Wrong Side of the Bed

Today I woke up on the wrong side of the bed. I was depressed and pissed and not wanting to get out of my cozy bed for nothin'! I haven't been sleeping very good these days thanks to being 15 weeks pregnant, but last night I woke up when hubby came to bed and when my little Liam started babbling (though not crying!) but finally everything settled and I was sleeping good...and then my alarm went off. GRRR! I really look forward to Saturdays and Sundays in a few->10 years when I can finally sleep in again. I look forward to being able to stay up past 10 with my husband and then sleep late because the kids can get themselves cereal and play for a bit. But today I was just in a mood (I did briefly snap out of it when my husband half asleep told me to export the data from the computer's virtual camera when I told him I was getting in the shower) and I really can't seem to shake it. I am, of course, blaming pregnancy and my hormones beign all out of wack for it, but still. I just want to have a nice day.

I Love Cake Day


I love cake day. It truly is one of my favorite days of the entire month...and the fact that it occurs 11 out of 12 months of the year makes it all the better. As I sit her digesting the nasty Stouffer's or Lean Cuisine thing that I just warmed up for myself I just wish it was cake day, because then there would at least be something to look forward to this afternoon. My office has also recently discovered cake outside of the Giant Eagle realm of baking. Now there are fillings! Last week there was a vanilla cheesecake filling...and in June it was strawberry (if there are only 1 or 2 birthdays in a month we try to match the filling to the lucky girl's tastes). Mmmm. Sadly, but not too sadly, during the glorious month of August (my birth month) there are about 8 people that share in the glory with me so I am sure that the cake filling will not be favored by all...but there is always the two options of ice cream.....

I am partially regretting writing this blog because now I think I am going to have to go and see if there is any left over ice cream from last week just to quench my craving (or is it the baby in my belly's craving?). I hope there is some birthday cake ice cream left YUM!

An Experiment...in Blogging


I am obsessed with blogs.

I read mommy-blogs all the time. Who wouldn't want to know the latest method of getting your child to eat or sleep...even if it doesn't work with your kid.

I read money saving blogs...but let's be honest...I just want free ice cream coupons.

I read funny blogs... there is a Top 11 blog that is hysterical...even if the guy is from Cleveland and that knocks his street cred down a notch in my book.

I read friend's blogs...In Bug's Drawers for example...what girl truely doesn't love fashion? I mean even if you suck at it and are a frumpy mommy by age 25 (hmph!).

I read blogs to end Breast Cancer!!!!! Hence my blog is PINK!

So I decided to start my own blog...partly because I lost my voice last night/today because I can't shut up and this allows me the privilege of continuing to talk without sounding like Kermit has taken up permanent residence in my throat (but if you know me feel free to pretend to hear it...it's funny!). Now I hope that I will update this regularly (and not always while at work! opps!!) but I know myself...and my toddler...and "The Riddler" in my belly (sex to be found out August 25th!) so I know that regular blogging might be totally out of the picture...but I hope not. Now if you have come here looking for something specific...good luck! I don't even know what I am going to write about...but I can guarantee plenty of comedy, opinions (like 'em or not!), and there will be pictures of my kiddo(s!). If you want to see more of something feel free to let me know...I love to hear other people's opinions...and then fight with them about the :-)

Enjoy!
