Why Is Everyone In My Room?

When Johnny married me he got me and a very spoiled shih tzu named Holly. Holly is much more of a cat than a dog and she thinks she's my baby. She also thinks that the nursery is her room. She enjoys lounging in there when she's not in her "cave" under the TV. So with that being said, she was very excited when we brought her a rocking chair for her to sleep on and today she was very excited that we finally set her up a real people bed. Except, she can't get in it. And her baby is in it. She'd like to to know what the hell is going on. Why is everyone in her room tonight using her chair and her new bed. The answer is tonight is PB's first night in her own room. She had a blast playing in her big crib earlier today and I think she'll love sleeping on a more comfortable mattress. She's sleeping most if the night and she'll be grown out of her tiny crib in no time. I'm looking forward to getting a little normality back into our bedroom and having a place that isn't baby based. Honestly, it's killing me. I just want to sit in there and watch her sleep. What if she gets scared and needs me? What if she gets too warm? Or even less likely, what if she gets to cold? And the biggest question is, what if I'm just not ready? I'm sure she is. That kid can sleep anywhere. I've made sure of it. She has been held by every family member and sleeps through getting passed around like a little doll. She's safely swaddled and seems quite content. We'll just see what the rest of the night brings. God forbid I might actually sleep well tonight.

A Quick Update

Well, it's been awhile but I'm really trying to learn as much as possible about this whole network marketing thing and how to balance it with being a mom and wife. I give myself a B-/C+. My house is a little more messy but PB and the Texan don't seem to be any worse for wear. PB is such a joy to be around so if I do have time to get any form of work done she is distracting me with how fast she is growing. Yesterday Princess Peanut Butter stood up out of her little chair and took four tiny steps before she sat down on the floor! I had tears in my eyes as I watched this little miracle unfold. She amazes me constantly. She says mama, dada, and something that sounds like my dog. She has completely weaned herself from breast feeding, which is a bit bitter sweet. As soon as she found out she could drink out of her own cup she has to do just that. She loves to lounge in her little chair in the morning and watch her daddy get ready for work. She also REFUSES to have any help whe...

Late Night Rambles

I don't sleep well at night. Maybe it has something to do with me not being able to get up in the morning or maybe I can't get up in the morning because I don't sleep well at night. I usually go to bed with him but I can never seem to go to sleep. I always seem to lay awake listening to him snore. Man, he seems to sleep so soundly and goes to sleep so effortlessly. I laid beside him tonight after I had taken a long hot shower until I knew for sure he was sound asleep. I wanted to write. I wanted a cigarette. I wanted another drink. When I got out of bed I checked on the little one then put on the clothes I was wearing earlier. Honestly, I've been wearing them for a couple days. They're pretty dirty but I just don't care sometimes. I need to do laundry tomorrow. I miss my washer and dryer. I could be doing laundry right now instead of having to wait until everything fits perfectly into a schedule. I hear my neighbors running up the stairs in the apartment behind...

It's Called Foreshadowing For A Reason

As I've said before, Johnny and I ended up at my brother's at the same time last year. While chatting with Granny earlier today a story popped into my head I haven't thought of in quite awhile. A little background info, if you will: My brother and Wife have a little boy, Zeke, and this little boy loves his Uncle Johnny. Uncle Johnny has been uncle for way longer than we've been together. I like to joke that I had to marry back into my own family and the only way to do that was marry Johnny. It is quite interesting to go to the bar with my brother because he always introduces Johnny first as his brother, then me as his sister, then Johnny and I as married. And on to my tale: When I first saw Johnny play with Zeke the thought popped in my head about how wonderful he would be with his own children. Then I wondered why he wasn't married like the rest of his Marine brothers and who would the lucky girl eventually be. I really never thought it would be me. I was so m...
