Keeping Busy

Im trying to keep my self busy these days til my hubby gets back. i had alot of fun in WA last week. i partied my ASS OFF at my dads 60th. and then i was hungover for a couple days. then i got a cold. i also got a tattoo. i got Lola's footprints around my wrists like the other kids'. it was nice and cold there and i loved it. i had to drive a PT cruiser which was lame, but oh well. the kids got to see everyone and i loved to visit with the family. the time went by so quickly but i was glad to get back home. the kids all did really well on the plane too. on the way home we all just zonked out and slept the whole way... so nice.



i wasnt going to decorate the house this year for xmas cause we arent going to be here but then i started thinking that maybe i should.... so i did. then i got carried away. i ended up cleaning the garage since i was out there anyways and then i made my way thru the house and cleaned the back yard, dog poop and all. after mowing and raking i decide to start on the dog. so he got his nails clipped and a both. he is such a good boy.
i lost my voice 2 days ago and i can only whisper. so the kids are getting away with alot since i cant yell at them. but tonight they had a food fight with their pizza at dinner tonight and then started pulling each others hair! WTF? haha they got busted and went to bed early.... like 7pm (oh well it was dark out already.) i got their school pics today. they look so good. damn i have some good lookin babies.
Lola had another visit from the developmentalist today. it went great. she is developing like a normal baby would. when i put her on her belly she scoots around and turns in a circle. she even rolled over front to back and bakc to front with a little help. it was awesome. she is smiling alot more too. its so cute when i go into her room when i hear her wake up and she is just babbling in her crib she smiles when she sees me, like she is so happy to see me. it melts my heart.
matt got word that he might be getting home a little sooner than we thought. which of course i freakin LOVE. i HATE when he is gone. i makes me nuts.

Its November already?!

wow time goes by so fast! we are already seeing Christmas stuff around. its nuts to think that the baby is almost 3 months old!


she still feels brand new. she is getting to be big girl tho. she can hold her head up for a long time by herself now and she is drinking 150-180 mls. that pretty much happened over night. i don't think I'm going to continue pumping- its too much work trying to keep up with her appetite. that will free up alot of my day to get other things done too.
today is Matt's USMC ball in temecula. I'm not going cause we didn't think that we would be able to find a sitter for Lola. and also i don't think i could be away from her for that long. so he is going to get all dressed up and look all handsome and I'm gonna miss out. lame.
then on the 15th he is leaving for Mojave viper. I'm really not looking forward to that. i hate when we are apart. he wont be home til mid December. at least that time will be broken up by my trip to Washington. I'm really excited about that. i cant wait to see my family and friends. i have missed them so much. a week with them is just what i need. i get to cook thanksgiving dinner too. and they all get to meet Lola. the kids are really excited too. they love to travel and they are missing everybody back home too. now i just have to figure out if we have any warm clothes and then ship them up there before hand so i don't have to drag 3 kids and luggage thru that airport. i was really stressing that. i guess sending it thru ups is cheaper than paying the luggage fee at the airport.
as soon as Matt gets home from Mojave viper we are going to be driving to Nebraska for the whole Christmas vacation. I'm not sure how that is going to work out. I'm scared to travel in the snow and we will have to stop every few hours to feed the baby. thank goodness my mom and Hans will be coming to stay at our house and they can take care of hunter for us while we are gone- that is one less thing to worry about. now we just nee to find someone to feed him for the first week that we are gone. maybe i will ask a girlfriend to come and house sit- we'll see.
i started working out again and Matt and i brought the elliptical in the house. i have to say that i hate working out and i am not motivated at all. but i have to do it- maybe it will get easier... maybe not. *sigh*
