The grind

You know sometimes the week is just plain overwhelming - go to work, work, come home, sit in traffic - rinse repeat. I think overall I am just feeling it. Tomorrow I am taking the day to spend with the little dude. No, work, no computer, just me and the little one. Everyone needs that sometimes. Just curious, what are your grinds.

Do any of the blogger out there have crazy commutes? Long hours? Rough - high stress jobs. Just curious - I want to hear...feel free to comment - or blog a response.

Sunday Blog Day

Yeah it is Sunday morning and our little family of 3 has Sunday traditions. We call this bacon Sunday. Yes, I eat a small bowl of cereal, some coffee, and 3 slices of bacon every Sunday. We started little things like this when I had the baby - little routines we could all count on to make things predictable. We read "Good Night Moon" before bed. Little man and I watch the Today Show in the morning things like that.

Today we are also going to a cookout. I love friends with children - not forgetting my single friends - love them too, but friends with children have cookouts that start at 4 - eat at 5 and home by 8...love it.

Well - now my favorite part of blogging...reading what everyone else is up too...

Blog Roll, Blog List, In need of Update

So in self-response to my blog post of yesterday, I am not only going to update my look, but I am calling all my readers to let me know about you. I need to update my blog list on the side. I read a ton of your blogs and I want to update the side bar. Let me know if you are our there and lurking so I can make sure I add you.

Love to you all! MG is keeping up the amazing-ness.

Also does anyone have a good mobile solution that they use. I want to read blogs and comment using my android...let me know if you have any favorite solutions.

Missing out

So one of the hardest parts about taking a blogging vacation. I am going to call it a vacation because it feels bad to call it a forced break due to life - is that everyone has changed and some have left since then. Do these sentences even make since?

I am trying to say that alot of people have new designs, way more followers, different stories, new additions to the family. I guess I feel in some ways like a bad friend. In other ways I feel new to blogging again.

I guess it is the flow of things. I am hoping if I keep my blogging promise that in a couple weeks it will all feel normal again.

Okay so also - I used to read Misadventures of a Newlywed regularly but her blog is by invite only - if anyone is in touch with her I would love an invite. I miss her alot.

Yipee it is almost 7am

and I slept what I now consider to be all night. That is baby boy went to bed at 8 and got up at 6 am. I nursed him, pumped, and now hear I am - blogging...keeping my commitment. You know, when you become a mom you lose alot of things. Fortunately for me I lost weight as well, but let me tell you that went with other things too. I am going to try here at 6 am to compile a short list of what comes to mind.

1. Sleep
2. The ability to go back for seconds and linger while you eat
3. Evening social life
4. Clothes budget
5. Long phone conversations
6. Pick up and go mentality
7. Blasting music in car
8. A spotless house
9. The ability to write this list without thinking about all the amazing positives

With that what I love:

1. The zoo members only night - hottest spot in town
2. Cuddles
3. Family Cuddles
4. Open mouth kisses from baby
5. Baby coos
6. My husband and I laugh so much more
7. Stroller status (this is a whole post in it self)
8. Mommy friends!!!
9. The Mom Club
10. Knowing you can do anything after having gone through labor

Bookstore Saturday

It feels like Sunday today in my world. We did the family outing to the bookstore. Normally that is a Sunday thing. We also went to pick up another new carseat for the little man. Yes, this is the same 7 month old that ate a whole muffin today. Yep - I have a big eater just like his mama. I love it! On to enjoy the purchases.
