Back to the daily grind!

It is once again Monday! Back to get up bright and early, back to getting Sassy to and from school, back to the daily homework struggle, soccer practice, and Eric back to work! I get through every week in one piece but when Monday rears it's ugly head once again like clockwork I can only see EVERYTHING I need to get done!

Eric and I are in the midst of reorganizing our shoebox a.ka. our apartment. So much crap has taken residence in this place. I am about to put a 'No Vacancy' sign on the door to other crap that tries to make it's way in. I have added baskets and containers to keep things organized and now I have to organize them! This will be a lllooonnnggg project in the works, but I know it will be worth it in the end! Every Wednesday and Sunday (when Eric is off) we will have a new project.

Princess Sassy has been on a sassy roller coaster of attitude... Can I please get off the ride, I am dizzy, nauseous and can't see straight on a daily basis! I am now 'no fun' and 'a meanie'. Doesn't she know that we have to be because it is in our mommy manual? I wouldn't be doing my job if I didn't follow the mommy manual, and I am a teacher's pet, so I have to follow it word for word! I just keep telling myself it is a phase and than I break out in a cold sweat, because the pre-teen years are creeping up on us soon and it will only get worse! I guess I am doing my job as the mom!

Princess In Training is growing like a weed these days! I don't know how much she weighs yet, but I am going to guess about 10 pounds. I don't trust my scale, because it never tells me the truth when I get on it. Then why would I believe what it says about "P-I-T"? She will be 2 months, WHAT 2 months, did I just write that, next week? Where did the time go? She gets her first round of immunizations next Thursday. This is when my paranoia subsides a bit and I let people actually look at her for more than a minute. Not all people, just the germy kids at Sassy's school. Of course "P-I-T" is cute, but please don't put your germy hands anywhere near her! I have no idea where they have been. I treat Sassy the same way until the hands are scrubbed!

I almost forgot... I am lifting the ban on all those she has smiled at. Yep this mommy got a smile, not just one but so many I can't count them anymore. They aren't the little smiles either. It was a great, big toothless smile! Look at the picture... see I am not lying! She has also started to play, so I broke out the toys I have been dying to try. She has this plush doll, that rattles and makes that crinkle sound. I have never seen her focus on one thing that long.

Elmo is welcomed back into the family after packing his bags when Sass wyas 5. She loves his voice and we listen to the CD I got over and over and over and over again. It keeps her calm and a happy baby makes this mommy VERY happy!

Oh and be jealous, because "P-I-T" has slept through the night for the last 6 days! God was making up for all the sleepless nights I had with Sassy! I knew my hard work and perseverance would pay off!
