This morning was fun. Little One has discovered how to open cereal boxes and dump them out. Fabulous. Can you feel my excitement? I'm ecstatic. So is she. Yay for cereal!
She just recently learned how to walk on her own (she's been walking while holding someone's hands since she was like 3 months old. Thought she'd be an early walker. Wrong.) and now she's everywhere. She was everywhere before but now it's insane. I leave her in the living room, go to the kitchen to refill my coffee cup, turn to go back to the living room praying she isn't terrorizing the cat and almost kill her as I trip over her and try not to spill coffee everywhere. She's sneaky! Didn't even realize she'd made it to the kitchen!
She's at that stage where I'm no longer her favorite person. It breaks my heart. Truly. I cried the other day. She always wants her Daddy. From the moment he walks in the door from work, it's all about Daddy. Then again, I'd be kind of annoyed with hanging out with me all the time if I was her, too. She gets bored with me. Unless, of course, I'm going to leave her with someone for a couple hours. As soon as she figures it out, you'd think I'm abandoning her for the rest of her life. Seriously, kid, I'll be back. Mommy just needs a break.
So on the rare occasion that I get a little time to myself (never more than 3 hours, by the way), what do I do? Nothing. I always forget. When my mother-in-law (herein referred to as MIL) takes her, I always know a few days in advance that she wants her. Do I REMEMBER? Nope! So the evening before I'm supposed to take her over there, The Hub asks what time I want to take her so he knows to let his Mom know when to expect us.
WHAT?! Damn it!!! I completely forgot. Again. So now I have free time and nothing to do with it. Didn't make plans with the BFF who seems to have a very busy life despite working a 12 hour a week job, so that's out because she's ALWAYS too busy. I don't feel comfortable going to movies or restaurants by myself, so that's out. I guess I could go home and clean... pft. Yeah... sure. I don't do enough of that as it is.
Last week, I got lucky! The BFF texted me the morning I was supposed to take Little One to MIL's. "Good morning! Wanna come over today?" Sure. Why not. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE her! Most of the time she's great! When she's not being judgmental and telling me how wrong I am about everything. She's a month older than me. Never had a boyfriend. Never been kissed. All of that stuff. But she has an opinion on everything. She thinks I never should have married a man who didn't ask my Dad for my hand in marriage. Seriously? It just didn't work out that way. He wanted to, life happened and it just worked out differently for us. She's determined that no matter how much she loves a man, if he doesn't ask her Dad for her hand, it's NOT happening. Easy to say when you've NEVER been in love with someone and didn't create a beautiful child with someone you absolutely couldn't imagine your life without. Must be nice to be so delusional. She even told me I was doing my wedding wrong. She was my maid of honor. I bought her shoes, MADE her this BEAUTIFUL mother of pearl vase as part of her wedding gift, asked her opinion on just about everything and still ended up planning my own bachelorette party. Awesome. I do love her so very much. With the bad, there is also the amazing person she can be. Guess I'm still bitter about the lousy maid of honor she turned out to be... I'll get over it.
Side note: I'm on my second cup of coffee and it's delicious. Just thought I'd share that.
So anyway, the only thing on the agenda for this week is to go pick up the "Thank You" cards from Hobby Lobby (50% off wedding stuff this week-WOOT!) and get them filled out for the beautiful gifts we received (none from the BFF, though. Seeing what I'm saying yet? No? Ok, moving on...) for our wedding! Next week we'll have been married one month! It's been great! I love him so much! He thinks putting a wedding band on my finger has turned me into a goddess! No, but I'll take it while he's still feeling that way! Oh! And we get to go do laundry today! We live in an apartment complex for the time being and their laundry facilities CREEP ME OUT! Yuck... So we go to a laundromat we trust! Not as exciting as it sounds.
Ok, so my first 2 blog posts are done... How am I doing? Be honest! Be brutal! Thanks! :)
