It's Been A While..

On this past Memorial Day (what lovely weather I might add) it was brought to my attention (by the probably the only persont that ever reads this thing) that I have not blogged in quite some time. I just pushed it on the back of my to-do list and it just not got done! But now I am back. Yay! Lots of big changes. Seth and I decided to move out. We found a cute little apartment in our price range just minutes from my parents house(which is where we are currently living). My mom is thrilled, I am thrilled that its still in the country close to family and seconds from my parents house and also VERY thrilled that my husband will no longer angry that I refuse to move out or grow-up or whatever he mumbles about. SO, on monday we are going to look at this little apartment and if we like it (which I am sure we will) we will move in on the 1st of July. I am ever so excited.


In the mist of our decision my dad came home to tell my brother that he found a house that the bank was fore-closing on and should make an offer. Its a 6 bedroom 3.5 bath, 3 car garage, 6.5 acres and has an in-law apartment all for 250,000. Who wouldn't LOVE that? He went and saw it, LOVED it, and decided to make an offer. Of course, we would benefit from this purchase because we could have the apartment..did I mention an inground pool? So here we are talking about paint schemes, wall paper, bathroom accents..blah blah when he gets a call from a plant up Maine around where his fiance's family lives and the offer him a supervisor position. Just as he's about to make the bid. If that's not a sign, I don't know what is!! My mom is stressing more then ever because she doesn't want him to move away...he's going to be 25 tommorrow. Its time to let him fly the nest. They are going to be so sad when we all leave, they are going to have no one to blame for the all the food missing. I don't think that I have ever mentioned that my dad is like a food elf. He eats in the middle of the night when all of us are sound asleep, and then denies eating anything. Even though there is clearly dirty dishes in the sink covered in peanut butter and we all know who eats peanut butter like its his job.





Seth's back is only getting worse. He has a horrible back problem and the dr. says surgery is the only correction. We are prolonging the surgery and he is getting steriod shots inbetween, but its only getting worse. On top of his back killing he took a second job at a restruant down O.O.B. to save up some extra money to move out AND Camden is still in our bed taking up most of the room so my poor poor husband in left to lay in the most akward of positions. He threatened that he will only sleep on the couch for a week and then after that he is going to sleep at his mom's until Cam sleeps in his crib. Does he not realize the stress that I am under and NOW THIS?! What is a girl to do? I love my little snuggle cuddle, but I also know that I don't want a 10 year old crawling into my bed every night either. I have to break this habit. I know I know!!! I know a little 18 month girl who makes her self so upset she throws up, just by going in her crib. I know soon he will pulling himself up on the side of the crib...I know all these things. I am just afraid he won't love me anymore or think that I am a bad mother for letting him "cry it out". This morning was the first morning that I put him in his crib for his morning nap.





This is how the morning played out...


6:15- Woke up to make hubby lunch...baby still asleep.


-Ever so gently crawled out of bed btw...


6:30- Baby awake. Damn.


6:45- Helping hubby get dressed (his back has left him almost helpless which the sock sisuation)


7:15 - attempt to feed baby breakfast...doesn't want any part of it.


7:30- Nurse the baby and hope he will fall asleep.


-No such luck.


7:45- Rock him to sleep, just as he falls asleep I ever so gently lay him in his crib.


-Ha. He wakes up. Shame on me for thinking he would stay asleep.


8:00- Call for back-up.


-Gram comes in and rubs his back and I get out of the picture.


8:20- ASLEEP. Call the president of the United States...he should interupt your broad cast....CAMDEN DONALD FELL ASLEEP ON HIS OWN IN HIS CRIB. HOLY MOLY, IT WORKED!


8:30- Woke up screaming....


-Gram went back in and rubbed his back some more


8:39- Back to sleep


9:01- Still sleeping and here I am!!!





If it only takes 2 days of that...I guess it wont be so bad. I will miss my morning naps though.. I did benefit from him sleeping too.





Yesterday I made my brother-in-law and his girlfriend who are expecting twins this June there baby shower gift! A dipaer cake!! Too cute. It took forever, luckily one of my friends came over to help. Next thing to tackle are the favors and I plan on making cup cakes as well. Its on saturday, we will see how far I get.





My great grandmother has a private beach on the Saco River and this past weekend me, my mom, Cam, and my aunt all went down to get some sun and see how much Cam loved the water. He thought it was the best thing. Here are some pics..
