Its Monday...sigh....

Do you ever wish there was a pause or slow motion button on life? I sure do! The weeks go by faster and faster. Libby will be 20 weeks tomorrow! ARe u kidding me? That is nuts! The weekend went by so fast as always. It was productive! I got cpr certified, returned a belt I had been needing to return for like 4 weeks, tanned (first time in 2 weeks), we made a trip to Lowes, and Target to get some formula (which went on sale the next day : (....). I also went with mom and dad Saturday night to get Libby her fall and winter clothes. On Sunday we went to church and had friends over for dinner and had a great time and now it is Monday again. Well I am super excited about this coming weekend because Brandon is taking Friday off and we will have a four day weekend together! Cant wait!!!

Count Your Blessings...Name them one by one......

Gotta love that old hymn. Glad to say I go to a church now where hymns arent all we sing. Don't get me wrong I like hymns but not singing them all the time. That hymn has an awesome message! Well although this has been a rough month I have so much to be thankful for. I am truly blessed. Sometimes I get to the point I almost feel guilty for being so blessed. I know I shouldnt but I do. The main thing is that I am very thankful for what I have and I thank God for my blessings everyday. Here are a few of my many blessings:
1) Brandon- A husband that is very loving and caring and so hardworking. He comes home tired and still jumps right in and helps around the house and with Libby. I am so lucky to have him. He is awesome! I love him!!
2) This poop diaper that I am getting a wiff of right now- Yes, I am very blessed and thankful that I have a healthy baby girl that I can change her poo diapers.
3) Great parents- I have awesome christian parents that are very loving and supportive. Don't know what I would do with out them!
4) Chocolate milk- Chocolate milk is like my coffee. I have to have it every morning to function and I am very blessed to have my chocolate milk in my pantry every day.
5) House- Brandon and I have a beautiful house that is very special because it is his grandparents old house. We have a warm bed to sleep in, a roof over our head, and we love it!
Well I could go on and on about counting my blessings but the smell is starting to get to me....I suggest you stop and count your blessing on this beautiful Friday!! Have a good weekend!!

Week 2

Today begins week 2 of being a stay at home mom. Gosh this was always my dream job so why is it that I am not as happy as I thought? It is taking some getting use to for sure! I am starting to feel better about it. Last week I felt like a huge unemployed bum but now I am feeling pretty good. I worry about money but I am hoping it will work itself out. I am excited about being with Libby! She makes me so happy! I am just praying that when the time is right an opportunity will arise. In the meantime I am enjoying taking care of the household duties and taking care of Libby : )

Bored


This stay at home mommy thing has barely survived week one. I keep busy cleaning the house, laundry, etc but man...it's still boring. I dont think I am the "stay at home type". This is what happened to poor Libby during a dull moment....

4 month check up

Libby had her four month check up yesterday! Dr. said she is "socially advanced". Well duh..look who her mom is. haha. Uh oh that could be a bad thing as she gets older! He also said she has the "cutest smile he has seen in a year". Well duh. Look at her mom's smile. haha. Anyway, she is 12 pounds 14 ounces, 24.3 inches long, and her head is 16 inches in circumference. She is healthy as a horse! She can eat cereal now! yay!! Looking forward to the months to come!

Poopie Week

So last week was one of the worst weeks ever! I didnt get a job I interviewed for, my work computer crashed my last week of work causing all sorts of drama, and anything that could go wrong did. Lets not forget the big AT&T outage! That was nuts! I thought my life was busy before having Libby but I really had no idea! I feel like some days I don't even get the chance to just sit down, my dvrs are piling up, the bathrooms need to be cleaned, the house needs to be cleaned, I need to pay the bills, the babe needs to be taken care of, the laundry needs to be done, I need to go out to church to cut the checks, i need to find time to search for jobs, I have a belt I need to return, I am going to start babysitting tomorrow, Libby's 4 month check up tomorrow, I need to squeeze in treadmill time, not to mention I need to take a shower!! Ahhh! It's never ending. Being a mom is by far is the hardest job I have ever had. I have a new respect for stay at home mom's. Don't get me wrong, I am not complaining by any means. I love my life and I wouldn't change anything about it. I am just saying it is definitely not easy!

OMG

OMG totally forgot to blog. lol. It has been crazy busy the past few days. I had a job interview to prepare for so that is what I did most of the weekend. I also enjoyed another Harman wedding...congrats Kelly & Rod! Can't wait for you to make Libby a cousin to play with! The interview was on Monday. I think I did well, but I dont think I will get the job. They liked my administrative experience however I think they are wanting someone with my experience in a medical setting. Medical office settings tend to be super busy and they want someone that has experience in a busy setting. If I dont get the job then it was meant to be. I just don't have a good feeling about it. Anywho, I am exploring my other options. My last day at SEBC is on Friday. Its bittersweet. I have enjoyed my time here but I feel like my time has come to an end. I am closing chapters in some areas of my life and looking forward to starting new ones. I can't complain. I have been so blessed! I have a wonderful husband in family, a relationship with Jesus Christ, a fantastic husband, and a healthy beautiful baby girl that I love to pieces. Looking forward to what life will bring. God has a plan for me and I have to be patient and see what he has in store!

Blah Monday!

Yesterday really stunk up the place! I had a fussy clingy baby, had to go to the dr. for a not fun reason and got violated, every car I was behind was going 20 under the speed limit, and Muffin didnt come home until 8:00 pm due to a golf scramble, got a cd of pics that didnt work, got a bill in the mail that I thought I was going to have to pay which luckily ended up being a mistake, and the dr. scale said I was 123 pounds. Booo...And then I realized even though I thought I was having a horrible day, I really wasnt. A lot of people have it way harder than I do and they would have been glad to take my day yesterday. I asked God for forgiveness for being a whiney turd. So come on Tuesday...bring it on!!
