let's just talk about Saturday. because Saturday we did the most. we played outside all day. helped Daddy with the lawn. ate some dirt. YUM! after nap, helped Daddy more outside. after we came in, there was bath time then nap. then Mommy forgot to feed me!!! how do you forget to feed your kid??? ask Mommy. *(for S1) you gotta be a special kind o' stupid to forget to feed your kid!
Mommy here: get off my case, kid. you ate some stars in the car!
saturday nite - we went to Senior Serve. Senior Serve is where you get hardly anything to eat and are expected to "tip" the seniors serving you. it was a fundraiser for Project Graduation and it was fun because my kid was an angel during the whole thing! i know i'm totally jinxing myself here, but i have to say it. he was GOOD! the whole time we were there! even starving! j/k! i fed him. eventually.
i can't even tell you how excited i was. it was his first night time outing, after bed time (excluding Christmas Eve and that didn't count really cuz he was getting sick). needless to say, first outing: a success.
you tell me... does this look like a cranky baby to you?
i think not.
friday - had dinner with Nana. we weren't in a real rush to get home, but i was starving, so she fed us. by the time we got home, there was a little playtime with Daddy then off to bed.
notice, i have nothing else to say unless it involves the kid. you don't wanna hear about my day at work. trust me.
saturday - we were stuck inside all day. nasty weather makes for a really long day with baby. so, we played chase and attempted more signing and i swear he said, "Mom"! we had a good time.
sunday - Monkey and i planned on going out to the WUWU, but it was way too cold to get him out of the house. i went alone. as much as everyone was happy to see me, they were equally upset they didn't get to see him. that was the whole point of going, after all.
since he wasn't there, i helped out. Pollie is getting her share of bananas so i better be tasting some banana nut bread in my near future. it's a passing tradition. the shelters won't accept any of the fruit so we all divvy it up. i made out like a bandit, this year - animal crackers, two loaves of bread, hot dog buns, two crates of bananas, other stuff to snack on for the year!
oh, and p.s. - he took more steps! he's on his way. just a matter o time before he's running away from mommy kisses. =(
so this weekend was pretty uneventful until Sunday. we didn't do much of anything at all, Friday. i picked up a pretty sleepy and cranky baby, but that's about it. always fun.
saturday - we were supposed to have a play date with a few of the mommies. cancelled. not because of me or my kid, but cancelled none the less. it worked out for us anyway. we went to Hobby Lobby for last minute "charm party" stuff then headed up to meet Woz at Berryhill.
it was good catching up and planning out the events that would unfold on Sunday. of course, now that we have a kid, there's really no use in "planning out" anything because (A.) you will never be there on time or (B.) you do not have enough energy to try to be there on time. my kid slept late and i wasn't waking him up. more on that later.
saturday evening - i headed out to Babies-R-Us for a new car seat. my Monkey is getting VERY uncomfortable in his seat... all stuffed into it. poor thing. so i got him the My Ride 65 convertible, because he still has to face backwards. i didn't get him the one i wanted, because we would have to order it and i don't think he would last another day in his old one. i didn't wanna wait. the My Ride is nice. it looks like a mini lazy boy for the back seat. plus, it has cup holders! not that he cares. he's cool with throwing his bottle across the back seat or shoving his snacks under his pants. not that he does that on purpose (the snacks that is. i think he totally knows what he's doing with that bottle), but that's where they all seem to end up. we have a car with a kid in it... and it shows!
sunday - marathon day! we're going to see "Uncle Monkey" aka BA run the Houston Marathon. the marathon start was at 7am.... pa-shuh! right??? Monkey slept late and momma slept right along with him. when we got up, i really didn't want to rush him. i thot we could wing it until nap time then he'd sleep on the way.
so i made my boys some pancakes and strawberries for breakfast. Monkey loves him some strawberries! we ate, got ready and got on the road. nap time. damn, i'm good. =)
we got to the finish line about an hour early so we walked around for a bit. checked out everything going on. Monkey was having a blast. you wouldn't know it by looking at that always serious face, but he was. trust me. plus, he was on Daddy's shoulders and he LOVES that!
we got to see BA cross the finish line! YAY! 
