Since having Nathan, everytime a damn J Crew catalog comes, I want to go back to work just so I can wear my work clothes and high heels again..
Since having Nathan, everytime a damn J Crew catalog comes, I want to go back to work just so I can wear my work clothes and high heels again..
The baby took a 3 hour nap and all I accomplished was waxing my lip. idiot. Im sure I’ve set myself up for a 3 day no napping streak becuase I wasted such precious time.
Worried. Nathan has a ear exam on Monday. His left ear failed his newborn screening, not always an indication of loss but we find out for sure. I will be suprised if there is anything wrong since he turns his head toward sounds, and startles easily but Im still worried…….. what if?
I woke up grumpy and feeling like a day of football and baby care was going to be a bit boring. When complaining to Mike that I had nothing “good” to do.. he actually suggested that I regrout the tub!
I did not.
What is up with hearing other peoples homes in baby monitors, still!? Cant they come up with one that wont do that? I find myself being careful of what I say -oh no, is the other end of this on? UGH!
I know…(the monitor thing)! Before Lee and I moved, we would constantly hear our neighbor on the phone. Sometimes interesting….but most of the time it wasnt. He was an avid fisherman and that is what most of his converstaions consisited of…. Since the move, I havent heard anything. What I wouldnt give to hear the neighbors that I have now. Our neighborhood is basically Wisteria Lane… sort of… ha
The red cabinet, she will be mine. AWESOME! So I tell Mike.. I also found a really great mirror that I like, and Im looking for art… “damn woman, there’s always something in the que isn’t there?”
Dude, don’t you know me at all? He does, he said it with a smile, but also reminded me one thing at a time.
I told him this is what he gets for encouraging me to get out of the house!
I went to a decorating class at PotteryBarn this morning, the teacher told me he loved my shoes.. that made me feel like I’ve still got it. What’s better than a gay man’s compliment?
Trying to decided if we should pay my old job another visit or not. I took Nate in when he was 3 weeks old and havent been back. Im torn, they did’nt treat me very well but I did make two friends, I just dont know what to do. Has too much time passed?
The baby is napping and im online reading blogs, shopping and reading celeb news and I remember how much it sucked to try and do any of this while on the “mans” watch! I do not miss surf control or email blocking! Horray for freedom. And, napping babies.

Gosh all of those pictures of myself are annoying and this is my site… you must hate them!
The boy is trying to kill me. I know he cant sleep because he is working so hard to roll over but it seems like hes got a long way to go before he gets it. I hope it happens soon!
___
okay Im have decided Im wrong about the rolling.. its the 4 month sleep regression. Whaa! Send help.
Im gonig to whisper this over here and hope the universe doesnt hear it. The sleepless nights are improving, we’ve had two in a row of 7.5 hrs. Phew!
Awesome customer service plug!
We have a little JBL ipod dock that’s stopped working correctly, the volume is stuck. I emailed them asking if there is antying I can do to “unstick” it and they are sending us a brand new one! Didnt even ask how old it is or anything. So nice!
the pictures are not annoiying at all. If you were ugly, then we would need to talk.
Dude, your my sister. If I’m ugly, you’re ugly….
How do I get my little picture up there??? I know you’d get tired of me!
I hate winter in Ohio, have I mentioned that? its 13 outside with 50 mph winds. UGH!
Im putting this here because I’m sure my Dad is tired of hearing about my boobs… OMG- People, 3 clogged ducts in one week, Im surely going to die from milk back up. ! I have been holding my left boob for an entire week. Feeding the baby is so painful right now. Im calling the Dr in the morning just to see what they think of the same duct acting up over and over.
Gotta love husbands. The day i finally excercise like I mean it he comes home with two half gallons of ice cream.
I put Nate down for his nap about 10 minutes ago, hes been blowing raspberries ever since. Im craking up listening to it in the monitor.
Still, he’d better go to sleep. I’m not used to him being able to entertain himself.
Its primary day in Ohio. My phone just rang and my caller Id read Hillary Clinton. Want her #? I already voted, it wasnt an easy choice for me. I may write about that later?
