I realize that my blog posts have been less than stellar lately. Sorry about that. I was reading a friends blog today and she posted all this great love stuff about her hubby and it dawned on me that it has been awhile since I've done anything super-wonderful for my husband... and since he's an occasional reader of my rantings and ravings, I figured I'd let the world know what a FANTASTIC husband he is.
I don't have a set number of things that I'm gonna list, but I'll number them anyway.
1. He not only tolerates me, but he puts up with me and loves me anyway! (now THAT is a good man!)
2. He's totally willing to jump in and do something for anyone in need.
3. He's not afraid and doesn't complain about changing diapers.
4. He let's me be me and doesn't try to change me.
5. He tells me that he loves me everytime we are on the phone. Even if its 20 times in one day!
6. He hugs me, even if I think I'm 'busy'. There is ALWAYS time for hugs.
7. He makes me laugh... even at stupid things.
8. He patiently teaches me, even when I am not patient.
9. He spoils me.
10. He takes care of me when I don't feel well.
11. He loves me with a tender heart.
I've got to end this post now b/c Sydney is stirring, but I thought it was interesting that I had to stop at #11 and next month we will be celebrating our 11 yr wedding anniversary!
C, I love you more than anything!!!!
~til next time, readers!

finally, an update!
Being without a vehicle has really cramped my lifestyle. Thankfully, we got a rental on Friday. After what seemed like a billion phone calls between me and the other drivers insurance company, Thursday they accepted fault for the accident, had my car picked up for its repairs and assigned me a rental car. However, of course they want to keep as much of their money as possible so they only approved for a midsize car, well after having a pt cruiser for the weekend, I have a call into the insurance co again, they are going to have to upgade us. The car is just too small for a rear facing carseat in the back and anyone over 5'3" in the front. Plus the back tailgate doesn't go up unless you unlock it with the key and use your other hand to lift it. With an infant seat, a baby bag, a pocketbook and the occasional grocery bag, I don't always have an extra hand to open the gate with. Not surprisingly, I haven't heard back from them yet. The Friday after the accident, I had what we believe to have been an episode of vertigo; dizzy, room-spinning, vomiting... the whole works. I called my dr, but they referred me to another facility b/c they don't do car wreck stuff. (its a long story, I just don't feel like typing it all out) The ins co wants dr 'stuff' so that after 'therapy' (either meds or 'treatments') they can offer me a settlement. I totally wasn't expecting anything money from this, I'm really surprised actually, but I'm not gonna tell them 'oh, thanks, but I don't need any money from you!' Lovey still hasn't exhibited any signs of even having been in the accident, but I'm starting to wonder now if I should just take her in just so that its on paper somewhere that we went to a dr at least.
Lovey is still doing amazingly well. She's on such a great sleep schedule that totally fits in this house! She's discovered her voice, she babbles and squeals up a storm. She has just begun to realize that she has control over those 'things' (her feet) at the end of the carseat. She also has control over "Eddie", "Eddie" is an elephant that dangles from the handle of her carrier. When pulled down, he vibrates back up and she loves him! We used to have a lamb that did that and as it vibrated back up, it would also say baaaa; but somehow, somewhere he got lost. I think it was on our trip to NY. and yes, I'm way bummed about that.
On a totally random note: Here are a few things to make you say, "yeah, why is that????" (got this off the Internet, but I had to clean it up a bit)
~ People who point at their wrist while asking for the time.... I know where my watch is pal, where is yours?
~ When people say 'Oh you just want to have your cake and eat it too'. You bet! What good is cake if you can't eat it?
~ When people say 'it's always the last place you look'. Of course it is. Why in the world would you keep looking after you've found it?
~ People who ask 'Can I ask you a question?'.... Didn't really give me a choice there, did ya sunshine?
~ When 'they' say something is 'new and improved!'. Which is it? If it's new, then there has never been anything before it. If it's an improvement, then there must have been something before it, couldn't be new.
Finally, this one is SO TRUE!!!
~ When people say 'life is short'. What??? Life is the longest thing anyone ever does!! What can you do that's longer?
Have a great day!

2008 should be a banner year!
First of all, Sydney is fine. Second, I'm sore, but ok overall.
Today we had a fender bender.
As I was traveling west in the left lane, another woman also traveling west but in the center lane decided to make a left turn... right into my car. Like I said, there weren't any injuries, but all my muscles are really sore now. I guess I really tensed up as it was happening. I filed my claim with her insurance company and mine. Now I'm just waiting to hear what they think. The adjuster should be here sometime tomorrow to look at my car. In my opinion, the damage on my car shows that she turned into me. I'm just hoping the insurance folks agree. Tell me, what do you think?
oh and no comments about the filthy car; the road leading to our development is under a major rehaul and they have been putting this clay like dirt down and then wetting it pretty much every other day. If you know me at all, you know that I am totally anal about my car, so having this dirt on here is just KILLING me!!!!
K, I'm going to take a motrin and try to relax for a bit!
~Till next time!

hmmm so it's been awhile, huh?
Ok, I really thought I'd be better at blogging as a Mommy b/c I'd have stuff to write about, than I was before... but as you all can tell, I'm so not! And really, it's not b/c the girl demands so much of my time, she is totally not a morning person and sleeps in, she doesn't need me to hold her constantly and we have a TON of toy/things to keep her attention. I should run downstairs and take a picture of our family room and the baby stuff that has overtaken it, but I'm too lazy. I'm sure I'll get around to it, but really, don't hold your breath!
Christmas was very uneventful at our house. C had to pay for a speeding ticket that he got so that was pretty much his present. I did manage to score him a new game, a dvd, and one of his favorite snacks for his stocking, but that's all I did. I was too mad about the speeding ticket to reward that behavior w/ presents! C gave me a new robe (yay! right Shell?) my other robe was 14 YEARS old!!! I got it from my college roommate, freshman year, Christmas 1993. I was still wearing it, until our recent trip to NY when it received some more damage and unfortunatly we made the decision not to bring it home w/ us, so we buried it in NY, in its original hometown! :D He also gave me this awesome coffee table book, called The Art of the Snowflake. It's actual photographs of snowflakes. Way cool! C did really good on my stocking stuffer items too, which I know is hard for him since he didn't get a stocking when he was a kid and the stocking is totally my favorite part of the presents. We did not go all out for the girl, she's 4 months old for crying out loud! I got her some teething toy things for her stocking. And took pics of her on the couch with her stocking and our gifts to make it look like she got stuff, so when she's older she can't say we didn't spoil her! :D
We currently have an unwanted tenant in our attic... I think its a squirrel. I can hear it when it comes in at night and when it wakes up and leaves in the morning. It crawls around in the ceiling over our bed. It is totally getting evicted this weekend! C is going to see about finding out how he/she is getting in, then set a trap for it, get it out of our house and revoking its key (sealing off its entrance)!
The girl is totally laughing now. She even has tickle spots. Its so much fun to make her laugh. C is really good at it, and I've been trying to catch it on video, I think I've gotten some. She's also spent some time on her belly, she doesn't push up on her arms yet or roll over, but she does bring her knees up under her... so we'll see where she goes from there. She's also eating like a pig!!! She's up to 6oz a pop now! Oh and for about a month now, she's been sleeping through the night, a good 8-10 hours in a row. YAY!!! And for those that knew, saw, or remembered... her clogged tear duct is all cleared up. No more goop coming out at all. WHOOO HOOO!
Today is the girls 4 mo check up, so next time I blog I'll have stats for you. Not much else happening here. Just chilling out. Have a wonderful day!
