quick update and things I hate

life is so hectic right now. I have felt for a week straight like I just want to quit my job. Housework and babycare with a husband who works 50 hours a week is hard to juggle with a 24 hour/week job! Many vents were said, and many prayers were said, and I am convinced and have had many indications that I need to keep going and not be discouraged. I can do it. I just will have hairy legs and an ugly no makeup face a lot of the time. Ross told me I'm still beautiful- God bless him.

Tonight and this afternoon I was so busy I didn't have time to eat- so I ate the leftover pureed sweet potatos and peas that Maddy didn't want. Score! I spend so much time making sure my baby has everything all natural and pure; and yet my diet consists of string cheese (quick protien) and Clif bars with the occasional hit of McDonalds fries. It seems so backwards, but I'm working on it.

Oh yeah, things I hate (for some reason I wanted to stress this:)
-"Heeleys" or those shoes with the wheel on the heel. I hate them with a passion. If anyone ever gifts these to Maddy, then some lucky boy or girl will come across a brand new, unused pair of Heeley's at the Salvation Army.
-Cheesy pictures with Babies heads in the center of a big flower. Can you say butt ugly? There are tons in Maddy's pediatrician clinic and they make me almost angry because I hate them so much.

Okay, time to bathe and put my girl to bed.

The only thing worse than Anne Geddes pictures are fake or "cheap knockoff" Anne Geddes pictures. And the only thing worse than seeing them in a pediatrician's office is seeing one posted to the ceiling, right above the examination table at an obgyn visit. SERIOUSLY. Maybe that's TMI, but it was abhorring enough for me to switch doctors' offices.

BTW, I'm sorry we weren't able to discuss babysitting options a few weeks earlier. Just know that, if no one else is available on a week-to-week basis, you can always check and see if I'm available. Wish I could help out with and offer more!

Take care, Ammes. Don't forget to EAT! :) Hopefully this will all pass soon enough.

Not sure if "abhorring" is a word. Hmm. Appalling... there, that's better.
