Mommy’s Night Out March 27, 2007

Tonight I am going out to dinner with a friend for her birthday.  I honestly can not remember the last time that I did something with out a child clinging to me.  Needless to say I am very excited about this.  I feel as though it is my birthday. 

In other news, we recently found out that hubby’s insurance only covers $250/calendar year of Beebo’s doctor visits.  Complete crap, right? That doesn’t even cover 1 round of immunizations.  After a couple of weeks dealing with the non-exsistant HR people at his work all I found out is that “this is only temporary and due to the fact that the company was bought out last summer and is under new ownership”.  Thanks for nothing you stupid B****!  Then the medical bill comes in the mail: $1000+.  Since we don’t have an extra thousand dollars laying around and since I don’t crap gold nuggets we had to look at our options.  Basically all we could do was try to get some sort of medical assistance for the baby.  So luckily we were able to get medicare for Beebo and they also will back pay any bills for up to 3 months.  Fabulous!!!  What a pain in my ass this has been.  I am glad it is all over.  Now I just have to figure out if his doctor is on the magical list that will be covered.  Cross your fingers for us.

Little Drummer Boy March 25, 2007

Check out Beebo with his new toy.

One has Become Two March 23, 2007

So little Beebo’s lone tooth now has a friend.  That’s right we’ve got two teeth coming in now.  I keep having the same dream for the past couple of nights.  In this dream I go to get Beebo out of his crib in the morning and overnight all of his bottom teeth came in completely.  Then we go and play on the living room floor like every other day except he speaks.  His first word is “drum.” Why drum? We don’t have any drums anywhere in the house, where the heck did that come from?  Am I supposed to go buy him drums now, is he trying to tell me that he wants to play the drums? Who knows.

We’ve Got a Tooth People!! March 20, 2007

Finally one of BeeBo’s bottom teeth has started to come in.  It has been hanging out just waiting to break through his gums for weeks now.   He has been pretty cranky the past couple of days, now I know why.  I can’t believe how time flies.  My baby is already seven and a half months old, has his first tooth and is going to start crawling very soon.  Where has the time gone? Random thought… I can’t wait to see how sucky Sanjaya is tonight on AI. I wonder what the next hairstyle will be.

Bath Time March 14, 2007

I’m ready for my bath Mom.

All clean!!

Out for a Stroll March 13, 2007

Since it is such a beautiful day out today, Beebo and I went out for a walk.  He was the quietest I think he has ever been.  It must have been very relaxing for him because when we got home again he had a very full, very stinky diaper waiting for me.  I think the fresh air did us both some good.  I woke up today feeling not so great.  Beebo has passed his cold on to me.  I knew it was only a matter of time.  So all the windows are open and since he is finally better I have been disenfecting everything that he could have possibly put in his mouth.  That’s all for now.

Who needs toys… March 12, 2007

Why play with toys when you’ve got the Sunday Paper to play with instead.

Are you kidding me?!?! March 9, 2007

I can not believe that all of those millions of people that vote on American Idol kept Sanjaya on that show!!! I am enraged.  I have never once voted but I think that I may have to start just to get rid of that kid.  Is it just me or does he remind you of Michael Jackson too? On the brighter side Antonella is finally gone.  She has got to be one of the most tone-deaf contestants in the history of the show.  I swear she only lasted this long because of her looks. What is wrong with the American people.  More people vote for the next American Idol than the President of the United States for crying out loud!! You’d think we could at least get one of the two right.  I feel better now that I got that off my chest.  Goodnight!

Update… March 7, 2007

*BeeBo is feeling better, finally.  He seems to be back to his old self.  He is still congested a little bit but overall much better. 

*We are still working in crawling.  He as mastered getting up on his hands and one knee.  He sort of rocks back and forth a couple times, get frustrated then collapses.  It is really cute, I’ll work on getting some video.

*I think we are teething in full force!!! That could be part of the reason for the lingering cold symptoms.  Bibs do absolutely nothing for the drooling.  They just soak completely through and get his shirt wet. He is also seriously chomping on any and everything.  He bites down so hard that his face gets all crinkled up and he grunts.

*Grandma and Grandpa have left the country.  They are off the sunny Costa Rica.  We are all jealous but hope you have a blast.  We will see you when you get back.

A successful Sunday March 5, 2007

I managed to get my house clean and several loads of laundry done even though Beebo was a monster today and of course Hubby and Lyhna were MIA most of the afternoon.  I need to vent a bit… I decided that the kitchen and dining room floors needed a real good scrubbing, the get down on your hands and knees kind of scrubbing, since Beebo will be crawling soon. That floor was squeaky clean when I was done, then the husband and daughter get home.  They bought some fudge while they were out and about. So Lyhna cuts up the fudge for herself and her dad–no big deal right? WRONG!! I walk in the kitchen and there is fudge all over my nice clean floor!! DAMN IT!! Kids will be kids.  I can’t wait to see what kind of shape the rest of the house will be in when I get home tonight.  On the bright side, Hubby made dinner for us before I went to work.  Thanks honey!!!
