Saturday night

So this whole landlord crap is for the birds. Get a call this morning that there's not enough water pressure in the shower. Umm I went up there, and the chick is got better pressure than our shower head. Ughh.

IDK maybe I'm just PMS'ing. LOL. I'm tired, yesterday was cool. I enjoyed a night out without child. Today was kind of a bummy day. Feels like a Sunday now though. I really dont feel like babysitting this week, but I gotta do what I gotta do.

I am actively searching for a part-time evening/weekend job so if you know of anything let me know. I'm really wanting to get out of debt ASAP and start my own business, so I'm trying to do everything in my power to get this done. Alright I'm going to stop rambling now. Maybe tomorrow my brain will be fully functioning again.

Good deals

I love finding good deals. I've decided I get a high off of it. LOL. Today I bought a dress and a bra all for a total of $44.09. It's a pretty damn good bra too that can handle these big mamas! LMAO.

Anyway, I ended up having lunch today with an old co-worker. That was nice. I enjoyed my margarita at noon. :) The rest of the day has been a blur, but sometimes day like that are better.

Andrea is still having somewhat of a hard time falling asleep on her own, but I see much improvement in her attitude and just her energy throughout the day. I think she was over tired today, and that's probably why she had a hard time falling asleep today. yesterday was fairly easy though. Hopefully things just keep going better and better.

Thats it for now. Friday is a wedding day, and I get to be baby free for a night. I'm going to enjoy it to the fullest. I'm so ready to get my drink on!

When it rains it pours...

One of my favorite songs from TuPac was "Keep your head up", and one of his lines was "When it rains it pours, they got money for wars, but can't feed the poor". Everytime something goes crazy in my life I always think about that line. Yesterday was one of those days.

You know it just seems like when things go wrong from the minute you wake up, they kind of domino effect throughout the day. I mean I dont really have much to complain, as I have a roof over my head, food on my table, and plenty of love to go around, but sometimes you just ask yourself "why"?

These economic times are rough on everyone. I've officially joined the looking for employment line. Sigh.... I'm just looking for something very part-time. I want to just bring in enough money to get my business going. That is a big goal of mine for 2009. I want to start my own business, and I have big dreams for it. I just want to be able to go into it full force, and give it all the time and dedication it's going to deserve. I'm not going to layout what business I"m going into for a few reasons, but once it's up and running I'll let you guys know! :)

Anyway, today should be a brighter day, and I hope the rest of the month is too. This was a very random blog I just realized, but what can I say, I'm pretty random myself at times.

Mommy lingo

So as many of you may know I love going to babynest.com. It's a mom message board where I get advice and tips on everyday things that mom's come across. However, I realize there is plenty of lingo that we use on there that I find myself using a lot, and most people don't understand it. So I decided to make a list here of acronyms you may be reading on here that I use so that you aren't lost. :)

SAHM- Stay at home mom
DD-dear daughter
MH-my husband
CIO-cry it out

HMm.. I've apparently gone blank, but I'll add more as they come up.

CIO (cry it out)

So yesterday we took the leap of faith and started the Ferber method with Andrea. I thought long and hard about this, and I really wasn't sure if this is the route that would work for us, but really I was so tired of having her fall asleep and than wake up an hour later and than having it take another hour of just holding her hand to fall back to sleep, and to only wake up an hour later again.

I reluctantly checked out the Ferber method from the library a little over a month ago.I read it and felt ready, but apparently I really wasn't. It was awful hearing my kid cry and cry and cry for almost an hour. Beto and I gave up and we just rocked her to sleep. I figured this wasn't for us, and eventually she'd learn to fall asleep on her own. Well as the month progressed I felt like things were just getting worse and seriously I was starting to lose my mind. I need my free time in the evening without worrying about her waking up. So I went and checked out Healthy sleep habits, happy baby. That book along with Ferbers totally did wonders. I understood why my kid needed to sleep, and why she needed to fall asleep at a certain hour everyday.

It hasn't been smooth sailing these past two nights, but I can already see improvements. Last night she cried for 30 minutes before falling asleep, and ended up sleeping 12 hours straight. The most beautiful feeling in the world after 9 months of waking up so much. Today she cried for 2 minutes, whined for 2 and than was completely out by the 5th minute. However, she woke up 20 minutes later hysterical. I was crushed. LOL. So we did the whole Ferber thing again, and it took her almost an hour, but she has been sleeping peacefully since than. I hope tomorrow is a better night. I hear it usually takes around 3 nights before they actually get it.

Here is too good luck and happy sleeping! Well that's all for today, nothing fun sorry.

So I joined the club!

After many weeks of telling myself I was going to start a blog and than changing my mind, and than thinking I just didnt have time for it I'm finally here! I hope to post pics and make it a worthy blog soon, but for now this what you get. I just hope to share my everyday mundane life with the rest of the world. I hope I can put a smile on your face or give you some useful info on other days. Than there are days where I will provide you with completely useless information. That's just the type of person I am!

Have fun, enjoy, and please leave some love every now and than so I know somebody is reading my nonsense!
