Terrible Whats'?

Okay, this has been an interesting few days. B decided Saturday that her crib/room are no longer 'safe' for sleeping. Last night she finally slept in the play pen in the living room. At least that saved our sanity for a night. This evening we are going to convert her crib to a toddler bed and see if that is 'safer' at least in her opinion. I may have a nervous breakdown due to lack of sleep in the meantime!

Yesterday B decided to show off her escape (and hostage liberation) skills. She opened the outside door to her daycare room and took off with one of the younger kids. The teachers found the escapees a few minutes later playing with the water table. B ended up in time out. I am beginning to think an hourly dose of time out will do her some good!

We have also sort of started potty training. She likes the idea of sitting on the potty, just isn't sure what to do once she gets there. I think it is time to start reading potty books (as long as we don't get potty mouths because of it).

I am trying to decide if I want to make an attempt at getting my MBA. There is too much to consider in some ways, but the program that started last year in Los Alamos through NMSU in conjunction with LANL may be just the right mix. Now I just have to figure out how to overcome the GMAT.. YIKES!

LONG weekend

What a long weekend! First the router on our network decided that it didn't want to work anymore while Paul was out of town :( then once he did get home, B decided that she didn't want to sleep!!! She ended up sleeping with me last night, and almost kicked me out of bed. Oh well, at least I got a little sleep. Other than that the weekend was quiet, and I think we are ready for our trip to Seattle!

He's Home, He's Home, He's Home

Well, Paul got home about 10 last night from his trip to Ottawa. He made all the connections just fine, though the airlines had some challenges with weather. He is going to try and rest this weekend since we are heading to Seattle on Thursday next week to visit with the Donovan side of the family for my Grandmother's 90th Birthday celebration. I can hardly believe it is almost here!

B had a good evening, we got to play then she took her bath after using her dinner as a facial treatment ;) She hasn't gotten to see daddy yet, so I am sure she will be excited when 4:00 arrives and he picks her up.

New Tricks

Well, B had to pull a new trick out of her hat for me this morning apparently ;) When I went in to wake her (yes, she has actually been staying asleep in the mornings this week) I found her naked as a jaybird from the waist down. Apparently she didn't want to wear her nemo jammie bottoms anymore and since her diaper was wet she took it off too, then went back to sleep. Her bed appeared to be dry, but I will be stripping it this evening to insure clean sheets. She is such a little pickle these days!

Manic Monday?

Well maybe for some people. B and I were ladies of leisure this morning apparently. I managed to sleep in until 6 and then she slept until 7! Then we got dressed, ate breakfast, made lunches, made coffee, etc etc etc. Then we went and checked on Elsie and Luna cats... Elsie was trying to convince me that she was starving and Luna was hiding under the bed, so all was well. I filled their food dishes and topped off their water and then wisked B to daycare down the street. Hopefully she will have a great day!

too much energy this morning for mommy!

Well, yesterday was our 4th wedding anniversary. We went to the restaurant where we enjoyed dinner with EVERYONE after the wedding. It was fun, but then real life interfered and we had to go to Walmart to get stuff Paul needed for his trip to Ottawa today. Oh well, that was fun too with a buzz from 2/3 of my strawberry margarita with dinner ;)

Brigit woke up a couple of times last night, so sleep wasn't the best. Paul left her in our room with me when he left for the airport about 4:45 and she actually let me sleep until 6:30.... I am SO tired, and don't have the energy to go get coffee even, and of course I am too low on coffee at the house to actually make some. Hopefully in the next hour or so I will feel up to getting dressed and going out. Wish me luck!

Just Starting

Hi there... if you have found your way here, prepare to be bored by the ramblings of a 30-something first time mom of a toddler... oh yeah, she is the light of my life... and my exercise plan :) I live in Los Alamos, NM. Home of the Manhattan Project and yes, we still have several original buildings MY HOUSE is one of them! I grew up in the Pacific Northwest, and can't wait to someday return. We just have to find a good physics position for the hubby!

Anyway, more to come later. I have to go chase the B.
