A funny note

Read the last post from earlier today first. I actually had a dream last week that I would be sharing an office with this same person. In the dream, people were always walking in on me while I was pumping. The feeling was terrible. There are locks on the doors, but still. A bad dream may be coming true!!

It shouldn't be a big deal

But it does seem strange to have to talk to anybody at work (men) about pumping milk. I do try to be professional at work. But pumping is just part of my daily activity and has to be done. Well, it looks like I am going to have to move offices. The first idea was for me to share with a man. Which is not a huge problem. He would just have to give me some privacy twice a day for 15 minutes. So it would be an inconvenience, but we could work it out. It's just better for me to have my own office. I know a lot of women have to deal with finding a place to pump everyday, and I am fortunate that I have had my privacy this long. Sharing with a man just opens the door to getting picked on and people talking about me. We're not always politically correct out here. So I would have to deal with the talk. I could deal. I actually did tell me boss that I need privacy twice a day for 15 minutes. I didn't say why. I told him I could give more detail if he wants. He asked if it had to do with having a baby. I said yes. Maybe I should have elaborated, but I didn't want to make him uncomfortable. He is going to try and get me an office. I don't mind moving around. There are offices where people are out for a couple of months at a time. It doesn't make sense to me for us to be inconvenienced everyday sharing an office when there are plenty of empty ones. So that conversation felt embarrassing, but it shouldn't be! So we will see what happens. I will probably find out soon. I think I will still have to move though. I've been in the same office for 4 years. I'm a little attached. We've been through a lot together, me and my office!

It's cold!

It's cold outside right now. We are not used to this cold weather stuff. Our house is not insulated, so our heaters run constantly. Our main breaker tripped around 5 am, all lights out! I guess our house gets tired and cold and just gives up. Boo had a rough night. He just can't stay asleep. I try to let him cry for a minute. Sometimes he goes back to sleep, sometimes not.

I'm really busy at work right now. Just seems like my list of things to do keeps getting longer, and I can't keep up. Big presentation has to be ready for tomorrow and all kinds of other little things keep popping up. I have to prioritize and do what I can do. I'm definitely am ready for Friday to come!

Gettin back to it

I need to get back into the swing of things again. It was really nice to have some time off work, but now I'm back. We slept late this morning. I just could not make myself get up. Boo has gotten into the habbit of taking an evening nap. We try to get him to take an earlier nap, but he just won't, so he passes out at 6 pm. Then he doesn't want to go to bed. So I was tired. Then I was late. Oh well. A lot of people are still off. I think I have almost everything for Boo's party. I will have to go to the store Friday to get a few things, but it's mostly ready. I hope we can pull it all off!

Boys Riding Bikes

 

 

 

 

Nathan and Chesley had fun riding their bikes together. Chesley is wearing his new teddy bear coat Nathan bought him at Gap. Chesley really uses his feet and sort of walks on the bike. Sometimes he uses both feet and gets going a little faster. It's so funny to see my little baby riding a bike. Does this mean he is growing up?

A fun day

I had a really fun time at my birthday party mom had for me. She actually got a princess cupcake cake, like Disney princesses for little girls. And she made us all wear princess crowns. She is silly, but I love her. Dad made yummy grilled shrimp and papaw made chicken and dumplings and black-eyed peas and cabbage. It was all really good.

Today we are hanging out at home about to go to moms and hang out with her. I think I've finished editing my Christmas pics, so here are a few of my favorites.

Happy New Year 2010!

The beginning of a new year. The beginning of a new decade. What will we call this decade? The zeros? What new things will come into our lives? Where will we be in 10 years? These are all exciting questions to me. The 90's brought the internet. What could top that? Almost every home in this country has a computer.

How will our family grow this decade? This is the time in our lives for raising children. Probably the wildest decade for us, but definitely the most exciting. There can be no greater pleasure in life than raising a child. Doing the best we can to raise our child to be a healthy, happy, productive member of society. Right now we are concentrating on learning how to eat food and learn some words. Soon we will be full fledged into temper tantrums, then walking and talking. Then potty training. This next year will be exciting for us.

So I hope everyone has a great start on the new year!

Oh and I'm a year older today too! I was born Jan. 1, 1981 at about 5 pm in Houston, TX.
