Easter & Lately

Kate has been doing this really funny thing lately. When we are driving somewhere that is a decent distance away (which many things are), she will lay her head to the side and close one eye. By doing this, she is trying to fake me off that she is asleep when I look in the rearview mirror. I know this for a fact the first time I saw her do this and thought something was wrong because the one eye that was closed didn't look stressed at all, so I called her name a few times without much movement. Later she was smiling up a storm. What a little trickster! Kate is also now a "Mommy-Daddy's Girl". If you ask her if she is a "mama's girl", she will say "No, I'm Mommy-Daddy's Girl". So correct! Smart girl! She used to say (when asked if she was a daddy's girl) "Daddy's gotta work, I'm Mama's girl!"

For Real

I decided to do a "REAL" post today. Let me tell you what is really going on in my life. I am currently extremely sleep deprived. I wake up each morning entirely too early for my body and I really want to be an ill-pill all day. Thankfully I have a little curly haired girl that squeaks "Daddy has to work, I'm a Mama's girl" and the mood slowly changes. My 4.5 month old baby who I thought would be sleeping through the night for at least 2 months by now is still waking me up multiple times in the middle of the night hence the extreme sleep deprivation for going on 4+ months now. The doctor told me to start going in to soothe him instead of feed him but when that doesn't work, baby wins. I am currently trying to find the perfect noise makers for both kids' rooms. Then we will be crying it out! Poor baby and mama! I am trying to potty train a child that doesn't really care to be potty trained. After accident upon accident I am thinking I chose cloth diapers instead of disposable ones (because that is what it feels like cleaning those suckers). Oh, did I mention that we are trying to put our house on the market? Yeah, first goal was April 1, then it was moved to April 15th, now May 1st looks like the date. Anyone know what it feels like to be in transition? Unsure of what the future will be like and how you will fit into it. I had this same feeling the summer before moving off to college. Just lovely! How do I get through this time? Realize this quite possibly is the best time of my life. Realize that it won't be like this for long. Realize how completely extremely blessed I am (even when spit upped and pooped upon). :) Also, if any of you guys need a good read, please read my friend Anna's post about "Facebook Depression". It inspired me to do this post. :)
