What Have You Been Up To?

Life is pretty good right now-staying busy, that I know. This coming week will be fun because David is treating himself and I to a little vacation in Vegas. We leave on Thursday and get back Sunday afternoon. Our original intentions for this trip were to go to a UFC fight- Hendo vs Jones at Mandalay Bay, but due to a torn MCL, Henderson had to back out. This is the first time in 11 years a UFC fight has ever been cancelled, and on top of that we also booked two tickets to see a couple of our favorites Joe Rogan and Joey Diaz do some comedy, but because of the UFC being cancelled, Mandalay Bay opted to cancel the comedy show too--and that my friends, is what we call Murphy's Law:-) I'm not going to let it bring me down though. So what if we spent a bunch of money on shows we can no longer see, and so what if we probably won't get reimbursed until after we return from Vegas:) Maybe David and I will get lucky on a slot machine or something... Oh wait, that's right, you have to actually gamble in order to win. Last time we were in Vegas we never gambled a dime.

So what are we going to do in Vegas? Wing it, I guess. This is hard for me because I like to have a plan in place. I will say I am REALLY looking forward to the weather change because I've been listening to David sneeze and sniffle for way too long. These allergies he has are not only annoying him, but me too.

Other than our trip to Vegas we have a little lady that'll be turning 2 in a matter of weeks.  I think  I'm more excited than anyone for her birthday. David thinks I'm doing all of this party planning for myself and maybe a little bit of that is true, but honestly, I always want the best for Syrie, so if she wanted a party w/ transformers, Legos (or any other boy craze I have no interest in) I'd make it the best damn party there could be. We decided to go with the carnival theme primarily because we already own a popcorn and cotton candy machine, but I'd have to say the best part of all is going to be the lady that comes to make the kids (and me) balloon animals! I'm hoping for nice (okay, decent) weather as we're planning this party at a park, but I won't be too let down if it ends up being moved to our tiny house. That's all for now, and I hope to post more after the birthday bash.

Is it 7:30 yet?!

Life with an 11 mont h old is exhausting.   Yes, it can be exciting, joyful, and yes, I have my proud moments too, but today it’s, well, exhausting. The people around me most often I'm sure would say, I tend to hop on the frustration train the moment Syrie starts to act out or they might say I just get down right angry, and they’re right.   I never claimed to be World’s Greatest Mom, but today I tried another approach. I stayed calm, didn’t lose my cool, and yet still she seems to be impossible to satisfy.   Maybe satisfy isn’t the right word because I’m sure that leaves some of you thinking, I spoil her and give her whatever she wants the second she tears up, but that’s not true either.   I had the television off, phone put away, and all of my attention on her.   I was trying to keep her mind off of whatever it was that made her want to whine and fuss, but nothing worked.   I tried ignoring it, but I’m learning that she doesn’t care what ap...

Her First Overnighter

As many of you have already heard, Syrie had her first overnight stay in the hospital at just under 7 months old.  While it's not what I was expecting Wednesday morning when I was advised to bring her in by her Doctor after finding out she had a high temp, I suppose I should just be grateful it turned out to be nothing.  I've always been one to look at things in the way that, if I'm going to go through all this hassle, there better be a good reason for it, dang it!  At least that's how I always looked at this sort of thing when it happened to me.  Now that I have someone else to worry about, I think about things a little differently, but the thought is always in the back of my mind-some things/attitudes are hard to change. Before Wednesday I really had no idea what a high temperature for a child was.  Since this fiasco, I've learned that babies can stay home with a much higher temp then my little miss endured.  All I knew was that my doctor's nurse told m...

Blood Diamond? Try Gassy Diamond.

With all the weddings in the coming months I decided I better start tanning so that I don't look ghostly in my dresses.  Having a baby makes tanning a little more difficult, so I figured I would squeeze it in on my lunch break, and went for the first time in a long time yesterday.  I typically don't wear jewelry when I go in a tanning bed, but because of the time crunch I decided to leave my wedding ring on.  While getting toasty in the bed I looked down at my ring and under the UV lights to my surprise, the far left diamond on my ring was bright blue--not just the top, but the sides, the entire thing!  I panicked and my mind immediately raced back to February when I got my bands soldered to my engagement ring, and I went home to show David. His response to my ring was, "Your ring looks smaller.  You know, sometimes they switch out diamonds on people."  At the time I thought about it for a second, and then assured myself that that would never happen to me....
