Babyland aka the Living Room

My living room is one big cluttered babyland at the moment, and I am one tired Mommy. Today I cleaned the Jumperoo for Dylan, I forgot how huge this jumper is. I also cleaned the playpen, another huge item. The living room was already getting a little crowded with toys and too much stuff. The addition of two more giant baby items has put the living room at full capacity for toddler and baby gear.

The good part Dylan loves the Jumperoo. He has had a great time bouncing today. I guess I’ll just have to get used to the mess for a little while 😉

Early Risers

Today I woke up extra early. I hoped to get a few moments (to myself) to do chores around the house, the plan failed. I have early risers and nap skippers in my house. I have come to realize that I have to get up earlier than them to get anything done. Trust me when I say that I am NO MORNING PERSON!!! This is going to be quite a difficult task.

I was up and nursing Dylan at 6:15 a.m., I luckily got Dylan back to sleep at 6:30 a.m. I went in to see my Hubby before he went to work at 6:45 a.m., and then I grabbed a quick shower. I was out by 7:00 a.m., so I quietly went downstairs to make breakfast. Thade must have smelled the yummy Green Tea waiting for mommy. I heard little footsteps running around the upstairs hallway. Thade was wide awake and ready to go. Continue reading »

Just a Moment

Dylan is taking a mid-evening nap, and Thade is busy chilling out on the couch. I thought I would take a little break and catch up on my laptop.

Today I have lived in the kitchen. I made two kinds of cookies for hubby’s work. I think I ended up making around seven dozen. Most are going with James, but a few are staying at home. I also made up a huge batch of Chili, some for dinner and some for the freezer.

James and I are going on a (much needed) mini vacation next weekend, so I am busy getting everything ready. We will have the Grandma’s babysitting so I’m stocking the freezer and pantry with easy meals. That way they don’t have to run out for take out. They are babysitting for free, so at least I can supply the food 😉  I’m also pumping a bottle a day for Dylan. I’m a little worn out from that.  Continue reading »

Busy Tuesday

Well I didn’t get everything finished yesterday, bummer. Today I have a few more errands to add to the list, and a new sewing project. My hubby is out of town for a meeting and he left me his car, so I think I’m going to take it for a few errands today. Here is the plan for today.

  • Wash and put away dishes
  • Wash 1 load of laundry
  • Put away 3 loads of laundry
  • Pump 1 bottle (vacation)
  • Get gas for Hubby’s car, maybe an oil change too
  • Work on sewing burp cloths, and laundry sorter
  • Stock freezer with yesterday’s frugal buys
  • Bills and balance checkbook
  • Today Walgreens is supposed to open, so I’m going to drive by and hope for the best Continue reading »

Oh I need a Shower

teething-1

This morning after nursing Dylan for the fourth time, I was promptly spit up on again. It was time for a diaper change. I took Dylan over to the changing table, and half-awake got the dirty diaper off, grabbed for a clean one, and heard Dylan laugh. He had peed all over me, the table, and himself. I grabbed a few burp cloths, and cleaned up the mess. I picked up a new diaper, and before I could get it closed, again he is giggling, and peeing all over the table. I scooped up the baby, and headed in to the bathroom for a towel, and to get him clean. Continue reading »
