After all this time...

Ahh motherhood!! You are pregnant for 9 months carrying your child and bonding and nourishing your fetus. You are excited and anxious and ready to get that kid out of there. So 9 months down and years to go. You, as a mom, are up all night sacrificing your breasts to feed your baby as long as possible, for me it was two weeks, but hey it was a sacrifice!! You are up and down and sleep deprived and longing for just a minute of shut eye. You bathe, dress, feed and change the poopiest diapers imaginable...and for what? ...for your son to look you dead in the eye and say "da da"...I'm sorry, what!?!? You mean "ma ma" right?? No, no...he said da da. and the look of "hooray, you said your first word" turns into..."what the hell compelled you to say da da...I'm the one who has spent the most time with you the last 8 months of your life not to mention the 9 months you spent all warm and cozy in my womb!!" But...it is ok cus "da da" will get his one day...that is right...Mommies always prevail!! It is still cute the way he says it over and over...he will just have to learn "ma ma" REALLY quickly.

I love that sound...

After a long hard day at work with a bunch of crazies...I come home to the sound of silence...???? How is this possible...Nate is sick and usually screaming and the t.v. is usually blaring with some show I am sure we can't live our life without watching. But, tonight was different...I walked into silence. I couldn't believe my ears...had my wildest dream come true, certainly not...after all God is still getting me back for all those thing I did in my teens and early twenties. That is how children were "created" I'm sure of it... payback ....God's way of saying "HA!".

Nate was finishing a bottle and the dogs were relatively tame, which is a rarity these days. Matt was reading a book and feeding Nate at the same time...Don't even ask how it is possible for him to pay attention...just go with it. We played a nice game of Scrabble Slam in which I beat Matt's ass 5-0....yes I prevail as Scrabble Slam champion!!!! Yes, this is what we have succumbed to at 8:30 on a Friday night...awesome...yay parenthood!

I am actually having a cup or two or three of some delicious coffee so that I may stay awake long enough to see the joyous homosexuals dance around a bar tonight for my friends birthday. He wants us to Gay bar hop tonight and I have to say I am pretty excited about it...except the whole staying up past 10:30 pm thing...that might be my struggle tonight. Hence, the coffee....numerous cups of coffee...lets hope I survive this one!!!
