Long day

Lily is in bed early tonight, and my husband is preoccupied with the Wii at the moment. Shadow is unsuccessfully attempting to convince Jonathan that it is his dinner time. The day’s craziness has given way to the blissful predictability that is the weekday evening.

Work was rather uneventful today. I find my lack of motivation to be rather dominant lately. I have been itching for a mommy-daughter day for some time now. Just the two of us, playing with toys, sharing an endless supply of snuggles, and not worrying about any of the current drama at work. I truly love every minute that my daughter and I share. They make everything else seem insignificant.

Jeepers

Never in a million years did I think I’d be scouring the market for the best acne treatment at 28 years old. I never struggled with acne as a child! I’m not sure what exactly happened the past few years but wow. Just when it clears up, another nasty little blemish appears. I thought that just washing my face regularly and using all natural makeup would do the trick, but it looks like I may need to up the ante a bit.

Helpful Husband

I’ve really come to appreciate having a husband that is so organized and so good at getting certain less-exciting things done, from sorting laundry to requesting an insurance quote every once in awhile to make sure we’re getting the best deal. I know, sometimes I poke fun at him because he can be a little anal retentive, but overall I’m very fortunate. I do my fair share, mind you, but luckily he definitely carries his own weight as well!

Hmm

Now playing: Queen – Another One Bites the Dust (1980) (.977 The 80s Channel – 977MUSIC.COM – A Radical 80s Music Internet Radio Channel)

Random Thought: I can’t believe how long I was taking prenatal vitamins. Wow…it felt like forever. I didn’t really notice my hair or nails growing thicker or faster, but I did seem to have more energy then I do now…I’m not taking any vitamins at the moment, which is silly, I know. I don’t miss the size of them, though, that’s for sure!

Wow

It really is amazing the quantity of TV, internet, and radio ads for the so-called best weight loss product. I often wonder how anyone manages to choose between all of the options out there. It just seems like an unnecessary evil to me! I may not be pleased with my weight, but some of these medications just outright scare me!

Weight

Okay, so I still haven’t really made much of an effort to lose weight. I go back and forth between wanting to really put forth an effort and then I remember that we want to have another child in the near future, so I ponder whether or not it would really be worth it to work so hard just to gain it all back! Either way, I’m nowhere near reading quick trim reviews or crash dieting, so I guess I’m okay!

Hubby’s Hair

Now playing: Howard Jones – No One Is To Blame (80s, 80s, 80s! – S K Y . F M – Hear your classic favorites right here! (www.sky.fm))

My husband’s hair is going gray. Well, it actually has been for years, but I am definitely noticing it more. I’ve always loved his rich, dark brown hair, and I’m really going to miss it! I guess in the grand scheme of things, I shouldn’t complain too much. At least I know he won’t be shopping for hair loss treatment anytime soon!

Changes

Now playing: AC/DC – Girls Got Rhythm (181.fm – The Eagle (Your Home For REAL Classic Rock!))

Random thought: It’s amazing how long it’s been since I’ve surfed auto and industrial equipment websites for gift ideas for Dad. He’s just not as into working on things as he used to be, and understandably so! It definitely makes gift shopping more difficult than it used to be, but it just means I’m going to have to be more creative!

Camping

Wow…we haven’t been camping in a long time! I think it’s been over two years now, but I can’t remember. It will be interesting to see how our next trip goes, especially if we are still tent camping (no, we are not members of www.goodsamers.com and we don’t have an RV!), especially with little Lily in tow!

Aging

Now playing: George Thorogood – Who Do You Love (1979) (.977 The Classic Rock Channel – 977MUSIC.COM – The Classic Rock Internet Radio Channel)

It’s crazy how quickly my parents became “grandparent-age”. When I look at them, I still think of them as being in their 30s. My mom seems to be handling it better than my dad. I can crack jokes with her about using an abacus to do math in school and having to buy human growth hormone, but I really need to be more mindful when talking with/joking with my dad. His body just isn’t what it used to be
