Alas my loves, I have returned.
And let me say, it's a new day my friends! You know I've made what feels like a sound decision for my rapidly disintegrating mental health today. My friends I give you, my Done List. I've decided to fore go the traditional To Do List since I apparently can't get anything scratched off that, and I'm just going to keep a list of the things I've accomplished. I think it will help the feeling of failure and disappointment if I see things daily like:
Today's Done List:
Said prayers
Was a great mom and wife
Emerie's still alive
Ant hasn't contracted food poisoning
No neighbors called to say they have Rocky covered in mud in their garage
Made one sale at work (maybe)
Made one sale at work (maybe)
Managed not to kill anyone in my office
Read a Bible verse
Talked to Lauren
Watched tivoed So You Think You Can Dance
Cussed just the two (or six) times
Thought about reading a chapter of Dear John
See- doesn't that make me sound accomplished. Now I don't feel bad about going to bed at 9:15. I've done a lot with my day! I feel better already. Whew!
So updates in McDonald Land since it's been ages since I've had a chance to blog
- We're pregnant AGAIN! Yipee! It's off to my usual sick everyday for weeks and weeks start, but the baby's healthy and beautiful and BIG already. We couldn't be happier to have two under two. Get excited everybody- we are!
- I temporarily lost my mind and took a great new job downtown. Job's great. Downtown I hate. So stay tuned...
- Emerie is almost 10 months old! Can you believe how fast that time has gone by. She's almost walking and talking and crawling a mile a minute. She actually had her first big fall last night and hit her head a little on the rug. She cried and cried and Dad tried to comfort her first, but all she wanted was Mama. Funniest thing isn't it? Dad is the best for fun and games and bath time, but when she's hurt- only Mama will do. It was okay though. No bumps or bruises and we solved life's problems with an orange BlueBell Bullet! Mama knows sweet sweet Ladybug. Mama knows. Ahhh, already teaching my daughter how to self-comfort with food. Paula Dean would be so proud.
- Ant got a promotion at work. He's so much happier during the day now! He's learning new things and meeting new people in a different group. He's still with Wells- 10 years strong! I'm such a proud wife. I keep waiting for the wonder of our marriage to wear off, yet we're pregnant again. Three times in three years- Geez- get a room you two. Wait?...
- I've inserted myself fully into the planning of some upcoming weddings- some real, some fake, some we're just waiting on the ring! Shout outs Razz- can't wait!
Other than that, I can't say that you've missed much. There's a montage of pics of Em. She's just growing so fast. I'm back on the blog peeps. I tried Facebook and failed- too many people, too much pressure, way too much information. Things are changing daily, so stay tuned! If anyone wants to hire someone who is 14 weeks pregnant, due in December, really only wants to work part time if that, needs to make great money, would like to nap during the day, and can be no more than 15 miles from her house- give me a shout. I do great work. I'm looking for local opportunities!!! Love you guys. Missed ya'll.
