with the sickness

Last week my dad and mom were both sick. This week, I am sick. Why did it wait a week to hit me? Who knows! But it is annoying... and I really hate the fact that I had to leave work early. I think I should be able to go back tomorrow, but since I was out last week on Monday and Tuesday to help my parents/watch Alyssa, it makes being out this week even more annoying.

My wedding ring is way too big. I haven't even lost much weight since being preggers (which I am working on now... finally) but they twirl around my finger constantly. More so when I am typing. I know I need to take it in and get it fitted again... we also need to get the two rings fused... but I am too lazy for that/don't want to spend the money... oh well. Sometime we will.

It's hard for me to believe that Alyssa is almost 1 year old. May 9th... that's the date. Perfectly, it falls on a Saturday this year... not perfectly, it falls on Mother's Day weekend. I had orignally wanted a small get together type setting but my mom's side is coming in to spend the weekend with my grandma (their mother) and my brother and his wife are also coming in that weekend. The number of people went from comfortable to just at my limits... but we will be ok. It will be nice to have a lot of people around for the day. I just wish I had known about this before this past weekend... :) oh well. Just need to change the plans around a tiny bit... that is all. :)

Our heat will not turn on... and this post is just a bounce bounce bounce post. I am going from one thing to the next to the next! Back to the heat... I am cold and can not for the life of me use our thermostat. It is super easy, but it will not work for me. Just Lance... blah.

Post!

Long time since my last update. What has happened since then...

Our house is ALMOST done. And when I say almost, that means that we only have a few more baseboards to go... the rest is just cosmetic/retail therapy. We need rugs like whoa in this place. It will help a lot with the echos. We also need to buy things for the walls. We need a new entertainment center... or main console. I haven't really decided yet. We found a main console at ikea that we like, but I am not digging the dark furniture anymore. It shows the dust way too fast... I am kinda sick of that. I don't think Lance will go for a natural wood though... hmm. Just things to think about!

Alyssa is getting big and crazy. We bought her a walker today and she is loving it in our house. Since we have laminate floors she cruises super fast all over and just enjoys being able to get around. Right now we can't put her on the floor because of all that we are doing to the house and because we dont have the tv on the wall yet... (don't want it falling over on her... that would be just bad)...so we got the walker so she would be happy. I let her crawl all over her room though, so she still is able to crawl around... just not out in the big rooms of the house for now. No pictures still... can't find my camera just yet... soon though, soon.

Well, it looks like I am staying home from work tomorrow. My dad has been sick this past weekend, so giving him a day to totally recover is in the stars for us. I don't want to have Alyssa go over there and get sick all over again... and I really don't want her to be as sick as he was. I just hate calling out from work... but that does come with the territory of being mommy. I just wish daddy could stay home sometimes too... but there just seems to never be a good day for him to do that. Oh well, I can get all of the laundry that I have been meaning to do this weekend... I did manage to clean the kitchen and keep it clean though this weekend. AND I did the self clean on the oven... now I just need to actually get in there and clean out all the junk from inside.

Well, enough rambling. I am off to do... nothing but watch Desp. Housewives. Loves it!
