It's one of those days

When the world is caving in cause people you love are in a bind and you are helpless to do anything for them. I am just so grateful for God at times like this, knowing that He alone is in control of it all, soothes my soul. We were blindsided but He saw it all coming and is holding us in His hands. How will He answer prayers and bring good out of this mess I have no clue but I know without a doubt He will.

"Shout to the Lord, all the earth let us sing. Power and majesty praise to the king. Mountains bow down and the seas will roar at the sound of your name. I sing for joy at the work of your hands, forever I'll love you, forever I'll stand. NOTHING compares to the promise I have in you."

Just some thoughts

Haven't blogged in awhile. Too busy surfing the net, playing on Babyfit and getting obsessed with Facebook. That site is all about time suckage, you get drawn in so easily to all the things you can send to your friends and don't even get me started on all the quizzes I waste time on.

It's really disappointing when something doesn't live up to the hype created around it. Recently I have been watching some older, "classic" films that have really blown. Just to name a few, Taxi Driver, Mutiny on the Bounty and today Scarface. Really they were boring and just so over rated.

Ben is 4 months old now and just more and more amazing everyday. He's so funny and smart and just developing new skills everyday. His strongest skill? Keeping mommy wrapped around his little finger.

So Thanksgiving is just a few days away, I'm having two dinners, one with my sister and her family on Wednesday and then with my husband and his parents on Thursday. I can't wait to stuff my face with all the yummy food! But mostly I am thankful for my family, and friends and the chance to spend time with them to celebrate the season!

Seriously?

I went to Target in Tulsa over the weekend because we had some gift cards we needed to use and I was VERY disappointed by their baby section in general but mostly by the lack of BOY clothes. They had like 1 1/2 racks of boy stuff and a flopitygazillion racks of girl clothes. Whats up with that? I mean I know most boys are not as into clothes as girls are but i want my kid to have cute clothes, why do these people think Moms only want to buy cute stuff for girl babies? I am offended on behalf of all the male children everywhere. Steve said "Well women like to dress their little princesses and the ones who didn't have girls don't care enough about their boys to give a hoot.." He's so cynical sometimes, but looking at that selection it kinda made me wonder if he's right!

Ben had his first sleepover with his grandparents Saturday night so Steve and I could have date night. He did great but I missed him so much. Steve and I have our one year wedding anniversary coming up and are planning a weekend getaway so this was a dry run. I am one of those girls that always over packs so he made fun of me for all the stuff I sent to his mom's for "just one night." I kept telling him this time I'm not over packing-it's stuff he really needs. He says he dreads the day he has to pack the car with both our stuff!! HA!

Another day

Ben has become the biggest titty baby the last few days. He wants to be held non-stop and I don't mind it so much except that its hard to listen to him cry when I am doing important things like using the potty.

Speaking of the potty one of my cats has been using Steve's bathmat as their personal latrine and so we just got rid of it and today they peed directly on the tile. I will strangle the litter bugger if I catch them....(not really, don't call the ASPCA on me.)

I am enjoying being a SAHM mom but am starting to think I need a hobby or something, I'm feeling restless. But maybe it's because summer is over and I missed it. Because of the pregnancy and stuff I didn't do anything outdoorsy and don't even have a tan for the first time in like forever so I feel blah. Even though I love fall....

Not much else to report, just enjoying the return of the new TV season.

Milestones and Musings....

So Ben turned 2 months old today!!! Can't believe how the time has flown and how much I adore this child...his smiles take my breath away.

So my musings for today are that I broke my stinking cell phone. I have a REd Treo 680. It's my cool RED phone that I love and I dropped it and cracked the screen so there is no fixing it. ARGH! Luckily since I used to work for AT&T I have another phone in reserve so I don't have to buy a new one.

And whoever decided to put TV shows on the internet for online viewing is a genius! I accidentaly erased last nights episode of Fringe but at least I can still watch it......

Here goes nothing

This is my first blog, or at least my first other than my Myspace page. I have nothing important to say today. I did manage to clean the kitchen-thats a huge deal. The baby is sleeping and I am watching a Law & Order re-run as I wait for Ben to wake up and the season premire of House. And I confess to watching the new 90210...on Tuesdays too. I'm weak, I admit it. I'm starving and looking forward to when Steve gets off work, it's two for one burger night at Sonic so cheesebugers and tots it is!! Well I see my sweet love's eyes opening and I am sure he will be hungry so I must run for now!!!
