The Case of the Disappearing Blogger

I have nothing left to say. Nothing that I want to remember for all time posted on the WORLD WIDE WEB in any case.   So I think I’m done for awhile.  I’ll be back, I’m sure, I just don’t want to commit to anything right now.

 

One last post for a bit, and I’m cheating and going with bullets.

 

1.  Emily is 2 today!!   We sang Happy Birthday to her this morning and dressed her up in her “Emily is 2 Today!” t shirt and brought her to school.  I almost think she knew, because she was a wild animal this morning, running naked through the house laughing at us!   I can’t believe she is 2 already. It’s amazing how much she has grown and changed in the time we’ve had with her. Unbelievable.

2.  My dizziness/syncope has returned with a vengeance.  There isn’t anything that brings it on (that I’m aware of )  It’s just one of those things.  I hate it and it makes me cranky and hateful on top of being too dizzy to stand up.  Most nights I’m now forced to lie down by about 6:45.  I’m not sleepy, I just can’t stand up without falling into something.  That pretty much means that any night time activities have stopped for me. Including normal things like doing the dishes and giving Emily a bath.  *sigh*  I keep hoping each day will get better. Hasn’t happened yet, but I will remain hopeful.

3. The economy is making me nervous. I’m worried I’m going to become one of those bizaro hoarders that you see on Oprah.  On the other hand, my pantry is totally stocked, so it’s not all bad!

4. I need a Facebook intervention. Or at least an 8 hour patch or something.  That stuff is like crack, without the illegal side effects.

5. I would post pictures of Emily, since I took 300 of them easy over the last 2 weeks. If you refer to #2, you will see why it’s not possible for me to post them.  I can’t do it from work, and by the time I get home and have 5 mins to myself, I can’t sit up at the computer to do anything.  It makes me sad. I want to order pictures. I took a TON of them lately and some of them are really good shots.  Really good.  So you’ll just have to trust me when I say how big she is getting and how beautiful she is.

6.  Emily needs a haircut badly. I’m afraid that they will chop off all her curls though, and make her look like a boy. She was bald for so long, and the last haircut we had done was horrific. I don’t know if it’s worse to have a bad haircut or look like a Beatle. *sigh*  And these are the easy decision years, right?! J 

 

 

That’s it folks. I’m still reading your blogs, so I’m not disappearing off the face of the earth. Just off here. Just for awhile. Peace out.

 

 

 

 

 

Pretty Flowers

My Tony sent me flowers at work today. So pretty!  And everyone is coming by to tell me how nice they are. I feel very special and warm & fuzzy on the inside.  What a nice boy!

 

 

Picture tonight!

 

 

 

This is pretty much Emily on a daily basis.  Large and in Charge!! 

and isn't her hair getting long?!

The Lovely and Talented Miss Em!

Emily loves Puppy, as she calls Rascal. 

We have Potty Action!

WOO HOO!!! Emily went pee pee on the potty this morning!   It was a total fluke, but still we are very excited and made a very big deal about her today.  I’m not sure that she got why we were so happy (and dancing in the bathroom) but she seemed to enjoy it.   They won’t start training her in daycare until she moves to the 2 year old room, so right now we are just doing it at home.  Mostly, we are just working on getting her comfortable on the potty and that’s it.  She sits up there fine as you please and asks for her book. It’s pretty cute.  But today, real improvement!  Very exciting stuff.

 

Emily will be 2 in 2 weeks. Sigh. I’m loving where she is right now, everything is fun and she is learning so much. But she isn’t a wee baby anymore and I miss that.  On the other hand, the thought of not having to change as many diapers and possibly NO diapers in a few months has me pretty stoked. LOL  You can’t win as a mom, can you? 

 

 

 

 

I'm Here

I’m here! I’m alive and kicking. I just needed a few weeks off to regroup.  What did we do the last couple weeks you ask?  Well Tony and I finally took our honeymoon and went to Las Vegas!!    We stayed here and it was fabulous. Normally I would bombard you with pictures, but my camera decided on the very first day out that it just wasn’t going to work. *sigh*  Luckily this is my Kodak point n shoot, and not my good camera (the Nikon D40X!) I was afraid to bring the good camera to Vegas and then lug it around everywhere.  So we have exactly 2 pictures of us from there, and we paid an INSANE amount of money for them. But we do look really good.  

 

So let me tell you how it was. First, Tony wasn’t feeling so great the day before we left. Poor guy was sick the whole flight out there (and that was fun for both of us, let me tell you)  As soon as we landed we went to the hotel to check in. Poor guy stayed in bed most of the day.  I checked out the hotel, did some gambling, had awesome ham sandwich here and took a nap. It was really nice to take a nap in the middle of the day and not feel like I was missing out on Emily time.   The next day he was a bit better so we had breakfast and walked around a bit and then he went back to the room and I had a KILLER facial at the hotel spa. It was really nice. I even went into the sauna and steam room, something I’ve never done before!  Not a fan of the steam room. Sitting around in a towel all sweaty on purpose just isn’t fun.   Anyways, by Sunday T was back to himself so we went to see Mystere. Tony surprised me with 2^nd row seats. It was amazing! I spent half the show laughing and the other ½ gasping because I was sure one of the people were going to die. If you have never seen it, I highly recommend it.  Although, in all fairness, I didn’t really get a lot of the artsy fartsy crap they had going on in the background. I mean it was cool and all, but why were they dressed like birds and weird giraffes and junk? Oh well. It didn’t detract from the acrobats at all, and that was just super cool.

 

Anyways, other than all that, we walked around a lot, ate a ton, gambled a bit and people watched.  There is some very VERY good people watching in Vegas, let me tell you!!  It was a good trip and we had a great time.

 

Miss Emily stayed with Grammy SheShe and Grampy while we were gone. She had a very good time and I think they did too! The best part of being away from her was calling home to hear her little voice on the phone say Hi Mommy!  I get all warm and fuzzy thinking about that. She recognized my voice and everything, my smart girl.

 

As soon as we came back, my back started feeling funny. We arrived home last Tuesday and by Thursday morning my back had completely gone out. Not fun. Tony was great and brought me to an urgent care where they gave me all sorts of fabulous drugs.  I didn’t feel anything after that. Which is good for my back, but bad for everything else.  It’s hard to have a conversation with someone who isn’t sure what day it is. (for example)  We took it easy last weekend and by Monday I was back to normal. (mostly)   This week has been slow, what with having to work for a living and all, but that’s good. Emily had a slight fever last night and this morning, so she is home with daddy today. I think she’ll be fine, she just has a little cold. 

 

I hope to get back into the swing of things here over the next few days.  You can check me out at Facebook, where I’ve become an addict too if you wish. 

Happy Friday ya’ll!
