or something than sitting in an office with a bunch of germy kids (seriously, we've been sick more this year than the last 4 years combined).

- I've been letting my kid go commando in our back yard almost every day lately. He doesn't like to be nakey indoors, but outdoors? He can't get those pesky swim trunks off fast enough. :) Thankfully, we have a big privacy fence, lots of sunscreen, and an umbrella.

So What Wednesday

Linking up today (tonight?) with Shannon for another addition of So What Wednesday.

So what if...

- it's only 6 o'clock and I'm already in my pj's.

- my blog header still says "summer 2012".

- my kid found the most expensive Hallmark ornament to become obsessed with, pushing the button over and over and over in the store for a solid half hour.

 
And so what if we're now actually tempted to buy it for him this year. Hey, other kids are able to tell their parents what they want. That doesn't happen for us. So instead of asking him what he wants for Christmas, we sit around and wait for him to go crazy over something.

- I have no idea what to do for my birthday next month.

- Noah just may be addicted to Starbucks. He actually took Brad's hand and led him to the standalone Starbucks at the mall, asking for some pumpkin bread. I'd be more embarrassed if it weren't so cute.

- instead of cleaning my messy house, I ran away and met a friend at the mall.

- I'm avoiding potty training like the plague. The idea of trying to potty train a nonverbal, autistic little boy overwhelms the crap outta me. I keep telling myself he just turned three, that I have plenty of time. I can only use that excuse for so long, y'know...

- I'm almost 30 and finally realizing that I don't need to hang on to every.little.thing. A little purging project is happening over here. Because I'm pretty sure we don't need 10 phone chargers for phones that we don't even own anymore. Oh wait, yes we do. We just don't use them. I think I have a hoarding problem.

SO WHAT Wednesday...

SO WHAT if...

- I count it if Noah says "ah-ter" for the first time, several times, as him talking. Even if he doesn't say it again the next day (happened last night... crossing my fingers it wasn't a fluke)

- I didn't start potty training this week, like I said I would. I forgot we were planning on making a lot of trips this week, since Brad has another weekend off (two in a row!! hollaaaa!!).

- I think it's stupid when a speech therapist tries to get my very squirmy, busy, only-into-cars-and-trucks son to feed a baby doll. As far as I'm concerned, him not wanting to feed a doll has nothing to do with his cognitive skills... it has more to do with the fact that he's totally uninterested. He'll pretend feed me, or his playdoh cookie monster. But a baby doll? Not interested.

- I clean best when I know people are coming over. The house could be trashed for days, but if I know somebody's coming? They'll think I'm freakin' Martha Stewart... floors mopped, windows washed, candles lit. I'm such a poser.

- I ate my stress away yesterday. I plan on not eating for the next two days to make up for it. Just kidding. I'm sure I can survive off of zero point food for awhile. Right?

- I'm never on time for anything. I can't help it. I get it from my momma. My dad, however, is Mr Punctual. Not sure why I didn't get that gene.

What are you SO WHAT-ing today?? :)
