Master Procrastinator

So people that know me well know I used to be a fantastic procrastinator. If it could wait till later, well it did.

Now that I am a Mom, and work full time too, it is quite the opposite. If I have a free minute, I am running around like a crazy woman trying to get things done. If I am at home, it is laundry, dishes, the usual suspects. On work days, I run errands before and after work, over lunch, you name it.

I hope Jenna did not pick up the procrastination gene from me but it would appear by her recent bedtime shenanigans that she did.

Tonight's bedtime routine - after bath, dinner, brush teeth, watch a show, we head to her room. She then insists on several books, then some water, then wants me to give her a high five 22 times in a row, then decided she wanted a different paci, then started to pound on her diaper genie like it was a drum, then asked me to pound on her diaper genie like it was a drum. She then wants to talk about all the animals that are in the painting in her room, touch the fan pulleys....you get the idea.

Once I put her in her crib and tell her she has to go nite nite, she looks at me in pure shock like "HOW DARE YOU WOMAN!"

How am I supposed to deal with all this when she is in a regular bed!? Lord help me.

The things I see on a video monitor

This video monitor is awesome. It is one of those things I tell any pregnant woman she "needs." It used to be great to just watch the baby. Then, it was to determine if she really needed me or if she was just fussing.

Now it is pure entertainment. Jenna will literally run laps around her crib, cover her animals with her blankets, read out loud, you name it. Funny stuff. It is even kind of funny when she throws things out of her crib and then yells "OH Nooooo!"

Tonight, I heard a weird noise coming from the monitor. Jenna has a sippy cup of water in there with her. She was drinking it, but not like a normal child, no. She was putting her blanket OVER the sippy cub and then attempting to drink the water through the blanket. She was working HARD to get that water out. Makes you onder what goes through a toddler's head...!

I guess aqua is so much better when filtered with a fuzzy "binky."

I seriously wish these things had a record button!

Busch Gardens junkies

I am so lucky to live 20 minutes from Busch Gardens...ever since we got our passes and discovered the Sesame Street area, we have literally been almost every weekend. We are becoming pros.

Today we went and I got to meet one of my "online" friends in person for the first time. Kristen and I were part of the same "expecting" club and have kept in touch (along with a lot of the other ladies) throughout the years. Crazy to think I have "known" her since Nov 2007 (when I found out I was pregnant).. and now our daughters are about to turn 2!!
