Laziness.

We are offically guest free for awhile now. I'm tired. *zzzzzzz* It was fun havin' family around, as always. Sis and I finally had a girly day today! We got haircuts and went shopping! Horray! Well my shopping consisted of diapers, toilet paper, baby wipes...essentials like that. Target is fun to shop at when all you have is Wal Mart in your area. Different things to look at! Target has the cutest baby stuff too. Kudos Target....kudos.

Aria was trying to bottle feed Gan yesturday. :D

We think Gan is teething. He's beginning to be quite cranky, and always wants something in his mouth. He's droolin' like a leaky faucet.

Gan loves squash.

I need to start scrapbooking again. It's gettin' myself started that's the problem. Once I start it'll be ok....but it's gettin' the motivation to do so!

Todd and I are both sittin' on the couch, w/our feet up, tv on, and laptops on our laps. Now that's what I call a good lazy time.....

Gotta make my calls tomorrow to friends since I've been mia for a week or so....

Dawn is heading to Korea tomorrow. :( I hope she buys lots of good cheap electronics....and purses. :D And doesn't eat dog.....

Apple crisp anyone?

Today is a better day.

Gan is doing his naps pretty well today! He slept from 8:15pm-4:30am before wanting a snack. Then he got up around 7:45am and started our day! He's been sleepin' an hour each nap, and only crying a couple minutes until he plops to sleep. Better day for sleepin' Gan-o.

I'm obsessed w/this site called Ft. Riley Yard Sales. I have a free account for a month and I can post all my shit! I've been posting stuff Gan doesn't fit anymore. So far I've made about $6.50. It's way fun having a yard sale online. :P Whatever I don't sell I'll just sell at my "real" yard sale. :D Yard sales RULE.

So I want to do an aeorbics class in the evening. I just gotta find one onpost that's free! I need to get my butt into shape. :P As in make it smaller....and this gut. I want to fit into my summer capris! Oy vey. So my goal is to find a class, and convince Sam to go w/me. ;) That should be easy cuz she wants to work out too....though she doesn't need to. :P Damn that young people's metabolism. ;) I miss eating whatever I want........

My sweet tooth dessert has been Jello w/Fat Free Cool Whip. Fat Free ALL the way....

We have my sis, bil, and niece coming for a 5 days or so. Guess what? Our groceries budget is only $150 to feed all of us. SO it's time to get creative w/cheap food. Plus I gotta try to fix our big air mattress, cuz for some reason it leaks air......and I don't know where......

Here's Gan in his cute hats. :P

Wallpaper of the day...Friday.

This wallpaper is called Utopia Land. Can you see why? Rainbows, and blue skies! Love all around! White clouds and butterflies! Birds and sunshine!

Don't understand the stars really. :P

Wallpaper of the day....Thursday.

Castle! I was just thinking "Gee I'd like to see a castle up close and personal." So on that thought here is the wallpaper of the day!

I especially like the castle's reflection in the water. BEAUTIFUL!

Gan's Sleeping Habits.

Up and down. Up and down......Oy vey.

Gan was on a good sleep schedule, and this week he's decided to go against everything we've been training him to do. :P

We didn't even have to sleep train him much. The cry out method wasn't even used, becuz he was going right to bed. I thought it was odd he was going down so easily. Now he's decided to put up a fight at bedtime. What's hard is his bedroom is what we walk thru to get to our bedroom. So it's pretty hard to block out his crying, especially since Todd has to get up at 4:15am. So this week has been a challenge. We need to get him moved into the other room as soon as it warms up!

I miss his going to bed at 8pm, waking up between 5-6 for a snack, and then goin' right back to bed for a couple more hours. Oh Gan WHY go against this now?!?!?! *sighs* ;)

Last night he fell asleep at 8:30pm. Got up around 1am cuz he kicked off his covers and was chilly. Went back to sleep maybe around 1:40ish. Got up again around 4:15am cuz Todd was stomping thru his room. Went back to sleep around 4:45am. Got up AGAIN at 5:45am for a snack. Went back to bed around 6:15 and slept til 8am. It was a rocky night.

Plus! He's not easily goin' down for his naps anymore! He'll take mini naps thru the day. Only sleeping around an hour at a time. Stinker. I was readin' a book Jac gave me and it said that was pretty normal, so I'm not too worried about that.

We're havin' company soon, so we'll have 2 crying babies.....cuz I'm afraid mine will wake up the other. :P

On a better note Gan likes Green Beans as well as Carrots. Mmmmm...mushy veggie slop.

Gan is also today deciding that when mommy leaves the room it is horrid! "nooooo, pick me up! pick me up!" It's just one of those days.....

Gan likes his exersaucer!

Wallpaper of the day--Tuesday

Wallpaper of the day is a row of beautiful, colorful houses in a tropical setting.

I would kill to own one of these abodes.

Very Vibrant!

Wallpaper of the day.....

I have a favorite wallpaper site. It has hundreds of fabulous wallpaper for one's desktop. Here is what is on my desktop today.

A Four Day Weekend...

Todd had a four day weekend. The ups and downs.......

Todd needs to get out of gaming mode. I was in Iowa too long perhaps. He'll just jump on the stupid computer and play his game til I yell at him to get off. Hello! Baby needs fed! Help me w/shit! :P Good thing we had this four day weekend, cuz that shit stopped fast. :) Mean ol' wifey I am.....

We had a lovely discussion, and he began to understand. It seems his mind just couldn't comprehend why I was getting upset. So in the end the weekend ended just fine. That's a lot of "ends" in that sentence.....

Guess what??? Saturday Todd took the baby to a friend's house for 4 hours! I was home alone! What did I do w/my time? I was brain dead. It seems I have forgotten what I liked doing by myself. How sad is that? I'd lost who I was as an individual for the moment, cuz I'm getting used to just being "mom". This is what I did: Ate a sandwich. Played a couple games online. Cleaned the house. Talked on the phone. Watched the Style network. Almost took a nap. Wanted Todd and Gan to come back......:P I got bored. AFTER they got back I was thinking "well, I could've read my book, worked on my scrapbook, and did a scrapblog." DOH!

I think James Earl Jones is the announcer on the Inauguration. Or a sports announcer....

Also during the 4 day Todd and I took baby for a walk twice. We have this doo-hickey thing you strap on yourself and carry the baby infront of you so he can look around. It was funny, cuz Gan would kick his feet during the walk as if to say "GO FASTER!" The second walk we took Lady as well. Our little family walk was refreshing, and quite the "kodak" moment. :P

Todd and I are addicted to Game Show Network. So many gameshows! So little time!

More tomorrow........
