1. No cleaning to do...dust has to be a part of the curse...and dishes too.
2. Not having to go to the bathroom...because it's inventiably when I have to go that I am the most needed
3. No bad hair days
4. I'll be at my perfect weight
5. No pimples...again...I'm convinced they were a part of the curse
6. Shopping...how can such an enjoyable thing not be there?
7. Not worrying about hearing a baby cry at 2 am to wake me from a sound sleep or puking and nightmares
8. Not feeling guilty about eating chocolate
9. Not burning dinner
10. No more waredrobe conundrums
11. An uninterupted bath with water that isn't too hot or too cold
12. Peace and Quiet

Seriously...I know I'm suppose to say seeing Jesus is at the top of my list...and don't get me wrong...I'm excited about that but sometimes it's the little things.

Sitting Up (with a buffer zone of course)

Checking out the new BaYouCa brochure...these one's are just for Grandpa

My favorite one!

Daddy is an Earnhardt Jr. Fan

Mommy is a Jimmy Johnson Fan

I've been stuck home a lot lately and the snow is piling up. I've organized as much as I can and don't feel like crafting alone. I'm bored with TV and have watched all my Alias DVDs. I should be piasly reading my bible but my brain is dead from my son waking up in the night quite a bit lately. I try to nap when he does but though my body is shutting down my brain won't. I miss my family and the only adult conversations I've had are with my pastor husband who is chatting ministry stuff or Masters course stuff. Jack talks to me often but he's not learned to use words yet. I miss my friends. I'm eating junk food a lot more. I'm even contemplating putting on my bathsuit and Jack's and taking him for a swim in the tub. I might bundle him up and introduce him to snow today...I've just got to get the energy. I would look forward to the weekend but not much is going on there either. Yep...today is an Eyore day.

Oh...yeah and we've haven't gone on a date in 5 months and Kevin is having a hard time letting anyone else watch him or going too far. I want the break away but I'm trying to be patient.

Found two new ways to detox after a crazy day:

1. playing scrabble with my mom and sister on facebook
2. doing an online jigsaw puzzle

I'm an old fart

So last night Jack's cries also woke daddy up. We are still working on the regularity of pooping and so my little man was in pain. Kevin stayed up to help me with him each time he was up but then went to sleep early in the AM and slept in while Jack was up at 7:30. I really did appreciate the help and if anything it helped him to understand what it is like to deal with life after being up so many times during the night. Tonight he fought falling asleep for about 1/2 hour and is finally down.

Today was the beginning of our new adventure with him. At the last dr.'s visit our dr. decided to refer us to a ped. cardiology clinic because he heard a murmur. We went today and he had a chest x-ray and ekg. I let daddy go in with those. It's weird because I can handle watching him get shots but this stuff is freaking me out a little.

Next week we go back down for the clinic and hopefully get some feedback and then we have an appointment with his dr. again the week after. I know it's probably nothing big...Kevin and his dad have a sloppy valve and it's hereditary...but, it gets to you every once in awhile. It's one of those continual surrender things.

He's learning to play with his toys and throw them on the floor

He likes using his own spoon...mostly to chew on

This is the "I'm full" look