afterwards, we met Frisky and Albert & Shannon out for lunch. that was fun and a whole 'nother story. man, i love my friends!
until next time, i'm sweet t and you're not.
so we made the move. we moved our bedroom upstairs and the game room downstairs. unnecessary? maybe. does it give me peace of mind? definitely. don't know how long it will last but we'll see. it's been two days and it's working out so far. after dinner, we're now giving him his bath upstairs. you know, kinda to get him in the mode of "it's close to bed time now". he's still not going down on his own, of course. baby steps, people!
we're still having to put the place back together, tho. so Nana's going to come over tomorrow morning so HM can do some stuff before he leaves for work and she's watching him tomorrow nite while we try and do the rest. we're having "Friends" Thanksgiving on Sunday. we really don't want the place looking like crap when everybody comes over. silly us.
i'll post pictures when everything's all said and done.
i don't even remember half of what we did, but i think we had fun doing it.
friday - Booger's last high school football game. my god, where has the time gone? he'll be in college next year. i can still remember the little runt who used to want to go everywhere with me and Addie. now, not so much. but i have those memories, dammit, and no one can take them away!
i would show you pictures, but since S1's battery died in her camera i had to give mine up. and guess who hasn't posted the pictures yet??? hmmmmm???
saturday - woke up early to meet a couple of the mommies for breakfast. Monkey's going through a new phase... let's act like a raging banshee in public! yeah, that's a cute one. NOT! he doesn't want to stay in the high chair, he doesn't want to stay in my lap. he wants to get down on the floor and crawl around on everything that is nasty! blech! he so takes after his Daddy. i'll admit, i'm a little less OCD now that i have a kid, but not so much i'd put my hands on a restaurant floor. ick!
after breakfast, we had a nap and waited for Nana. we did some Christmas shopping at C&D, had some lunch then went to the Children's Museum. Monkey had a BLAST at the Children's Museum! i got more video than pics so i'll have to put that up pretty quickly. i'll bet have the video up before S1 gets her pictures up. just sayin'.
anyway, he climbed stairs! he climbed real stairs AND cushy stairs, all by himself! he played nice with the other kids. and he has a deep fascination for steering wheels. go figure. he also went through this thing with stairs, humps, and an incline. all the way through! he was a little scared going down the incline, but he did it. he also climbed through a tunnel. he likes tunnels. we need to get more tunnels at home. and play mats. and cushion stairs. that place was awesome. we'll be going back often. i think Shaggy would like it, too. we'll have to take him with us next time.
he passed out as soon as we got back in the car. he sorta made a friend but he was mostly exploring on his own. my kid's gonna be a loner. great...
sunday - we had planned to see the girls' games but it started drizzling. we invited Mamalane and Papatom down instead. as per usual, Monkey was napping when they got there. he was in a pretty good mood when he got up, though, so he was up for playing. Mamalane was more than happy to oblige.
hey lady, get outta my box!
sunday evening - we all wound down pretty early. Monkey went down around 5:00 and since reading all that about night terrors (him possibly being overtired), i was not waking him up. he got up on his own around 10:30, stayed up with Daddy for a couple of hours then slept thru the nite. oh, but he was up bright and early at 4:30! seriously, he can't just give me that last 30 minutes??? good god, man!
until next time, i'm sweet t and you're not.
friday - didn't do much of anything. Nana and Princess kept Monkey for me today. i got a lot done at work, that's for sure.
with a baby that does nothing but eat, sleep and poop, there's not a whole lot of excitement just yet. sorry for being so boring lately.
saturday - Nana offered to keep Monkey so i could finish shopping. with a $150 Macy's gc burning a hole in my pocket, i was ready to go.