In the quest of health I didnt buy any junk food to eat this week, just good stuff. Yogurt, carrots, fruit. I may have opened a can of chocolate frosting this afternoon, and I may have eaten some on a spoon, twice. With milk.
Dont read scrapbook magazines in bed! I was so inspired I was awake for hours scheming.
I running around picking up, Nate is in his saucer and suddenly he is giggling, then I hear , lick, lick, giggle,lick.
Bruno is cleaing fresh spit up off the baby’s arm. So cute and HORRIBLY sick. Stupid pets.
Im having one of those days where you want to run away from home. The kid was up every two hours for the second night in a row and now he will not nap- or shut up for that matter. hes just going ehhhhh ehhhh wahhh blah blah blah! Im gonna loose it. 6 month growth spurt?
We just got home from a quick shopping trip- Nathan sat in the cart with the floppy seat! Not in his infant car seat, he sat upright, and loved it. Bye bye baby.
Sitting at the table having lunch, I ask.
“Hey, have you seen my watch around?”
” Yeah, I saw it somewhere”
“Thanks”
Nathan is napping so i make lunch and sit down to watch Greys. BAD IDEA- “Intestines in hand” and a turkey sandwich do not go well together. Gah, what was I thinking?
Why cant people show up when they say the will. You get a “window” and then they break it.
The guy doing the ceiling repair from the roof leak said he’d be here by 12:30. he showed up at 2! I know im just a SAHM but I still have things to do.
Nathan is coming with me to my hair appt today, at the fancy salon.. I have to admit that Im afraid they will turn their noses up at a baby in there. Why do I care, I know he will be utterly charming.
I feel like I am rocking this SAHM bidness lately. I so enjoy spending time with an 8 month old! Who knew he would be such fun company?
Oooh I love this idea! I want to ramble too!!
Carpet needed to be tacked back and trimmed. 2 guys, 40 minutes, $200. How come I constantly feel ripped off?
UGH! I just accidently spent too much at the Scrapbook Studio. I do it everytime, they dont put prices on so many things and you’ve got some stuff and its around $25, and then you’ve got some other sutff and you think, hmmm, paper, tag, sticker,, how much can this really be. Damnit if its not way more than you thought in the end. Of course I didnt put any of it back, I wanted it all! HA!
Headed to DB today. I am assuming its going to be a bit tramatic. I dont care what my Dad says dressing the top half of my body is hard. I suspect my top is an 8 and my body is a 2/4? Im thinner than I have been in years which should make me happy, but all I see is an expensive alteration bill in my future. Tammy wants us in ballet flats, good idea for grass but so boring, and at 5’3″ they are probably going to have to remove half of the dress’ length. Bahh, not looking forward.
OH WHY Must solicitors come knocking while Nathan is down for a nap? Every damn time Bruno goes nuts for a good 10 minutes running back and forth across the house, barking. Makes me so mad. It happens at least 2 times a week.
I sort of hate that you drop all this money at portrait studios and the people who work there arent even photographers. Just people taught to point shoot and use a computer. It would be nice if they had a little creativity instead of a park background and a pot of fake flowers.
My dear friend is trusting me to watch her tiny squishy 4 week old today. I cant wait to sniff his head. SQUEE!
Oh sweet Mary- I just looked at a wedding registry that had a PEDI EGG! nasty-
37 week growth spurt! AHHHHHH
Wont sleep, wont eat. Its a crankfest! Send chocolate.
Its 1 pm on Thursday, pouring rain yet someone is setting off fireworks, during the day, in the rain. Hmm, sometimes the Midwest is crazy.
Happy Anniversary and Happy 9 months!!!
Put down the chocolate and phone me back! I’m playing hooky (sp?) from work! If you put your chocolate down, I’ll put mine down. deal?
I am having a hard time keeping track of what day it is- just now I was thinking how lame I am to be reading blogs at 9pm on a Saturday- Umm, its TUESDAY.
Whats worse is it may as well be Saturday- Nates sleeping, Mike is working and Im just waiting for bedtime. LAME!!
I never answer the door during the day, always someone trying to sell me something I didnt know I always wanted.
