So very behind

Well, I'm not going to bother catching up. Anyone who would read this already knows all that's happened so, oh well. But In good new, I HAZ A JOB, let me show you it!!!!

I just accepted a job with Capitol One. I'm so excited but now I'm going to go read "Five Languages of Love" It's got some great ideas that might make all the difference in my next relationship and my family life.

Off to read and giggle at my good fortune. Wishing you all well. Hope to have coffee and/or see a movie with Kindra.

Bye guys.

Mah bebe!

News for this week

I’m trying to do this as a weekly update. I mean, I’m just too forgetful to do it much more often and I feel like such a slacker for not doing it more. Anywho…

I haven’t started weighing again yet. I’m trying to focus on eating regularly and then I will get back to weigh-ins and all. I want to do like a friend of mine did and take some “before” pics that I may or may not post on here…I may be too chicken for that. However, I do feel very well so that has to count for something.

Kay wasn’t sleeping so well last week but last night she didn’t wake and she’s taking two long naps today. I hope this will be a break in that cycle and a return to her normal pattern. I’m sure we’ll all be happier if that is the case. As a matter of fact, she woke just as I started this and is still happily playing with her various toys all on her own. I’m so very lucky that my daughter seems to have so much down without us having to do a thing to teach it to her. I’d like to think she inherited my powers…or former powers, of observation and has just absorbed all this from her parents’ habits but some how I think it’s all her. She’s just wonderful, silly, smart and beautiful. Hehe, oh I could just gobble her up she’s so awesome. Hehe.

Okay, enough of that…I digress. I’m getting back to getting more done in the week. Hopefully this will mean a return to hobbies and reading…maybe even parks and other such diversions…I really want to go biking on the Pinellas trail or walk around Epcot. My plan is to get my sewing machine fixed and start a patchwork quilt for Kay’s toddler bed as my dive back into my hobbies. I want to do a Tetris pattern but we’ll see. Other than that I have some high quality smut to real…I’ll be starting another Katie MacAlister. She is funny as all get out and even writes some young adult books…probably detective types but I really want to check them out and get some for Kay when she gets older…

Most of my friends seem to have gone back to or started college now that I’m done. It reminds me that if I want to be a librarian then I should get my MLS. I dunno. I love to learn so much and I’ve spent so much time in school that it seems a shame to not go on but I don’t care about a career and my natural inquisitiveness is at the heart of my scholastic interests which doesn’t require the academic form to utilize it so….basically what I’m saying is that I don’t intend to get a job and my current pursuits don’t require added degrees so why not save the dough? Oh, but what if something bad happens? Sure, I’d be okay for a while on insurance refunds but that’s hardly a life for me and Kay…should I, instead, get teacher certified so I could be a history/ social science teacher? Maybe I could do that and then get a MLS so I could also be the school librarian? *le sigh*

Anyway, I’ve been writing this off and on all day and it’s time to get Kay to bed. *salute* G’night peeps!!

Kay got a good report today. 19lbs and 4oz., 27inches long, and developmentally closer to 9 months. Makes sense, she sure wears that size now. Need to go grab some more clothes for her again. I tried her clothing on her to see how it was really fitting and much didn’t. She has an okay amount of day clothing but she’s short on the jammies. Just the two I got yesterday as a matter of fact. She can have stage 2 food now and probably stage 3 in not long but she said to hold off on that. I just gave her a sippy cup with water as a training wheel deal but I’ll get juice for her this evening. She’s chewing on the thing but doesn’t really get anything or probably the point yet. Definitely not rejection but serious frustration since I took the top off and gave her a sip…she wants the water. She’s full on crawling, trying to reach up and pull herself up. I think she even knows her name but I’m not sure. She slept in her own crib, in her own room last night for the very first time. She slept like a dream and apparently even woke up to play and fell back to sleep on her own. I bet the parental snoring was keeping her up before. She’s doing wonderfully. She will stop in her tracks for music and singing and loves to be bounced around the pool. I’m so amazingly lucky! Last night was so hard though. I was worried that she was lonely but like Billy said, I was lonely, she was sleeping. She even took a long nap today in her crib. I think she likes it. She did however, get shots. Had a small fever that Tylenol and that nap seemed to help with but she is still cranky and it’s understandable. On that note, Mistress Kay summons her minion for first dinner.

Not a great day for me today. Mommy type troubles, womanly troubles, diet troubles...etc. GAH!!!!

Okay, now, with that said, on to other stuff. Hm...and what would that be...not sure.

Hey, do I come off as narcissistic? My shrink said that my story troubles come off a little like that. Like I'm trying to feed my ego by telling stories, any stories, to get attention. Maybe but I don't think so. I mean. It worked great in waitressing. You have a table and you be the person they need you to be so they will be happy and give you tips. Isn't that what it's about? You meet someone on a trip that you won't ever see again and you share stories to build a quick friendship and if you don't like your life, you make up the story that shows who you...right? That sounds like living out a fantasy, sorta, not narcissism... Meh, no wonder I never felt like I could be myself or that I even knew who I was. I couldn't, didn't and wouldn't have a chance to and now I'm stuck still figuring it out.

*sigh* Well enough of that line of thinking.

I'll write more when I've got better things to say...

New friends, Yay!

Have new friends ftw! hehe. Lori and maybe her son and hubby too but I don't want to ASSume too much. Other than that, I'm feeling off. Probably because there's so much mess around me right now. House, bills, need car, want house. Grr, so hard on teh nesting. Gotta go, my 'ittle poop monster just gave a toot to make her parents proud. I'm betting she's making Mommy presents as I type. More update later.
