One more work week down, one great weekend to look forward to

This week went by pretty fast, like most weeks.   Tuesday was mom’s birthday, so that was a weird day.  Rylan has been very grumpy and sleepy all week and it drove me crazy not know what was wrong, but thanks to Marla, I now know that he has 3 teeth coming in.  I had thought that was the problem but I kept feeling in the back where his molars were, little did I know they were up in front!  So now that I know what the problem is, maybe I can treat it!

Tomorrow is Valentine’s Day, so Happy V-day to everyone.  Last Valentine’s day was really the last time I saw and talked to my mom fully coherent.  Not really a good way to think of Valentine’s day huh?  Oh well, I’m thankful I could spent a little of my day with her last year.

We plan on trying to remodel our house soon. I’m very excited about that, it sure needs a face lift.  And it will help us when we decide to sell it.  I just dread all the work, but it will be worth it in the long run.  So we get to pick out paint and flooring, sounds like fun.

Something weird, in the past month there have been 4 people, well…’beings’ (3 people, 1 very sweet dog) that I know, pass away.  It’s just been really crazy lately.

This isn’t really a recent thing but sometimes I can’t help but notice how everyone is different.  Different ways of dealing with things, different opinions, different thoughts.  Sometimes it can be frustrating I think but other times its really interesting.  When I would handle one thing this way, some of my friends may handle it another, and with very good reason.  It’s just fun sometimes to see it. I guess a lot of it is how you were raised.  A lot of times you may think just how your parents do because they taught you to think that way.  Anyway, just something I thought I would throw in there!

Welp, I hope everyone has a great Valentine’s Day and weekend!

Blues

I don’t blog as much because I don’t really have anything to talk about.  My life isn’t boring by any means, I mean I have so much going on that I can’t keep steady on my feet sometimes.  But of all the things going on, it’s nothing to really talk about in detail on here.  I feel like I don’t have time to be myself and it really bothers me.  I don’t have time to do the things I like to do like take pictures, play with my son, scrapbook, read, anything like that.  It’s like I’ve lost who I am and I desperately want to get that back. Within the past 3-4 weeks, its been all about mamaw.  She was in the hospital for 2 weeks and every night I was there to visit and see what was going on.  Every night I just really wanted to go home and see my family but I knew that I needed to be at the hospital.  Now she is in the nursing home temporarily and I’m trying to get a schedule going so I don’t have to be there every night after work.  But even though I’m not there, there are other things going on, something I need to sign, papers I need to deliver, mail that needs to be checked, clothes that need to be washed so I can take them back the next day, insurance problems…..I could seriously go on.  So even though some nights I can go home and relax, I don’t because I’m constantly thinking and worrying.  That has become my life.  That is how I’ve been for the past year.  Always running, ALWAYS.  Since I’ve been that way for so long, its hard to not be that way.  Like if I have a few minutes to sit on the couch and watch TV, I feel like I need to get up and do something that needs to be done.

On a little bit lighter note, Rylan can say NO now.  As of now its usually just when he doesn’t want to eat something.  He is going through this phase where he doesn’t want to be fed from a spoon.  This drives me nuts cause I can’t think of things to feed him that he can eat by himself.  He hasn’t taken much interest in feeding himself with a spoon so until then, I need to come up with other things.  So if any of you out there know some ideas, spread the mommy knowledge!  I don’t have any new pictures of the little monster but hope to get some soon.  He gives hugs and eskimo kisses now, that’s my favorite!  Even though I don’t want him to grow up, its fun to see him learn and do new things.

The weather has been crazy this week.  They may have called schools off but they haven’t called Stonemill off!  I want it to snow to where we’re stuck and can’t go to work.  That way I wouldn’t have to try to find somebody to watch Rylan (by the way, thank you Connie for keeping him, don’t know what I’d do without you!) and I could stay at home with him myself.  But it looks like this weekend will be much like last weekend, warmer and sunny.  It was nice to shed the jacket for a couple days.

It's February...not a good month for me.
