Monday Musings

* This is going to be another post with lots of bullet points.  You might want to get used that for a while.

*You may also want to get used to iphone pictures.  Lugging around a camera, taking pictures, loading pictures, and writing a post just takes too much time and effort right now.

* Moving on.  It's Monday again which marks Ellie's 7 week birthday and my second week back at work.  So far, we're adjusting well.

* Ellie's wonderful sleep habits have made it easy to get back into the swing of things.  

* Speaking of sleeping, it's pretty sad when your newborn sleeps better than your three-year-old.  Eric and I take bets on which kid will be up first at night.  Lately it's been Eli.

* This brings me to a new revelation.  I am so grateful to have Eric. (ok, maybe a not - so - new revelation)  I can vent on here all day long about our sleep woes, but no one fully understands...except Eric.  Not only does he "get it" he helps me see the humor in it!

* He helps me see the humor in a lot of things, like not checking the expiration date on meat thus ruining dinner.  Thanks Babe, for eating Roman Noodles like a champ!  

* And because my best laid plans often end up like last night's dinner fiasco, here is some laughter for you!


* That's all I've got today.  Have a Happy Monday!!

A New Decade

Happy 2020, everyone!  I know I'm a month and a half behind, but ya'll, January was brutal!  Not brutal in a tragic kind of way but in a "life will wear you out" kind of way. It started off with the flu...times three!  Eric, Ellie and I had Flu B and missed the first week back to school and work.  Then Eli was diagnosed with Flu A two weeks later.  Thankfully, my in-laws stepped in to help so that we didn't have to miss any more time at work. On top of the sickness, we listed our house for sale. The work it takes getting ready for market is just crazy. But we also have people coming in and out of our home at all hours and it's just kinda overwhelming. Plus, we are finalizing everything with the builder. In full transparency, working with the builder has been the easiest part! Maybe I'll do a little update on the whole building process later this week.  Now that the dust has settled on 2020, I'm going to try my very hardest to keep this litt

Hit Me With Your Best Shot

Have I ever told you that Eli loves sports?  Ha!  I look back at him with baseballs and basketballs at 18 months old ,and it blows my mind that he's still so interested.   The thing is, he doesn't discriminate.  Baseball, basketball, football, soccer...you name it, we play it! Not only do we play sports all day, we also have to watch certain videos on Youtube.   We watch "Boys of Fall," while wearing a football helmet. We watch Alabama's "Cheap Seats,"  John Fogerty's"Centerfield," and Kenny Rogers,  "The Greatest" while holding a bat, carrying a ball, and wearing a batting helmet. And now, thanks to Space Jam, we have to listen to the movie sound track while shooting hoops!  That's a blast from the past! He hasn't found a song about soccer or golf...YET! And with all that playing, who has time to run inside for a potty break?  Not this boy! I never thought

Running Through The Sprinkler

Playing in the sprinkler was on our summer bucket list.  To me it seems weird just checking if off and moving on to the next activity because when I was younger, we ran through a sprinkler pretty much every day.  Putting it under the trampoline and letting it keep all the "jumpers" cool, was a favorite pastime. I cringe now. What the heck were we doing with eight kids on a net-free trampoline anyway? Ha! Back to the present…Eric treated the pool yesterday, so we couldn't swim which made it the perfect night to drag out the water hose and sprinkler.   Neither child loved it at first, so we turned down the pressure.  They slowly but surely warmed up to it.  Bless her little heart, Ellie stood right in the middle and took a direct hit.  She would make the worst face you've ever seen then cry ridiculsouly if you tried to move her.  Eli ran straight though the middle with his eyes closed.  Thank goodness our yard is basically an o
