Busy as bees

Wow, the month has flown by...

We've been monstrously busy with Football, pre-school, storytimes at the library, shopping, parks, errands and 'US' time. The pre pre-school with parents is a blast; boy do I love seeing my daughter eyes shine. She loves other children, so what could be better than socializing my sweet girl...Not a darn thing! She's still scared of the parachute, but I'm sure she'll be use to that in no time.

I haven't had many free moments lately, and the ones I do have are spent cooking and cleaning the house. So those aren't so free, and I'm exhausted. Funny how I don't see an end in sight...scary! Geez, I hate cleaning. Football is here and my fantasy team won their first game, thank you very much. My husband and I are now tied...and he's a great coach. I love some football, but I didn't think I could master a fantasy team, but he's a great teacher when it comes to Football. We have fun sharing this together. And, I won my first game last Sunday...oops, I already said that. I rule! haha Finally picked up Mads costume...oooh lala. She's a doll and a keeper! Halloween is going to be awesome this year, I can feel it I tell ya. Scored an awesome and free interior and exterior car detail. Love free people. Bought a ton of fabric to start and finish a few projects I have in the works. A dog big and fluffy pillow, and owl pillow, blanket, skirt, doll...etc.e..etc. My sewing machine was dusty and I need to get on with it...sad when you get in a ruts. Blah!

So, I am going to make a real go of potty training-starting Friday. I figure it makes sense to start on a weekend where we don't have big plans to go anywhere. I have no idea what I'm doing, but I suppose that's the fun part. Right?! Hope so. Wish us big pees and poopies. Ah, the joys of motherhood!

My girl turns 18 months old in just a few short days. My cup runneth over...literally. I have an amazing husband who supports and cares for the two of us...a daughter who adores and needs me. I couldn't be luckier I tell ya. I must have done something right in a past life or something. The word I'm looking for is 'thankful,' because that's exactly what I am.

Till next time folks...have a wonderful Hump Day!

Just another Friday

I began to run out of embellishments and such for Maddisons memory scrapbook so I hit Michaels. I can NEVER get out of there for under $60...and it seems I've spent over $200 in the last 3 weeks buying everything under the sun for different projects I have going. I start to feel guilty and a quick phone call with my hubby puts it all in perspective for me...he is wonderful!

On our way back from Glendale we stopped off at the park in Griffith park (2nd time this week...kind of a record for me) and had a blast running around and playing. The parents there were looking for a mommy who's child couldn't find her. Eeeek...I know this happens, but I make every effort to keep my eyes on my girl at all times. All it takes is a second, and in this day and age you can never be tooooo careful! All turned out well, but it turned a light on for me. It can happen to anyone.

This past week I've been working really hard on the two scrapbooks I started before Maddi was born..feels great! Also took Maddi to see the ponies on Wednesday...boy, she sure can't get enough of them. In other news, my brothers dog had 6 puppies yesterday. Poor Sheila! And I'm signing up for 2 classes with Maddi...an Arts and Crafts Pre-preschool and a open gym in Burbank. They give priority to residents, so hopefully I'll score both of them. Should be a lot of fun to share the experience with her. She needs to be around more infants her age.

And, the diet front is slow! In fact, I made myself a small portion of nachos today...so as you can see I'm in a sort of slump. Need to drag myself out and get it together. I hate being overweight! NEED WILLPOWER!!
