For some reason my youngest son decided that 7am was party time this fine Monday morning. He was hungry and downed a bottle in less then 5 minutes. He was soaked too which warranted a morning bath. That woke him up further which meant no crawling back into bed peacefully after rocking him back night-night. Yawn! The coos and sudden outburts radiating from Josh beckoned a sleepy eyed two year old from his lair and well, you know the rest. Here I am!
Our weekend was eventful. We packed the family and headed to the annual Livestock Show and Rodeo. We parked at the Metro parking and rode the Metro Rail to the Reliant Center. Jacob thought that was the cat's meow. He was all smiles and kept saying "We're going FAST!" as he stared wide eyed out the windows. All boy, he's into fast trains and cars. We went to the petting zoo, ate our fair amount of carnival foods and enjoyed a Goode Co. barbque sandwich together in picnic style on the grass. The weather was overcast in the low to mid 70's with a slight breeze to keep us all cool. We rode many rides with Jacob this year. Each parent tag teaming the next. You would be amazed at how a big person can fit into some small rides. Like clowns in a clown car. Joshua did amazing. He napped at all his usual nap times and never fussed. He was extremely patient while big brother rode the pony, pet the animals and enjoyed the "circus" (carnival in our terms). Jacob missed his nap and fell asleep within two minutes of us merging onto the 6-10 loop headed back home. We had a nice day and both Mr. Big and I commented to each other that night on what fun we both had. It's always nice to spend time together as a family.
There are still boxes to be unpacked and put away. We worked on our bedroom yesterday. It is still a mess, but atleast we unpacked about a dozen or so small boxes and put the stuff away. Mr. Big put our stereo surround in the living room and did some picture hanging. The house is slowly becoming our own and it feels more like home each week that we get more settled.
My girlfriend was out of town last week visiting relatives in Dallas. I got alot done because there was no telephone conversations taking place all week. I am ready for her to be home though so we can let the kids play and catch up. I missed her and realized that life with no friends is a very sad, boring life. I do have other friends to converse with, but she's a special friend. One that understands and relates. I don't have to listen to her opinions on certain topics and agree with it just to make her happy. Nope, we can talk about ANYTHING and we agree on most topics. It's easy to be her friend and I enjoy that about her. Glad she's home today. I'm ready for some nitty gritty girl talk.
Well-now that I've bored you with my Monday ramblings, I'll leave you with this. I'm on week #2 of dieting. I've lost a total of 3 lbs. I'm doing well on the diet. I haven't bitten anyone's head off (yet). I'm on a mission. I will lose some of this fat and pudge before I pack it on again. Now go-run-have a cupcake for me.

It must be nice to have a friend like that! I too was up at 7 am but that's an everyday thing at my house.
we get up at 6:30 or 7 everyday at our house...of course they go down at 7pm too...keeping them up later totally messes with the sleep begets sleep routine so we just go with it
as for the carnival thing, sounds like a blast and we have figured out that child #2 is so cooperative of #1's indulgences...#1 not so much for #2....but I guess that is what siblings are all about...I'm clueless in that department.
keep unpacking, that should be enough to work off some pounds..and hey, while you are at it, work off some for me b/c I'm pathetic at that
I know it. I probably sound like a baby talking about getting up at 7am, but both boys are usually up at 8-8:30am. 7 is early for us.
Yes, Jacob is much less tolerant of Joshua. Sad, but true. I'm working on losing some of this gut. Atleast your done having kids. I've got one more pregnant belly to add onto what I've already got going on here. Worth it I know, but still scary as Hell! Cringe.
i am not working on the diet (because i don't want to give up chocolate or fried foods), but i am going to try to exercise instead. hmmmm...which is the better of the two evils? giving up food or sleep (to be able to exercise)?
