Nesting vs Productive

I'm not 100% sure which one it is or maybe its a combination of both, but I've been getting a lot of stuff done lately and I must say, I'm proud of myself!

In the past few days, while I've not had to work, I have managed to do all the laundry in the house, reorganize my kitchen cabinets, laundry room, and bedroom closet. As well as get an oil change in the car, move Baby #2's bassinet upstairs to our bedroom, and do general cleaning around the house.

I have to admit, its nice to stay busy while Mr.W is away and knowing that he'll appreciate it when he gets home makes it even better!

On another note...
while I was at the store today I noticed that they were beginning to put out all the Halloween stuff which got me thinking... what should Lilly be this year?

Her first Halloween she was a spider
Her second she was a batty ballerina
Anybody have any suggestions?

oh and I found what I'm gonna wear for Halloween...


Oh and one last thing...
THE PACKERS PLAY TONIGHT!!!
Go Pack Go!

Mom, Mommy, Mama!

Anyone who has a toddler or young child knows what I'm talking about. Lilly for whatever reason finds it necessary to update me, Mr.W, and whoever else might be around, on what is happening on a moment to moment basis.

"Mommy, They are playing football"
"Mommy, Lilly's hungry"
"Mommy, Rocko is sleeping"

And if you ignore her the first time she says your name it turns into "mommy, mommy, mommy, mom, mom, mom..." You get the picture.


I love Lilly to death, but I want to know... does it ever end?

Losing it.

I'm having one of those days where it just seems like I'm losing my marbles.

It seems like Lilly no longer wants to listen to anything I tell her anymore. If I tell her to eat her dinner she just whines and makes faces and runs away, HOWEVER if Mr.W tells her to do something she says "okay daddy" and gets right to it. I know she is only 2 but I don't know what happened that I no longer have any authority over her anymore. 

And for about the millionth time today I have thought of something that needed to be done, gone to do that thing and then forgot what I was supposed to be doing.

Examples:
 ~ I wanted a drink, so I walked to the kitchen, and then forgot why I had gone to the kitchen. 
~ cleaning bathroom, go to get Windex for mirror, forgot what i was looking for in cabinet.
~ Start typing a post, save it to go pick up Mr.W from work, forget to publish post.

I'm losing my mind and it keeps happening more and more!

Fancy Finds Friday

I know its not Friday anymore but i started typing it on Friday. Anywho...Since I've come down with prego brain and can never think of things to write, I thought I would share some of the nifty things that I have found this week.

1. MyFonts.com
MyFonts: the world's largest collection of fonts
This website is great if your looking for a font for pretty much any occasion. I mainly use it for my scrapbooking. It give me so may great choices for title fonts.

2. Lilly's New Shoes
Got them for $5 at the PX!

3. Yankee Candle "Farmers Market"
This is pretty much my FAVORITE smell for fall. Last year it's all I burnt in our house and I seriously wish scentsy had a similar fragrance!
