I got out today!! Yay! I went to lunch with Anisa- it was VERY nice to go out and chat and not have to worry about Camper crying (thanks Cy’s Dad for being so amiable and watching him so much :)) and eating without worrying that my baby is hungrier than I am. I stopped by work and saw everyone there, it seems so crazy and hectic! My life is crazy and hectic, but just in a different way.
Camper has been a bit of a…cranky butt lately. Don’t get me wrong, I love the cranky butt, but will someone tell me what’s WRONG with him? Geez. I got home from my “outing” and he was fine, snuggling with Daddy, but that quickly turned into freaking out. I gave him a bath, and he seemed to enjoy that. But as soon as he was dry and dressed he freaked out again. Finally I put him in the sling, which calms him down and helps him rest, but also requires movement for him to stay calm. So I decided to clean the kitchen. So there I am, wiping down counters, sweeping (the tricky part was leaning down to put it into the sweeping pan thing, what is that called?), and mopping with my wee babe in a sling on my chest. In some ways I felt ridiculous and in some ways I felt kind of like, “Wow. Check me out. Ultimate multi-tasker!”
What else is new? Well, I’ve been reading LOTS still. Right now I’m reading The Stay-at-home Survival Guide. It does seem written for Moms that would be working were it not for their new baby, which is good (I think that some Moms have always wanted to stay at home with their babies, and while they need support, too, it might be a different kind than those who always imagined working, forever…) but I’m still up in the air about it. I’ll let you know how it turns out. Next is No God but god, a book John had to read for class and that interests me because, well, Islam is interesting to me.
Other than that, just taking care of my baby, my husband, (who in turn takes care of our baby and me, as well, it’s a nice thing we got going on…) and thinking about preparing for the big move that’s coming up…I should probably get on that, yeah? Yeah….
