Happy February!

So much for writing at least once a week in the blog. Lately seems like it's once a month! I sometimes think that if I quit working, I'd have so much more time on my hands to do the things I REALLY WANT to do. Then I LOL and say, yeah right. I'd probably find more things to do on my never ending "to do" list.

I've been watching lots of TV. Maybe way too much TV. Between HGTV and Food network, I must log at least 4 hours a day. I can recall days where I used to spend only about an hour plus watching the daily news broadcast! Damn DVR. DON'T get one. It is way too tempting to record stuff and then you feel guilty and have to watch a bunch of shows all at once because the memory on the damn thing is almost 100% full! I really need to concentrate on other things besides TV..but I can't help it. It is so damn tempting.

Stamping. What was that, now? I have baby cards, thank you cards, a wedding and birthday cards that MUST be stamped for this weekend. I have bridal shower to go to on Saturday PM, a birthday party on Sunday PM and 3 baby gifts (one to mail; 2 to drop off) to deliver. Not to mention the thank you notes for Christmas gifts and 2 birthday cards. Sigh. I was ALMOST tempted to BUY some the other day. Then I thought better of myself and knew that the hubby would KILL me if he saw them. With all the "stuff" I have; I have no excuse to have purchased cards at my house. Must concentrate.

Got photos all uploaded onto the computer, just need to find time to go through them and send off to Costco for printing. My mom reminded me she hasn't received anything current since she was here last summer. Sigh.

Scrapbooking has also taken a back seat lately. I have at least read my current scrapbook magazines and have several ideas to try but haven't ventured that far. I have to get my butt in gear and just schedule it in.

The hubby is slowly settling into his morning schedule/routine. He is half awake at 6a and actually is making it out the door and to work on time. This is a man that prefers to sleep in and work evenings. He still isn't making it home on time, but I think his new job has a major learning curve so maybe by the end of this month he'll be all caught up.

The toddler has been driving me crazy lately. I have tried to be oh so patient but it's just the age. I have to remember to give her transition time from one task to another or she has a complete meltdown. Today she didn't take her usual afternoon nap and there was hell to pay.

On top of all that, I've strained my damn shoulder again. In so much pain that it's beginning to show on my blood glucose numbers. Taking it easy, hot showers in the morning, some naproxen and cold compresses at night. It's NOT helping. It's been a week now. I have been trying to get in to see my massage therapist and she doesn't have an opening until Monday which sucks. So I must suffer (but obviously not in silence) and wait. If massage doesn't work, I'm going to have to see the doc and probably do the physical therapy route again. Same damn shoulder...I can't believe it! Whine, whine, whine....

On the plus side, I saw brand new photos of our best friend Wayne's baby girl Shayla. Oh she is so stinkin' cute. I knew he was going to make some cute babies someday. I wish we were back home so I could spoil her, but oh well...I'll just have to spoil her from afar. I had so much fun shopping for her....tried to control myself...! He is so ecstatic and flying high. I'm so happy for both he and Eva (whom we haven't met yet!!).

Well, gotta get my butt moving and get the kid to bed. Later!
