What an exciting weekend!
Oh, wait, never mind, there was nothing exciting about this weekend.
I love you, but, I've had my fill
I hung out with my parents and got my fill for a few days. I'm more of an independent person than they realize. It's nothing personal, it's just that I'm 26, married, and a Mommy. I have two other people to please and am the middle-woman in this whole set-up. I have a lot of pleasing to do. In the madness, I often forget to make myself happy.
I would love some structure to my day but I also love being a full-time Mommy. It is honestly the most challenging job I have ever had. My beautiful little girl is crawling and getting into everything, and trying to pull up to stand using anything she can find (which happens to be Allen's XBOX360).
The gym, my alone time, all I have
Tonight is exercise night, although Mondays might have to no longer be an exercise night. First, the gym is busiest on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Secondly, For the Love of Ray-J, I Love Money and now Greek are all on tv. That is one good night of television. I need 2-3 days off per week, one of them may as well be Monday!
Bath time fail
I purchased Alana one of those blow up duckie tubs because she is getting too big for her blue plastic tub. I filled the bath with water and California Baby bubbles and placed her in it, with a toy, expecting her to splash and sing in delight. She started bawling and trying to get out of the tub! I drained the tub and gave her the quickest bath I have ever given her.
Stranger Danger
It's about that time- she's developed stranger danger. She was never really the type of baby to be all "hey, random stranger, you should totally hold me!" but now it's gotten worse. Folks, we have entered stranger danger. She screams and cries when I'm not around. It's nothing personal, she's just recognizing faces and growing up.
Her little friend, Aden, is completely the opposite. He's like "a stranger is a friend you've never met, let's hang out."
First birthday party
It's hard to plan her first birthday party when you don't really know where you'll be living. Or if you'll have a job. Or if you'll have the money to fund it. I'd love to have a big ridiculous party, but the future is unknown.