GOOD GAWD, MAN! Macy's is expensive!! no wonder i shop at Target. i got two pairs of pants, a really cute black and white embroidered shirt thing (it'll look cute with leggings, i think), and some really sexy hawt shoes (note to self: can not hold kid and wear said shoes at same time). and still had $20 left on the card. not for long, tho. i still needed summer lipstick. with lipstick, liner and gloss, i got my free gift with purchase.
i got the blue one. very cute. i can definitely use it on our beach weekend coming up.
after shopping, i got the okay to get a mani/pedi. this will be the LAST time i ever go to a new place! the toes look good, but she almost killed me. geesh. and my manicure polish is ALREADY peeling off! she only put one coat of clear on top. loser. and i know she was talking about me cuz i wasn't all chatty. i wasn't there to make friends... i just wanted a manicure! i had to get back to my Monkey.
sunday - ohmigawd! Sunday was the best day of all! i turned baby duties over to HM and BA and i CLEANED OUT MY CLOSET! my closet hasn't been this clean since we first moved in! can you tell i'm excited about that? i had two full lawn bags of clothes and shoes... all going to the clothes donation center in the Target parking lot. i put all my maternity stuff away in Big Red Bag and put it in the back of the closet. HM would rather me burn it, but we'll see.
i got all my new clothes washed and put away and i'm super excited that i got into my last pair of pre-pregz capri's! all my shoes are lined up again, meaning Rosco needs to find another place to sleep. i still didn't get to the top of the closet, but that's all t-shirts that either need to be thrown out or re-purposed somehow. i'd really like to make some kind of quilt out of all my old cycling t-shirts that i got when we had the team going. i also saw a tutorial on how to make sleepers for babies, out of old t-shirts. pretty neat but i doubt i'll do that. just not that talented. or motivated. whatever.
sunday afternoon there was a big storm rolling in. HM took Monkey outside to check things out. 
after that, we both got baths and got ready for Nana's. his FIRST sleepover! i was skeered. we went to Aunt S1's first and i learned a very valuable lesson of always being prepared... because sometimes your mother is not where she's supposed to be!
until next time, i'm sweet t and you're not.
thursday - Addie's here!! yay!! she'll be shopping tomorrow while i'm working. Nana came over, too. she'll be taking Monkey for me, tomorrow. HM will be leaving tomorrow, for Indy. =(
friday - it's amazing what a 5 minute difference will do for drive time to TC. i took the beltway and got there in no time at all! i went to pick Monkey up. i could tell Nana was a bit razzled and more than ready for me to pick him up. and she wants to quit her job to do this? ha!
Addie was responsible for dinner. she found a place that specializes in ready made meals. you just take them home and finish the prep. they weren't too shabby. it wasn't a late nite and i think we were in bed by 10:00. how exciting am i?
saturday - full day planned. Addie wanted to do more shopping. but first, we were meeting Michelle for sushi. YUM! i haven't seen Michelle since about 1997 or '98. it was really great catching up with her. same Michelle i remember; funny, classy, always so together. she and DZ have two kids now, nine and seven. totally cute! one looks like her. the other like him.
afterwards, Addie and i went to Target, Academy, Marshalls, and probably some where else i can't remember. it was Monkey's first really long outing. i mean, without going to someone's house. we were just out and about for almost six hours! he did really well. we fed him at sushi and again in Academy. he was great!
got a couple of pairs of summer shoes. i think my foot grew a half size with the pregnancy... not sure. now that i'm back in pre-preg size i got a few new things as far as clothes. i'm really happy with everything i got. i just need about two more pair of capri's and i'm done. great... now i gotta keep the legs shaved.
we watched Doubt then turned in for the nite.
sunday - got up at 5am and never went back to sleep!! that's okay, though... i got a lot done around the house. well, the kitchen. i started dinner in the crock pot, emptied the dishwasher, washed all bottles and nipples, and was going to start on the dirt cake until i realized i didn't have anything to put it in. S2 had my trifle dish.
once Addie got up, we all got dressed and went to "the new Nop's", Mi Abuelita. same cooks, same food. heaven. AND they give you TWO tortillas with your meal. GIANT tortillas!! so good.
got home and made the dirt cake for neighbor's grad party. she was so excited when i took it over there. it made me feel good. =)
i have to thank Addie for all the help this weekend. i couldn't have done all that stuff without my P.I.C. (partner in crime). she was awesome with feeding him in the truck, while we were out running errands. and SHOPPING! only for Addie. =)
until next time, i'm sweet t and you're not.
