Busy, Busy, Busy
I've been meaning to blog way before now but it seems as though something always comes up when I sit down to start writing. We had a busy week last week, went to the fun indoor play place and then had a little Valentine's party, in between those events we were cleaning, baking, and doing our day to day things. Really nothing interesting has been happening. My mom comes this week because I have my dr. appt on Thursday. Little man and I are going back to stay with my parents for awhile just for a little change of pace. It gets super boring doing the same stuff over and over, so we need a change of scenery. Plus it's my mom's birthday so we are going to celebrate and go out to dinner.
R is sick again and Little man is fighting a little cough and cold. I started to feel like I was coming down with the same thing but have quickly gotten better which is good. Hopefully R can get well soon! He's been doing really well taking vitamins, eating really good and making time to work out, yet he keeps getting sick. I'm sure work, stress, and his long drives home in the snow have been wearing though. I cannot wait for spring!!!!!! Today it was near 50 degrees and raining, but then it's getting cold again and we are supposed to get ice and snow. It's that same stupid cycle over and over. The months are flying by though so spring won't been too long. I can't believe we are already over half way through February.
Can I just say that I have the best neighbor ever! T gave me a HUGE garbage bag full of maternity clothes. I seriously have enough to not wear the same outfit twice in a three month period. She is done having kids and her sisters haven't gotten pregnant yet so I'm going to be using the clothes and returning them at the end of the pregnancy. I'm so greatful that she was so generous! I ordered some but we don't have a lot of extra money to buy very much so this really helps out. I'm actually returning a few things I bought because they were too big or I didn't like the look. I know I'm probably going to kick myself for saying this later on, but I'm sorta excited about being pregnant during the summer. I like the idea that I can wear skirts, shorts, and dresses, it just seems easier than trying to pile on long sleeves and long pants. Like I said I'm probably going to kick myself for saying it, because it will be so hot, but as of right now I love the idea of the clothes I'll get to wear and the fact that it will be nice outside so that I can get consistent exercise.

Eventful!
So we had a playdate at the neighbors house this morning and that was really fun because it got us out of the house. The windchill was zero today and so playing outside wasn't really an option. It makes the day go by so much quicker when we get together and let the kids play for a few hours, not to mention, it's interaction with another adult around my age that's also a SAHM, so we have a lot in common!
On to the really exciting part of the day......the fire on the stove! I know this is terrible but sometimes I put water on to boil and then run around and try to multi task to get a little more done in the day. Well R let something boil over the other day and didn't clean, I had totally forgot, and the burner started on fire. Little man said, "what's that smell" and I didn't think anything of it. Upon entering the kitchen there was a small, albeit growing fire on the stove. I tried a couple things and finally resorted to the fire extinguisher, which can I say make a huge mess. Needless to say the fire got put out and then I had a huge mess to clean up. I still managed to clean it all up, remake Little Man's dinner, and make our dinner all before 7pm when I had to start tutoring. The fire happened about 5:20pm so I was pretty happy.
On Friday we are going on an outing with the neighbor to this huge indoor play area so I'm pretty excited about that because it's been so cold playing outside hasn't really been an option, oh and it's also been raining, crazy weather!!!!! It will be nice to actually go somewhere during the week. Apparently, it's all kid friendly, parents just sit back and keep an eye on their kids, and there's just tons of equipment for them to play on. After that Little Man should be worn out and expended a lot of his energy.
One of these days I'm going to have to revisit my resolutions (goals) to see how I'm doing. I see the scheduled outage is about to begin so I'd better finish up here :o)

Ahhh it's Friday!!
The weeks are just flying by!!!! I swear it was just Monday! I did get a lot accomplished this week but there is still a lot to do. Yesterday we went to a playdate at the neighbor's house again. This time T invited all her stay at home mommy friends so I got to meet so many people and then Little man had a lot more kids to play with. I love getting to talk to other mommys and having more kids for Little man to socialize with. What I've found though is that his age they all play with separate toys and aren't into playing with each other really, still though, at least there are other kids around.
We are still working on potty training. E the neighbor boy just turned 2 in Sept. and he's already potty trained!!!!! He has an older cousin so I guess that helped him a lot. It's helped Little man too because he got to see E use the potty and get a treat so since our first play date Little man has been wearing underwear during the day. He's had quite a few accidents but he's doing better and I've been more consistent and taken all of T's advice about how to do it. I've been setting the timer on the microwave and we try every 30 minutes. He gets a tattoo or sticker everytime he goes and I give him tons of praise. I'll keep my fingers crossed that we'll be potty trained by 3!!!!!
I don't know what we are doing this weekend but I hope it involved relaxing and we have to take Little man to see Santa Claus. My mom and brother are also supposed to be coming down to bring more stuff that we forgot and so my bro can see the house. He just had surgery on his hand yesterday so he's in a cast for two weeks and can't do much over Christmas break. The surgeon started cutting into the wrong finger so that was the big drama during his surgery. I guess the risk management team had to meet with my parents in a secluded room. The doctor was joking a lot with them prior to the surgery so they thought he was joking when he told them he cut into the wrong finger to begin, but apparently he did and he wasn't joking. Crazy!
Little man has been waking up earlier and earlier every morning and taking a shorter nap so I've been having to adjust my schedule and find more activities to fill our days. It's so hard being stuck in the house or outside the house not being able to go anywhere. I don't have a car since I don't have a job (can't afford one) so we are extremely limited to what we can do. I think I'm going to have to quit the play group I found because I can't get to any of the events. Luckily, I have the neighbor, but still that's maybe once per week that we get together. I would love to call her everyday to hang out but I know that would definitely overwhelm her. She's the type that loves staying home and her house is perfect so I imagine that she keeps pretty busy. Plus she has two kids.
Hope everyone has a nice weekend!
