Friday....

So here were are at week end. Friday's don't mean much to me anymore. In my past life I would count the days until Friday and the weekend. But now all the days are pretty much the same. Don't get me wrong I am NOT complaining, I LOVE being home with my daughter, I'm just saying....
So this weekend was fairly uneventful. Tuesday we v-day. Lindsay went for her 6 month shots, she was pretty good. She cried when the shots were given, but recovered pretty quick. She is such a HAM. The dr's office messed up her length, she's actually 27inches not 26.
Wednesday was a super busy day, we went to Gymboree which was fun, then I went to a v-day baby party at a friend's house. There were soo many babies and mommies (even one daddy) there, it was overwhelming. I was pretty worn out by the end. Not to mention all Lindsay wanted was to be held, which is fine except my arms are ususally killing me by the end.
Thursday winter hit...Literally! It was like -28. I was to go to another baby party (different group) but it was rescheduled to next week. So I stayed in. Same with today.
I've been putting a lot of thought into what I want to do when I return to work,my current plan is to work Monday, Wednesday and Friday full days and work evenings Tuesday and Thursday. Max 30hrs per week. I'm hoping to find a dayhome in our area for Lindsay. I think a woman I know runs one, I'll have to ask her. I'm still sad about going back to work and leaving Lindsay, but there honestly is no other option. It's sad because I love being the center of her world, it'll all change when she's 5 or 6 I'm sure. *sigh* maybe I'll win the lottery....Guess I should buy a ticket.
There are my rambles for this week.

Monday....

Alright the work week has begun (haha)
news news news, i had an interesting weekend. We FINALLY found a dining room table, it's being delivered tomorrow. I'm oh so excited.
our computer has been acting up recently, it refuses to shut down, so I was trying to fix it yesterday and it eventually would shut down, but it would not come up again. So I had to do a system recovery, and unfortunately I lost all my Lindsay photos and videos, as well as my email booooooooohoooooooooooooo, it's sooooo stupid our computer has a recovery program that will alow you to go back to a previous date, well unfortunately that wouldn't work. Good thing is I have all of lindsay's pics loaded on yahoo and 3 of her videos are on another site, and I had all the pics backed up from birth to oct. oh well i spend most of the day loading everything and making it feel like the old computer.
today i went for a walk since the weather is soo nice and I was in a pretty bad mood. Well I get to the gas station on the corner, serve myself a cream soda slurpee and realize I left my wallet at home...BBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ask me if I was impressed. So I sulked the whole way home.
Lindsay turned 6 months old yesterday, I can't believe it!!! She's such a big girl now. She is still teething and I can tell it's really starting to frustrate her. She doesn't seem content with anything. She doesn't want to play, doesn't want to be on the floor, all she wants is to be held. Which is alright but my shoulder is killing me. At least today she napped really well. 2 naps, one was 2hours and the other was 90mins whoooooohoooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!
busy week ahead, tomorrow is lindsay's 6 months shots, Wednesday is gymboree and a baby party with the girls from my pre-natal class, and Thursday is a baby party with the girls from my mommy and me class. Yes I am a busy girl.
today was lindsay's dr's appt, she's 17lbs8oz and 26inches long. She's 75th percentile for weight and 50% for height. She's dropped from 90% at her 3 month appt. not to worry, growth is suppost to slow down (thankfully) she was so good for the dr, she kicked and squealed with delight.
anyhow time to sign off....

So Friday.....

I have to post today because Jen said so ;-)
Hmmmm....Life.....Week was pretty uneventful. Went to Gymboree on Wednesday, shopping with a friend on Thursday and lunch with Jason following by shopping with mother in law on Friday. Yes I do shop a lot. I'm on the hunt for summer clothes to Lindsay. I swear that kid has more clothing than I do.
Yesterday a friend from work called me at home. I realized I have not been up to work since the beginning of December and even that was at night. But I find I've moved on with my life. I am a different person. I don't want to go back to the working life. I like being a stay at home mom, I like play dates, I like gymboree, I like baby parties, I like being with my child all day, I like being at home. I just don't want to go back to the drama and the sales goals. Ah well 6 more months of freedom left.
Still no dining room table. We looked again tonight without success. Oh well one day we'll find one.
Lindsay learned how to stick her tongue out at people. She's been doing it all day and doing PFFFFFFFFFFFTTTTTT pretty cute. I guess all those weeks of sticking my tongue out at her has finally paid off.
Olympics have officially started GO CANADA GO!!!!! I'm one of those people who gets all psyched about the Olympics then doesn't watch any of it. Last summer Olympics I got into synchronized diving. Winter all I care about is hockey. GO CANADA!!!
Well I ought to sign off.
ME!

