Why, hello.

I know, I know. I have sadly neglected my blog. But, here’s the thing– I don’t have a nanny. I don’t have a personal chef to prepare my meals (unless, you count fast food chains. Then yes, I’m all taken care of.) I have a baby who is phasing out his naps during the day. So, in the end, something falls, and something gets neglected. That, my lovies, was you. Now, now- don’t get your undies in a wad. I’m gonna do a couple of quick updates, and then we will return to our regularly scheduled programming.

So, when I left you last week, Blake had just had a great checkup from the doctor. Little man is doing so well… We have now slept 12+ nights, without waking up. Can I hear a Hallelujah from the choir?! Of course, he is still sleeping with me, but it’s monumentous in my books. I finally feel like I can rest. Except…

I am having problems sleeping. I put Blake to sleep, and then write or surf the internet for hours upon hours. Or, just stare out the window, or listen to Blake’s even breathing. My friend Kris has recommended taking Melatonin, which hopefully will work. I have always had problems falling asleep, but have resisted ever taking a sleeping pill of any kind. The fact that it’s all natural, and WORKS, appeals to me.

Ailane had Girl Scout camp last weekend, and has another Softball Tournament this weekend. It’s all drama, all the time around here. She has me wanting to beat my head in the wall, because of the constant crying and whining. I keep telling myself, it WILL get better. It will, right?

Jason has been busy on the yard, and the pool. He travels to Philadelphia for business next week, and then he will return home, to work remotely. Always. I’m finally getting used to having him around. But, there are times, that I need him to leeeeaaave the house. My motivation goes out the window, when I see him lounging in bed, on his computer. I’m going to have to figure out a way to do my things around the house, while he is here working from home.

Capone the wonder dog ate my hamburger Sunday night. I’m still ticked off about it. I was craving a hamburger in such a bad way, partly because I have been expecting my period for days now. I was nauseus last week, and Jason had me freaked out that I was possibly pregnant. So, I took a test, which was negative. For the first time ever, I was relieved. I want Blake to have a year to himself, without any pregnancy related symptoms. Anyway, back to Capone- he ate my hamburger. Damn dog. I left the room for a second, and while I was out, he took my hamburger off of my plate, and scarfed it down. He’s been shedding his winter coat, leaving copious amounts of black hair coating every surface. I sucked up an entire canister of fur in the Dyson yesterday; just from our bedroom alone.

What am I forgetting? Oh yeah, the guinea pig. Hamilton. When Ailane left town, I had to take care of that thing. Remind me again, why does a pig live in my house? Oh yes, I am a sucker when it comes to saying no to certain moody little girls.
