I haven't posted in ever. I know. That is how I start every post I write once a month. I have not even posted Part 2 of the Mother's Day drama. That will have to wait. Today I feel like making a list.
1. Neil is army crawling everywhere and pulling himself up and even cruising a little. So we made him a prison fence and he will stay inside there as long as I am inside with him. When I get out of there he stands on holding on to it and either cries or watches me like a spider watches his prey making sure I don't move from his line of sight. Attached much?
2. He is so interactive now and in my completely biased opinion very intelligent and observant. He looks like he listens so carefully when I talk. He probably is thinking when he is getting the next food :)
3. Speaking of food, I make all his food at home now and I actually am enjoying it and so is he. We tried such a wide variety of foods and he eats everything I give him. Peas are not his best friend, but he still will eat it. We even tried Indian food with spices on it and it was all good. He has been sleeping through the night past couple of days. Now because I wrote it he will get up 12 times tonight, I am sure.
4. I have enrolled Neil for swimming and Gymboree for summer and he is enjoying Gymboree. Swimming will start next week and I can't wait to see how he will do with that.
5. My weight loss program is going well thanks to chasing Neil all around the house. I am at 109.5 now, but the big tummy will be with me till I die, I think.
6. I want to know how these women who have 3 children under 5 with another on the way manage to home school, cook from scratch, coupon, and then blog all about it every day. I must be a horrible time manager or something. I can barely keep my house clutter free with one child.
7. Things have been so busy the past weeks. I work part time from home. I make all ours and baby food from scratch. Except couple of times a week that we eat out. And I take care of Neil. And help hubby with his business. And take care of all the "stuff." - bills, immigration and all the sundry stuff. And how you know some weeks everything comes to a head at the same time? Last two weeks were like that. And plus, we have my in-laws visiting and I have been making some travel arrangements for all of us.
8. Speaking of travel, we have a lot of travel coming up this summer. We are going for a week to DC-NY and then Neil and I are going to India for 2 months. I am SO looking forward to that. The India trip that is. I need a break.
9. My sweet husband booked me on first class for the India trip since I am going with Neil and do not have any help. I know it is a luxury and he is so sweet to do that! I am not even making any real financial contribution to the household since Neil was born.
10. It is so hot here in FL and the main reason I joined Neil for Gym and swimming is that we need something to do as we cannot go to a park or something in the morning when it is 110 degrees outside. Plus it is great as he gets tired out and takes good naps after that. I am an evil mom :)
11. We are doing some work on the house. Our laundry room was redone a little bit and I hope to show some before and after pictures soon. Soon as in it could be never to those who have been reading my blog for any length of time.
12. I think I am done making a list.

So the first class ticket is not a joke this time? I read it carefully to make sure. ;) Sounds like a wonderful treat!
I sometimes feel guilty that I am not making any financial contribution, but I suppose God laid provision on the heart of men, not women. So I should stop feeling guilty and just do what he does lay on the heart of women: taking care of those babies. :)
It is not a joke, just a wonderful treat. I am getting heebedajeebies at taking him for a 24 hour trip by myself. Today, he tried to jump out of the changing table. I grabbed on and had to pick him up with his one leg and body upside down. He doesn't stay still for a second. Grrrrr.
I don't usually feel guilty not making financial contribution, because I am working harder than I ever did, I am just not getting paid :) I only feel guilty when there is a luxury involved which my husband does not get to enjoy.
