teeth and ABCs....

Can you believe it?! Eileen is cutting her first teeth! She'll be 16 weeks tomorrow.. she's just about 3 1/2 mos.. seems so early. But Nana Janet tells me I cut my first teeth at about the same age, so I guess it's not so out there.

She not her usual happy-go-lucky self this week. I know she's tired - she is not napping very well at school, and she's due for a 'squishy diaper' - if you know what I mean- so between the lack of sleep, new teeth, and backed up pipes, I guess I can see why she's a bit grumpy. But even grumpy, the little munchkin is just so cute!


Now how's this for fun,... I blatantly stole it right off of Raven's blog.. "The ABC's of Me" - also known as a good brain break from work!

A - Available or taken: Taken! Been together 6 1/2 years.. sometimes it seems like so much longer than that, and other times it seems like it was just yesterday that we met.
B - Best friend: Sissy
C - Cake or pie: cupcakes! they're just so fun. yellow with chocolate icing. mmmm.
D - Drink of choice: depends on the time of day.. morning = COFFEE; evening = red wine
E- Essential item you use everyday: blow drier. whether it's curly or straight, this hair needs all the help it can get.
F - Favorite color: green. unless of course it's a little blue box.
G - Gummy bears or worms: neither. anything cinnamon. (did I spell that right?)
H - Hometown: Born in Walpole, MA.. but I guess Memphis counts as my hometown since that's where I grew up. But I still live for the Red Sox.
I - Indulgence: sleep
J- January or February: January. It's my birthday month!
K - Kids & names: Eileen, 16weeks.
L- Life is incomplete without: hugs. lots and lots of hugs.
M - Marriage date: May 8, 2004
N- Number of siblings: one, Sissy. OK, her name is Shannon, she'll be 30 in a few mos. But I pretty much only call her Sissy.
O - Oranges or apples: Apples. Small Royal Gala are the best.
P - Phobias or fears: Failure.
Q - Fave quote: Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels. No clue who said it. I saw it on a WW chat once. And since I'm working on shedding baby weight, it is my current mantra.
R - Reason to smile: Eileen and Gracie. Actually, there are so many good things in my life, the list could go on and on. But babies and dogs are just to die for.
S- Season: SUMMER. I love heat.
T - Tag 3 people: Nicole, Kimmie, and Sissy.
U - Unknown fact about me: I can't stand Phil Collins. No idea why. He just makes my skin crawl. Isn't that odd?
V - Vegetable you don't like: Turnips and Collard Greens. Gross.
X – X-rays: too many to name. Mostly my feet and knees from all the running.
Y - Your fave food: CHEESE.
Z - Zodiac sign: Capricorn.

There, now wasn't that just fun?

sooooooooo annoying.

well folks, I just wrote a NOVEL that should be posted on this blog.. but for whatever reason the post did not publish. ARGH!

And now it is about time for me to head to bed, so I am not going to rewrite it. Here is the short version:

- Eileen started school and had a fantastic week. Loves her teachers. She's holding her own bottle (tho not always and she doesn't have the best aim- as you can see by the formula smeared all over her face!)

-Erin went back to work and was quite happy to be there. Good to see friends (adults!) and good to have some time for me (I know, it's crazy to say my 'me time' is at work - but whatever works!).


Happy Birthday to me (and Nicole!). I turned 32 on Saturday, she will do the same on Monday. We had fun hanging out at their house and chowing down on steaks and carrot soufle (divine!).

I'll check back in a couple of days and hopefully have more success in writing!

In the meantime, Happy Sunday!