Tuesday....

Honestly there is nothing going on right now. Today I watched Napoleon Dynamite, played with Lindsay and took Lindsay for a walk. Not overly exciting. Yesterday was pretty much the same. Went shopping with my mom and out for dinner.
I was a tad bored today. Lindsay is constantly sucking on her hands. So much that they are constantly red. So today as I was dressing her I, for some odd reason decided to put socks on her hands...Here is the result

She thought the whole thing was pretty cool. The socks were soaked when I took them off!!

So they announced yesterday that the Gov't expects to start the $1200 child credit program in July. I'm pretty excited, sure it's only $100 a month, but every little bit helps. I still have no idea what I'm going to do about work. I know I have to go back, but the thought makes me want to cry. I'm hoping to work part time, but we'll see what happens.

Anyhow Lindsay just woke up Here's another good pic, my cat is a little weird.

Sunday....

So we continued our shopping for a dinning room table. And we still do not have one. We found one we really liked at Ashley Furniture, but it wasn't on display only in the catalogue, so we asked about the price ($1050...Perfect!!!) and about the return policy. So they have NO return policy, if you don't like it you are stuck with it. So we walked away. I've found one a little on the brick's website, we'll go look at it later this week. Hopefully we'll like it.

SOOO....Lindsay is almost 6 months (on the 12th!!) and we decided to try her on rice cereal yesterday. It was a semi success, she ate a bit of it. We'll keep going, I'm sure she'll get the hang of it. But it was so weird, near the end she was getting fussy because she was hungry, she doesn't associate the cereal with food. I'm just fasicnated with her and how she discovers new things.

Speaking of Lindsay being 6 months, I can not believe how fast time has gone by. At the beginning it was soo slow because she wasn't sleeping through the night and all she did was sleep, but now the months just fly by. I really wish I could freeze time. I want her to stay little forever....Okay little but potty trained :-)

Enough for now...my parents returned from Cuba last night.

So Saturday...

Today we went looking for a new dinningroom table and chairs...easier said than done. We visited a number of stores. Saw one I really liked, but it was $4,000 just a little out of the price range of $1500. Anyways no sucess. We'll keep looking, there is no rush.

So the saga of taking Lindsay out continues. We met mil and her sister and husband for dinner at Tony Romas (mmmmmmm ribs) and lindsay was pretty fussy. The most frustrating thing for me is the constant suggestions "She's hungry, try a bottle" my lord where IS my brain, i never thought of that?!?! *snicker* *snicker* so that continued throughout the meal. VERY frustrating, I know everyone is just trying to help, but it just makes a stressful situation even more stressful.

We're home now and she's sound asleep...of course.

Leafs won tonight, so that was good. Hopefully they are breaking their losing streak. Fingers crossed.

The Olympics start soon, I must say I'm pretty excited. Too bad it's in Italy and all the events are on in the middle of the night.

We'll see what Sunday will bring...

Moi

Alright....So today is my mother in law's birthday. Her sister and husband came down today from Edmonton. So Jason, Lindsay and I head up to eat and visit.....I had lindsay to my aunt-in-law and Lindsay starts screaming her little head off. ARG!!!!! So I take her back (not gonna get a break tonight...) and she screams and screams, there's snot everywhere and it takes me 20mins to get her calmed down. I finally am able to sit and have a little dinner and lindsay's all happy, hanging out on my lap. So I pass her over to my mother in law and everything's alright, lindsay gets a tab fussy, so mil goes to give her a bottle and all hell breaks loose, full on tears, snot arms going everywhere....It's a total gong show.....ERG!! So we decide to try and put her down for a nap, doesn't work....So we finally leave.

Here are my issues.....I would prefer not to hand Lindsay over after she's had a freak out, but I feel guilty and feel everyone will think I'm a hogging her if I don't let others hold her, but on the other hand I know she'll probably freak out. What to do, what to do. Second issue, is I went to TWO baby parties this week and both times had someone hold Lindsay while I take my jacket off etc and no crying, no freak outs....But I visit with family and she freaks out...HUH?????????? Jason thinks it's smoke that bothers Lindsay, I don't know what it is other than annoying.

So there is my bitch du jour.

Nothing else going on here, Lindsay is a joy, she's pretty funny these days, she'll spend most of her time staring at me...Or "talking" to herself.

Signing off....

Finally

Alright, so a friend of mine started a blog a little while ago and she's been suggesting to me that I start one. My response "yeah but all i would talk about would be Lindsay" and she said that that would matter, so here we go.....Lindsay or me being bitter about something
