Back to Daycare...

Oh what a difference a year can make!
Asher 3 Months Old - first day of daycare 2010...

Asher - 14 Months Old - first day of daycare 2011

No more carrying me mama - I'm a big boy! I can walk, fall, eat snow, do stairs and take diggers on the ice all by myself! I cannot believe how fast the time has gone - it truly does seem like just yesterday he was a little guy... they grow way to fast.

Random Thoughts...

• Asher fell asleep on the living room floor two Saturdays ago. Granted he was super sick and was on medication - but I hope he can continue to find comfort where ever he is in our home and just lay down and snooze.
• I sent Ash to daycare today with his pants on backwards. If he was wearing sweatpants, maybe this wouldn't have been such a huge 'I'm a DORK' moment! Instead he was wearing pants with pockets - yep, the daycare lady is going to think I'm crazy!
• Work is busy. Busy is good. Good is a pay check.
• It was a year ago today that Damon quit his job and Asher looked at us and gave us an actually smile and giggle for the first time. I didn't know what we were going to do but knew that it would all work out. Living proof today that what doesn't break a family will make you stronger.
• I've kept my house clean for the last week and a half. Like, clean enough that if you were to stop by - I wouldn't be completely embarrassed of our potential to live like slobs.
• This even includes my laundry. I'm pretty sure my sister would be highly impressed with my ability to 'keep up' - at least for the last week and 3 days. :)
• I have some pretty amazing friends. Friends that care, call, ask, listen and most importantly are there for everything. I realize even more now how much I miss these amazing ladies when I am back on the clock at work and can't have play-dates or phone conversations with them whenever I want. You know who you are - know that you are loved.
• We fed Ned beans just to see if they were really 'musical fruit'... they are.
• I'm going to be an auntie again and am beyond excited. I'm also going to be an auntie to a little girl - even more exciting! I cannot wait to welcome this precious new-comer into the world in a matter of months. Please say a prayer for her journey.
• A few weekends ago I spent my first few nights away from Asher. It's true what they say, you'll know when you're ready. Was it easy... nope. Was it neccessary... yep. Did I survive... yeppers and I'm alive to write about my experience. :)
• Men who do drag make us 'average girls' look horrible. Some of those guys are seriously beautiful. Just sayin'...
• There is nothing more sweet than picking up your babe from daycare and seeing him waiting. Seeing him standing at the sliding glass door with a big 'ole smile and waving at his mama. I think the only thing that tops that right now is the sweet words of 'mama' coming out of his mouth. Few and far between but I'll take it.
• Real Conversation: I was inquiring how long I could expect a product (yard sign) to last with the different elements (wind, rain, snow, sun, etc..) I say, "And how long do these signs typically hold up?" and the sales lady - in her very foreign accent and as serious as can be says, "Until someone steals it."
• Cyd a lady from work has a talent for phrasing... I over-heard her tell a boy during an interview today..."Now, the landscape crew gets to wear shirts without sleeves but as a shop boy that's not okay. You've got to have sleeves on your shirts because we don't need you putting your arm pit hair all up in our customers business.
• My spell check doesn't appear to be wrkg snce I've left out some obvious letters and it isn't picking up on antyhing.... so enjoy the crazy spelling that I'll call Manda. :)

From the Mind of Cyd...

(A lady I work with).

She always says things 'differently'.

Yesterday she asked me if we were going to be getting those 'walk around type phones'. I think for a minute and say, "You mean cordless?" ... she responds, "Ya, the walk around type."

Here's to another Spring at Bloomers. :)

Dish Soap It Is...

I figured out why I'm fat... the shampoo I use in the shower runs down my body - it says, "For extra volume and body". I think I'm going to start using Dawn Dish Soap... "Dissolves fat that is otherwise difficult to remove." :)
