couldnt remember the last time i posted anything in here.....
one of the many things i dont have time for now. haha!
so i read my last couple entries.....right at the beginning of mommyhood. man...was that rough times. i can honestly say it has gotten exponentially better/easier/more rewarding. Jason is a THOUSAND times more involved with everything now. i am getting housework/cooking done again, and that makes both of us feel better. we are also getting WAY more "us" time. the baby sleeps through the night, from 830pm-7ish. so when we put him to sleep, we hang out on the couch and watch tv shows together (greys, house, lost, and tudors). that has been pivotal in restoring my sanity. when he has days off (which he just had his first 7 day!) we go places, coz traveling with D is easy now. all you have to do is plan around his naps and bring a thermos with hot water and the diaper bag. he naps twice (at least) during the day for 2 hours each. he is a FANTASTIC sleeper. he really is a totally easy good natured baby, and i am very lucky. jason likes spending time with him too, and i have to admit he is a lot more fun than when he was first born. he gets cuter every day, and is always doing something new. he has two teeth now, can roll over, smile, laughs on occasion, and loves to play with toys and make hilarious noises. he hangs out in his bouncer alot so i can get stuff done during the day. i love him to pieces, and am happy with the way our family has adjusted to fit its newest wee member.
i am also regaining a little of my identity. or perhaps just growing more comfortable with my new one. i have been able to have alot more ME time. the first few months, the only time i got to be myself was in the shower. i took REALLY long showers. haha. but now, i've been able to go out and jas babysits, and we are going on vacation to boston this weekend and wormtown the next, while my mom babysits. it has been good for me to see that my former self is still around and not permanently put on the shelf. every couple weeks all my friends come up and we go to the red door bar in greenfield, and just get smashed and have fun. its been nice. jas has been out a few times too.....i think its good for both of us to see that fun has not ended. adult fun i mean.
i have an online shopping addiction. i have discovered a completely different style of clothing than i used to wear, and it suits me 100%. i love it. its not juniors clothing for once. i am growing up, but i dont wanna look like a "mom" either. im not frumpy. unfortunately, the brands i love are WAY more expensive than i will ever be able to afford (read---i want giftcards to anthropologie for xmas!) so ebay has become my bestie. i've found amazing deals on there......stuff that costs hundreds of dollars for TEN DOLLARSSSS. which makes me want to get it all. but the good thing is, i am selling off all my old stuff to make money for it, and make room. soon i will have all new clothes, and all my old clothes will have paid for it. pretty sweet. occasionally i pay full price for something not on ebay though, and thats what needs to stop.
i miss alissa. (and paula.) i fucking hate school season. i cant wait til may when liss moves in. me and jas talk about it all the time. its funny (and perhaps a little sad) how often sentences start with "when alissa moves in" haha. i just hate knowing i wont see her hardly at all now that school started, coz she cant REALLY stay over, and works weekends. *sigh* oh well. may isnt that far (which is CRAZY TO ME coz it means D is nearly a year old!!!!) and we will find a nice place to live by then. i cant WAIT to get out of the shithole that is our apartment. i wish desperately that the plant would get relicensed so we could just start looking at houses. they are so cheap right now!!! *grumbles*
well.....i really need to stop screwing around online, feed D and put him down for a nap, and clean the house some. dishes and vacuuming at least. ugh and i need to cut up a watermelon. i hate everything about fruit, including preparing it. just saying. tedious. *whine* okay really am going. chores and all. blehhhhhh.
shit, wally's stupid fucking devil cat is here.....wonder how he'll do with vacuuming.