friday - Nana was ready to hand him off as soon as i got to her place to pick him up. i told you he was getting stubborn about his naps! then off we went to pick up a twin bed from S1. we now have an extra bed in Monkey's room. this will work out well for when he starts sleeping in his crib. i can stay in there with him if i want and the grandmother's can stay in there when they sleep over, too.
we didn't do much when we got home. he was hungry and then went down for the nite. my little Monkey's so sweet.
saturday - we made an attempt to go shopping. yeah, that didn't work out so well. as soon as the basket stopped moving, he started with the crankiness. i had enough time to try on a bathing suit, trunks and two more things that didn't fit. i hate being in between sizes. the bathing suit actually did fit, so now i have something to wear to the beach in a couple of weeks. yay! i'm so looking forward to that. it'll be Monkey's first trip to the beach. i hope he loves it as much as i do.
saturday evening - HM and Uncle Topher took over Monkey duty so i could get some real shopping done. a mother's day shopping trip, if you will. i got a couple of things for work. it feels nice to not wear maternity jeans every day. it feels even better to get back into pre-pregnancy clothes! ahhhhhhhh...
sunday - my first Mother's Day rocked! Monkey got me a new charm (a baby bottle) with his name and birth year on it. he also got me flowers and cards. i'm going to James Avery today to get the charm put on. we had turkey burgers for our moms. Nana and Grammalane both made it over. it was kinda funny watching them both "fight" over grandbaby time.
i got myself something for Mother's Day, too (besides the clothes). it hasn't come in yet. i'll post a picture of it when it does.
until next time, i'm sweet t and you're not.
friday - after rushing home, i got ready for "date nite". it was our first real nite out since baby. we went to Keels & Wheels which was supposed to be a really big thing for HM, but Carroll Shelby was too sick to travel. it was still pretty cool to see all the old cars.
afterwards, we went to Carrabba's for dinner. good stuff. we even saw one of our Pappadeaux bartenders waiting tables there. rumor is 'deaux will be open in 10 months. not so sure how true that is. they still haven't even started clean up at the location.
saturday - Monkey and i hung out while the boys (HM & BA) went back to Keels & Wheels. we were going to take a trip to the park for the neighborhood meet up thing but we napped instead. we had a goooood nap. much needed as my kid has decided to sleep thru the nite on weekends only.
saturday nite we boiled crawfish. S1 and family came over and we devoured a 40lb bag together.
man, is this the most boring post or what?
sunday - hung out with baby. he's "talking" a lot more now. he's also being more stubborn with his naps. is it wrong to want to put your kid in day care??? just askin'.until next time... you know the drill
not a whole lot happened to report on.
friday - well, after it took me TWO hours just to get home from work!! i still had to pick up baby 20 minutes away. i called my mom to see if i could just stay the nite so she could help me and i could get more sleep. first week back at work has been a killer. i'm exhausted. i didn't really think it would be this bad, but it is. plus, the doc gave me zoloft, so i'm not sure if that doesn't have something to do with my tiredness.
Monkey boy was amazed at Nana's house. he was way over stimulated... too much to look at, all at once. lol i never noticed it before but good gawd she's got a lot-o-STUFF to look at!! poor thing was so tired when i got there. Aunt S1 finally got him to sleep by rocking him. i was conked out by 10pm. it would have been earlier but i was really trying to stay up until he fell asleep. Nana stayed with him and i got some sleep until the morning. yay!
saturday - after Nana made breakfast and we saw Aunt S2 and family, we made it home before the monsoon hit. it was so dark, his timing was all screwy so we napped all day.
