Just a hamster wheel!

Wow so in the past few weeks I have managed to go through like a million different things..Lets just say I got a crawling baby, took my dog, baby and husband on a 3 hour drive to Yuma for the weekend that was just a crazy adventure, and now miss Joy is walking when you hold her hands. So its probably accurate to say that I am getting much more unintended exercise then needed. Things are just going so fast and being so crazy that I feel like a fat tired hamster just running and running in his little wheel...I never knew.. how with nothing to do you have EVERYTHING to do and are soo busy.. and some how there is just never enough time.. Just like a hamster you think you are so bored but then you have this wheel to run in and you dont ever get anywhere lol..I love my whole hamster analogy haha. But today is a beautiful day and I totally rocked.  I got up early and cleaned the whole house!!! Something must be in the water cause It didnt take long because yesterday I cleaned too!!! What is wrong with me!! haha..and i have to admit..I have found a new love..yess A NEW LOVE!!!!!!!!!!! Little miss Joy got a highchair!!!! Its very cute and it goes on your chair and has little straps.  So lets talk about the reasons why there is so much love being spread over there!  Before the highchair... I fed Joy her baby food in her swing.....yess a swing..cant you tell I am a new mom. I had the hardest time feeding her in that stupid swing..She would swing herself back and forth and I would try to get a spoonful in her mouth and it would end up all over her face! And then she would turn her face and swing and then once again..baby food ALL over the place..of course she would be having the best time...and then to top it off...i would have to bend down and get close to her so i could feed her and she would sneeze...yess sweet potatoes all over my face and in my mouth and on my eye lashes...and also she would do this spitting noise and that would create the same mater piece all over my face.. so pretty much we would both end of in the bathtub at least twice a day..So I have a strong love for this new highchair....it keeps her contained!!!! and also i dont have to be that close when she gets the urge to sneeze and spit!!! soo no more food chunks on moms face!!! i couldnt be happier!!!! Joy even likes it! She has fallin asleep in it a few times and she props her bottle up on the tray so she doesnt even have to use her hands its pretty hilarious! So anyways thats that!!! so I am thinking i am going to get off this crazy hamster wheel and take a much needed nap....lol. 

I am one of those!!!!

WOW is all i have to say..So I had to write this little story down it was too funny to pass up! So Joy was on the floor playing with this toy that plays music and chad was laying by her talking to me and i was on the couch.  The song twinkle twinkle little star came on. She was excited about it because I sing it to her every night hoping that some day it might put her to sleep but..it never does..sooo she knows the song well.. But because chad and I are sometimes a little tired and crazy..... things just happen.....haha..soo chad starts to sing along with the song in a different octave with an accent and i just couldnt sit there silently and so i chime in and i pick and accent and a higher octave and so pretty much we are jamming to twinkle twinkle little star and then right when i am sure we were going to get up and start dancing...Joy some how turns the music up louder and louder and gave us this nasty look.... chad and i just looked at each other with sad faces..its like she silenced us.. I felt like i was in middle school again when i would sing really cool and confident to the radio and some punk kid would come up to me and ask who sings the song and of course i would say Backstreet Boys duh!!! and he would say..why dont we keep it that way...and then you feel like your a small singing bug that just got voted off!!!! I think today is one of those life changers when you realize...you are THAT mom. THAT thinks they are cool.. and then realizes by the love of your child...that you are not...i was just hoping it wasnt goin to be when she was almost 7 months old....sad day...

I'm a mess!!

