Random thoughts...



* My child would rather eat paper, plastic, or cardboard than play with any of his many baby toys. And... I'm a bad mom and let him do it, all the time. Well, I guess he doesn't really eat it, he just gums it until its mush.

* I absolutely, positively hate the people at Gold's Gym. I probably shouldn't say hate because I really don't know any of them, I just really, really hate being hassled for one thing or another every time I walk into that place. Working out is bad enough and getting harassed by the people that work there makes it that much more unpleasant.

* Eating healthy sucks! Mac and cheese, warm delights, peanut butter twix and brownies will win hands down, any day, over the not too tasty Naked Nuggets from Costco. For something healthy, the nuggets really aren't that bad, but I'll be honest, my self control is severely limited so we'll see how long the eating healthier thing lasts.

* Sometimes when I am home during the day and the baby is sleeping and all is quiet, I get a knot in my stomach. I tend to spend those times thinking way too much about stupid worrisome things instead of enjoying the quiet. It's very strange. It happened just this afternoon and I had to tell myself over and over again to relax. Who does that??? I'm a freak! Maybe I need some Paxil or something!

* Last night Drake was a nightmare! Well, a nightmare for his usual self. He cried on and off for most of the night. Last week I stopped getting up and giving him his binky when he cried out, thinking that it would lead to him realizing that he didn't need his binky all night long. I thought it was working but last night he was worse than ever. I was awake most of the night either listening to him whine or waiting for him to start! Ahh!! He has been such an amazing sleeper from day one and really still is 99% of the time, but this crying business is for the birds. I NEVER get him up out of bed and he is usually not even awake, so you'd think he would stop sooner or later. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it's sooner, not later! I do not function on small amounts of sleep.

* Reggie has been driving me crazy lately! The other day, I just about threw him out the window. He woke the baby up from all three naps with his ridiculous barking at absolutely nothing. I really do adore my dogs but I've got to come up with a solution for the barking. My child, like me, requires a lot of sleep and being woken up by the dog is not cutting it.

* We are leaving for Hawaii in six days. Momma and Poppa Weave are taking the whole crew to Hawaii for a little vacation! We are so super excited and grateful for the chance to go however; I am so dreading the flight there and back. I am the world's worst traveler and flying that far with a baby is never a treat, let alone with a sick momma.

* My child is entertaining himself right now by spitting all over himself and he's loving it!

* My mom has had to start back to school this past week and I hate it already! It was so nice this summer to just call her randomly throughout the day to chat about whatever.

I suppose that's enough nothingness for today.

Keep holding out at night! I didn't and I now wished I had. I still get up about once a night to give him is binkie... or usually end up bringing him into bed with us about 5 am or so. Hopefully I will do better with my next baby.

Tanner has to fall asleep with the binki but pops it out on his own right before he falls asleep....I don't know what I would do if he woke up needing it in the middle of the night...actually I do....

I would just go give it to him. YEAH I'm lazy! I would MUCH rather let him have his binki (which is what he would want) and me get sleep (which is what I would want) instead of both of us not sleeping...

It's hard, every kid is so different and what works for someone else just might not work for you :)

HE'S SO CUTE!

I think the whole getting worried over nothing in quiet time must be a family trait, I do it all the time!
