Busy Days

It seems that weeks go by without a single thing changing in my routine. The days blur together and before I know it another month has passed without so much as a blip in the radar. And then come the holidays. Suddenly there is a flurry of activity. Plans to be made, gifts to purchase, lists to be made. The anxiety level raises in direct proportion to the depression. I really don't care for the holidays. Never have. There is a huge build up only to have a few moments of joy and then it is all over. And we are left with just winter.

Winter isn't so bad. I do like the snow. The real problem is the lack of sun. I get so tired of over cast days where it is so blah and too cold to go out and play. The boy gets cranky and mommy gets even crankier. lol Husband is so fond of the holidays and would be thrilled if they happened every month! He can have them!

So, the next few posts will probably be rambling messes of how frustrated I get. Be warned...I can be a tyrant!

Late As Usual

Halloween is over. I am behind the times again! The Robmonster had a fabulous time Trick-or-Treating this year. He was really into it. He would say "trick-or-treat" at every door and "thank you" about half the time. The other half he would just say "you're welcome". lol He is a cutie.

It is so scary how fast he is growing. I have been having some baby blues lately concerning how quick it has all gone. I can barely remember holding him when he came home from the hospital. Well, in all fairness I really didn't get the chance to hold him until after my folks went home the following week. Grandma was in love from first glance and did not want to put him down. I remember feeling a bit miffed that the only time I got to hold my brand new son was at the 3 a.m. feedings. Not fair!

But I digress. The holidays are in full swing. We already have a couple gifts for the boy hidden away. Husband should be a professional shopper I swear! My concern is that in a year or two the boy will be aware enough to know that we hide presents. What on earth am I going to do then? My folks did it right. They hid the neighbor's gifts at our house and our gifts over there. Boy were we confused that first year when we got nothing that we had found! lol

Must run, the boy is trying to unload the washer all by himself. He is so helpful!
