stop the bus...

i wanna be lonely

when seconds pass slowly

and years go FLYIN by

gotta stop the bus - i get off here!

-Ben Folds

that song has been flitting through my head for weeks now. at least the couple of lines i quoted above. though i think i disagree with the "seconds pass slowly" part. because nowadays it seems as though every second is picking up and going quicker and quicker than the last. i know i know, woe is me, you've heard it all before. probably because i write what's on my mind, and that's all that's on my mind.

this week was a series of happenings, and it's friday already! first, sunday was my first mothers' day, as well as gobbles' 5 month mark. i spent the day eating enough to put my diet and the rest of my weight watchers class to shame, i think i've taken back about 3 weeks' of progress because of it! oh well, everything from the breakfast my husband made me to the picas pizza and funfetti cake at dinner at my mom's was worth every calorie. and hey, i ran some of it off at soccer in between...


on happenings of actual importance - two friends had beautiful baby boys this week! i had the priveledge of meeting one and hope to meet the other soon enough. they are both adorable and i'm so incredibly happy for my friends. holding the little 8 lb cutie felt so different than hauling around my 20 lb giant, it's amazing how much change happens so quickly, congratulations girls and embrace every minute with the little ones, because they just don't seem to be little for long!

First tee I ever got for him, I was 5 weeks pregnant. And now it barely fits!

on the parenting side, we've hit an unexpected milestone with mr. gobbles. i wouldn't even really call it a milestone, more like a speedbump. this week all of the sudden he's become super clingy to me, rejecting the bottle from my husband before bedtime and only wanting the boob. daycare mentioned the same thing. i hope this is only temporary, that he's just in a mood, because weaning starts in t minus 3 weeks and he has to be ok with it or it's a no go. and i NEED to start weaning. see, with my head being in a million places, i actually FORGOT a critical piece to my pump yesterday at work and didn't realize it until i went into the pumping room and had all my stuff set up. i had some things that needed to get done before i left the office, so by the time i got home, i was leaking all over and crying in pain. an hour and 24 ounces later i felt sweet relief! so yes, the weaning must start soon because i'm not sure how much longer this can go on.


other than that, i'm just trying to hang onto the little moments as much as i can. my favorite time right now is weekend mornings. gobbles lets us sleep in until 7 or 7:30, then i'll get up and feed him and bring him back into bed with us. he'll sit there and giggle, talk, roll around, do tummy time, or just stare at the fan while he holds our hands and sucks his paci. those few quiet minutes, with just our little family, make up for all the craziness the week has thrown at us. if i could push pause once a week, it would be then.


this weekend, it's time for gobbles to see his roots - off to his daddy's hometown. and before we go, all i need to do is finish work, get the dogs to the boarder, change the poopy sheets in the crib (yes we wokr up this morning to the stench of a poopy diaper explosion. little man didnt seem to mind to much, slept right through it - or in it i should say. ew.), vacuum the house, and pack. oh yea and pick up the baby from daycare! so why am i wasting my time blogging? i have NO idea.

Yea, lazybones, get up and do stuff already!
