I can't take another thing...

Ok well I probably could but please don't give me another one. This move is going to kill me or make me bald and I am leaning towards the killing since I have texas big hair today.

So the air is still broke in the new place, there is trash every where and it looks like such a dump. BUT it is bigger than were we are now and it is just temporary while we build the other house. I am so greatfull to have this place to go to so we can sell this house now.

As for this house...it isn't even 1/2 packed and I just can't get it started to where it seems like I even make a dent in it. I am sooooo overwhelmed it isn't funny. I don't know where to start. I am going to sit down right now and make a list of how to get things done! Please let it happen that easily.

Trailer Trash here I come...

Well at the last minute we are moving out of our house. We thought we had time to sell it but it was so hard to find somewhere to put our stuff that didn't cost a pretty penny. So we found a new place which means moving so this one can be sold pronto! So the next few days are going to be hell!!!

I am working like mad to get ahead on my swaps so I can send them out and not worry for at least a week but ahhhhhh

the illness has ended

Wow back to back I have been sick and it has been so draining. I haven't been able to do anything but sleep. Thank God for my parents otherwise I would never have the chance to recover. Their help with Ethan is priceless.

So I am now stressing because I am behind on like 5 swaps AGHHHHH! I finished one last night and have three to mail today. I should finish another two today and then sort of be caught up. By Monday I should be back on track.

I busted my butt yesterday trying to get caught up again on packing this house and getting it ready to show. I finished the kitched except for sweeping and mopping as that is J's job. Today I plan to stack the boxes and call about storage spaces. I also plan to clean up my make-shift craft table, aka the dining room table.

Off to a fun day!

I SLEPT!!!

ok so it was only for 4 hours but it was before 5 am and it was good! Oh remember the days when you were young and you thought staying up all night was fun? What the hell was I thinking? I was asleep around 3:45 and didn't wake up until around 8:30 am when Ethan woke up. I could have even gone back to sleep but of course this is the morning where my little sunshine wants to play and poop first thing in the morning. Any other day he will go back to sleep till 9:30-10. But that is ok cause he is soooo cute I can't resist him.

Today Ethan and I are having lunch with friends that I haven't seen since E was about 2 mos old. A consequence of PP, not seeing them that is. Just couldn't visit then or their little girl. Luckily they seem to be pretty understanding and happy that I am getting back to normal. Nice when people miss you, although it is so rare for me LOL!

Busy day

Ethan and I had sooo much fun today. Although Ethan went back to bed this morning till 10 Mommy stayed up and did some packing and emailing. Then we went to a play group with other Mommies and babies and we had a BLAST!! For a child that is usually the life of the party, Ethan was so quiet and just took all the other babies in. He did swipe a few toys LOL but mostly just watched everyone. Then as if that wasn't enough we went to another play group but this one was a class about sign language for babies at a play center. We had so much fun he fell asleep right there in my arms with all the babies and other children playing and screaming.

I am so proud of myself. I not only got up early but also did some housework and still managed to take Ethan out for some fun. I am so happy tonight I feel like I am floating. Today was a huge day for me in accomplishing the road back to the real Amy. For the first time in a long time I am looking forward to tomorrow.

On another note, I am a die-hard believer in teaching babies to sign. Ethan has been able to sign milk since he was 5 months and let me just try to explain the frustration it has saved us. He now uses the same sign for eat in general and it makes it so easy to know what he wants to make him happy. I honestly believe that the reason he is always happy is because I am able to understand him through his signs and cries. He is the most content and independent child I know but not with a nasty attitude (then it would have been me LOL). I think that any that interacts with an infant should know the basic signs to not only teach them but also to be able to understand the children that already know the signs.

I need sleep

I am still having trouble sleeping. Ethan is such a good boy and goes to sleep by 9:40 and sleeps till around 8am. But the Mom, can't sleep at all. At 6am this morning I was still awake! I will be so happy when this part ends. Luckily Jason came home early from work and watched Ethan at around 11am so I could sleep till 12:30.

I am meeting Janelle and her son to exercise today. This is a huge thing since I am going out without anyone forcing me!!! I am very excited and looking forward to having some interaction with another Mom.

Ethan started crawling yesterday. I can't believe he is that big already!

A new start

The past several months I have been dealing with post partum. I am now feeling as if a new begining is happening for me and what a better way to start than with a blog! So that everyone can read all about my dirty laundry. Eventually this will contain my scrapbooking accomplishments daily, some pics and I am sure it will include moments of when I think my hubby is a dork but otherwise he is perfect.
