You and Me, My Little One.

I’m still alive! 
We just…still don’t have the internet.

I miss you guys. Soon.
Christopher is getting a new job this month.

Also, we’re trying to have another little one, so send your positive baby-making vibes.

Oh, Tumblr.

I enjoy how anytime someone uses an example of a ‘judgey’ parent, they always use attachment or natural parents. That’s not judgmental of you at all…

I’m having a pretty bad day. 
Man. 

Took little miss to the zoo today.
It was simply gorgeous outside, and I’ve been wanting to get out all week since my car is getting worked on. We took the train into Dallas, and Madeline had such a fun time. The ride was a little over an hour, and she stayed seated the whole time. I’m assuming it’s because of the wonderful blur of colors she saw out the window. I remembered that I left my stroller in my car, so we rented a little safari jeep buggy (it was precious), and carted her around until we got to the giraffes. She was so excited to see them, I was just so happy to see her just exploding with joy. I’m being so positive right now. Look at all the positive words I’m using. Oh, man. We just had a really good time. She fed a baby giraffe some lettuce, and it was really just a great day. I’m freaking exhausted, though.

In another note: MADELINE’S POTTY TRAINED. Yayyyyyyy! I’m so proud of her. I’m proud of her every day. Getting to be so close to her, and watch her learn has been the most beautiful gift. I love her. She is my whole heart. 

Lately I’ve been pretty bad about documenting all the things that we’ve been up to. I realize that I’ll probably regret that, so here I am. Since we moved we’ve been filling up our time with trips to the park to feed the ducks. She always makes a friend or two at the park, and she loves to go down the big slides. 
This girl, this smart little love of mine, she can sing the whole ABC song.
She cares so much about nature, about all the trees and flowers. We watched as they took the rest of the tree from our yard, and talked about how it was sick. She was sad to see it go, and she blew it kisses.
We read, we went to Whole Foods, we went to the park, and the three of us just really enjoyed each other’s company.
Christopher crashed the moment we got home. Seriously, he’s been sleeping since 8. I was hoping to spend some alone time with him since it’s his last off day. Oh well. She had some baked chicken poppers with ranch (she loves to dip) and pears with cinnamon. I haven’t eaten today. I am usually an absolute walrus, I need to get on that. We had a lovely snuggle bath, and she fell asleep almost immediately after I put her pajamas on.   

Today, she told me she loves me in sign language. 
It was the first time she’s said “I love you” without one of us saying it first, or showing her how in sign language.
Today, I am the happiest person I know.  

This fine Sunday evening calls for a nice game of Skyrim in my undies. 
I miss you guys.

We’re all doing well. Well, in our own special way.
Yesterday a tree fell on my house and damaged our roof, and we’re still having issues with financial aid, but these things are petty to us now that we’re finally all together. So much love. Finally. 

At my in-law’s getting the last of Madeline’s things. 
Trying to figure out what’s going on with our loan.
Trying not to scream my whole face off.

Madeline is staying one last night with her “gamma”, so hopefully I can get everything done.

Christopher’s work forgot to put in his vacation hours, so we didn’t receive our paycheck at midnight like we always do. We’re dangerously low on diapers, have no food at all. Things just…ugh. What did we do wrong? :(

I’m so upset right now. :(
Somebody got a hold of our debt card information, and has been withdrawing 29.99 for the past couple months. For some reason we didn’t notice. Anyways, they just did it again and it caused our bank account to overdraft. That hasn’t happened to us in a while, and it REALLY sucks because we just moved not even a week ago, and there are things we need that we now cannot get. I can’t go out and get food for Madeline tomorrow like I was planning because our bank takes forfreakingever to fix these things. I just want to cry.
And the school is hanging on to our loan, and if we don’t get it within the next week we’re going to have to move out. And we have nowhere to go now because my in-laws sold their house. We’re screwed, I knew I was being too optimistic. 

Just. Uck. 

Somebody should come do my laundry.
And that person is Bre.  

ifall-ifalter:

sheismywholeheart answered your question:I can’t wait for Max to finally…you know be here.

They do, and they get really uncomfortable. When is your maternity leave? You’ll need to go through a self pampering stage before he’s here!

I’m not taking leave until he gets here. HOWEVER, since I’ve been with the company so long I have some nice vacation time to use. I’m off all next week and then mid september so I can take a break and prepare for little man to get here. :D 

You should come over! I’ll make us something awesome, and organic, and great for lunch!

Madeline is hanging out with Nonna and Papa until Thursday
so we can work on our townhome. Christopher just left for school, so I’m going to start washing all of our linens. I actually pretty much finished unpacking our first round of boxes. Unfortunately we have like…a bagillion more.
Also, I’m hungry, and super broke.
This moving thing is pretty stressful, but it’s fun, and Christopher has been naked almost the whole time.  

where we post pictures of our children, and argue about circumcision and breastfeeding during the day. and openly hit on each other at night.  

I’m at my grandparents’ house (they live 5 minutes away from me, since I moved) waiting for my shower curtain to dry so I can go home and use my shower. It’s almost 12:30 at night. And I’m too ridiculous to just shower here. No, I want to use my new shower at the place where I live without in-laws, and where I can create my own home’s energy, and good things. 
My washer and dryer won’t be here until Tuesday. So.
Man.  

New Tumblr meetup idea: Come over and help me unpack while hubby is at work. 

THE TOWNHOME IS BEAUTIFUL.
I will post pictures if I get a chance tomorrow. :) 

H yeah! Being naked rules!!

Bre, I’m pretty sure we need to hang out. 
Are you still in L-town? And if this sounds like I’m implying that we hang out in the nude, it’s because I am. I mean…no. But yes. 

I got absolutely spoiled today by my family for things for our new home. 
Things are going to be so awesome. I can’t wait to start decorating!
And walking around naked!

Mostly being naked. 

Omg! I could so picture this happening. Lmao

The whole blog is just ridiculous. 
This one is also so funny. 

Madeline has been very attached to me today. Which I love, because she’s normally so independent and I am always trying to steal kisses from her. 
Towards the end of the day it was really wearing me down, and I was getting really frustrated when she wouldn’t let me leave her room so she could go to sleep. I’m getting sad just thinking about it. I know it’s normal to have those feelings sometimes, and I needed to freaking pee! So after the 30th time of singing Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star I was kinda upset. No yelling, I could just feel myself getting angry, and I just thought about how silly it was that I was getting that angry. I am lucky to spend constant time with my girl, Christopher works all day & is so sad that he hardly sees her.
So we had a girls night, drank chocolate soy milk, and watched Despicable Me. That’s pretty much the first movie we’ve watched together, and it was fun. She was quiet, and snuggled up to me. 
I didn’t try to take her back until 11:30. She fell asleep in about a second. This won’t be happening often, but it was fun. :)
