Random Thoughts

I'm tired and sick so bear with me on this post.

-Cheryl was right when she said that I said everything was 'fine' with Ethan's current daycare. Everything was 'fine' but not 'good' and not even close to 'great'. There were things that bothered me so I thought that we could find something better. I REALLY wanted to get him in a daycare that had the kiddie cams, where I can log on and see Ethan's room while I'm at work, but we didn't find one that was that great. We decided on a Christian based center that is run by a really nice and involved lady. She takes great pride in her center and knows everything about each kids and their parents. She started the center 17 years ago when she couldn't find a place where she would send her own children. We aren't really religious people but worse things have happened than Ethan hearing a bible story or two. I'll let you know how it goes.

-Even though I'm not around, I miss Libby and Nick living in Maine. That doesn't make any sense but it's how I feel! Libby had an interview last week and will find out soon if she got the job. I'm happy for them. FYI: Libby and her bf Nick moved to upstate NY (around Albany) to work. He has an engineering job and she is looking for lab positions. They are cool.

-We need a digital camera. We have an awesome handycam but it kinda sucks at pictures. Any recommendations on cameras?

-I get to sign up Ethan for health insurance tomorrow! You can bet your ass that I will be one of the first people too! He will be covered starting January 1st if all goes as planned (in Memphis City Schools, nothing goes as planned). Cross your fingers, and toes, and legs......

-10 more pounds and most of my clothes will fit! YESSSS...almost there thank god. I want to lose more weight but I know it takes time.

-Can you believe Ethan is over 4 months old? Whoa dude.

-I am still breastfeeding and although pumping at work is a pain, the benefits are worth it. I have to supplement with formula but he rarely gets more than 6 oz of formula a day.

-I can't imagine him eating solids! We don't even have a high chair yet! He's going to be so cute with veggies all over his face. I want to make his food but I have a lot of research to do before I do that! Must talk to Erin on that one......... :)

-Krisha (my BFF here) is 9 months and 3 weeks pregnant! I'm soooooo excited for her and I hope everything goes super well. She is due on the 17th but has an induction scheduled for the 23rd (I think) if she doesn't go into labor by then. I'm really excited and I want to help her in any way I can! I know from experience that having someone make you lunch is worth way more than any wrapped gift. Gifts are great though. You know what I mean.

-Christmas Lists: What do we want? The usual, I want clothing giftcards: Old Navy, New York and Company, Burlington Coat Factory, American Eagle. Jeremy likes Old Navy, Target, American Eagle, and Walmart. We can ALWAYS use Kroger, Walmart, and Target gift cards! Babies r us giftcards are great too. As for actual stuff we want: Queen size sheets with deep pockets (white, beige, brown, yellow, or whatever), blankets for our bedroom and living room! (we are tired of the ones we have now because Parker put holes in them when he was a puppy!), aveeno lotion, anti aging face lotion, socks for Jeremy, funky/chunky earrings/necklaces/bracelets. I'll list more if I can think of more. I want stuff like my hair highlighted and cut, pedicures, facials, and other things that I feel bad spending our money on. The 'extras' like getting my eyebrows waxed...things like that. We really want practical, useful gifts (and yes, pedicures are practical and useful).

-Holy shit I'm tired and coughing up a storm. Goodnight and leave me some comments dammit.
