My little "Chewy"

Ever since Callum was tiny he has been a "high maintenance" baby. Even with his fussy temperament we have loved every inch of this little man. He will be all peaches and cream until something doesn't go his way and then he begins to whine and moan in a way that sounds a lot like this guy:


Exhibit A: (use your imagination ;)



With a move to a full-size crib, medication to help keep him "regular", and the breakthrough of 2 teeth we have seen a lot more of this:



I am "knocking on wood" as I type hoping that maybe we have outgrown some of his Chewbaca wailing. Hold your breath with me and I'll keep you posted!

Crazy??


My mind ---- seriously I think I've lost it... probably never had much of it to begin with, but what is left is certainly gone. My Family is coming out for a short visit with one request -Tickets to the Christmas Spectacular at Radio City. I dutifully purchased tickets for all 6 of us back in October in anticipation.

This week is packed with random events in addition to the upcoming visit and so I was carefully planning it all out on Sunday. As I attempted to print our tickets I realized they were for December 18th NOT December 4th and then I promptly panicked. I spent a full day leaving messages at "guest relations", e-mailing, and attempting to make contact with Radio City. I just needed to know if a swap was even possible before I ran out and sold our tickets to the highest bidder and purchased new ones for the 4th. No Response - really. By this morning I was a little worried. I still hadn't heard a thing in response to my many messages...After a minor (or major) meltdown and lots more phone calls I had secured new tickets on the correct day and time - WHEW!


Why the breakdown? I don't know...it really wasn't that much of a problem. I knew all that in my mind, but just couldn't pull myself together. You know the straw that broke the camel's back, but I'm pretty sure that makes me the camel. I think I need help...preferably the kind that comes with an airline ticket to a tropical location, massage, and a babysitter.
