Mommy in Denial

As the weeks have flown by this new year I am discovering that suddenly - my baby- will soon be celebrating his 1st birthday. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I am not sure I am ready for such a milestone! Sure enough though - it will come & go. He is continually amazing Brian & I by his antics, brainyness (is that a word?), & his overall sweetness. No - it doesn't get much better than this.

Signing off for now -

Random Ramblings of a Wife & Mother

So- as my world would have it - my hubby is better (he had a cold) & now Nate & I are sick. Nonetheless - fullspeed ahead. I have a block party to make happen, MK parties to hostess coach & hold, a baby to help teach the joys of a sippy cup to, & a dear hubby to get a date night with. Not to mention the fact that just is just a few of the things on my to-do list. And that is not counting the millions of to-do's running around in my head orthe fact that I actucally expect myself to be supermom/superwife. No - I think I have finally given up on that ideal. No - I think more importantly I will just try to please a loving Heavenly Father & me. If I just try my best there - I think the rest will fall into place somehow & even though I am a demanding wife & inpatient mom - maybe the sweet men in my life will still love me somehow. Yes- actucally- I think they do. Wow - can any woman be more blessed than that?

Daycare Drama

Sooo- to save up some extra money for our move & school - we have decided that I will work at a nearby daycare - within walking distance. Today was my first day training & I spend a little over 4 hrs there. The work was pretty easy though a tad draining at times. However - the hard part was leaving Nate in the baby room. I knew he would not be happy & I felt outta sorts without him underfoot or demanding my attention. As much as I know he did cry I still think it was harder on me than him.

We survived however & had a joyful reunion at the end of my training.

Can life get any crazier?

Let's see - okay - so I know I have it way easier than so many others but I am going insane. A lot of it is my own dang fault but I kinda like insane since it keeps me from battling my depression. Sooooo- I am building my own businesss as a Mary Kay Independent Beauty Consultan & truly having such fun doing so, Nate just had tubes put in his ears & will be 1 soon, Brian is a workaholic some weeks it seems & getting stuff around so he can go to school this fall, we are preparing for a move near the end of the summer, & we are both busy with church callings - (we are ward missionaries & I am also on the enrichment committee).

Time for fun? What's that? We are making it a goal to have date night once a month & now we just have to make time to accomplish some other family resolutions which will help us have some more down time & quality family time!

I just love being busy - really I do!

I just love great deals

My dear friend Jennifer just hooked me up with a car seat for Nate. It is one of those high dollar suckers too- a Britax - I think that's how ya spell it! Anyhow - she needed to find a home for it. HSe was gonna give it to me but considering how those things cost over $200 & we would have had to pay at least $70 or more for a car seat I told her I had to give her something fo rit so we settled on $30 bucks! Is that awesome or what?

Jenn - if you're reading this - you rock!

So I was stressing for nothing...

Nate's surgery went off without a hitch even though I didn't go to bed till nearly 2:30 am. I am sad I didn't bring my camera. They had us put him in a cute gown with tigers that are sleepy on it. They also had cute little slipper socks for his feet.


I was practically in tears as I handed him off to the nurses. Those few measly minutes of surgery dragged on forever as we waited & I was really ancy. Brian just laughed. When they finally called us back to the recovery room & rolled him in I was near tears again. I shed a few as he fussed & I picked him up to comfort him.

He's fine though - now mom just has to recover from it all!

Still can't sleep....

But I guess I should try since I do have to be up again in just a few hours. Sigh. My brain just won't shutdown either.