Mamalane and Papatom braved the torrential downpour and flooding to see the little Monkey. again, i was exhausted. i went down around 8pm and didn't get back up until 10am the next morning. Mamalane was more than willing to get up with Will for feeding. man, i love my family!
sunday - a whole lot o' nothing. HM took care of Monkey so i could take a nap. man, why am i so tired? the rest of the day was spent vegging out. all three of us. Aunt S1 was going to come by but i had just got him down and he had been fighting it all day. it was best not to jack with him.
tomorrow, Daddy's taking care of the Monkey. we'll see how it goes.
until next time, i'm sweet and you're not.
friday - don't remember doing much of anything except LAUNDRY!! and i can't even do that, right! HM has to get the clothes out of the washer for me because i physically can not. so that's all i did; laundry and baby stuff.
saturday - all day lamaze class. HM loved it. NOT. i'm glad we went, tho. there were some good points and honestly, there were only two women in there that were not planning on being drugged during the whole process. and good gawd, man, those are the scary ones.
we scored a changing table and some baby boy clothes from one of the other classmates. that was nice. it's missing the bottom shelf but i think HM can fix it somehow or find something to fix it so it's more sturdy and i have extra storage for diapers and what not. he's handy like that. he can do it.
if you're wondering, we did celebrate a little bit of Valentine's. we had lunch at Pappasito's and chocolate covered strawberries. i paid. cuz i love my honey like that.
saturday nite - like idiots, we drove through the rain to get to Mardi Gras... me, HM, and BA. cuz, you know, what is Mardi Gras if we don't take BA?? it wasn't raining when we got there, thankfully. we had a good time at the parade with Pollie and Manny. and i held the cutest little 3-year old. he was so precious. he was scared shitless from all the noise and crowd, but precious none the less. he lay on me, shivering. poor thing. i like to think that i helped calm him down a little. he wasn't shaking as much when i gave him back to his mom.
after the parade, we headed downtown. i wanted to see everybody... and i wanted everybody to see me! how often do you get to see a pregnant Sweet T??? uh...never. we made our rounds down The Strand and up The Post, stopped for sushi on the way and ended up passing out at SBW's. yeah, i passed out, too. not from drinking, but from walking and all the excitement of being down there and seeing every one. it was really awesome. i miss the island.
sunday - S1 and Princess came over to help me put things where they belong. we put the mobile together and S1 hung things on the wall and put one of the baby's swing things together. or bouncy chair thing, whatever. we divided up what needed to go back, what needed to stay, what needs to go in what car and how many of what to keep. we literally did have about seven first aid kit thingy's. i still have clothes to go through from what the lady in class gave me, but that can wait a few days.
until next time, i'm sweet t and you're not. have a nice flight.
OMG! another busy weekend.
friday - i went to work. Woz and Addie were at the house prepping for the next day shower. scaring me a little bit. Frisky and BA showed up later to do their parts. there were decorations going up and roux cooking on the stove. everything was falling into place. i tried to stay up and rally but seriously, i was in bed around 10:00.
saturday - SHOWER DAY!! YAY!! got up early. more prepping. charged up all batteries for all cameras. took a nap. got up to get pretty for the party. i will have pictures and video for you soon. it's all on the cameras and i haven't plugged in my laptop this week.
it was a fun shower! about 20-25 people were there. good food! we Baby Will got all kinds of good stuff, including the stroller/car seat/lock in thingy from the hosts of the shower! awesome! we also received about seven or eight first aid kits among all the showers together. i'm guessing our friends and family know us pretty well. none of them will go back. we'll have one in each bathroom, both cars, his room, our room, kitchen and living room!
our friends could not have done more for us. it was an awesome shower with awesome food and awesome decorations and awesome people. did i mention how awesome it was?
sunday - Woz and Addie wanted to take me out to a breakfast brunch. they had a really nice thing planned at Bailey's, but me being the ruiner i am, chose to eat at a lower key place so we could sit outside and enjoy the day. it was a really gorgeous day!
afterwards, we all plopped ourselves on a sofa and watched Max Payne and Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist. Max Payne i could have done without, but how can you not watch a Marky Mark movie??? N&N, very cute. funny moments. Michael Cera is always a favorite. i liked it.
after everyone left, i think we ended up going to bed around 7:00. we're lame, i know. it was a busy weekend. crazy weekend. people in and out of the house all weekend. it was time for sleep. well, what little sleep we could get with all the snoring and the waking up.
until next time, i'm sweet t and you're not.
