Does anyone actually read this anymore? I post so much on Facebook these days, I don't post here or even load pictures to Shutterfly anymore. Hmmm, guess I need to rethink that huh?
I figure, if i have this darn thing, I need to update it. Whether or not anyone reads it. I found my old blog and was reading through that today. I have been very bad at updating Madeline's baby book, so I think I can use the blog as a timeline. Good thing I was diligent with the blog isn't it?
Work is really crazy for me right now. My company is combining all of our US operations into Houston...and not hiring any other people. So, what that means is we all do 3 times the work, for the same pay. Great 3 times the stress, and 3 times the cost in alcohol to relieve the stress. Fabulous. Honestly, I am starting to really feel the stress. I guess the only good thing is, the last time I was this stressed, I lost 30 lbs. I could use a 30 lb loss right about now.
Two weekends ago we went to Moody Gardens to see Pat Green. We took Madeline with us as it was a amiptheatre so kid friendly. We stayed in the Hilton on the seawall. She had no idea what a hotel was and when we got there, she was SO excited! She kept saying "OH MOMMY!" "This is so impressed!"....totally cute. We got to see the Budweiser Clydesdales getting dressed for a walk down The Strand. We could not get to the strand as it was Biker Rally weekend. We certainly did not have enough leather on to be part of the crowd.
The concert was fun although it was pretty muddy and wet. We were prepared though. Tarp, blanket, and chairs. Some people brought nothing....so very sorry for them. But man, it had been raining for days, and you have no seat, what do you expect? No, we did not share!
Last weekend was her Christmas recital. Their song was "I want a hippopotamus for Christmas". She really was the best one of them all. I will convert the video so I can upload it but she's a very good ballerina!
This weekend is spa day for me on Saturday and M has a gymnastics party on Sunday. I would have normally declined since it's a new kid, but she LOVES the gymnastics place. She will sleep good that night!
We are headed to Dallas for Thanksgiving this year. I am hoping to finally meet Baby Sloane while we are there! I cannot WAIT! I just want to hold her so bad!
I hope someone still reads this, if not, its a good journal I suppose!
