sleep

Si and I have been up for over an hour... I've tried to lay him back down once and he was back wide awake within minutes of me walking out of his room.

I miss sleep...

Growing up

my baby girl is going to be 10 years old on sunday...

sometimes it feels like it was only a few months ago that i held her like a little baby...

and other times it feels like a lifetime since i have held her like that...

i am so very proud of my daughter. she is growing up to be someone i am proud to say that i know and had a hand in raising.

people tell her all the time how pretty she is. and i am glad that she is pretty. but i asked her, what's more important than being pretty, janie?

her answer?

"being a good person, momma. and being nice. and being smart."

that's my girl... :)

roll tide rant

i am sick of Alabama fans. 

their smug attitude.

their elitist arrogance.

and for what reason??

most of the ones that i know didn't even attend (much less graduate from) the university of Alabama.
here is a quote from an Alabama fan (speaking about Auburn fans) that I know barely graduated from high school:

"they're the white trash next door neighbors who think they're as good as you & well they're just not."

this is what i think of the whole situation... they are acting like spoiled children. the kind who have never been told no and have never been disciplined before. the kind that throw tantrums in the middle of the floor in crowded stores and no one ever does anything to correct their behavior.

now that they have been knocked from their pedestal (and they may very well be placed back up on top of it and that is fine) they don't know how to react and are lashing out at people who don't deserve it.

white trash... if she wants to see white trash, i can SHOW her white trash... all i'd need to do is place her in front of a mirror.

Christmas 2013

No matter what kind of day I've had, no matter how long and tiring it has been, or how frustrating, when I hold this beautiful baby boy at night and rock him to sleep, I feel whole.

Merry Christmas :)

Sick

Si is sick :( he has a horrible stuffy nose and cough. he slept most of the day yesterday and it took much longer than normal for him to take a bottle because he can't breathe through his nose very easily...

so today instead of going to daycare, Jason took him to Mrs Suzanne.

and tomorrow he has a doctor's appointment for this 4 month shots...

poor baby...

 

No D90

I went back to work last Monday and Si started daycare with Mrs D. It took me a few days to get back into routine and to get over the astounding tiredness I felt every day from getting up with Si every night for his feeding. But I think I'm getting the hang of it. He had a rough night the Sunday night before I went to work on that first Monday, getting up every 2 to 3 hours, but since then he has eased back into his routine of getting up once during the night. 

I think he knew something was up and that's why he kept getting up that night...

It is an awesome feeling to know that Si is absolutely taken care of while I'm at work. Mrs D is so good to my Si :)

Janie had her choral concert tonight and Chris was able to come to it. My parents also attended. I took a couple of pics of Janie with her daddy but I didn't even use my D90. That's probably the first school function I've attended that I haven't taken my camera to. It was as odd feeling. 

I'm rocking Si to sleep. He didn't take much of his last bottle (it took an hour just to get an ounce and a half in him) and he kept falling asleep. I hope he sleeps well tonight...

Si is 4 months old today!!

It's hard to believe he is already this old... he is such a beautiful baby. I can hold him and stare at his precious face for hours... 

:D

Good one

Tomorrow I go back to work. I haven't been at work in over 6 months.

Tomorrow will be Si's first day at daycare. 

I pray that his day goes well, even if I have a bad day, it will be better if he has a good one.