P.S. Happy Birthday to the Stepmonster! i'm sure you're having a better time in Vegas than i'm gonna have at my Breast Feeding class on my birthday!!
friday - finished making "thank you" labels for the soaps i made. CUTE! if i do say so myself. also, got together the hostess thank you's for everybody giving the shower. big hit. i think. unless they were faking, i think everybody liked it.
saturday - SHOWER DAY!! YAAAYYYYYY!!! OMG! Baby Will got so much stuff!! Nana and Felix got the activity walker we wanted and Uncle Jim & Aunt Kathy got him a pedal car fire truck. BOTH very cool! Aunt S1 got him a monkey easter basket filled with goodies and Aunt S2 gave him a basket full of stuff!! this baby has clothes out the ying-yang!! i never thot about the laundry this little sucker is gonna produce... good gawd, man! i was up taking tags off all sorts of things that needed washing. ugh.
sunday - got up, at 5am, for the 8th annual WUWU. another rider from the team has taken it over this year. she's turned it into a fundraiser for rescued dogs. for being the first year she did it, she did pretty good. there weren't as many riders this year what with it being rainy and superbowl day and all, but it was still a very good turnout. she made her goal and that was good.
met the family for brunch. ALL the family! i really like it when everybody's in town and we all meet for breakfast. it's cool. note: do not let GG pick the place we eat next time.
afterwards, i headed out to Babies-R-Us and got Baby Will a mattress and ordered his chest of drawers. all those clothes are gonna need a home! HM stayed home and cleaned out the "star wars" closet. it was the baby's closet. he also took all his tools and paint stuff out of the armoire so i could put things in there until the chest comes in (in 7-14 days).
this week will be full of activity as well. we've got to get all of Baby Will's stuff upstairs and get the downstairs clean for the "friend" shower this weekend. did i mention four single peeps are giving us a mardi gras themed baby shower? yeah, that's happening this weekend. it's gonna be coooool.
until next time, i'm sweet t and you're not.
friday - made soaps! i thot it would be a good idea to make baby soaps for everyone at the family shower, as a thank you. they came out really cute, if i do say so myself. i made mini ones, clear ones, blue ones, and turquoise baby blue ones (i liked those best). now i just have to come up with the packaging. which i'm pretty sure i can take care of this week. i'm pretty sick so i've been useless. we'll see how the rest of the week goes.
saturday - got up and got a pedi. i'm sure Dave Ramsey would not approve. then again, Dave Ramsey was not feeling my claws on his legs when i went to bed. Cutsthesheetsasaurus Rex was out, in full effect! BA came down and helped HM put the floor down in the baby's room. i'm really glad BA's able to help him with all this stuff. as i said earlier, i'm pretty much useless. the floor looks really good!!
sunday - baby shower! yay!! oh yeah, i was supposed to go for pregger pics in the morning. didn't happen. it was not a good day for shooting. and ohmigod, after i saw what i looked like in the shower pics... ew. not sure i want pregger pics taken now. hopefully, SBW would do a much better job of getting my "good side". so back to the baby shower... it was so cool seeing everyone that still cares about me and Baby Will and HM. i didn't even cry. shocker, i know! but i didn't. i got the high chair and the play pen and all kinds of clothes that probably aren't gonna fit him. we got a swing and a bouncy chair and a boppy pillow. all very cool stuff! i'm so glad they did that for us. and it was so much better than the boring office showers anyways!
until next time, i'm sweet t and you're not.
friday - got off early to pick Dad up from the airport. yay! came back to the house, made some dinner and waited on Tony & Goldi and the rest of the gang. S1 brought the family, S2 brought the family, even A.Martha even came out.
it was so much fun having everyone here. i loved it. i had such a good time. hearing stories, watching the kids play, laughing all nite. i was up until 3am! Dad, Tony, and A.Martha were up until 5 in the morning! ack! i felt like i had a hangover the next day. ugh.
saturday - got up and ate everything Goldi made in my kitchen! the woman was spoiling us. seriously.
saturday nite - everyone came over again. this time for dinner. S1 and S2 also recruited Goldi into baby shower planning. she is on cloud 9! seriously. she is so excited to be a part of it. she's going nuts. she's already started on the "grandma" corsages. i can't wait. it's gonna be great!
there was more story telling, more guitar playing, and karaoking. fun nite.
