Overdue

Wow...I haven't written about anything in a long while.  I am guessing I just haven't made the time; probably too busy with other things that seem more important.  Olivia is still napping, and I will be heading to Jaime's soon, as she graciously agreed to watch O for a while so I could have HAIR DAY!!!!  Much looked forward to and way over due.  Had to cancel my appt in August due to babysitting issues, so I am so ready to see my best hair gal Becky for a new look.  Perhaps you will see a photo here later.

"Free time"

Olivia is sleeping.  The neighbors are doing their yard work...and I am on the computer. 

Cleo has gone missing.  We haven't seen her since Saturday morning.  The kitties roam the back yard now, playing with the birds and the squirrels.  They never go far...but Cleo has not come back.  I miss her so much.  Nothing on Craig's list.  Need to check with the Humane Society.  Maybe she is just hanging out with another nice family...hopefully. 

I got most of my stuff back from Kelso PD.  Apparently, they caught the guy and his truck was full of stolen items.  I guess he stole a lot of purses that day.  I am glad he got caught.  He really ruined my day.  But, I got my diaper bag back, and my daughter and I weren't harmed, so all in all, a very good ending. 

Didn't have to work last night.  Hopeing I get out of working tonight as well.  Party this weekend.  Looking forward to it!

Looks like summer is actually here, now!

Feeling a bit violated today...

Well, it has finally happened to me.  My diaper bag was taken from my shopping cart today, while I was browsing for some new linens for the guest room.  I felt so sick to my stomach when I realized it was gone, and then somewhat panicky on top of that.  They took Olivia's bottle, and all her diapers as well as my wallet/house and car keys, my good sunglasses, and my iphone headphones.  Thank goodness for dad, who came and picked us up and took us to Jeff's work so I could get his house key.  The front door lock has been changed.  I will have to get my driver's license and a new key for the Jeep tomorrow.  Canceled my debit card and ordered another, and have a watch on my credit record in case anything funny happens.  And, I miss my bag, which was made by Queen Bee, and was a gift from Jeff after Olivia was born.  But, mostly I am just pissed off, because the one time I am not wearing my bag across my chest is the day that they nab it.  Ugh!

Now just waiting for Jeff to get home from the airport with his sister and brother-in-law (hence, why I was shopping for linens).  Olivia is already sound asleep, so I have a little peace and quiet for a bit.  A couple beers have helped as well.  Hopefully tomorrow will be better...I hope.

Here is to some occasional wine-ing

Hmm.  I have not done a very good job of keeping up to date with my blog.  I always want to write stuff, but finding the time is something I have not managed very well.  I will continue to try and improve on that. 

Last weekend was fun.  We headed to Kennewick for a quick trip.  Aunt Mary watched Olivia for a bit so Jeff and I could go to Walla Walla to the Doubleback Winery opening.  I met Drew Bledsoe, who owns said winery.  He even poured my wine.  That was pretty sweet.  And the wine is pretty good stuff for a first year wine.  A pretty decent cab.  Looking forward to future bottles.

Mary and Olivia seemed to have a grand time.  I got several pictures from her throughout the day, so I know they were doing ok.  In fact, I don't think Olivia missed me very much!! :)

Glee season finale is tonight...although I will probably be watching it tomorrow.  I know it is going to be good.  Just love listening to the soundtrack.  The songs are so good!

Zombies do live!

I know this to be true, because I am one right now.  Or, I think I feel like one might feel.  Still awake and functioning somewhat on about 2 hours of sleep, I am feeling somewhat in a zombie-like state.  Walking around with no real sense of direction or purpose.  It was all I could do today to stay awake while Olivia was awake.  She absolutely would NOT nap for longer than 20 minutes (so frustrating).  This makes for a more tired mommy and a very crabby baby....Sheesh.  She usually goes to bed around 6:30pm, but I was already putting her in the crib at 10 minutes to 6.  I think the screaming and rubbing of the eyes were big clues.  Aside from the screaming, I have those same clues (I want to scream, does that count?).  Now, however, I am passed the point of sleep for a bit and have to wait for the urge to come back...besides, if I went to bed now, I would be up at 0300....No thank you.  I have been very neglectful to my blog writing...I will try to remember to be more diligent.  Heading to Seattle this weekend so Jeff and watch the curling league up there.  Maybe a little shopping before we come home.  It will be Olivia's first trip.  Should be interesting!

Celebrating family

The whole fam came to our house today.  Initially, I think it was a just because kind of event.  Then, it sort of turned into an impromptu early birthday party for my nephew, Jacob. I can't believe he is going to be 4 years old.  Wow.  It wasn't complete, though, as I was missing my sister Teri and her family.  But we managed to have a good time anyway.  We had yummy Thai food and tasty birthday cake (of which I have the left overs to snack on tomorrow).  All in all, a very good day!

Just because....

I am too tired or sleep deprived to think of anything witty....
