Sophia with her Nanny's ToothbrushDid I say that right? Do people really fall off the band wagon? Am I pronouncing/spelling that right?
Well anyway, I have completely fallen off the blog road. It's a combo of a few things... Works still is crazy, adjusting to being a single parent again, loss of power and a couple crazy weekends planned.
I went out to California to visit some dear friends Paula and Jim Wheelock. As usual, they showed me a great time. They are such a passionate couple and I love being around their energy. My heart ached for Sophia for ummmmmm lets say 2 minutes but then I walked around free as a bird remembering my singleton days and cherished every moment that I was free from parenting. Thanks Cindy & Jennifer for watching Sophia.
My dear friend Trisha & her 8 month old daughter Kiera came to visit from Ames, Iowa. It was so good to see Trisha and catch up. I would like to say that our daughters behaviors were something to be desired. Kiera was out of sorts and Sophia was whiny! We did have a couple laughs and shared a bottle of wine each night after our daughters screamed bloody murder for 30 minutes before drifting onto la la land. Ha Ha! Trisha gave me the best gift.... She watched Sophia while I ran ALONE. You don't know how much I miss running and exercising alone. So much that I think I will once again hire another babysitter so I can go running. What's another $20.00 a week.
Can you tell the anger is creeping back?
Sophia is doing great! She is sooooo funny! She takes everything she can (telephone, sippy cup, TV control) and puts it to her shoulder and pretends she is talking into the phone. Sometimes, she has very passionate conversations where her voice raises. She is running everywhere and quite happy to pounce on the cats. Sophia is very curious and loves to sit on the front step. Pulling out the tooth brush makes her smile and glee.
Jerry is also doing good. They are getting ready for their replacements. It's still very hot. He is counting down the days, as I am sure all of them are.
I know who I am going to vote for.... Do you?????