sunday - got up for breakfast. saw Dad, Tony & Goldi off. rested. =)
awesome weekend. can't wait to do it again. until next time, i'm sweet t and you're not.
i did NOTHING! and thoroughly enjoyed it!
we caught up on sleep this weekend. much needed sleep. i didn't make the Peter Cetera show. i'm lame. i know. i just wanted to rest. and i did.
this weekend and every weekend following, will be much busier. Dad and Little Tony are coming in Friday nite and Marisa & Aunt Martha are coming over. everybody else will probably be here Saturday. maybe do some grillin.
until next time, i'm sweet t and you're not. =)
friday - i ran around all morning... registered for our lamaze class, picked up some headphones, looked at bedroom furniture, etc. we're trying to get the room in order before the baby comes. just so we know where we can put his bed and how everything's going to fit. i figure he'll be in our room the first couple of months. gotta make space and all.
friday nite - started putting christmas up. we're lame. we were in bed at 7:45. i get the feeling our kids aren't gonna have much of a problem sneaking out. we're gonna have to set booby traps around the house.
that nite, Baby Will got his first taste of classical music. the sounds of Chopin were played thru his new headphones. he was moving around like crazy! it was so cool. HM could actually see him moving around in my belly. since then i've been playing him music every day. he doesn't move around as much as the first nite, but he kicks here and there. mom says that's what S1 did when she played music for her. just kicks here and there. let's hope Baby Will has more rhythm than his aunt.
saturday - busy day, still putting christmas up, finished the laundry, then went into town to keep HM company at the rent house for a little bit. went to mom's for dinner because A.Linda and Sarah & the kids were in town. the house is so full with everyone there. i love it, tho. for a little while.
sunday - was supposed to get some pregz pictures taken but Nara couldn't find her camera. instead, went to mom's for breakfast. you gotta get there early to get any food anyways.
after breakfast, we played cards. they play poker all the time... after every meal. this time they played Blitz and Chase the Ace so i was able to join in. it was fun! eight of us around a table. loud. good gawd, it was loud. but it was fun. i had a good time today. seeing the cousins and playing cards with the family. OH! also, i beat S1 at Othello!! she sux0rz! until next time, i'm sweet t and you're not.
friday - after going in at 6am and bossing Manny around, i got off early and kinda chilled at home waiting for HM and BA. i thot it would be a fun nite, but... we just found out when we would find out about our jobs. Thursday. i'll find out whether or not i'll have a job on Thursday. it's not something i'm looking forward to. if i lose my job, not so good for me. if i keep my job, GREAT! but then not so great for others i know.
i've grown up in that office. literally. and grown up with the women in that office. we all started on the lowest level, from receptionist and biller to now manager and systems analyst. we're still there. loyal to UTMB for 20 years. it makes me sad to think it might not be anymore, after Thursday.
saturday - tried to get my spirits up with BABY shopping! i dragged S1 out with me to register at Babies-R-Us and two different Targets for baby stuff. HM and i had no clue what to register for. she's got two kids, we figured she had an idea. we were out from 9am to 4pm, almost.
i came home to three new steps. =) HM and BA are working on putting laminate on the stairs. it looks so good! i can't wait til they're all done.
again, an early nite. we're old. HM was in bed at 9:30. i made BA put it on The Godfather while i edited some video from the New Orleans trip and he slept on the couch...AGAIN! i swear i don't think that boy has ever used the spare bedroom!
sunday - after a full nite of tossing and turning and refluxing and drooling, yeah, drooling... my husband thot it would be cool to get up at 5AM and wake up everyone else in the house!!! good gawd, man!! the frikking sun wasn't even up yet!! he made up for it with kolaches, but still.
he was on house fix crazy. as soon as i finished breakfast he started making noise with saws and dremels and hammers on the stairs.
i edited a bunch of video this weekend. i'll post some of it this week. i really wanted to take more video while we were registering, but i kinda got caught up in the moment.
oh, and i lost my phone. actually, i didn't lose it. S1 was the last one seen with it. when i got home i put my bag down and never touched it after that. my phone is not in or attached to the clip on my bag. i'm going over to search her truck for it today.
until next time, i'm sweet t and you're not.
