Slacker

Yes, I know I'm slacking. Yes, I know I missed both the Sunday Snapshots and Tuesday Teachings. I wish I had an excuse- oh wait... teething 10 month old who seems to be getting sick on top of it... pregnant mama who can't sleep or eat, let alone form coherent thought. So I'm slacking. And while I would like to pretend that it will get better soon- well, I just can't. I can promise to update as often as possible, and when not feeling like ass though- so as often as that happens, I'm all yours internets.

Let's see... Brody news- he's teething. Have I mentioned that? Both top teeth at once- one of them now has a little white blister on it. I actually thought the blister was the tooth this morning, but we aren't that lucky. The other one has a bump and should be through soon as well. And well, he's quite miserable, and quite attached to mommy's hip.

Other than that? Who am I kidding- there is no other than that this week. It's full of middle of the night wakings, screaming, and luckily more than usual cuddling. So I'm in hell and heaven all at the same time! YEAH! =)

Tuesday Teachings

I got nothin'. I'm done warn out, and my brain ain't working. So again, you get short and sweet. In honor of the best man winning... (If you haven't been watching- Terry is quite simply, amazing. I can't imagine what it's been like to try to follow this dream, but it is finally coming true. He says he once had a performance, and only one person showed up- but he didn't give up. WOW. He deserves everything coming his way tonight!)

Brody,

Never give up on your dreams.

Love,
MaMa

Sunday Snapshots

I lied

I know my message to Brody on Tuesday was to not wish time away, but right now, I'd really like it if we could fast forward to the point where his top two teeth (and possibly one bottom one) have popped through. They all seem to be coming through at once, and it's making nights rather miserable. I really hate to medicate him, but otherwise he wakes up in the middle of the night screaming, and I hate that more. I guess the good part about it is that he's taking nice long naps, which gives me a chance for nice long naps, and with my inability to sleep well at night, I desperately need those naps!

Tuesday Teachings

Brody is 10 months old today. Can I just take a second to ask how the heck that happened??? I mean seriously! I know I say this often, but it still marvels me how time can fly and yet seem to stand still all at the same time. Dashing our hopes that his first meaningful word would be mama or dada, it seems that the cat is who Brody loves most. So cat is the first official word. Who would have thought? =) But I guess the good news is that he is putting meaning to sounds- so I can't really complain... much. I know one day I'll wonder why I ever wanted him to learn to say mama (you know those days when that's the only word the kid will say?) But for right now, it would make my heart melt.

But since the boy just woke up... I better hurry up, so here's today's lesson.

Brody,

Don't ever wish that time will pass you by. Enjoy each day for what it is, and take the time to realize that every day is special and that the journey is just as important (sometimes more so) than the destination.

I love you!
Mama

Sunday Snapshots

TOUCHDOWN!!!!

Tuesday Teachings

Oh goodness.... I have nothing planned for today. So I guess I'll be pulling from today's top headline...

Brody,

Please don't do drugs. Drugs are bad. Despite some recent evidence to the contrary, drugs will not make you successful or happy. Don't be like him. Winning things doesn't matter if you can't say that you did so fairly... dignity is so much more important.

Love,
MaMa

Sunday Snapshots (a day early, because I just can't wait)

Brody has an announcement he'd like to make.... though I promise he's more excited about it than he seems in the picture!
