The Life of a Sleepwalker

Many of my readers know I am a sleepwalker. It can affect my life and sometimes it doesn't. In November of 2011 (we're jumping back in time here) I ran out of my house in the middle of the night yelling help because I thought I was in the book The Stepford Wives. I had just finished the book so I dreamt the ending but with me as the main character. This was the most problematic sleepwalking. And it led to a sleep study.

Now you'll probably ask how you slept with all that? The answer is: You don't. There is goop in my hair and on my torso and I look like a robot. A super lame one at that. But there was a seascape painted on my wall which was supposed to help calm me. I also freaked the technician out. They don't actually know why you're there so when I told him sleepwalking he seemed really nervous. I guess sleepwalkers at 18 are hard to come by. Well nothing happened. I didn't sleepwalk but I did grind my teeth and we used that as a loophole to put me on sleeping medication which would keep me from sleepwalking for a very short period of time.

My first trip to IHop

This was my first trip to IHop. My family and I were staying down at the Cape Codder Resort and decided to go out into the real world for some food. There is really nothing about this trip that is exciting but they had so many different flavors of syrup!

I really wanted to get all of the bottles of syrup in this but because of Instagram's previous square-only pictures it wasn't possible. But I got some. Being Buddy the Elf's cousin makes syrup and sugar my favorite things. So I was totally in sugar high heaven.

P!NK

I saw P!nk in concert and it was a dream come true. She was fantastic. I also question why concerts are on weekdays.

This was her stage for "The Truth About Love" Tour. Looking back her stage looks obscene. Her opening act was just weird and awful but enough about them. I was super impressed by all that P!nk could do. She can sing while doing acrobatics or spinning (in circles not the exercise). At one point she was harnessed and jumping up and down the height of the stage. I can't even run out the door without getting winded. This tour was when her daughter was around one so she was in incredible shape and I'm still baffled how she doesn't puke while spinning so much because I can't even look at a carousel without getting nauseous (thanks dad).

The Liquor Bunny

At this time I worked at a small toy store in my hometown. We had lots of things for Easter, including candy. These arrived and we were all thrilled because they were so darn cute!

What a cutie! Well the packaging says that this bunny contains chocolate liquor, which when baked off has no alcoholic properties. Well my boss didn't quite read the packaging and we had some really upset parents coming in thinking we were selling liquor to kids. I promise you this did not have liquor in it but I got a free chocolate bunny because there was such an uproar among parents.

Easter of 2013

I used to be a preschool CCD (or Sunday school) teacher. The weekend before Easter was always my last class with my cherubs. I really loved those classes and always came home with funny stories. I always liked to give my students something before Christmas and before Easter so one year I decided to make them these:

They came out super cute with their little cotton tails on the back. Well me being me procrastinated until the night before my last class. No problem can bang them out quickly make them look nice, blah, blah, blah. Except I promised to go see my friend in his play that night. Oops. So I made 2 and had 6 left to go. Luckily I managed to get 8 done by class the next day. And yes, the year after I procrastinated again, but had the whole night to make them.

D1 As A Mini Monkey Man

First a foremost, look at those chubby cheeks. So meet D1. You will learn soon that there are two children related to me that have names that begin with D. D1 was born first therefore he gets a 1. I chose to watch D1 while on spring break as well. I had just returned from watching B. D1 and B are about a year apart (so if you're following I have a 2 and a 1 year old nephew.) I'm watching this little one before work one day and I needed to get ready for work. How do you handle a toddling almost two year old and get ready? Well you take a laundry basket and put pillows in it and stick the kid in there. Then you run back and forth between rooms frantically trying to get ready and making sure the kid is okay. Well D1 is fine. And you are all probably horrified now because I am a professional nanny but have no fear I know how to juggle children and many other tasks at once, as nannies often do, without putting a child in the laundry basket. This was also over two years ago as D1 will be 4 at the end of this month.
