Well, Fall has arrived, winter subsided so it's now actually fall-like around here with the colors and the weather.

I am tired, which seems like no matter if I sleep all day or not, will never change. Don't get me wrong, there is and never will be an opportunity for me to sleep all day, that was just a figure of speech. Despite the end to all of the damn weddings we've had to attend and participate in, we continue to be busy beyond believe because, well, I don't think we know how to be un-busy. It seems like the weekend comes around and the activity is non-stop. Thankfully we had the entire day on Saturday to do pretty much nothing, except eat PEAS...

Then the evening came and it was back out for Mommy and Daddy. I hate that I have to say this, but drinking isn't even fun anymore. Just the thought that I'll have to get up in the middle of the night or the butt ass early hour the boy has decided he likes to wake up now (sometimes 4am, sometimes 6am!) makes drinking almost a punishment to myself. Now, the hubby is a tremendous help, but still, the majority of the time I am up even if he gets up with the baby and I feel like I can never drop back off to sleep the way he can. I am very jealous of that gift!!! Don't get me wrong, I still very much enjoy drinking, it's just the thought of how I'll feel later that makes it almost not worth is...waa waa waaaaaa!

Showing up to work today I was tired and extremely depressed. I was walking in the door suppressing the desire to cry! UUggghh! I wish I could win the lottery because I so don't want to be here, but alas, I have no choice! This just sucks. I would rather be anywhere but here. And to top it all off, I have to go to an off site with work in a few weeks for 3 days. I am wracking my brain trying to think of any possible way to get out of it. The last thing in the world I want to do is go away with work people for 3 days! Other than the guarantee of a couple of full, uninterrupted nights of sleep, which is very tempting, I do NOT want to go. If you've got any feasible ideas of how I can get out of it please feel free to leave it in the comments...All ideas or welcome!

Anyway, maybe I'm just sad because it's Monday and hopefully it will get better. I hope everyone is doing GREAT!

Well, it finally stopped raining here and the weather has gone from winter back to fall. I am over the cold weather already and winter hasn't even arrived!!! I have a feeling it's going to be a long, cold winter around here and I am dreading it!!! It was in the 40's and raining constantly at the end of last week into the weekend but thankfully by Monday it stopped and we got a peak of the sun. The temps are finally rising again and we're back to typical October weather in DC. I think it's supposed to be about 70 degrees and sunny today.

Things are normal around here. Just doing what we do. I know...boring!

We finally got approved for a construction loan to renovate our home. SO, now we're waiting on the architect to re-work our plans. It feels like this process will never happen or be done. Now the next step is trying to figure out where we'll live while this home improvement happens. This could be a sticky situation but we'll see what happens. Hey, if all else fails, we'll live in a Pod outside our house.

Last weekend was the first weekend in almost 4 months where we didn't have a wedding or some other function that we had to attend. I think Kai was shocked to see me and Daddy home with him the whole weekend. Poor kid may never get into a routine. I am so glad we're done with all the weddings. Now, I hope nothing else comes up because we are ready to hibernate for the winter!

Anyway, nothing to report. Going to check on everyone now...

Wow...where the hell have I been?

Okay, so my life, although busy, is still as lame as usual...Work has been super busy and our weekends still suck because we've had weddings or some event to go to every weekend. This coming weekend is the last one for a while. So we just need to get through this one and we'll be okay. And although I'm in this wedding, which is a total pain in the arse, it's one of my best friends so it will be fun!

My little, precious baby is not such a little baby anymore. He is growing like a weed. And although people say it goes by fast, you have no idea how incredibly quickly this time goes by. Kai is already 4 months old and weighs 15 pounds!! And he gets cuter every day.

He started eating cereal the other day and he loves it...and so does Lucy! Let me tell you, she is a great clean up tool and apparently she loves rice cereal too! Who knew? Kai laughs and smiles and babbles and is truly a good baby. I really feel blessed.

Above and beyond that, having a kid is hard work! I am lucky enough to have the best husband in the world who is so extremely helpful and hands on but wheww, this being an adult thing is not easy. Working, taking care of a baby, a home, a dog, a husband, being busy on the weekends, babysitters, not getting to spend enough time with your family on the weekend...holy crap! Life is truly not the same. The good far outweighs the bad but man is it different around here these days!!

What have I become? I am working from home today, I have a tree guy outside removing a stump from our yard, I can't get the Wonder Pets theme out of my head, I have a sleeping baby in my arms and have mastered typing with the index finger on my left hand, and I need to go let my barking dog out...ah domesticity at it's finest!

See you all soon...
