My project

Remember that project that I wanted to find, well I start class tomorrow and didn't get a single project started. But dear hubby did! We were at the pet store and I commented that CW would probably love a fish bowl to watch. Instead dear hubby laughed and said we needed something bigger...
I now a 55 gal tank with 1 (yes 1) fish sitting in my living room. In his defense the tank has to cycle so we can't add more fish yet but I was the one who needed a project not him.

... well at least CW loves watching the one fish!!

No witty title today

Have I mentioned I'm pregnant??

As dear hubby can attest to, I tend to be quite neurotic when I am pregnant. With CW it wasn't that bad because I spent most of my time hunched over the porcelain god or curled up on the couch doing nothing. But this time he thinks I've lost my mind.

I need a project, not just a little project, but something to keep me entertained until classes start in 2 weeks. This was how I started my masters to begin with, I needed a project. Now here I am again, pregnant again, in need of another project. I suggested ripping up the carpet and flooring in the living room, kitchen, dining room, and hallway then repainting and redoing the floors. He said no. He reminded me that he didn't need a project, he had plenty to do around the house so I needed something more manageable. Boo. What the hell am I suppose to do? I'm bored I tell you.

Did I mention that I also looked into a mommy and me group so I could go 'do' something in the evenings or on Saturdays with CW? Did I mention that all the groups in the area seem to blacklist moms that work? Even my friends who all do mommy groups commented that they are usually reserved to non-working moms. HELLO who the heck put that restriction on it. I have scoured the entire city, looked online, talked to people and let me tell you there are no Saturday groups for moms who work. Granted most working moms probably want to spend time with their hubbies and families on the weekends and I am probably once again the odd one out because hubby works over night and SLEEPS all day Saturday and Sunday. But. I'm. Bored.

So I'm back to needing a project. I hate cleaning so it actually probably won't including cleaning. And I am not at all crafty, in the least. So probably not crafty (the only reason I wanted to rip out the upstairs to paint and such is cause I found pictures of a house I like and want to COPY it!!) Hmmmm. By the time I figure out a darn project I will probably have class start again and then I'll be bored while doing class--not a good combo I don't seem to do my work.

How's that for a neurotic posting???

I'm in trouble...

I figured maybe I should explain the picture that I have posted. Hubby loves baseball--actually that is probably an understatement. After 15+ years of playing we live a lot of baseball. In college it was actually quite annoying because Summer required ball games every weekend and me being the one to travel to see him, because heaven forbid he missed a game. Fall was practice and more games, and spring was the worst. 2-3 games a week or more and very little time to actually see the boyfriend.

Well now he is done playing (thank god!) but he still loves to watch it and even umpires a ton in the summer. All spring, CW and daddy have been watching games together when mom isn't around. This last week Daddy was umpiring a ton of games (something like 55 in 13 days) so I figured we would go out and watch him for a while. It was starting to sprinkle so CW and I were sitting in the car watching. Man was she obsessed! She was so excited every time a play happened and just kept trying to get closer to the windshield (and the action). For a mom that swore she wouldn't play softball because I didn't want to spend entire summers at the ball fields...I think I'm in T.R.O.U.B.L.E!!!

A twenty something mama!

Welcome to my blog!

Since this is my first post, I thought maybe I should tell you a little about me. I am a twenty something mom to a wonderful year old daughter, CW, who is the light of our lives. We are also expecting number #2 in October. I am fortunate enough to have a job that I love that allows me the flexibility that is required to work on school and to take care of her. It also means working for my father. Yes, the irony! Actually, after 5 years, I really love my job. My father and I have had our ups and downs but we have always been able to pull through. Plus he loves to have CW come into the office with me. Hopefully in October we will be able to work it out for me to work from home two days a week while dad is out of the office. If it works, it should be an adventure!

When I was pregnant the first time I decided that I was bored and needed a project...my project turned into getting my Masters in Business Administration. I have 9 more classes or just over 1 year left. I love the program that I am in but I can't wait to finish. When I am done I plan to work on my PhD and hopefully teach college eventually. Can you see why I call it Mama and More...

Besides CW, hubby and I have three wonderful puppies who keeps us on our toes. The puppies love CW so much and it is great to see her interact with them. Sometimes I wish we had more room just so they have more space to run but they don't seem to mind or notice like I do. Our fur-babies include two beautiful red-heeler females who act like sisters (and fight like them too!) and one blue-heeler border collie mix male who could care less what his sisters are up to, unless it involves food.

When it comes to CW, I try to keep a very open mind! We have been cloth diapering since she was 2 weeks old, though I'm not sure I can be considered that 'crunchy'. Cloth diapering is addicting ... as my dear hubby can attest, along with his bank account :) I am always on the look out for cute new diapers for CW and of course for the new one coming!! I love chatting about diapers so I'm sure there will be tons of that around here!!

I'm sure there will be more to come!
