So the baby is now 2 months old and my little monkey is going to start school when summer is over. My darling baby daddy is now working the graveyard shift and so I am a stay at home mom. At first I loved it - spend all day with the kids, don't have to have any of the stress of working. However after a couple of weeks of this stuff there are a few things that I have noticed:
1. With all of us home all the time the house never stays clean for even a day.
2. We live in the south so the average summer temp is about 100 - too hot to take the kids to the park (esp. the 2 month old) so our activities are limited
The walls seem to be slowing closing in on me and Im starting to run out of ideas to keep a 5 yo entertained for a majority of the day - I even googled stay at home mom. How do you keep from going crazy and what is it I do all day.

Baby is almost here!
So I have 28 days left to meet my baby girl! Its seems like so long ago I found out we were expecting a baby. We have everything set up and ready its just we are having a slight problem keeping the cats out of the crib. Any suggestions?
So I'm nervous and excited. I guess the normal feelings of a pregnant lady. The little monkey has been so awesome - I think he is just as excited to have a sister! He gives my belly kisses and says Hi sister. He tells me he is going to teach her how to play baseball. Speaking of baseball he starts t-ball in a couple of weeks so needless to say Im going to be busy as hell the next couple of weeks!
Wish me luck! :)

Slacking
Ok I've been slacking on my blog posts lately - It may or may not be because I am addicted to a game on facebook called farkle. Also I've been working and taking care of the little one and cooking and all that good stuff.
Tonight I had the little guy's girlfriend over - they are so cute together - they argue all the time and tell each other they stink. So we put together a puzzle and ate string cheese and then we all made mini-pizza's which are so easy and they are pretty yummy - and the kiddo's can help.
Mini Pizza's
English Muffins
Pizza Sauce
cheese
Peperroni
put it all together and put it in the oven until the cheese melts.
Yeah I'm a regular Betty Crocker! I did try to make a cake with fondant - it turned out so aweful and it didn't taste that great either - next time Im just buying one.

What a day
So yesterday was awful! I got to work of course running late like usual and my boss is there he says to me that the doors were left unlocked (which I know is bull honkey because I was the last one there and I double checked to make sure the doors were locked. He leaves and then later I go to write a check and the checkbook and cash box were missing. I really think he is messing with me because he always tells me to lock my desk but I forget and really if someone were to break in they would have to unlock three doors, the lock on my desk really wont matter. Either way if someone did steal it - they got maybe $15 in cash and a checkbook with no money in the account - if my boss is really messing with me it might be time to put in my notice.
Anyway enough venting - The little guy was grumpy yesterday - after I got off work I go and pick him up from his grandfathers, about an hour after we were home it was time to make dinner - He didn't like what I was making so he started pitching a fit so I sent him to his room and turned the tv off. When the timer went off he came out of his room and looked at the tv and said "You ruined my day I wanted to watch tv" - It was so funny the way he said it that I just started laughing - which didn't help - but after a little consoling things were good again.
He said to me the other day while we were eating dinner, "you want to play poker" to which I responded "what?" he says "you know Texas Holdem - its a card game"

On the river
There was excitement at first about going to float down the river - that is until we got to the river. I dropped my car off at the point of the river we get out at and my friend took us to the point we get in at - then he tells me, he is not going and he wants to go home. I'm like "the only way to get home is to go down the river." (this is when I snapped the picture) After a little more kicking and screaming we got on the water - he was screaming as loud as he could (and if you have ever been on the river - epically on a Thursday when no one is around - the sound kind of echos) so I say to him "If you don't stop screaming I am going to throw you in the water" - He stopped screaming. After about five minutes and some hand holding and reassuring he warmed up and then he was his usually funny little self.
When we got to the part of the river where we get out at he tells me he wants to go again. - oh man A series of non stop questions....I say maybe this weekend, he asks what day, how many days is that, etc. Thank goodness there was a little girl playing at the dock, as soon as he saw her he says can I go play... my little flirt.
Latter on we go to my grandfathers house, where my little comedian has us all laughing we made plans to go down the river this weekend, hopefully this time with daddy and maybe my Aunt!
I still have pictures left on my waterproof camera so we have to go again!
