Today I feel as though I have nothing to talk about. Which is odd, because I always have things on my mind. Today? I'm totally blank.

Yesterday morning I get into my very first fender-bender on campus at work. Smashed right into the car in front of me at the stop sign. Roads were wet, I wasn't paying attention..whatever. Cars were fine, we were fine..so we shook hands and called it a day. Phew

Last night Jackie and I took a light jog around the neighborhood after Abby was in bed..and it was, well..intersting..to say the least. The very least.

So far today I've fed Abby breakfast, cleaned the kitchen, vacuumed the living room, put Abby down for a nap, and now there's a pile of clothes sky high in my hallway begging for me to wash them. but I don't feel like it. It's 1pm, I'm wearing my daily attire (yoga pants & a tank) dr. 90210 is on the Style channel and there's a bowl of Lucky Charms in my lap...and it's heaven. It's quiet and the sun is peeking its way through the half-closed blinds as I sit here with my sleepy eyes and feeling completely relaxed. I probably only have a short hour until Abby is awake and its back to changing diapers and the laundry in the hall will pretty much be screaming my name by then, so until then...a couch potato I am ;)

Home again, Home again

The worst part about vacation is always coming home. Although the ride back always seems to go much quicker - your left with a weeks worth of cleaning to do & mounds of laundry to do and things to unpack. We've been lazy since we got home..so none of this has even been questioned until today when I woke up & decided I didn't have a choice but to start scrubbin' & sweepin'

I can't believe I'm about to do this..but have a look at our just-back-from-vacation & not-feeling-like-doing-a-damn-thing apartment.





...Yikes!

I got things moving & although I had a little girl who insisted on making more mess or doing this:




...I was able to get the majority of the house work done before noon. Afterwards:




I hate cleaning. But Jake is right. When it comes 1oclock & Abby goes down for her afternoon nap, I do feel so much more refreshed & rejuivinzed sipping my tea or coffee on freshly fluffed couch pillows & freshly vaccumed carpet, and watching my shows on a freshly dusted TV ;)

After Abby's nap I noticed a weird rash on her ankles and feet. I examined her more & noticed that it was also on her belly..arms, and head. I immediately checked her temp & it was a low grade 100.1..hmm. I called her ped who wanted to see her to rule out Chicken Pox. Well, it turns out she's apparently in the clear. I'm not completely convinced yet..but she apparently thinks that since the rash started on her lower extremities & went upward..it's probably not the pox, and since the bumps aren't pussing or itchy yet then their probably not chicken pox. She thinks she must of either got some bug bites or had a virus & the virus broke out in a rash. But, I don't know how she could of gotten 20 bug bites today, since we were just hanging around the house & she hasn't even been sick. So I'm kind of stumped, but her ped thinks its nothing to worry about. My mommy instincts are telling me something else is going on, but we'll see how she feels in a couple days. I could just be over reacting & being a worry wart first time mama..but like I said, we'll see!



Doesn't seem to be bothering her much though, eh?

Snap back to reality

Back to reality today. & Let me just tell you, after a long & crazy week and last nights festivities..I'm not complaining that things are starting to get back to normal.

Vacation was a blast, but no one was joking when they said going out of town with an infant isn't easy! I'm definitely exhausted and waking up with a throbbing headache didn't help matters. However, with a bit of coke & crackers I felt back to normal & headed to go pick up my little angel.

I don't even have the energy to post. I didn't have the energy to clean, and I didn't have the energy to unpack. You should see the mounds of laundry & things from the trip.. that are just waiting for me to help them find their home spot. I didn't have the energy to make dinner..so Jake and I had a mixture of turkey sandwiches, diet mountain dew, and apple sauce. Abby had a combination of butter noodles & yogurt.

All I've felt like doing all day is relaxing with my girl. I don't think we've ever spent so much time rolling around & crawling on the floor together as we did today. She actually enjoyed all the new piles of mess to explore.

After a nice, warm bubble bath, some bedtime lotion & bed time stories my little one could hardly keep her eyes open. Must feel so good for baby girl to relax and sleep in her own bed.

As for me? My life revolves around the discovery health channel & baked Doritos at the present time. I'm drained, completely drained. Sorry this post sucks, but I must go lay back down. Later :)
