I'm jealous!!!

So every few days I check up on a few of my "must read" blogs.....Jen and Cheryl. Well I noticed that their baby tickers are dropping daily and mine seems to be at a stand still....well that is how I feel.

Tomorrow is June 1st and it is hotter that heck here in Seattle, yes Seattle, and I am dieing. All this week it is supposed to be in the upper 70's and it is like upper 80's for me. I need a pool!!! Cheryl I am moving to NY for the summer and camping out in your backyard and eating those snowcones. Crazy that I have been craving those too and I can hear the stupid ice cream truck but he NEVER comes down were we live. I think I am going to go to Target and buy a snowcone machine and make them myself. Ahh... the things I have to go thru to make me happy.

My "honey do list" is getting bigger everyday. I don't know if it is nesting or what but I swear Mark is going to get a 2nd job just so he doesn't have to come home and work. We organized our shed this weekend and finished Colins room so those were two big things to cross off the list. Well I wouldn't say that I helped organize but more of a "put that here and put that there, and no that doesn't go there"....Thanks Mark!!

Colins bedroom is completely done and he is now a official big boy. I wasn't in any hurry to get him in his new bedroom until July/August but Mark was very ansy about it. I think he was more excited than I was and that made it easier to keep buying stuff to decorate his room. I didn't get any no's on my shopping trips. Yay for me!! Colin is sleeping is his new bed, with Elmo, and we have now encountered the getting up and running down the hallway routine. Seriously, we put him in is bed at least 8 times last night. It seems to be easier when we go to bed then he doesn't want to be apart of the excitement of watching a movie or helping clean...or whatever we have to get done in those preciuos moments we have to ourselves.

More good news...I am feeling our baby girl move more often now and haven't been as sick as I have been in the past (knock on wood). Hopefully that is past me now and I can get thru these next 3 1/2 months that I have left. Mark starts his new job on Monday at some company downtown Bellevue. Hopefully he will get paid this time :) He is really excited about it and hopefully it will be less stress on him..plus I think he will get home earlier, I can only wish!

Oh and we got a new car...goodbye Audi hello family SUV. I was so sad when the day came when I had to say goodbye to my love, Tom (my car was named after Tom Brady from the Patriots, cuz he is so hot!). We got a Honda Pilot, which I love now, but hard to say goodbye to my fun car. I even cried driving off the lot and Mark thought I was nervous about driving a big car and nope I was sad cuz I left me friend behind. It has been nice having a bigger car though. We can actually go to Home Depot and purchase something and bring it home. Does that mean I can go get a bigger TV since I can bring it home.....hmmm....

4:30am.....really??

So our new rollout (project) at work starts April 13th. We have our test stores starting out right now and with a start time of 4:30am. Really?? I can't barely wake up at 5:30am to be to work by 7am. To look on the brightside....I get off early and can spend more time with Colin..naptime :)
Why can't I be rich and not have to work so I can sleep in until 7am....what a life....

Update!!

FYI.... I accomplished my goals for this week!!!

1. I, well Mark, took pictures of Colin this weekend. High five for Mark!!

2. I took all my pills that I supposed to take and didn't forget any...high five for me!!

3. I went to bed every night, well with the exception of Saturday night, see #4 for reason, at 10pm...before 11pm.

and 4. The watched a movie and stayed awake....the whole entire movie. I watched "Twilight" and loved it (thank goodness I read the books awhile ago so I forgot some of it). So I was up until after 11pm and I sure Mark was shocked because I usually fall asleep the first 15 minutes and he gets to listen to my snores!!

So yay for me and my accomplishments. Also one more thing since I am gloating right now....I did 5 loads of laundry and finished ALL LOADS by last night. YAY!!!!

Now I gotta learn how to make dinner for the family. New post, new explanations, and new goals. Can't keep eating at Mom's and having my little sister and mom feel sorry for the cooking challenged sister. How does take-out sound for dinner tonight?!?!?!? Just kidding..well kinda...

Thank you

I don't know if you every read my blog and that is okay if you don't because you are so busy all the time. I just wanted to let you know how thankful I am to have you as my husband. To come home last night after a long day and hear the vacuum going and the kitchen cleaned, the garbage taken out and the rooms ready for bed (heaters on and night lights glowing!) and not to have even asked you really made me feel loved and special. Especially since you left for work at 7am and didn't get home until almost 9pm. I know I have been REALLY REALLY lazy and not feeling that greatest and your weekends are spent hanging out on the couch watching endless dvr recordings of Rachel Ray and all my crazy reality TV shows....I really do appreciate you. You never complain and never get mad, you just do it.
Colin and I are very blessed to have you in our lives and so is this new little baby on their way into our crazy little family!!
I love you

What bad parents we are!!

Well I just put the little tyrant down to bed....he was in a mood today. I am sitting here listening to him bang his name against the wall, aka his letters on his walls spelling his name. It is a nightly ritual of his and plus I am too lazy to take them down ;)
So as I am surfing the web and checking my long list of unread email I decided to take a look into the recent pictures we have taken of Colin. And low and behold the last picture we have taken of him was in Florida in JANUARY!!!! I am horrible!!! I never have charged batteries and half the time can't even find the camera in time to take "that" picture before the moment is lost. Mark even bought me a video camera for Christmas almost 2 years ago so that we could catch all those funny moments on tape. Umm ya don't have those either.
So goals for this week (and thank goodness it is half way over..hehehe):

1. Start taking more pictures and video
2. Remember to take my prenatal pill, unisom and B6 every night to avoid the nasty morning sickness the next day
3. Go to bed BEFORE 11pm...and actually be asleep
and finally
4. Watch a movie this weekend with Mark without falling asleep the first 15 minutes into the movie!!!

Hopefully I will have an update next week, with proof (pictures), of my accomplishments. Stay tuned!!

Since I am part of your morning routine.....

here is a quote that I really like and I wanted to share it with you.

"People become really quite remarkable when they start thinking that they can do things. When they believe in themselves they have the first secret of success."

- Norman Vincent Peale

Have a great day :)

The beach!!

Can't wait until he is bigger so he can really enjoy this marvelous creation....I love the beach and I love the summer and I can't wait for road trips to the ocean where Colin can run around like a crazy boy ;)
