Seriously, TGIF already??

First off, before I forget...I thought of a few more things to add to the "Hailey" info. She's been playing with her dolls for a few months now, and she'll put them up on her shoulder and pat their backs, or hug them while saying "awww"...or her stuffed animals, or anything that she feels like hugging, she'll hug and say "aww"...it's too cute. Another thing we found out about her last weekend. Dogs do not scare her. We took her to the vet clinic my friend's parents own after they had closed on Saturday and let her see all the animals. My friend wasn't going to take us into the dog room because of the big barking dogs in the cages, but Hailey kept pointing and wanting to go. First we looked at the birds, then the cats which she LOVED and didn't want to leave. Then finally I told my friend I thought we should try the dog room...I want Hailey to get used to dogs and not be nervous around the big ones like I am. She did WONDERFUL! I was so proud! There were dogs barking all around her, up high, down low, everywhere and she just looked and looked, never acting scared or nervous or anything. I think she was just thinking "wow, I never knew there were so many dogs in the world!" She looked amazed. And every time she sees a dog, be it on tv, walking down the sidewalk, anywhere, she'll bark "ar, ar!" so she was just in heaven. I'm going to start taking her by the clinic more often so she can get even more used to all the animals. And something she started doing today, she now says "weee!" as she's purposfully falling off something, like her little fold out blow up couch. She'll fall off and say "weeee!"...so cute. She's been doing really good going to bed by 8, which is resulting in a MUCH happier baby and no more throwing up since Tuesday when she threw up all over me at the sitters because she was so exhausted. She's not sick, just too tired at times because of this new schedule. But it's finally on track, and it's great.

Ok, on to other things...it's so weird not being able to post every day like I used to, and I try so hard to read your blogs but I just don't have much time...so when I do get to read, I rarely have time to comment! I am keeping up on all your lives though...so if you're reading, here are some comments people! Sorry, faster than putting on individual pages. Hope Lani is feeling better, and that's so neat that she's talking so much already! I love how she says "dat", Hailey said that also! I have a feeling they would be buddies if they were to meet :o) Kristin, that is awesome that you're making the gym employees nervous. I agree w/ the others, you should totally start your own business! Ashley, WHERE ARE YOU?? :o) I don't know who else is reading my blog at this point, as I never have time to check my stats anymore. If you're newer, leave me a note. I've been checking out the newer blogs, I love them, and thanks for those of you who are newer and have left me comments!! I'm sorry I haven't commented on your blogs, but I have checked them out and love them! Ok I don't have much time, need to get to bed, so on to other things...my posts are always so random aren't they...

Ok so I just found out that I will NOT have the whole weekend with hubby like I thought I was going to. He made regionals so he will have not 1 more but 2 more tournaments before the season is over. So he'll be practicing his butt off this weekend...instead of spending time with Hailey and I and helping me clean house like he promised. I am so happy for him but I am so sad/upset at the same time. I was really looking forward to this weekend. We never see him anymore because he gets home after we go to bed...and this place needs some cleaning up. I couldn't stand it a couple nights ago and stayed up til 9:30 cleaning the kitchen floor on my hands and knees. And now he'll be gone another weekend he was supposed to be here, for the tournament he just got into. And then Florida for 5 days. COME ON will this season never end??? Um while I'm at it, it's more like COME ON will his schooling never end?? One more year, I keep telling myself only one more year...

My friend J and I are now talking again. We reconciled, she apologized for being a turd back in September and I forgave her and we're talking again which is really nice. We've been friends since 4th grade. It was eating at me this whole time that we had parted ways because she'd become such a bad friend. Anyway she's come over a few nights, and she came over tonight and took Hailey and I out to Olive Garden to eat. Never mind that I had it for lunch too, and ordered the exact same thing for dinner (soup salad and breadsticks!)...I've been craving it for a week now, and I would be NUTS if I turned down a free meal! Hailey had a blast. And she still went to bed fairly early tonight, at 8:30. And since then I've been doing dishes, laundry, picking up, reading blogs, etc. So busy, so tired. What else...oh yea I have a swollen gland in my neck. You can't see or feel it, but it's sure swollen alright, and it hurts for me to swallow...not like a sore throat, but like it hurts down in my neck. SUCKS balls, let me tell you. I'm staying doped up on Ibuprofin, it's helping some. Oh at dinner tonight we tasted the special wine of the evening, or whatever you call it...the waiter didn't even know what it was called, so classy, he was like "would you like to try our um, I don't even know what it's called, um, ....wine?" We said sure. So awesome, I didn't get carded for once. And oh man that little taste was SO good. I haven't had wine FOREVER. J and I made plans to go to the winery and sit on the bluff tops sometime in the near future. Also, she wants us to come over to her boyfriend's house to grill some weekend. Sounds like fun. I've never met her boyfriend, but he sounds nice. And yay, free food that I don't have to cook! And good grown up adult company! And they don't mind Hailey running around either! Sounds great...

I know I had other things to write about, but I'm so tired I don't even remember. This is how my life is these days. I love my job, and I even love our new schedule, but until D is done with this season I will continue to be this busy and worn out and overwhelmed. So I'll try to post when I can, and read when I can! OH yea and seriously is it Friday already tomorrow? This week has FLOWN by. It's crazy. Alright gotta go fold some clothes...
