Ok, this crawling phase...

really needs to be outgrown. quickly. Not for the reason that you may think either. Oh, yes, it is more work for me to have to tail after her. Currently, I think that is cute, I loved that she finally made it over the little metal piece by the baby/dog gate, it's adorable to just watch her navigate her way around, its precious when she finds something new to investigate. However, the reason that I don't like the crawling is because she is on THE FLOOR! For those of you who know me in real life, you know that I am a fanatic when it comes to germs. Well, with The Girl on the floor all the time, she is so close to all the germs. It's where people walk for crying out loud! YUCK! We all bring in the nastiest stuff on our shoes, b/c we walk outside in them, where the animals do their thing, the place where you can redeposit the contents of your stomach, (sorry TGIFriday's I was pregnant and didn't know) and a plethora of other disgusting things can take place on the ground/floor.
Plus The Girl is fond of taking her nuk (pacifier) out and putting it wherever she pleases and sometimes gets it back into her mouth before I or anyone else can get to her. SO FAR she hasn't been putting too many foreign objects in her mouth, but I am aware that those days are coming, and its making me sick. Plus her hands are ALL OVER the floor and they go in her mouth and eyes and on ME! YUCK YUCK YUCK!!!! She really needs to start walking. I'm just going crazy here.

Why I DON'T blog.... much.... anymore.

A) Because I'm a SAHM (stay at home mom) with nothing really exciting going on, unless you want to hear about my trips to Target, or perhaps the scrapbook store. I did actually scrap the other day, maybe I'll take pics of that and post them for you. MAYBE. Don't hold your breath. I've made promises on here before, and if you are still holding your breath waiting for them to happen, well you are probably dead by now. So sorry.

B) I have a ten month old dd (darling daughter) and 2 fur babies (doggies).

C) I try to use every moment that I can to clean something, whether it be me, laundry, or the house.

D) I'm actually enjoying time outside (I know in the TX heat no less!!!) playing tennis, (real tennis not just on the wii) with C and our friends.

E) I don't want to whine on here anymore. I've decided its time to be positive and to surround myself with positive things.

F) Time on the Internet leads to me wanting to shop. We are still doing the total money makeover and well, shopping on ebay is just not in the budget. :(
*side note: LOVING the Financial Peace University classes!!! We were just at our 7th class last night and I'm still excited about it. MAN! That man has A LOT of information in his head!!! Insurance?!?!?! WHO KNEW?????

G) The girl is CRAWLING. Seriously crawling. She did a few 'steps' about a week ago, would try it again every now and again, then decided last night that she really wants to crawl. She was ALL OVER THE PLACE. It was fun watching her explore her boundaries. She thinks its funny to throw cds. It's not. We'll have to do something about those.

H) Contrary to this post, I don't have much to say. I feel kinda like I'm just living life. Every day is the same with just a different date on it. No biggie. I'm sure that will change. It's nice to not be running around like crazy for now. I'm sure I'll get really bored soon. ;)

I) Planning The Girl's 1st birthday party already. Can you believe it???? In 38 days she will be 1 year old. I'm still dealing with the shock of being pregnant. There is no way I have an almost 1 year old!!! (By the way, the theme is rubber duckie and of course there will be pictures!)

J) Totally looking forward to our first real family vacation this September. We are not going to visit family or friends, we are simply going to RELAX, HAVE FUN, and play on the beach. Oh and hopefully there won't be a hurricane. ;-)

K) That about sums up what you’ve been missing! Again, I’LL TRY to get those pix taken of the pages that I did... :-)


(grrrrr... totally bummed! I did this post in word and used a cool font and had colors and everything, but blogger doesn't like it. POOP on blogger!)

The Girl says...

Hi!!!

 

(well, not verbally, but she waves it!)

We just got back.

More blog post to come probably later tonight or tomorrow morning.

~Til next time!

Hug your family and tell them you love them.

We had a tragedy in our personal part of the world today. A friend was murdered. He had a wife and 2 toddler aged children. I cannot comprehend soemthing like this. I'm stunned. I feel paralyzed. I'm angry. I'm sad. I'm confused. I hurt for his kids and for his young wife.

Please keep the Butler family in your prayers.

Remember to hug loved ones and be sure they know you love them, for we are not promised tomorrow.

~Til next time.
