Been A Few Months. . .

So I dropped the blogging ball for several months.  Having a little one wake you 4x a night and trying to fit reading, spousal time, hobbies and the like it had me placing the blog on the back burner.  Then I hated the whole design of my site but whenever I tried to edit it, I was given an error code and basically told by blogspot and my browsers to step away from the computer before my temper got the better of me and tossed the precious laptop across the room.  There is so much time that has passed but so little has happened too.  Biggest thing of course is all the growing and learning Addie has done and she turned 1.  I love that kid so very much.

I wish I could say at this point that my next blog post wont be in a few months but sadly I can not promise that.

Sleep Deperivation

Addie is up all night and I am feeling like a zombie.  I am hoping this is just a phase.  It doesn't help that she usually is awake by 7am.  I don't function these days until 10am.  I have been spending my zombie time spacing out to the show Weeds.  I am watching all the season on demand.  The thought of leaving the house is such a chore.  One day she will sleep several hours straight. . . someday.


Watched the documentary "BABIES" last night on demand and was a bit disappointed.  I don't quite know what I was hoping for but I felt like it missed the mark.  I really wish they had noted how many months old the babies were when it went along so I could compare developmental milestones but oh well.  


Now Baby Signing Time Volume 1 DVD is playing in the background and I swear the tunes are very catching. . .too catching.  I am singing along right now.  I can't stop.  I want to stop.


Oh I hope to get better sleep so very soon.

Really Distrubing

 I just read this article on yahoo: Iris Scanners


It scares the crap out of me and disturbs me.  I in no way want something like this.  It scares me to know end.  I really hate how he talks about how great for marketing this will be.  Like hell I want to be monitored just so some company can figure out how better to get money out of me.  I will go live in some remote town if need be.  Don't want it and would fight it if I needed to.

I said I would

I said I would make her her baby food.  Fresh food that we know what is in it.  I have been doing it for almost 2 months now.  It is freaking annoying.  I am almost ready to cave in and buy the already made food.  The last few times I make it, it comes out like soup!  She could drink the damn stuff.  So friggin frustrating.

Where I Confess

I am a horrible writer and I don't mean in the grammatical sense either.  Granted, I suck in that department too.  I have been exhausted of late because Addie is not sleeping well at night and she was doing so good for one week and then she got her shot and everything went back down hill.  Some nights she wakes twice, others it is three times.  I have tried CIO and had some success a few months ago but I believe she is really hungry and CIO is not going to stop her from being hungry.  She can't focus on eating during the day because there is too much else to do and see so I think she is making up for it at night.  I am only feeding solids twice a day and don't really want to introduce lunch until 8 months if possible but we will have to see.  She might just need it.  Maybe a snack and not lunch is what I will do.  I can tell you I am getting tired of making the food or shall I say the needing to think ahead to prep it.  Like I want to start her on pears, but I don't have any and need to go buy some and then make it into a puree and then test it on her in the morning and then and then and then.  Yeah, this is where my mind goes on this little sleep.  Last night was rough.  I wouldn't mind feeding her once a night so I will hope we get there again.  


Another confession:  Instead of posting I have been spending my spare time reading.  I didn't think I would enjoy it but I am and so it is very difficult for me to sit here typing when the book beckons me.


The Many Lives & Secret Sorrows of Josephine B.


I highly recommend.  It is written like a diary and so of course you want to read someone's diary.


Off to sing-a-long to Baby Signing Time Volume 1 DVD  I swear she is in love with it.  She can't help but go silent when she hears the music start.

Questions of the Day

Do people who use cloth diapers also have reusable toilet paper for themselves?

Separate  comment: I was never good at keeping a diary as a kid.  I am starting to see a pattern with blogs too.  I don't know why I fall off the wagon when it comes to writing.  I get a burst and can write every day then sometimes I can go weeks without a word.

Vacation

I have been at my parent's house since Monday and really am enjoying my time.  Hubby is back home enjoying some alone time but is working during the day.  Having hard time concentrating on anything other than relaxing with my family.  I got a haircut that looks awesome or at least did when the stylist did it but I can't seem to get it to look as great as she did.  I think I need a new flat iron.  I also bought myself a new camera: Nikon Coolpix P100 Digital Camera (Matte Black), 10.3 Megapixel, 26x, 26-678mm Equivalent Nikkor Zoom, Up to 10fps @ Full Resolution, 3.0" LCD, Deluxe Carrying Case, 8 GB Memory Card, Card Reader, Lens Cleaning Kit, & Tripod


Only not that package.  I am trying to figure out how to take awesome photos with it but not sure I ever will be able to. 


This is what has been going on and I just can't think of writing anything in-depth.
