Sorry for the Delay

I feel as though time is working against me.
Case in point - i am still trying to write thank you cards from Christmas! (Thanks for the reminder S that i needed to update. I do it in my mind but it doesn't always make it online.)

It has been a busy few weeks. I reported for Jury Duty last week which was better than i expected. It has been many years since i last had to go and this was a piece of cake. We didn't get selected though and got to leave early.

Things at home are good. The little man is starting to really talk now which is so much fun. He's very clingy though which i love...99% of the time. He loves to give hugs and when he does he pats you on the back which tickles me for some reason. He also loves to say hi to absolutly everyone when we are out shopping.

The biggest change for us happens this week when i go back to work full time. I have mixed emotions about the whole thing. Since baby cakes was born i've had a mixed schedule. At first i was back 2 days a week and then 3 days and then last March when i changed companies i went back to 5 days a week but i left my house at 9 and was back by 4. Now i'll be working 45 hours or more a week. The good part of this is that hubby is going to come home by 4pm everyday and be able to spend more time with little man. And now that he's 19 months and getting older by the minute he needs more daddy time.
I think we are going to sign him up for swim lessons together in the afternoons once a week so that will be fun.
I worry about granny not being able to keep up with him as he gets older but she says she's fine so we will see.

What makes me sad is the thought that we may not have another one. And that makes me more sad that he won't have a sibling more than anything else. We'll see.

Ok so while most of you sit in snow out in the mid west it is 73 and beautiful here ;) Have a great week.....

No Resolution Thanks

No New Year's Resolutions this year thanks. At least not one's that i'm labeling that way.
The biggest one always is - get organized - i used to be organized and then during one of my many college days moves something went haywire and i lost all control over my stuff. Get married and have a kid and now we are way gone.
I find myself watching Clean Sweep, Neat and Mission Organization because they may have a good tip here and there but most of the time it just makes me feel better that someone has a bigger mess in thier room/house than me. Is that wrong?
My Granny made a good point yesterday though - how many people live in magazine clean like homes? I know a few but come on they are in the minority right. Most people where both spouses work and either have kids or maybe don't - their houses aren't immacualte all the time are they?
I'm getting a mini makeover in the laundry room soon and i'm very excited you to have more storage space.
Ok enough about all this. The question regarding a trip East... i'm hoping maybe this summer. You gals tell me when is a good time and let's make a plan! I haven't seen you both in way too long!!! Most liekly it will be just me and baby. G may come but depends how long the trip is.
Take care!!

Happy New Year!

Well we made it back from CA in one piece! It was a quick trip but great to see all the in-laws and especially T&W who took us to FairyLand in Oakland. Baby did great and had lots of fun with his cousins.
I go through this at the start of every year but i can't beleive it's 2007. Just look at that number! Yikes. I haven't made any resolutions yet but it's still the first week so there's time.
I hope you all had a safe and happy holiday.

We Wish You A Merry Christmas...

Christmas is just 7 days away! Yippee.
This is just a quick note to say hello and Merry Christmas. I'm am trying to get ourselves organized for the holiday and if baby would stop pulling the bows off everything it would be a little easier. Definelty glad we opted to not do a big real tree this year.
Have a wonderful holiday where ever you are celebrating and a very Happy New Year.

Happy December

December makes me think of snow but i haven't lived anywhere near snow since College. And even then i think it snowed like 6 times in 4 years.
We are getting ready for a short trip for the holidays and while it is a breeze compared to the big trip S is taking i'm not mentally ready for it. Maybe because it's the first time (i think ever) where i haven't been with my family for the holiday. Should be interesting.
My brother spent the weekend in jail as part of his DUI. Not fun. ever.

I hope everyone is staying warm wherever you are and i'll talk to you soon.
Oh and p.s. i may be on a travel channel tv show this weekend. Something we taped last year in december at my old job....i'll keep you posted ;)

Last Day of November

It's already going to be December tomorrow. How did that sneak up on us? I wasn't ready for it to be Thanksgivng (and M's 30th!) and i feel like tomorrow will be Christmas. Yikes!

The weather here also is trying to tell me its winter. Last week we had high 70's / Low 80's for Turkey Day and now it's in the 30's - 50's. freaky winter weather. Makes me wish we still had a fireplace.

Here we go again....

Ok so i'm trying this blog thing one more time. I was all excited about my last blog until they tried to charge me for it so let's hope this one stays free.

I've been thinking of a lot of things i'd like to post the past few weeks and now that i have an outlet i can't think of any of them.

So check back every now and again and i'll try to say something worthwhile ;)
