We've Been Busy...

I've been told I can use having a baby as an excuse for anything I want for as long as I want...

   No, I can't make it to the party; I just had a baby.
   You need a liver and I'm a match? No, I just had a baby.
   This isn't my ice cream birthday cake, and I shouldn't be eating it? I'm sorry, but I just had a baby.

There hasn't been a new blog post for about 55 days. Forgive me! I just had a baby.

Here are the things we have managed to do in the last eight weeks:

  • I started a wedding and event planning business. Have you heard of Simply Unique LLC? No? Wow...I thought my six total followers on Twitter would have gotten the word out by now.
  • Billy graduated from college!
  • I'm working on getting my real estate license through the online course.
  • Installed an electric in-ground dog fence.
  • Made and eaten four batches of puppy chow.
  • Purchased a freezer and filled it with frozen bags of breastmilk. Mine. Not Billy's.
  • Broke the washing machine...got the washing machine fixed...
  • Got through our first family cycle of sickness. Joey catches a cold, sends it over to dad, who passes it down the court to mom for a chance at the game-winning layup.
  • Joey has been to one waterpark, one soccer game, two track meets, two campground visits, one retirement party, and zero bars. 
  • We've (I say we because breastfeeding in public takes a team) successfully fed our baby in three different vehicles, two restaurants, and on the backstretch of a track while the 100/110 hurdle races were going. 
There are many more things that should be included on this list, but my baby is in the other room and I miss her sweet smile. Also, her last fart shook the house walls, and I'm mentally preparing for an up-the-back-clothes-changing poop package.
