Momma Drama

Ahhhhhhhhh. My baby is one. How did she get to be so big and old??? My sister, BIL and my nephews were here yesterday to share her birthday. I feel like I've cheated her though.......the other kids had big shin-digs down state with a bunch of people invited to their parties. Not so easy to travel anymore though......the car seems to have gotten smaller since the family has gotten bigger. :) Plus, her birthday is just too close to Christmas, there would have been no way in hell we would have been able to pack presents to transport down for Christmas, then repack gifts we received plus her birthday presents. It was a nice day though.....she loved eating cake and ice cream, even though she gave herself one heck of a brain freeze with the ice cream. LOL! We got her two outfits, a sweater and two pairs of jammies. My sister knitted her a very cute pink sweater with matching hat, and got her a pair of jeans to go with them. When my mom was here at Christmas she bought her a 'Hello Kitty' fleece blanket, and a stuffed dog. She has been such a blessing, even though she was the "ohshit.......whereismyperiodsoIcanstartthesebirthcontrolpillsalready?MygodImightbepregnant' baby.........She hardly ever has a bad day....life is good for her, she is warm and loving and always happy. She is thinking about walking......surfing the furniture, and standing without help on occasion. She waves backwards, it is the cutest thing. Waving with her fingers toward herself. She is learning to blow kisses this last two weeks......loves to shove her whole hand in her mouth to do it, or grab my hand and smack it toward my mouth to make me blow them instead. :) She loves to shake her head no at Daddy, and throw her head backwards too. Loves to rough house with Daddy and her brother and sister, goes right to them and puts herself in the middle of the action. She still takes her naps and bedtime pretty seriously.......lays right down, no fuss. Still doesn't want to be rocked......how horrible is that?!?! She has been the best surprise I've ever received. :)

I want to undecorate today.............glad the holidays are over. The handyman will be returning soon, yay!! Get on with this house. I'm looking forward to scrapbooking and sewing, and just doing some fun things now...........maybe if I concentrate on these types of things winter won't 'get' to me like it usually does.

The 'diet' or healthy living starts soon.....probably today. Need to drop some pounds and start exercising.......walking Trent to school everyday should be helpful in that department. I'm not overweight by much, but I think it's all a comfort thing. I'm not comfortable at this weight.

Want to head out to Joanns today with coupon and cash in hand. I did end up with an eyelet setter out of the sewing notions, except the hole puncher is a bit tore up..........need a new one of those and of course some eyelets. :) I probably need some patterns too, I've got sewing fever! Hopefully I can find a sewing machine belt without too much difficulty, the belt on this machine is going to snap very soon. I have two rolls of film to drop off also for developing. I'm thinking a digital camera is going to be in order for next Christmas......

Off to shower before the natives get up at 8............they are all awake up there.
