Icky Baby Shots

This morning, once again... we had one VERY happy baby!! She was trying so hard to laugh it was adorable. And then as parents we had to be evil.. :( Brookie had to have her 2 month shots today. Heart breaking!! She's just lying there looking around with a big smile on her face and then... poke. Followed by a look of "what's going on?!?" and then the most heart breaking wail you've ever heard! She was okay as soon as she was being held. Boy was she mad at daddy though... (daddy had to hold her arms down...) wouldn't let him hold her for a while. She was fine until she woke up from her afternoon nap. She was miserable for a while.

But, tonight she was happy again while we were watching numbers. Smiles were back and all! Yay for smiles!

We are now all packed and ready to go for our vacation! All we have to do is go! WOO HOO!! So, at least until the November 13th... I shall sign off. Have a Happy Haloween, be safe!!

Until Then...

We had HBS all day today!!! (Happy Baby Syndrome) Took Brookie all around today, and let me tell everyone and their animals... she LOVED every minute of it! She didn't really attempt to giggle today, but the smiles were everywhere! Her Grandma Lundeen bought her a pumpkin costume today for Haloween. Total Cutieness. She's such a Ham anyway, now she has a reason to be! (Oh boy... am I in trouble now!) She has her own little fan club wherever so goes. Now she even has a fan club at the WalMart. She's a people magnet. Big time. Can't take this kiddo anywhere! Lol.

I decided today was a good day to get Grandma W. out of the house today. Took her to Big Bear. I got to listen to 50 miles worth of "Its pretty up here, but I would never live here. Its too closed in." And "It's too dirty to live up here."

Seriously? Too dirty? As opposed to the dirt heap of a desert we live in? Really? >Sigh<>

I understand Alzheimer's, really I do. But, Patience is a virtue. My attention span is too short for Patience.

Anywho... back to kiddo!! She is SO spoiled already!!! I tried to put her to be HOURS ago! I swear I laid there in bed with her forever trying to get her to sleep, but NOTHING would work. I tried rocking her, singing to her, gave her a binkie, gave her warm milk... everything. But she would wake up everytime she was just about out. Changed her diaper, tried letting her bore herself to sleep. Nothing. I turned the lights off, and BAM. Out in TEN minutes. I should have tried that first! Lol. So I'm still not quite packed. Got all of her clothes and stuff packed... just need to get mine together. And BOY do I have a full day ahead of me tomorrow!

Rodney's fever finally broke today. He feel so much better. He called during his break and he's laughing again, he sounds like he actually has energy. Its amazing!! lol. Of course that energy volunteered me to bake 5 dozen cookies for tomorrow night. lol. Not that I mind. It'll give me good practice. I'm selling gift baskets filled with baked goodies during the holiday season. (Thank you, Mrs. Fields for your inspiration!) Gotta make "dough" some how! Bada Tsh! lol... ah I crack myself up!!

So... lets see. Tomorrow I have to go to Babies R Us to get that security device taken off of Brookie's Christmas outfit... I have to take my jeans BACK to Walmart so I can get the right size, (I really need to stop looking at the hangers for the sizes...) Get packed and ready to go... bake cookies or make fudge, I haven't decided which yet... and all before 3:30 tomorrow afternoon. WOO!! I Love busy days. They go by quicker. The quicker the next few days go... the sooner I get to go on VACATION!!! YAY!!

Anyhow... I need to go to bed while my little Brookie is asleep. Lucky Me!! YAY SLEEP!!!

Until Tomorrow...

Ah, the Beginning!

And to start off what I hope to be a very successful blog... (keep your fingers crossed) I will open by saying... I'm going on vacation. Lol. SO... I will be here and available for blogging purposes for this week only for a whole MONTH! I leave for a very relaxing month back home in Colorado this upcoming Saturday. And I would have to say that I am TERRIFIED that I won't want to come back!!!

Mom has started the countdown. Ok, really. Who am I kidding? She (and I) started the countdown a whole month ago. Six days left. Although I would have to give the obsessive award to my mom... she even has the hours! ( ;) Love Ya!)

This past month has been a little hectic. At least with my husband's family. (Just a side note to those who DON'T know, I live with my in-laws at the moment. So we're right in the middle of the chaos.) (and... my hubby has a gi-humongous family, so if you can't keep track of all the siblings, don't feel bad. I can't either.) Lets see... one brother is having a physical health issue, another a mental health issue, one sister is pregnant, another is dramatic, and the list goes on. I will try to find a way to "discretely" blog about them without offending any of them, but there are so many, who knows who we can keep happy? One may be offended if I talk about them, while another will feel neglected if I don't. And who knows who will be what! Oy. I'm making my own head hurt.

On to other ... not so migrain inducing topics. ;)

I'm am the QUEEN of unfinished projects. I have a book that I have been dying to write. The story, which I would have to say I am partial in saying is rather good, is giving me issues getting it down on paper. Maybe it has more to do with my head and the millions of things going on in there... and procrastination. That, at the moment, is my main priority. Especially now that I have my little Brookie to help me with my inspiration. She's an amazing little assistant with my book... being 7 weeks old. Lol.

My little Brookie discovered her feet this week. Lol. She has inherited her daddy's feet, which are rather HUGE! She just stared hard at them with her eyes SO wide... then.... she moved them. And scared herself and jumped. Arms flying out and everything. She did it again, and scared herself again... making herself cry. "Mommy!! My Monstrous feet are sooooo scary!!!" So Adorable!

Anywho.. gotta run, my little kiddo is rather hungry and all of China is aware of every detail by now!

Until Tomorrow... we hope!
