So ready for bed!

Today at work we were listening to the radio station "92.9 The Mountain" and they announced that they were giving away tickets to see the Flaming Lips and ten other bands next weekend to caller number nine.  I picked up the phone and called TWICE and I was caller number nine!  Oh my gosh I was so excited!  I've never won anything in my life!  The only bad thing is that I thought it was here in Tucson and it's actually a two day festival in Scottsdale, right outside of Phoenix.  Also, it's on Friday and Saturday and I work both days, so we can't go.  I went to the radio station to pick them up anyway and there are two tickets for both days, so four tickets, and they were purchased (or at least printed) through TicketMaster and each ticket is $55.00!  So now I'm trying to figure out how I can try to sell them, not full price of course, but anything is better than nothing!  Heck, if I could get $50.00 total I'd be so excited!  I tried StubHub.com and you have to search for the concert through their own website search and this show isn't listed so I can't sell them through their website.  Then I tried eBay and I've been trying to upload a picture of the tickets for a whole hour and a half and it just won't upload for me.  It's the right file format and everything it just keeps saying that it's uploading.  I was thinking I might try Craigslist.  Any suggestions?

We gave Jackson his little teether/feeder thing with a pear juice ice cube, almost like a little popsicle, and he loved it!  It sure is messy though, he had pear juice all over his face, chest, tummy, legs, arms, and the blanket he was sitting on.  Then he had a bath, jumped in his jumperoo for ten minutes or so, drank a bottle, and now he's asleep.  Tonight was a lot easier than last night, and I'm hoping he won't be up to eat four times again!  He seems to be eating less and less during the day, and instead wanting to wake up in the middle of the night for his food.  In the last two days he has probably had 75% of his food in the middle of the night.  I'm wondering if it's because his teeth have been hurting him and in the middle of the night he's still pretty drowsy and isn't thinking about it as much, which makes it easier for him to calm down and eat.  I don't know, but he isn't getting good sleep and neither am I!  This morning I woke up with him for the last time at 3:30am and woke Charles up to feed him and change him.  I just wanted to get at least one solid hour of sleep before I woke up at 4:30.  I went into the guest bedroom and slept in there.  It was so quiet and dark and comfy.  It was the first time in four months that I wasn't worried about Jackson and I swear it was the most refreshing hour of sleep I have ever had in my LIFE!  I told Charles that I need to do that at least once a week, even if it's just for an hour or two.

Jackson in the bathtub with no bath seat!  Don't worry mommy's right there the whole time, but he never falls over anymore!  I'm so proud of him!  He also really likes the freedom in the bathtub, he loves the water and all his little bathtime friends!


His hair is starting to look darker and darker to me.  He still has his daddy's blue eyes, but maybe he'll have my dark hair?  We'll just have to wait and see...

  1. Do you have a board at work that you could put a little for sale note for the tickets? Or maybe Charles could do it at schol. Students are always looking for fun and a good deal. I wish I had a pear juice popsicle, it sounds really good. OOOHH a grape juice one!! yum
