Bloggers block

I have a serious case of writer's block. I have been wanting to write so badly, but have nothing to write about. I find that most of the stuff I do everyday is a little, um, dull... I don't think you all want to hear what baby food I feed baby or if I get to go on a walk or how many loads of laundry I did today. My creative brain has shrunk so much that I am contemplating asking Soder for idea advice. (It is getting serious people!)

Blogging is my therapy and I am failing at it because I have nothing noteworthy to comment on.... so bear with me for the next little bit. That is your warning, my next few blogs are going to be very random, because I am going to power through this and find my funk again! Hopefully!

Randomness for the week

Some very random thoughts have been running through my head and if I don't get them out soon, I might go crazy.

My ideals about short hair styles for women over 30 has changed. While I would love to be one who sticks by my guns, I will have to let my hair grow out a bit because there isn't room on my debit card for my expensive haircuts every 6 weeks. (right now I am going on 3 months) I will keep it short-ish (if that is a word, which I don't think it is, but oh well) See I have gotten wiser with age.

Tonight, my hilarious son was swinging his arms around after getting out of his high chair. As he was acting like king of the wild things, he knocked over a glass of water. The glass of water went all over the table and all over my phone. My nice phone. My nice phone that did everything. My nice phone that did everything including video and photos. Now my phone is in pieces on a towel just drying out. I am hoping my phone will think I am treating to a 'spa day' and work better than ever tomorrow when I try it out. Oh, did I mention that Baby laughed hysterically after this happened. Like full on laughing. It was a mixed emotion kinda moment because he was so cute, but I was so sad about my phone. Speaking of tomorrow, my baby has his nine month appointment in the morning. It has gone by so fast. It is amazing how much has changed in that time. Nine months.... crazy. I still can't believe I am a mom. He has totally changed my life, but in a weird way he hasn't. He has simply fit into our lives almost effortlessly. It is like I don't really have worries or doubts about motherhood because this is what I was meant to do. I still don't think I am describing it correctly, but it is the best I can do.


My parents come up in three short weeks. I have been counting down the time since they will visit and I think that it has been entirely too long. (The last time we saw them in person was in November.) Then after their visit it will be our friends from Nebraska, then the Inlaws. I don't know what to look forward to after that. I guess I am now taking bookings for the Sodermoto abode for the fall time. Any takers?

Randomnesss of the days

Thing Two is now accustomed to the rainy weather up here. He offered me 3 of his 4 feet (not at the same time) when I was wiping them off and didn't even struggle. Thing One has a ways to go yet, she will only do her business under trees when it is raining and will seriously look at you like 'I am not going out there' when you tell her to if it is stormy. She is a little diva.

Most entertaining thing of the weekend is watching Baby eat his first finger foods. I never knew Cheerios were that entertaining.
Thing Two has also become quiet the nosy neighbor. He is so concerned with the comings and goings of our neighbors that very often during the day you find him with his nose pressed to the bottom of our front door. We might have to rename him Gladys Kravitz.

I have also determined through a very scientific process, that we are not in a recession. The problem our society is in is that there are entirely too many addictive games out there like Angry Birds and we are all playing instead of working. I am sure you have heard of it, and if you haven't played it yet, DON'T! Your productivity will be reduced to zero and stay that way until you have passed a significant number of levels. I speak from experience.

And lastly, I have to tell someone my dirty little secret. I have watched the entire season of Toddlers and Tiaras on Netflix. It is such a train wreck of a show with little girls (and boys) participating in beauty pageants. Shocking to see all the fake nails, hair, eyelashes, tans and TEETH! (yeah, unbelievable, but they give the girls fake teeth to cover their kid teeth), but somehow watching the parents be so crazy helps me find my sanity. Yes, it is a bad show to support, but the fix it gives me feels so good. I wish I was addicted to something far less embarrassing than this but we can't choose our dirty little secrets can we?

It sounds like I have had a very 'efficient week' from this post (Angry Birds and Toddlers and Tiaras), but I really was productive. I worked and I guess I just must have needed more of a mental break so I definitely found the ways to be completely brainless.
