Jayce had two "firsts" yesterday that I just don't want to forget. In the morning, we shaved her armpits for the first time! Yep, she had Nair on her lip (which we've been doing since last summer, or maybe 2 years now?) and I shaved those pits! It is fun being a girl ( Read more... )

Yesterday, I took Jayce to her first concert. Okay, not really. Last summer I took her to BSB but that was really for me. This one was for her. Although I didn't realize at the time of purchase that the concert was on a school night, I am so thankful that we went. Jayce was worried about getting enough sleep but I assured her we would make it work ( Read more... )

I was kinda hoping that today I'd be able to take a personal day. I'd like to be able to do my weekend cleaning and grocery shopping and that sort of thing. However, there's just too much going on at work for me to do that. I mean, I could, but it would actually make things worse. Boo. I'm excited though about having a little road trip this weekend ( Read more... )

I was thinking today of some of my favorite sounds and smells. I had a conversation the other day with someone about how certain smells bring me immediately back to a certain time in my life. I guess the conversation stuck with me cuz I'm still thinking about that ( Read more... )

I'm home from work today because my baby either has food poisoning or has caught the stomach bug that has been going around school. She hasn't been sick yet this school year so I guess it was bound to happen at some point ( Read more... )

I could easily be the "cat lady" or have a farm in my house. Really. It goes against all of my instincts to only have the 2 cats and dogs that I have. I so want to have at least one more cat and one more dog. I make the mistake of going to PetSmart on adoption days all the time. It just breaks my heart to see the older dogs and cats. Not even "old ( Read more... )

I've been thinking a lot about where I'm headed in the next few years. The time is now to make some decisions and it is tough. The first decision I've been wavering back and forth about is the school vs. baby thing. I've thought about it a lot- would I want to do both, how many years do I want to wait before I pursue the baby thing, do I want to ( Read more... )

I had one of those days again where I was just checking things off the list one by one. As a result, my back is killing me! I'm like an old lady. Apparently I'm going to have to be more careful about these full days now that I'm almost...thirty. Yep! I'm actually excited. There's no sadness in it for me. Now, there may be at 31 or at 40, but I love ( Read more... )

Man, so much can happen in a year! Last year at this time, I began saving for a house. Now I'm in debt because of it, but I have it!! I didn't have doggies, now I have 2. There wasn't a baby Blaes #2, and now there is. Lots of changes ( Read more... )

Surprising J and taking her to Nickelodeon was so fun. We had a great time. I would definitley go back again, although I'd prefer it be just a bit warmer. Even 5 degrees would have made it nicer. Jayce swam regardless, of course. That was my only complaint- other than the weather, we had a great, great time. The drive down there and back was super ( Read more... )
