6 month weigh-in...

unofficial (read not the doc's office), naked, and a little late but she is most definitely bigger than Griffin was at this age.


19 lb. 8 oz.

For Nat....

Jinxed

Not really but not the blissful nights sleep of saturday night. The last two nights have been better than last week but she has been "fitful". That is the best I can describe. I personally think it is because she needs to poop all night and lo and behold each morning she does....why not just do it at 9 p.m. the night before so we can both sleep? hahaha.

In other news Griffin has been a great boy. He's been talking up a storm and listening better. I will attempt to jinx myself again and say that I think we may be coming out of what I refer to as the "1/2 year syndrome". This refers to me not liking Griffin very much on the 1/2 year (6 months old, 18 months old, 2 1/2 years old)...so far it's proven true and by the time his birthday roles around I'm in love again :)


off to work more....busy busy day.

Some sleep finally..

I know that this will jinx it for tonight or the future but I am just so excited to feel rested. P went to sleep last night at 9:30 and didn't wake until 4 a.m.!!!


Then she ate and the next time she woke me was 7 a.m.!! Now she is napping in her crib like a good little girl. I figured I would commend her "performance" with a picture :)

Here she is at almost 6 months, smiley and sitting unassisted.

Happy Mother's Day

To all mothers out there, especially the ones reading my blog (wink). I hope you have a terrific day and that your children are nice to you. love, me

Relish in the cuteness

Do they know it's saturday?

I swear my kids know it is the weekend and get up extra early because it is. tomorrow is mother's day and the only thing I've asked for is to sleep in. I just know they will decide to sleep in tomorrow as well...little buggers. I'm sooo tired and I cannot shake this headache I've had for a few days. I had some dental work done on tuesday and I'm pretty sure that is what caused it...an adjustment helped on wednesday but I had no time to go again yesterday. Uggh.

I got some gas..

in my new van! haha. gotcha, didn't I? I know we signed up for this van and I love it, I really do but it pained me very much to fill the tank this a.m. for $58!!!!!! YIKES! It must have a large tank since it was almost 18 gallons of gas but seriously that is insane. Of course I haven't filled the tank since I bought the van which was April 21st. It is May 6th so that is over 2 weeks...guess that is good.

I have often wondered if my son's incessant t.v. watching is good or bad. I think about this almost daily. Recently he has self-regulated so it hasn't bothered me quite as much. This morning I was reminded of why not only t.v. but specifically Dora the Explorer isn't so bad....We were driving along and we play this game where we "catch daddy" in the car. He is always in front of us and we drive along behind him until he goes straight and we turn. Anyhow, Griffin shouts out, "Catch daddy. He's going over the train tracks. He's going up the Hill. He's going to work." This is common in Dora, list three things to your destination. Anyhow, this continued as we 1)dropped Paisley off at "the big house" (aka her daycare) 2)went to the gas station (which was NOT the donut store as Griffin kept reminding me but is near the donut store) and 3)drop Griffin off at Elaban's (as he said, "Drop Me next? my turn?")

He's such a doll.....

I want to write more often....

but it all just seems so trivial and complaining....I wish I could get my head out of this anxiety ridden pessimistic place. Uggh!

Weekend Fun

Another busy weekend although I do feel somewhat accomplished. I worked saturday a.m. and Lee came to the office to help with some computer things. A few bugs later and he fixed a couple problems for me ;) We then did a family target run which was needed for several key items, mainly dinosaur eggs for the bathtub and diapers for Paisley...of course not sure what added up to so much because we sure did spend a lot. haha. oh well...

Today I had planned to tackle the basement. It was beginning to get out of control again and also with the growing number of clothes the kids are out growing I needed to sort by size all of them. Lee was set to tend to the chillins while I did this project. It was a long day but I managed to actually make progress on the project. Emptied some trash, mostly sorted the clothes, and finished most of the laundry for the household. It feels good to check that one off the list...

Poor lee is really suffering from allergies. He has tried everything and this is not a new things...every year in fact. He wants to rip his eyes and nose out. Uggh. We are thinking Griffin and P must also have the allergies...either that or they both have colds again. At any rate they are all pretty miserable and I"m fine. I hope I at least stay that way. I will repeat that the only thing worse than having sick kids is being sick yourself while you have sick kids or being sick yourself while both your kids and husband are sick. NO THANK YOU...

Ask...

and it will be provided. I don't mean to get all philosophical on you but this seriously happens to me more often than I like to admit, yet, I remain unable to commit to faith. Oh well..I'm working on it. Anyhow, all morning (and really all week) I've been freaking out about money. Not because we won't ever have any but because for the next week it was going to be tight...well, my mailbox listened and today was PAYDAY! thank the lord. Now I can go worry about something else, right? hahaha.