Today I was surprised. Crouched down weeding and up came the white shirt and tie boys. While Im not intrested in what they are “selling” I’ve never talked to missionarys before. They were the nicest boys. Serisouly, I actually enjoyed our conversation which ended up leading to where they were from and how long they are in the area. – Vegas, Mexico and 24 months.
They looked so hot, I wanted to offer them a beer and air conditioning- but I didnt.
Who’d have thought?
Im going off line for a few days- every one enjoy the weekend! I hope to have good stories for you when I return.
My next door neighbors are having a new kitchen isntalled starting today- even though the dishwasher is in the front yard I am so green with envy!
“Babe, could you scoot over your hogging my side.”
“errrrrrrr”
Scoots one foot four inches to the left.
“Yeah, thanks, that’s much better.”
*sigh*
Nobody tells you that you will put your kid in a laundry hamper with a wooden spoon and a pot so you can just put the damn laundry away without him taking off and pulling a lamp down on his head.
No one tells you that you will be greatful that the stomach virus hits at 3 am once you have kids— its an hour you actually have TIME for it.
I took my glases off, about to hop in the shower when I decided to spray my khakis (my favorite pair, J. Crew capris)with some wrinkle releaser first. After spraying the front I smelled cleaner. I doused my pants with Tilex Mold and Mildew- they are destroyed! God forbid I do that with a pair form Old Navy, Nope had to be the $60 pants! UGH!
Just picked up the worlds smallest cake pan for lil’ toot’s birthday cake! It would be so cute if someone else could decorate it for me. HA!
When Nathan work up before dawn today, I rolled over and wished I could just call in sick. I am so tired. I realized that I have not been in my house alone in over a year. No one has ever taken the kid out of the house but me, I need a day where no one touches me or needs me to wipe their butt or spoon feed them. Tired.
Am overly excited for trick or treat tonight! I have candy in the bowl and the boys costume is waiting! Squeeee!
Am surprised how sore my arm is after my flu shot this afternoon. How does Nate get two in each leg in the same day and still crawl around like a crazy baby? I.Am.A.Wimp!
NOOOOOOO!!! Lipstick Jungle just got the Axe! No further episodes, loose ends everywhere. Will Joe and Vic get married? Will Wendy have her own studio? No more half naked Kirby! No more shoes and necklaces to covet.
day, ruined.
OMG….are you kidding me? I LOVE that show…
sad how sad….
Needs a “treat” for Nate that will enforce nap time! OMG he has not slept in 3 days and Im going to loose my mind.
I think its the molars coming in but I dont know.
“Treat” him with 2.5 of Motron today at nap time.
I am truly stunned by how much better this new makeup is! I got a tinted moisturizer and tossed my old cover girl wipe on cream base- worth every penny!
Go to a place like Origins or a makeup counter and tell them your issues they just may have the answers and the products you need!
Is a mixed bag – My Mom’s 50th birthday, the first anniversary of my Grandpa’s death. I really wish I were in Washington today-
2 days shy of 15 months, we have a walker!
YEAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was unloading the laundry and saw some stains on one of Nates undershirts. I asked Mike if he treated this or not. He said ” No, I didnt want to get poop on the stain stick!” I said “We have spray and wash…” “Ohhhh.”
Men.
STILLLLL laughing.
Mike asks “So, are you gonna get dressed today?” “It’s 6:30pm, that ship has sailed.”
Am busy over eating and feeling sad about Thanksgiving. The whole family (his side) is going to Hawaii for Thanksgiving but until Mike makes tenure we can’t take vacations mid semester. A 16 hour flight is too long for a 4 day weekend with a 2 year old. BOO!
Trying to get a jumpstart on CUYMH:I know that the basement/storage area must be coming up. Am in over my head. SO.MUCH,CRAP.- Abort! Abort!
Just bought out of our cell phone plans and switched to “go-phones” – holy shit that was an expensive mistake. And yet it will save us $1800! FOR PHONES! WTH?!
Im sending in our pool registraion $ today- if that isnt motivation to keep excercising and back off the junk- I am without hope.
This concludes random thoughts- as it was my “poormans twitter” – WordPress is now on board- so you can read more of my daily nonsense on the front page.
