Why Is Blogging Last On My List?

Well, today was one of THOSE days. Where I had a million things to do and not enough time. As soon as I was done with one thing.... BAM, I would realize that I had two more... then I would get those done and four more things would pop up. I just kept picturing Cinderella and all the mice singing, "You can do it, you can do it,... you can do it Cinderellie"So here are my 13 reason why I didn't get my blogging done sooner.

Lucy Freaking Out

Freak out.... yes... I said it. Don't let all those cute pics of her smiling and grinning fool you, she isn't afraid to get cranky. Her big thing right now is to throw herself backwards. She knows how to sit up, but will throw herself back so I have to walk over and pick her up. Yea... not so fun.

Dishes
I think our dishes have been hiding and breeding. They are like rabbits, hiding and multiplying all over the place. Lets just say I have been tempted to spray lighter fluid all over the sink and just light it up.

Gifts

A girl from our church just gave birth a little while ago and I have had her gift sitting in my living room for a while now. I keep meaning to finish it, but I get distracted. So, today was the day I was going to put a big dent in it.... well, I will just say... that was NOT successful.

Lucy Freaking Out

Oh yea, she did it again. I believe this time was that she couldn't reach her star snacks. I placed a pile in front of her, I thought within reaching distant, but I guess there was one that was not, and it did not bode well with her.

Gardening

I have been working on a beautiful garden these last few months. Planting, watering, lovin' and grooming. I have gotten my little seeds to grow into beautiful plants. I have even started to move them outside and get them ready. I have jalapenos, tomatoes, blackberries, peppers, and strawberries. I have been so excited for them, well until they all started wilting and falling! I mean... just over night they went on hunger strike and are sickly looking. I ended up spending a nice chunk of the day trying to read up on them, moving them to the good parts of the yard, and more grooming.

Working Out

Okay, I guess I didn't have to do this one, but it has been a week and a half since I went running and if I didn't force myself to do it, when was I going to do it?

Lucy Freaking Out

Dropped binky, dropped Little People, dropped ducky, dropped stars, and dropped ball. She doesn't like her stuff dropping apparently.

Mowing

This took forever... well, maybe because I haven't mowed the lawn yet this summer. I know, I know... I am awful, but the grass hasn't been toooooo long and I just haven't had the time. But finally tonight I got out there, coated myself in bug repellent, and mowed! I mean, seriously, I mowed, trimmed, cut hedges, washed driveway, raked under the bushes, and weed-whacked. I feel exhausted, sore, and tired, but it looks GRRRRREAT!

Vacuuming

Lucy has been eating her star snacks, which I love and so does she, but I find them EVERY WHERE! I am constantly crunching stars under my feet into the carpet.... sooo.... I send almost every day vacuuming up a meteor shower of stars. And the hard part about that is, Lucy hates the vacuum. Which brings me too...

Lucy Freaking Out

Not a fan of the vacuum. It may come from the fact that she may have gotten part of her little hand sucked up in the extension tube when, um... someone.... was cleaning the stairs...... maybe.

Calender

I tried to sit down today and plan to see when we have time for.... camping trips, the cabin, date nights, family nights, people in town, fun activities, doctor appointments, marathons, and city shows. This summer is looking to be really packed and if I don't make time for some stuff now, I am afraid most of it will never happen.

and the day ended with....

Lucy Freaking Out

I guess not looking at her will get her angry too. I will just have to build myself some side view mirrors so I can constatly be giving her the eye contact she apparently HAS TO HAVE. :) Ohhhhhh the joys of motherhood :) But even with all the screaming... how could I be mad at sweet Lucy.
