Don't Worry- There are Carson Pictures in This Post!!

Woah, it's really been a long time since I've blogged! Lots has happened, obviously, but playing catch up is soooo boring so I'm not going to do it. Sorry.

I actually feel like doing a little rambling, so that's what I'm going to do. More accurately, I feel like doing a little bitching. (I know, I know, I have so much to be thankful for. But do you really want to read a post where I just goosh on and on about my wonderful, awesome life? I didn't think so.)


1. So, first of all, something I don't get- bachelor parties. Maybe it's unAmerican, or maybe I'm a huge, giant prude but I think bachelor parties are total bullshit. First off, groom, you're not really a bachelor. If you're getting married then you're in a pretty serious, committed relationship and you don't really need to go out to a strip club, get totally wasted and act like your fiance doesn't exist for a night. Secondly, all your friends aren't single either. In fact, your married friends are really not single, and I don't think it's cool that they go out to a strip club where they get to oogle at all of the women who haven't gotten fat after having their baby, nor are they tired from taking care of said baby and would be more than happy to put their boobs in your face so that you spend way too much of your money to have them wiggle in your lap instead of spending your money on a new fence for your backyard. Thirdly, if your bachelor party really is just playing golf or fishing with your friends for a couple of days... I take back everything I just said.


2. Can you tell me what one cake decorating class plus one family vacation equals? That's right. 10 extra pounds and pants that don't fit. What gives, people? My mom heard recently that you burn up to 600 calories a day breastfeeding... so that means I must have eaten approximately 10,000 calories a day to gain ten pounds in a matter of two weeks. Right? Or is it just easier to gain weight after your body gets all jacked up from having a baby? Yes, I'm sure that's it. It can't possibly be all the damn cake I've been eating.


3. I think that people who have exactly two children end up there this way... You have one baby and think, "Damn this is crazy! I'm done!" But, everyone keeps telling you that your kid is going to end up the weird only-child and you better give that kid a sibling. You hear this so much, that even though you know it's NOT true, you start to convince yourself of it. So, you have one more baby and then it's snip snip.


4. I think I want to go back to work. I know, slap me! I don't really really for real want to go back... I just miss all the adrenaline and excitement the start of a new school year brings. I miss seeing my girlfriends everyday and getting to bitch about our husbands during lunch. I tell you what, I had those girls rolling with some Sean stories. Gross is pretty entertaining... even adults laugh at stories about farting and boogers. Admit it! So, I won't be going back to work on Monday... but I will be coming up to visit a bunch. I hope it doesn't make anyone mad that I just keep popping in- actually, I don't care if it does. I'm going to do it anyway.


I promise I'm really not this cynical all the time... just one of those days, I guess. If you've actually read all this rambling, I guess you deserve to see a few Carson pictures. I mean, that's why you read this blog, right? (Wink.)




BTW- this is my FAVORITE. Just look at the fatness! I want to nibble his fat little arms and legs right up! Ooooooh those cheeks!!!! Fat! Fat! Fat!!






Look at those chins!!!! LOVE the chins!!!





My sister-in-law, Joanna, took these pictures for me when we were visiting family in Wisconsin. It was Carson's six-month birthday. Precsh.

  1. YOU ARE SO STINKIN' HILARIOUS!!! I love it. :)
    I get a bit wistful this time of year, when the newness of a school year is upon everyone and all the school supplies are out in stores. BUT, then October and early November hits when the teachers haven't had a break in ages, and I'm like "hmm, I was still in bed/in my pj's when second period started..." and it's all good. Just think -- you're still a teacher, but your classroom has changed a bit. :)
    Um, that Carson? Delicious. I so want to get him in front of my camera again. Maybe you too, momma - +10lbs or not, you look great!

  3. I completely agree about bachelor parties and multiple children. What is so wrong with men liking the boobies they have waiting for them at home, and what is so wrong with only wanting one kid? I only want one and I am always having to defend it, even though I'm not even married! Ridiculous!

  4. Multiple children is harder during the hard times but more joyful during the good times!! I highly recommend it!! =)

    This will be the hardest "I wish I worked" moment for you because it's the first back to school time for you to go through. I missed the happy times and excitement of school at first too but then once school's been in session and you remember all the other crap you had to deal with you'll look at your little man and be SO THANKFUL that you're not missing out on anything he does and that you don't have to grade any papers!! =)

  5. I LOVE reading your venting posts. Please don't stop. They make me laugh.

    I agree with Kristin. Your first year not doing all the back to school stuff with your friends is the hardest. I can tell you from being at home the first year after Aidan and then going back the next, it's really hard to not be home with your baby when they start doing all their new tricks. I remember Aidan's babysitter saying that he took a few steps, and I definitely ignored it and didn't "count" them as his first attempt at walking. It only counted when he did it in front of me. I still miss the excitement of school and being around my friends, but I am happy to be home now after experiencing going back. Your old team is so close that you guys will hang out all the time anyway! So fun. Or call me, and we can talk about NOT grading math papers and vent about husbands and spit up. :)

  6. I hope I'm not a weird only child, but I definitely wanted Brady to have at least one sibling b/c I wish I had a brother or sister to give me neices and nephews and to share this special time in my life with. I've always wanted a sibling, but especially since I've gotten older. Brian is definitely ready for the snip snip :)

    Call me any time and I'll gladly gripe husbands with you! I'm sure I can come up with something ;)