So I dont know if I am the only one who does this..But I find myself waking up not as early as I wanted to..So as I am lying in bed hearing that one sound....my stomach!!! I realize I hear another sound..My sweet Joy waking up!! So here it is..the two things my brain can comprehend at this moment in time...FOOD and BABY NEEDS FOOD.  Who will win???? haha Of course the baby always wins.. she is the only one that can beat me!  But me being who I am ...I have to find a way to do both!!! I am all about 2 for 1 deals!! So I get my sweet morning kisses from Joy and then off to the kitchen we go!! As her bottle warms in a cup of water I hurry and get some breakfast/anything I can find. As fast as possible... Yesss fajitas!! Yummy fast and oh how delightful...yess it was before noon...and its not really a breakfast food but I was a desperate girl and these were dangerous times.. dont judge!  So i grab the babe and her bottle, and then i have my food in the other hand...if only i could grow another hand things would be lovely! But I conquered it and made it to the couch with the food!! yesss mission accomplished! or so I thought..So it has come to my realization  that its not simple for me to eat anything or yet do anything with my  non-dominate hand...So here is the layout..Me on the couch, baby in the left hand (the hand I write with) and I have my arm wrapped around her so that I can hold her and feed her with the same arm.. yess like I said these were desperate times!!! Next I have my food on the right side of me on the couch..Lets just say I cant do poop with my right hand! But I was determined to eat while the baby eats!! Soo Joy is totally calm and enjoying herself and I am concentrating hard on connecting my fork with food and bringing it to my mouth..Ya so pretty much I ended up spilling my fajitas ALL over me!!! But...i did make some of it to my mouth so I was feeling pretty good.... and also!! I knew this was going to take a bit of time to clean up...so I was going to have to post pone my work out a bit longer!! MISSION ACCOMPLISHED! 

it's come to this!!!

After my multitasking of feeding Joy her bottle in one hand and stalking people on facebook with the other hand I have come to the conclusion that I am incredibly bored!  I think mostly that I am using every fiber of my bean not to work out! So my next step to my trend in finding everything else to do but work out is to BLOG! So now time to catch up with my very exciting life! I am goin to start with Easter because I will be the first to tell you my "dumb" pregnancy brain hasn't decided to leave yet..and I simply can't remember what happened before Easter haha. So the night before Easter at 11pm I remembered we hadnt colored eggs yet! I am a girl who craves traditions! So there was no way I was going to go to sleep or even yet, let chad or baby sleep until we colored our Easter eggs! And by golly there had to be pictures taken of the event! I am also a girl with a crazy need to document every waking moment and memory! So at about midnight the baby was fed and in her pjs, chad was dead with red sleepy eyes, and i was forcing my red sleepy eyes open enough to dunk my eggs in some random color that i didnt care about and take as many stupid pictures of us doing it as possible. Lets just say keeping Joy up that late wasnt the best idea..This little spit fire of a girl collected even more energy then imaginable and wouldnt stop moving or being loud for the fact that she didnt want to stop moving and realize that she really was tired.. So because chad is a a better person then I he stayed up with me until our Joy finally fell asleep at 2am.. So sadly we accidently slept through the first session of conference and our Easter morning became afternoon..Chad and I woke up and looked at each other and all that i was thinking was wow i picked a good one..If he can look at me like this ( pretty much a train wreck with medusa hair) and not scream at the disaster with blood shot eyes he called a wife then things were good!! So we made it in time for the second session at the church and had a great time poking each other when we saw the head bob.. ALL BECAUSE I HAD TO HAVE MY TRADITIONS!!  you would think i could of let this one go but nope i was too stubborn and i couldnt give in. Maybe one day i will learn....so of course we didnt take a nap when we got home..because there has to be an Easter egg hunt!!!!! I dont think chad realized the monster he was marrying!  So with our blood shot eyes we enjoyed hiding 3 eggs for Joy and then taking turns hiding eggs for each other.. It was a great time!! and there was lots of pictures! I was very impressed with Joy!! She caught on right away!! I think she has it in her blood the importance of the egg hunt!! Watch out!!! haha.. Of course after that we got in the kitchen and cooked away!!! It was great! haha well i thought so! and so to conclude the craziness of our Easter..we ate..and ate and then all three of us plopped on the couch and passed out for a much needed nap! Oh how I love family traditions!!!!!!!!! I guess now its time for me to work out.
