I've been having myself a little pity party the last couple days, yes, i know it's ridiculous but they have honestly sucked. Two flat tires, baby busted her face at daycare, she hasn't slept that great, peed the bed (on me lastnight), she was in our bed because we had no electricity and of course, all flashlights had no batteries and I wasn't about to be in the pitch black with her not beside me, i just started a load of laundry when it went out, we ran out of milk and that's what she cried for...that, and "my jack", and to top it off, I miss Oklahoma and I have no friends here, makes for a very boring day. I work all weekend and i'm not looking forward to it, they have moved me floors, which isn't that terrible but atleast let me know that you've hired someone full time in my position, I haven't left for maternity leave yet! I promise, I'm almost done with my rant.
On another note, I feel like I only see my husband ever now and then, in between phone calls and texts messages when he gets home from work all day. I try not to complain about it but when you sit at home all day with a 2 year old and have no one to call to ask to go to the park, mall, or lunch with it gets to me. I can't remember the last time husband and I hung out alone, I know we went to the movie last month one time, which was nice but sometimes hanging out with just him makes me happy. Before last month, it was November, yes, NOVEMBER, I have a hard time having sympathy for people that complain about not getting date nights or free time because i really don't. It's weird though, I wouldn't trade my days with my princess for anything it just gets lonely sometimes. And I should add, I am very thankful for all my husband does for our family...I just like seeing him more than a few minutes a day!
On to happier things, like our baby boy! We are going for another 4D ultrasound on Tuesday. I am very excited about that. The first one he wasn't very cooperative with, we only saw his little face a couple times which looks just like Peyton's pictures! I think he'll look like her. I day dream about what he'll really look like alot. He is going to have the CUTEST room, I just don't have a room for him. Poor little guy. This time with Peyton she was ready to go, minus the continuous clothes buying I did and still do for her. I really have to dig to find things for him, although Carter's on the boardwalk has really cute comfy stuff that I've got him. I need to raid my nephew's baby clothes. He's the best dressed little boy ever!
Anyway, I better get going. You know the usual, laundry, dishes, vacuuming, and my kitchen seriously needs to be mopped. But right now, Peyton has other plans, currently I am wearing a bib and she is doing my hair. If i move, she says "shit" which means sit in her tiny little language. So that's what I do. After all, she is the boss. Oh, and someday i'll add pictures and make this page pretty but can't find the time right now.
ok. just shit back and take a deep breath. ok. now, move back to oklahoma! jack cries for pey pey every day. he sorts through his toys and sets aside special toys he wants pey pey to have. he wants to give her his can of strawberry milk stuff. these kids are funny.
ReplyDeletei have friends here but i promise, i know what you mean. my friends are mostly single without kids so even when they have time to do something, they don't call me or anything. it's just me and jack all day, every day. of course, being so close to your parents, jack usually stays with them 1 night a week which is a total lifesaver- but then your brother will go golfing instead of doing something with me! haha and then i'm all alone- again- but this time i don't even have my chicken to keep me company! it's so frustrating. hopefully in time we'll be able to figure out the secret to a balanced life. also, peyton is more than welcome to come stay with us for a weekend (or a week!) if you guys want to have time for movies and dates and dinners out. jack would love it! i didn't want jack to go to alabama because i knew i'd miss him- but it was really good for blake and i to have date nights and not have to worry about diapers and bedwetting!
