I feel so sorry for my husband. Poor guy I seem to always want something new and it is never cheap. Earlier today I posted about my frustration with the car and stroller and such, well I found a solution. After talking with friends I found a stroller, combi twin savvy, that folds small and is light. It would give me plenty of room in my trunk but it is expensive. My poor husband we already bought a double stroller. I think I will just stick with what we have, especially because I don't need to be copying Lisa anymore or Emily, unless it is just too awful. I guess buying a new double stroller is cheaper than buying a new car, especially becuase I found some on ebay. My poor poor husband has to put up with me always finding new things I want or "need". I need help..I guess I am more stressed about lifting, using, and the size of the stroller compared to the trunk, than I thought.
Oh well.. I will move on, thanks for listening to me vent
Emma just took about 9 steps! Yay Emma!
I've been sick the past few days. I went to the doctor yesterday and found out I have a severe ear infection, but I'm feeling better today and life is moving on.
Oh! Emma has been slowly making progress with walking, and today I got a call from Casey saying that she took 4 or 5 steps in a row while they were at the mall! Exciting stuff!
I added something in the sidebar at the right called "Recent Glances" so that everybody can easily see when we post new pictures. I plan giving an indication of how many new pictures were posted and links to the albums each time, so those of you who are photo hungry should find it much easier to satisfy your appetite.
Why is it that they make sedans so small? Not everyone can afford to run out and get a new car once they have two children. A sedan would work fine if they just made it a little higher so you don't have to bend over so much, and kill your back, and it just needs a bigger trunk. When Madison comes our car will be all baby. I am very thankful for what I have and know that just because we are having a second baby doesn't mean we need a bigger car. I just know sometimes it is going to get annoying and I am ready for that. My only reason for posting this is because on a message board I go to someone else posted the same thing and I can relate, plus it got me frustrated again. Oh well, it will all work out once she comes and I will forget my frustration!
We got our U2 tickets the other day! I am so excited, now all I have to do is wait until the END of October. I can't believe I get to see U2 in concert with my very own eyes. WOOHHOOOOO
Miss Emma did something Tuesday that surprised me. She has been able to climb upstairs for several months but I never gave her the chance to climb down. Well, she did it! She went down the stairs all by herself. What a big girl!!!! I can't believe how much she has learned this past year and all she has to learn still. Ohh and Miss Emma's has inherited my nickname of tornado. When I was little my mom called me a tornado and now that is miss Emma. She loves to make huge messes and isn't satisfied until everything is a disaster. What a cutie though:)
I have decided I hate homeowners associations. We got a letter on Saturday about a violation for a trailer being in our driveway. On the letter it had our names and our address but the violation was for the house behind us. So we called and we were mad and Chris pretty much yelled at the answer machine b/c this isn't the first time we got a violation for someone else.
The stupid HOA called today and told Chris that it wasn't a mistake that b/c the trailer faced our driveway they didn't know whose it was so we got the letter. It is on HIS DRIVEWAY AND PROPERTY not ours.. Are they complete idiots or what? Chris will be calling back and yelling once again..I am so sick of the stupid Providence HOA..Does anyone else just think this is ridiculous?
Why is it that Easter is in spring yet it is almost always cold or wet? Can't we have an Easter that is in the high 70's and dry? I don't understand what happens...Take this year for example yesterday it was cold and wet on Easter but today it is supposed to be in the mid 70's. I mean parts of Texas got SNOW on Easter. Is that just weird or what? Oh well maybe next year it will be warm and Emma can do an Easter egg hunt then...:)
Where'd my chair go? You could see it in the webcam yesterday, and now it's gone! If anyone saw who took my chair, tell me! :-)
My sweet little Princess Emma is growing up and I don't like it :( We have decided that it is time to put her in Sunday school(nursery until she can walk) at church. She is just way to active to sit with us in the parent's box during the service. I am sure she will enjoy it and I know she needs to be with other kids her age, but I don't want to let her go. A little part of me feels like a bad mommy for just getting rid of her during the service. I know that isn't the case but I have a hard time letting go. She is my baby and it makes me sad that she wont be with me. Am I pathetic or what? I guess I need to let go..
I hope I am not getting annoying with all my posts about my kids...I can't help it:)
Everybody be nice to Casey, I'd like her to stick around and continue to post. :-)
My ear hurts. If you haven't noticed from the web cam images, I've been on the phone like crazy this week. I'm doing consulting work for a client and we're in the testing phase, so our conversations go something like this:
Client: "Ok, try this one."
Me: "Yup, that one worked."
- long pause -
Client: "Ok, how about this one?"
- another long pause -
Me: "Uh.. ok, I'll need to fix that..."
It was interesting at the beginning of the week because it was something new and there were problems to fix. Now it's pretty dull just because we're through all the major stuff and there's nothing really left to do. I'll look forward to getting back to normal-ish on Monday.
This is my first time doing this so hopefully it doesn't suck! I just needed to vent, people, total strangers are driving me insane. Why is it that I can't go anywhere without people telling me you have a 1 year old and you are about to have another one--what were you thinking? Do you know how hard that is going to be? Why would you do that? Are you crazy? Was is planned? ARGHHHHH can't these people who don't even know me just be nice instead of giving yucky comments like that. Deciding to have Madison was a big decision that I thought about and prayed about for a long time and so did Chris. I just wish people would be happy for me and know that I know what I am doing and everything will be ok:) Believe it or not I think I am a really good mom and that I can handle this!
I just needed to vent because every time I go out I get negative comments or looks instead of a congrats or wow I am so happy for you!
I guess that is all I have to say for now!!
Boy, work has been insane the last few days. I'm even on the phone right now with a customer. It's been one call or meeting after another. I guess what they say is true though -- it's better to be busy than to be out of work...
I had a great weekend. Last night I had to do some late night work and today's been crazy so far, but hopefully I'll be able to post later today.
Today wasn't really a normal day. Casey hasn't been feeling well so I took the afternoon off to come take care of her and Emma so that she could get some rest. It was a nice change of pace, but tomorrow it's back to work!
So here I am... back on the web. Now I have plenty of things to write about. And more pictures to catch up on than you think. :-)
