Exactly One Month

"Ya, I might have overcommitted a bit.........I'm more of a 6 dog person."

If you've seen Bridesmaids, you're laughing.  If you haven't, you are missing out.  And, I sound nuts.  At any rate.  It's been exactly 1 month since I posted.  Remember when I was (and hoping to keep) posting every day??  Oops.  Gonna have to shoot for once a week instead.  I was finding myself STRESSING about being sure to get something posted every day.  Kinda silly.  So weekly update it is.  If there's major events/stories we can't live without to add amongst the week, so be it :).  Not that I should make excuses, but a virus on the laptop, working lots more, and my niece being born  are the things I'm going to point a finger at for why I'm behind on everything!!

I will give a story for each week to update you over the last month soon.  Yes, I have stories.  Yes, I've been writing down.  So, no, I haven't forgotten about this blog.  Rather I chose to ignore it for a month, sorry :).  More coming soon.......I promise!!

If you shall wake.....

Me:  Okay buddy, if you wake up tonight, you need to find your bink and go back to sleep, okay?  No coming to get mommy.  I need to sleep tonight.  Got it?

CW:  (with a very seriously look, getting close to me & looking out of the top of his eyes....) I get my daddy.

Me:  No, you're not going to get daddy either.  We all need to sleep.  No getting up 3 times tonight.

CW:  I call my gammy!

Me:  You're going to call Grammy?

CW"  Ya, call my gammy.

Me:  No, you can't call Grammy if you wake up either.....she'll be sleeping.

CW:  I wakey her.

We've got a ways to go before this house sleeps all night again I'm afraid.  This too shall pass & I'll miss it someday, right :)??

This is the sight I came home to tonight....adorable.

Wonderful Evening with a wonderful Lady :)

I love this lady to pieces.  We first met when I worked at Three Eagles the year and a half before Caden was born.  She watched me grow (and grow and grow :)) throughout the pregnancy.  We have stayed friends ever since.  She moved from Nebraska City this fall and we couldn't be happier about it.  We plan on having lot's more Liz time in 2012 around the Meyer house.  Today was her birthday.  Caden and I made her a cake, some pizza, and we had ourselves a little party :).  Then her and mom and I went to a movie.  It was a Wonderful Evening with a wonderful Lady indeed :).  Happy Birthday, Liz, we love you!!

(And she suprised us with a present that night......on her birthday.....go figure!  More on that later :))

Shower for Sis.

It was lovely.  Her mother-in-law is a photographer and took tons of pics.  As soon as I get those from her I'll share.  I love my sis to pieces and simply cannot wait for this baby girl to arrive!  It isn't real to me yet that I'm going to have a niece.....in a few weeks there will be another member at the Sunday dinner!!  Glorious.

Caden helping wrap T's presents

Brrr.....warm sheets, Momma!!

I never thought of this before, but the only extreme temperature Caden has ever really felt is cold.  If something's really hot, we of course don't let him touch it.  Well anyhoo, he was helping me with laundry today, and I took his sheets out of the dryer, and they were so warm!!  You know, warm sheets, they're the best!!

Well anyhoo, he grabbed onto them and said, "Brr momma!!  Warm sheets!!"  He probably thinks brr works for warm or cold.  Never really thought about that :).  Anyway, it was adorable.  So we made a pile of the warm sheets and played in them until they were just boring 'ol room temp.  He melts my heart.  Brrr!!!

Rollin' with it..........

My son's Christmas tree may still be in his room, since he loves it so much and begs me to leave it up every time I mention taking it down.  What can it hurt??  I'm rollin' with it.......

My son may have ate McDonald's twice in the last 2 days, between Grammy spoiling him and Daddy spoiling him.  I'm rollin' with it........

I may have ate my supper on the floor in Caden's room tonight because he'd already eaten when I got home, and I couldn't resist his, "Mommy pay me??" (mommy play with me??).  So I ate on the floor while we 'played.'  Mommy guilt settin' in I guess.  I'm rollin' with it........

My house may be a disaster right now because life is frankly nuts right now.  I'm rollin' with it.......

My son may be getting up once in the night ever since the big boy bed transfer, and I am a bit lacking in sleep.  I'm rollin' with it...........

I may be an incredibly horrible procrastinator and have a ton to get done with weekend.  I'm rollin' with it......

My niece may arrive any day now.  Technically 26 days to be exact, til due date.  But who knows.  I still don't know her name.  And won't for a potentially 26 more days.  No idea when she'll arrive of course.  So anxious about Sis's delivery.  The waiting.  Wanting to make sure I have CW care arranged so I can be there for Allie and Bryan and wait on them hand and foot.  Not miss a second of it all.  It will be amazingly perfect no matter what.  In the mean time, I'll be panicking waiting for her :).  I'm rollin' with it............
