~On With My Life~

And I'm on with my life...

There are so many things going on now and in the near future, that my head is actually spinning.

 

Rowan had dance class last night.  It went okay.  Her main teacher was coming down with something (Thanks! Like I need you locked up in a windowless room with my daughter so you can give her germs!!) so she let the assistant teach the class. They worked on their dance for the Christmas recital and then proceeded to play "Follow the Leader".  Thankfully they had to do something with dance.

Rowan's Nana (my MIL) showed up at the studio to watch Rowan and visit with Zachary.  Rowan seemed to enjoy having someone besides 'Mom' there watching her.  She is such a ham sometimes, it isn't even funny :)

On the way home, I had Rowan sing "My Humps" by The Blackeyed Peas with me.  She cracks me up, that child.  Yet, she rather sing "Hollarback Girl" by Gwen Steffani :)  So we did that one too.

I swear, we must be a sight.  Singing at the top of our lungs and dancing in our seats.  Unfortunetly, the windows in the back of the Tahoe do have some tint to them... So I'm guessing that the people see me doing this instead of us both... lol.

 

Derek reminded me today that Christmas is right around the corner.  To be exact, Christmas is 45 days away!!  Ugh, I'm so not in the "Ho Ho Ho" mood lately thanks to our money issues... And of course, the little boy that my husband is, must have "bunches and bunches" of toys under the tree.  He likes to be spoiled, that is for sure!!

I've already cracked down and have gotten Rowan 3 gifts.  That isn't much, but I'm sure there won't be too many more.  She gets spoiled so much by my inlaws (all those presents come home- while the ones she gets from my parents stay at their home) that we don't buy her too many gifts at this age. 

I haven't bought anything for Mr. Z yet though.  I'm not too sure what toget a 10 month old (thats how old he'll be at Christmas) really.  I have thought about going out to a really nice baby boutique and find him a really nice blanket.  He loves the blankets that I have on my couches.  They are really soft and have these frilly things hanging off the ends.  If I can find something nice and similiar to that, I'll get it for him and then have "Baby's First Christmas" put on it.  There are some "gym" type things that I have seen from Fisher Price that I might look into.  But does a 10 month old really understand Christmas??  And will he play with the boxes and paper more than the gift??  You know he will :)

 

::more spinning... more spinning::

 

Today is my Daddy's birthday.  He is a whole 50 years old.

Happy Birthday Dad... Love you bunches and bunches...

I'd tell you what we are giving him for his birthday, but he reads my journal.  So I don't wanna spoil the Wonderful gift he'll be getting :)

I guess tonight is my last "free" night of the week.

I don't have anything to do but help my Daddy celebrate his birthday.

Tomorrow I have to go and help my friend with her favors for the wedding.  I'm sure I'll be gone for a while.  I'll have to make sure I DVR "Survivor", "CSI" and "The O.C." because I have no idea when I'll be home!  I hope I'm home by 8pm, so I can relieve my parents from their babysitting duties and be able to put my kids to bed myself.

 

Speaking of kids in their beds...

Rowan is finally sleeping really well in hers and Mr. Z is sleeping really well in Mine :o

Yep, my son has come attached to sleeping in bed with me and napping in someones arms.  Eeek... this is going to be hard to break. 

But secretly, I love to have him in bed with me...lol.  The other thing, the napping in the arms, is something that makes life difficult.

 

Oh oh!  Get this!!

 

My Husband FINALLY has a evening off!!  An evening off that he'll be spending at home... I'm so excited :)

Friday night Derek will be home with his wife and babes.  I think we'll make a nice dinner and maybe watch a movie or two.  He had mentioned maybe going out on a date, but that isn't going to happen... So staying home and being together is the next best thing!

 

And of course Saturday is the "WILD NIGHT"... lol.  I'm not sure how WILD it will get, but thankfully I'm going to be able to go out and have some fun.

I think I really need it... What do you think??? lol...

 

Well, I need to get myself going... I took a long enough break from my work.  Yippee Skippy... Maybe I'll go make myself my bagel now as another distraction... haha!!

 

Have a Wonderfully Fun HUMP DAY my friends...
