So as I catch up on my blog reading...lots of things are running through my head...I need to list them to get them out of my mom brain...usually this goes under a Whatever Wednesday column...but its Saturday...super hot outside...T just fell asleep and I am feeling like writing...
* I cant believe how easily I forget things now that I am a mom, I always thought 'i have mommy brain' was a cop out....
* I can't wait to move into our dream home and decorate the way I want...I am ready for a fresh slate which will include stripe painted walls and crown moulding...
* I can but I can't wait until Tyler grows up
* I am so thankful for the job I have which allows me to me a WAHM (work at home mom)
* I really wish my son would take the bottle for someone other than me...it kind of defeats the purpose when he will only take a bottle from me....hmmmm...
* I see some of my mom friends talking about the first day of kindergarten and just cant picture that in my future...I feel like T is going to be small forever...I can only wish...
* I still think about my friend Erynn's husband everyday and when I am driving alone (which is rare these days, but DID happen today) and I am blasting country music...every song makes me cry just thinking about him) My favorite song of the month used to be 'Alright' By Darius Rucker...but now it has a new meaning...after reading her blog :) I heard it today turned it up real loud and cried...
* I went to the bank today to cash a small check that came to my dad as part of an old work settlement...and I had to present his death certificate...I had never looked at it before...and was doing 'alright' until the guy saw it was from Hawaii and asked...'oh did your dad live in Hawaii?' and I had to...for the first time say...'no, actually him and I were vacationing there when he died' I feel bad for getting teary eyed and making the guy uncomfortable...sorry mr. banker man...I thought I was stronger...
* I am super duper excited about me and my friends new venture...stay tuned...
* Today is T's 3 month old day...whatever you call it ;)
* I think my hand-germ-dirty-aphobia is getting worse...I have this problem where I wipe my hands after EVERY single bite I take, even if I am just going to dive in and take another bite...resulting in 500 napkins used at every meal...and I can't stop washing my hands...I never noticed I did this until H pointed it out to me about 3 years ago...and my dad happened to be there and said 'oh yeah she has been like that her whole life.' WTF? Why didn't I notice that I used 500 napkins at every meal...I can't break it either...
* I am happy I am back to my pre-pregnancy 'weight' but wondering why my 'shape' is not...I need to go to the gym...
* I am currently overly obsessed with this website. I am all about handmade stuff and supporting moms (most of the site sellers are moms/women). From now on I want to only by people special personal things like this. How stinkin cute is that!
* I am in desperate need of a tan...
* I get over 80 hits a day on this blog and wonder why no one comments to let me know they are there...I won't bite...promise...even just say hello...I know you are all out there ;)
* I am so incredibly thankful to have such an amazing husband... I REALLY scored in this department...
* I love watching T look up at his dad and smile really really big....even if sometimes he smiles bigger with him then with me...its ok...it makes me more than happy...
* I love listening to H give T a bath and talk to him...he doesn't know I am standing around the corner listening with tears in my eyes
* I wish my dad was here to see T, it would have brought SO MUCH joy to his life...
* I can't believe we are grown up enough to have a will and a trust...we just did this last week and it was hard talking about 'if we were to pass...what would we want for Tyler' ugh, I can't imagine not watching my little boy grow up...
* I can't wait for little league games
* I want to be a team mom
* I want H to be a coach
* I can't wait to do all of the things on these websites with Tyler...here and here
* I am taking up sewing again and loving every minute of it (as if I needed yet ANOTHER thing to do) but it makes me happy, so I am sticking to it...
* I hate car shopping...and am sad that we recently discovered our Lexus is not a 'family car' well not a 'family car for tall people' ugh! So...its for sale...sad...
* I am beyond excited for Christmas this year...and can't wait to bring 'Santa' back ;-)
* I'm looking for a Halloween Costume for T...H wants him to be this...I think not...maybe I will compromise and let Bailey be this. I would be okay with that...ha
* I REALLY need to work on converting this blog into a book...I am half way done with all of the posts for 2008...here is the website I am using if anyone is interested.
* Ok I really should stop now...I could keep going on and on...but I have to admit...it does feel good to get all of this out of my overcrowded head...I actually got a nap in today...first time in 2 months...maybe that is why I feel like writing today....I think I am going to start posting my Whatever Wednesdays here...so when I DO convert this baby to a book, I can remember what was going on during these crazed days....and I encourage all of you to start this on your blogs too...it can be fun...come on...everyone's doin' it...ha! Ok..we are off to do something fun as a family now that it has cooled down a little! Happy Saturday!

Hi! I'm commenting! So cute! I loved reading your post.....P.S. I can get you a tan ;).....I totally use a million napkins too, but i've gotten a lot better. Don't like anything on my hands (palms)... The one where you listen to H talk to T when he's giving him a bath is adorable! You're so lucky! Oh and the story with the man at the bank....*tear* Love you! P.S. Saw Jim and Mandy yesterday at a wedding, and Jim and Tiana today:).....
I love what you wrote Michelle. You have always been so creative. Keep up the good work. Don't know where you have the time! Love You.
You said everything that has been in my head for the passt 2 years. Nice work!!!!
wow, that was a lot.
A LOT!
don't feel bad about the banker dude.. you are allowed to break down. Sometimes I don't know how I say things without breaking down. You ARE strong. Oops, I hate when people tell ME that, nevermind.
I can't wait for little league games with you but I wish P were here to coach too. He said he would ONLY coach if it was his son's team How nice of him, right?
i love you guys. please move into your dream home asap.
Dude, I DO comment and I might be 19 of your 80 hits a day ;) I think T looks a little like Max did when he was a baby and it makes me like him even more. Rest assured I am one of your biggest fans. I'm going to have to ask Summer to arrange a girls night one night so I can gush over you in person and we can compare Etsy notes. LOVE IT!
You are 2 cute! So what your telling me is that I should buy you napkins for your Birthday! lol! Miss you guys!
P.S. I just saw that you added Hanford to your Travel list:) I am sure people are like where the hell is that? lol! We can't wait until you come back:)
Sooo much to comment on.
I thought Mommy Brain was a cop out too. Not so much!
I'm sorry you & E are sad and wonder why it has to be.
Stop teasing us about your venture. I REALLY want to know!
Isn't being a mommy the best? I can't wait for tee-ball.
