And, cue the cricket whistle

I am trying to update this blog proactively...maybe I am a bit delayed, but am trying just the same. I guess I can blog about positive stuff too, right? Ranting about good things is permissable. I suppose this is a bitter-sweet, smart ass blog.

Truth of the matter is: I miss my baby girl(she's with her daddy tonight)! After having her all weekend, I tend to get a little tired out from following the wee one around and making sure she doesn't get into anything harmful; hello, mobility! Yet, I am so proud of how far she has come. It is amazing to see YOUR child, the fruit of your loins, learn and grow. Her latest trick (is it a trick? or does that make her sound more like a pet?), is clapping. She just learned overnight it seems. She claps when I: 1. clap 2. say "yay" or 3. say "clap clap clap." Of course she also claps when mommy stubs her toe and makes loud ouchie noises...proof she knows what she's doing! Mental note: next time some jackass does something stupid or lame, I'm clapping. It works for her....

Being alone after you haven't been alone for a time is somewhat unsettling. Alone with my thoughts...what thoughts? Random thoughts. Big ideas for dinner, taking a shower, going through photo albums to get my baby fix and fill the void of silence, catching up on my magazines/TV shows, doing random chores...lonely, yet productive. I know she's away for the night, but I look over at her toys expecting to see her. Is that odd? I miss my little pumpkin! Clap, clap, clap for mommy!
